New bike shop opens in Campbell




I had a chance tonight to meet the new owner of State Bicycle Company which is opening up tomorrow in downtown Campbell. Katie and her husband are opening up their shop in the bustling Downtown Campbell Business District.

I wrote last week that business is so good on Sundays that Tread bike shop opens at 9:00 am on Sundays in addition to being the only bike shop in the area to rent bicycles.


Katie mentioned how excited they are to be in downtown Campbell which Is drawing dinners, shoppers, and event goers who are attracted by the quiet and safe street, access to light rail and the Los Gatos Creek trail, and the recent streetscape improvements.

They plan to focus on fixies, accessories, and clothing. The shop is located right near the light rail tracks at 416 E. Campbell Ave.

The couple chose to open this weekend to take advantage of the popular Octoberfest festival. Stop by the store and say hello and welcome the couple to downtown Campbell.

When things calm down after the opening I plan to talk to Katie and her husband to find out how they got started in the business and why they chose Campbell.
