Since 2001, Silver Comet Depot has been “getting more people on bicycles” and onto the adjacent Silver Comet Trail. Owner Arno Wood, who worked his way up through the ranks at Silver Comet Depot following a career in the automotive industry, purchased the business from its founder in 2004. “I wanted to use my skills to do something a little more productive,” Wood said of his decision to change careers. “I’ve always been a cyclist, and I’ve always enjoyed making people happy.” Wood’s passion for cycling, and for people, is contagious at the Depot, where they rent and sell bikes of all types and sizes. From comfort hybrid bikes meant for recreational cruising to high performance models made for speed, Silver Comet Depot has just about anything anyone might need to hit the Trail (or the neighborhood streets) in style. “We’re here to provide services to folks who want to ride the Silver Comet Trail or anywhere else,” Arno said. “Cycling is a wonderful sport and great for the family too.” Silver Comet Depot offers professional fitting by its highly qualified staff with all bicycle purchases and even has a trade up program for the kids. It’s that customer centric mentality and home town shop feel that snagged Best Bike Shop for Silver Comet Depot. Owner Arno Wood shows off his personal bike near the shop on the Silver Comet Trail.
