1979 was the beginning of Sussex County having a trust worthy family owned bicycle store.  As bicycles advanced thru the 80's and 90's they kept technology and customer care at the heart of the business.  After 20 years the original Owners Bernie & Arlea Gallagher decided it was time to retire.  From that point forward the Sussex Bike & Sport Shop had continued the excellence in customer service, community growth, and fore filling everyone's bicycle needs in the same high standards Bernie & Arlea set forth.  Passion drives us to excel.  We have deep routed passion for bicycles.

JASON ZIEGLER (Owner)

Owner Jason lived on his bikes. As kids he and his brother Kevin would spend every waking moment in the summer riding around Vernon and Franklin on their BMX bikes. His first road bike was an 8th-grade graduation gift in 1987. It was nothing but passion for biking from there. In 1991 he joined the previous owners of the Sussex Bike & Sport Shop, Bernie & Arlea Gallagher. After a hiatus from the bike shop Jason went to school for neuromuscular massage therapy and worked with patients with lymphedema. It was while in the pre-med program at FDU (dean's list) in 1998 that Jason decided that he would become the owner of the Sussex Bike & Sport Shop.

"The bike shop is where I belong. I love what I do. Using both my bicycle knowledge and my knowledge of the human form makes our shop more than just a place to purchase things. We educate you so you can truly enjoy cycling."
