Switchback Cyclery Saying Goodbye

It's with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I need to tell you all that Switchback Cyclery is going to close it's doors at the end of the year.

We have so enjoyed being a part of the bike community and all the wonderful people involved it in, but the economy is getting the best of us and we need to move on to other adventures to support our family.

So with that said....OUR ENTIRE SHOP IS ON SALE UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SELL !!!!

Thank You to everyone who has made the last 10 years of business so great! We have made some great friends along the way!

On the bright side...now we will be able to ride with all of you !!!

 

Just picked my bike up from there last night.......sad to hear

Whole shop on sale? that's the way to end...on a high note! I'll be sure to stop in! :beer: again

Thnx for all you've done for the local biking community:clap::clap::clap:...events, races, sponsorship and just being helpful! You'll be missed in the shop, but glad to see you'll be on the trails still. \\/

What's next for you?:?:

 

Tim and Sherry I am very sorry to hear this sad news. You are both such great people and have taken care of many of my bike needs over the past few years. I am sure whatever venture you end up in next it will be a solid one. This economy truly is the depression of our time and hopefully we don't see it for much longer. Hope to see you both on the trails soon!

 

Say it ain't so...

Sorry to hear it but I wish you the best in whatever you pursue.

 

Oh bummer! I will get down there soon with my Supershuttle I picked up from you! Best of luck!!!

 

This is another case where I hate goodbyes.

Although I can't say that I've frequented the shop, I've sent many people there who have been happy with the service.

Although this may be the end of one aspect of Tim and Sherri's life, I hope it's the beginning of something good. Remember, with all bad comes some good - we just don't always know what it is.

Best wishes in your next endeavors!

 

Tim and Sherri. Thanks to you both for everything.

 

I am sad to hear the news of Switchback closing. Tim and Sherry, you guys have contributed a lot to the local mtb scene. I wish the two of you and everyone at Switchback the best of luck with your future endeavors.

 

Sherry and Tim, I am so sorry to read this news, but wish you the best and hope that this leads to a great next phase in your lives. Best of wishes to you both, with very sincere thanks for your contributions to the local cycling community.

So everything's on sale, huh?
Can I buy a few of those CC & VQ feathers so I don't have to ride the darn things?!

 

Where am I going to trudge into on a rainy day just before the CC to pick up my packet and chat to you and the folks for that last bit of positive chat to convince myself its gonna be great fun!

Good luck in your next adventure.

 

This is sad news. I personally like going there because it close to my house and service is outstanding. Thanks for everything Tim and Sherry.

 

Sorry to hear this, such a shortage of good shops, and yours has always had a great rep... perhaps you might consider opening up in LA... there are no good shops up here.

 

Very sorry to hear, thanks for all that you have contributed to the biking community. And good luck with your future endeavors!

 

Sad news indeed! But, we'll all be anxiously awaiting your ride posts from here on out (now you can lead the CC/VQ training rides, right?)

Wishing you well on your future endeavors!!!

 

Sorry to hear the news...

A few years back (when I rode Santiago Oaks), we would sometimes stop in for tubes, chain lube (etc.).
One time, we even stopped by to pick-up a helmet (my friend forgot his at home).
What I am trying to say is: Switchback "saved us" on more than one occasion...
Best wishes... :beer:

 

Switchback has been my second home for the last 8 years. I have gone from customer to friend to employee. It has been a pleasure to work for 2 people as passionate about the cycling community as Tim & Sherry.

I was always treated great when all I was was a customer. With or without Switchback I have lifelong friends.

I have met a lot of people, talked a lot of shop, helped get you back on your bikes, helped out when I saw you on the trails.

Thanks to everyone who ever walked through the door.

See you all out on the trails.

We will keep you posted as to the new home for all the Warrior's Society Stuff...assume it will be at another local bike shop!

 

wow, this is nuts and totally sux.

Sherry and Tim i wish you and the rest of the gang at Switchback the very best!!

You have been a very important part of the OC mtb community in many different ways as shop owners, ride/race promoters, riders, etc.

I will never forget how willing you were to contribute swag to the str take your kid mtb day and I hope you know how much the kids appreciated it as well.

Please let us know what you guys are doing next so we can keep in touch.

Please also look out for a PM

 

This BLOWS!!!!!! I was even wearing my Switchback T-shirt on the podium Sunday in appreciation for the help getting all my stuff for the Sunday! Good luck in whatever you two do. Thanks alot for everything you guys have done for me, you're the best, I love you both. I'm sure i'll still be seeing you around, RIGHT!
