Thank You.

For many, the holidays are a time to reflect on the things they are thankful for. For us here at Evergreen Bicycle Works, we are thankful for all of the great people we have met through the shop over the last five and a half years. Many have been customers, some have been regulars, and a few we have even come to call friends.

Owning and operating a small business is hard in the best of times, and when things that negatively impact the business begin to accumulate, it’s almost impossible. The people we have met through the shop over the years have given us the motivation to keep moving forward through the growing list of challenges: COVID, increased shipping costs, tariffs, disruptions along the Empire State Trail, inventory challenges in the bicycle industry, decreased consumer spending, the list goes on and on. At a certain point it becomes unsustainable - if not financially, certainly in the amount of time and energy it takes to keep moving forward.

Over the next few weeks, we will be winding down our business operations. If you have been a customer or supporter over the last five and a half years, we’d love to see you at least one more time before Christmas.

Thank you to all that have supported us over the years, including our many great customers, family and friends, the Village and Town of Fort Edward, Friends of the Champlain Canalway Trail, Feeder Canal Alliance, Parks & Trails NY, Promote Fort Edward, and so many others. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

Kyle, Randy, & Socks
