Anchor Bay Bicycle & Fitness opened its doors for business in May of 1996. Owner, John Trexler, began his career in 1972 at Jake's Bike Shop in Harper Woods. It was there that he developed his passion for the sport of cycling. In addition to acquiring mechanical skills and mastering the art of wheel building, he helped construct the Madison Velodrome indoor board track, raced in the Debaets-DeVos Memorial Races at Chandler Park, and always looked forward to the Wolverine 200 Bike Marathon on Belle Isle every spring.
