Seventy-plus years on South 8th Street

The shop traces its roots to J.W. Madison, who fixed up used bikes for neighborhood kids in his backyard across from Woodlawn Cemetery. In 1947 his family moved into a duplex at 912-914 S 8th St, living on one side and opening the Madison Bicycle Shop on the other. His son Carl (Odie) Madison joined, and in 1964 one of Odie's Boy Scouts, 13-year-old Greg Davis, started helping out.

The shop began selling new bikes in 1967 with Raleigh and Robin Hood, and over the decades carried brands from Schwinn and Fuji to GT, Giant and Trek. Odie, known for his wheel truing, minded the shop almost every day for 65 years. The history page also remembers a line of shop dogs, from Rusty in the 1970s to Muggs, a Pekingese counter dog, until 2011.

The team today

Greg Davis has been involved since 1964, became a full partner in 1973 and took ownership in 2013. Manager and lead mechanic Ryan Hildebrand, a two-time Ironman, started in 1999, graduated from Trek University in 2006 and was certified as a road and triathlon bike fit technician in 2013. Alex Adams joined in 2015 in sales and service.

The shop carries Trek road, mountain, hybrid and kids bikes plus e-bikes, takes trade-ins, handles special orders and Project One custom builds, and sells apparel, shoes, glasses and helmets. It is a proud sponsor of the Quincy Bike Club.
