Mark in his element

An Atlanta native, Mark has been tinkering with bicycles since he was a kid. In the beginning he would take the coaster brake mechanisms out of the rear hubs of his friend’s bmx bikes and install a hand brake (which was so much cooler). In 1996 a friend let him borrow a mountain bike to go for a ride on some trails near the Chattahoochee River and He was hooked! His career in the bicycle business began about a month later when he found a part time job working at AJ Barnes Bicycles in Marietta Ga. While there he learned the basics of bicycle maintenance and how to run a shop from the owner of the store. As his knowledge in bicycle maintenance grew he moved on to Atlanta Cycling where he worked on high end road and race bikes. Eventually he became a lead mechanic and operations manager for one of the nations largest bicycle shops. Mark never gets tired of bicycles or the business. It is his true passion and calling. We are extremely pleased at Decatur Bikes to have such a knowledgeable individual on our staff. In addition to his many shop functions he also maintains the companies website and social network pages. If you have not already like us on facebook you can search for us by our FB name: Decatur Bikes and follow us on twitter. Joey Schoenfeld

Joey posing in the shop

Joey has been with the Decatur Bikes team since June 2009, & under Mark’s tutelage, has soaked up the mechanics of bike service.

He recently attended Parkview High School, graduating the tallest in his class at 6’8”. Joey is in his 3rd season of competing in cycle-cross. He has won 1st in the 15-18 age group the last two years, & was the junior state champion in 2009. He also races at the velodrome on his fixed-wheel. He has really come out of his shell since he’s been with us, & as our shop comedian, he leaves us all laughing whether he has meant to or not. He is attending Georgia Gwinnett College, & we hope to keep him on board as long as we can.

About

melissa — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:53:26 +0000

How it all started

Dave tells the story- In February, 2006, with 30 or so of my Team-in-Training teammates at a post-swim meeting at Moe’s on North Druid Hills. I overheard a common theme – somebody needed to open another Triathlon supply store in Atlanta. Not just another store, but one that focused on the developing triathlete and cyclist. It needed to be a store where someone can come in as a novice rider, be sold the correct equipment and learn the sport from knowledgeable staff. After struggling for 5 years to find Atlanta stores that carried the things we triathletes wanted, I knew they were right. So teaming with a category-two eligible, only speed is fast, cyclist friend, and my triathlete wife Tammy, we began to envision a store that was heavy on cycling and cycling gear to service the bike clubs, but would also be the one stop shop for all things triathlon. While we’ve had to postpone the indoor lap pool for wetsuit fitting, the hypoxic training cube for low-oxygen recovery workouts, and even the showers and Massage Therapist, we do have the F.I.S.T. bike fitting certification. The journey took a full 18 months from concept to concrete. But now, with the associations of Tri Bike Transport and the pools at Mercer University and Agnes Scott College, the cooperation of great vendors like Jamis, KHS, Zipp Speed Weaponry, and Saris/Cycleops, we feel that we have the very location that was described that cold February evening. The final part of the puzzle fell into place when we hired Mark Scarbrough to join us as the General Manager. Decatur Bikes has the staff that can properly fit you to your bicycle, and show you how to maintain your bike and tri gear, answer questions on nutrition, and provide you access to clubs and organizations within the cycling and triathlon communities including our own beginner triathlon club. Going into our fourth year of business, Decatur Bikes continues to be a work-in-process, but it is a labor of love. And we continue to look for the best equipment, and provide the best customer service. We hope you will consider us your triathlon and cycling equipment source.
