Image of what the interior of the cafe and bike shop looked like the day we got keys. It's dirty. The walls are gross. The door is grey instead of white and covered in handprints.

And thus began our family journey to open the doors of On your bike, and pool together all of our various skills. it’s a wide range of hats we wear - a cook, a baker, two welders, a muralist, a mechanic and a screen printer. We wanted to dig in and make a place with our own two hands. And we did. From hanging drywall to cutting the vinyl on the windows. Just ask and we’d be happy to tell you about it. (Except how we got the vintage cb450 on the platform. If you can guess, step by step, how that was done, you win free coffee for a month. SRSLY.)

Adam’s been in marshall for 10 years, Madeleine and alex got blown here from new orleans by katrina 18 years ago (M was 2!) and thanks to funding through the SBA and mountain biz works We got the opportunity to be a part of our downtown community. We’re so glad to be here.

    You’ll find Madeleine here every day slinging coffee and working on her latte art. She is behind the creative drink specials, the genius smoothies and she keeps the coffee coming. Nobody else is allowed to touch the pretty red espresso machine.

    Adam has loved bikes his entire life, and has subsequently raced, wrecked and rebuild quite a lot of them. We find him kind, patient and encyclopedic. Bikes are the only thing that could have tempted him off his beloved mountain ridge. Bike pro? You can trust him with your high end bike. Novice? He can help guide you into the right ride. If the zombie apocalypse goes down, you want him on your team. He’s that guy.

    Mother of one, and newly wed to the other. She painted the walls, did the logo design and does all the cooking. She got stuck doing the website, and boy who’s laughing now?

    If you’ve been by on a sunday, you might have noticed a new face behind the counter. Meet Rowan. When things get busy and we need a 4th pair of hands - they’re here to help.

here to support your weekend rides.

Maybe your wheel is wobbling, or maybe your shifter isn’t shifting. Maybe you’re just thirsty or forgot some sunscreen. We’ve got a great place here for you to sit in the ac (or in the heat depending on the time of year) and enjoy a frosty cold drink or smoothie (or a nice hot coffee - you know - depending on the time of the year.) It’s a good spot to recoup with friends at the end of a ride, or to take a breather before you turn around and head back down old marshall highway on the bakery ride. or Maybe it’s simply a place to go on a day when bikes aren’t even on the radar.
