What Eddy's does
Eddy Ruggles opened Eddy's Market in Stow in 1938. It was a general store selling food, coal and refurbished bikes, and bikes joined the mix around 1940. BMX, helped along by the Stow BMX track, and early mountain bikes turned it into a full bike shop in the 1980s. His grandson Jimmy Ruggles now runs the business. The Stow store is the original and still the hub, with a 22,000-square-foot warehouse behind it. Eddy's also has stores in Montrose (Akron), North Olmsted, Willoughby Hills and Rocky River.
Specialized, Trek and Gazelle have the most eBike models in the chain's online catalog. It also lists Troxus, Electra, Giant, Momentum and Urban Arrow cargo bikes, plus TerraTrike electric trikes. Stock differs by store, so check which models Stow has before you visit. Every eBike sale carries a $60 destination fee and a $15 battery recycling fee (part of the PeopleForBikes and Call2Recycle program), both paid at pickup.
eBike and suspension service
Eddy's techs are trained and certified on BEP, Bosch, Fazua, HyDrive, Hyena, Shimano, Specialized and TQ systems. They handle everything from a flat to diagnostics or a display upgrade. Some parts have to be special ordered. The shop also has a Certified Suspension Diagnostics Technician trained by Fox, RockShox and Specialized.
There are three service packages. Basic covers a safety check, shifting and brake adjustment, a minor wheel true, lubrication and bolt torque. Essential adds a full lateral and vertical wheel true, ultrasonic drivetrain cleaning, a bottom bracket check, hanger alignment, hub adjustment and a frame polish. Performance adds labor for new bar tape or grips, cables, pads, a headset overhaul and a hydraulic brake flush, with parts extra. Adult trikes, tandems and recumbents are priced separately. There is also a hot wax chain service.
Rentals and where to ride
Stow is one of only two Eddy's stores that rent bikes. The other is Rocky River.

Road and gravel riders can also rent carbon demo wheels. Buy a set within 14 days and the rental fee comes off the price.
