Freedom Gear Cyclery

I truly can't say enough about the wonderful people at Freedom Gear Cyclery. Without their support and insight I truly don't think I could have made this entire trip possible.  Matt and Kim Brodbeck has only had Freedom Gear Cyclery open for about 6 months but the impact they are making in the community and people that they come in contact with is amazing.

As I was starting the planning for bikes I was doing a lot of research on different touring bikes. I traveled to a lot of bike shop throughout the area.  The first time I walked through the door at Freedom Gear Cyclery it was a little different than any of the others.  Matt came up to me and asked if he could help with anything and I started asking him about touring bikes.  He was very informative and about a half an hour into our conversations, he asked "So what are you doing"?  I kind of smiled a little and told him I was riding my bike across country.  Matt's eyes got a little bigger and then I told him that I was riding for the Brian Grant Foundation, Rachael's Raising Hope, and Spencer's Army.  His first response without blinking an eye was "I want to help".  Every other bike shop I went to would respond with how amazing it was or that's awesome but Matt showed his heart with his response. We continued to talk about the adventure that I was planning and Matt was telling me what they could actually do to help.  That day I was with Tony, my uncle, and we left Freedom Gear Cyclery knowing that we found the shop that could truly help with this adventure.

The last few months I have spent countless hours in Freedom Gear Cyclery and I know without a doubt I was sent there for a reason.  Matt, Kim, Fred, and the entire staff have been wonderful to me.  They have not only helped me with cycling and all the planning, they helped me along my spiritual journey.  Above the door as you leave they have a bible verse that empowers their name.

2 Corinthians 3:17

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Matt, Kim, Fred, Little Matt, and everyone at Freedom Gear Cyclery are not only wonderful at maintenance for your bike, fitting, finding the perfect bike for your needs, or helping you plan a trip across country, they are fantastic people.  I'm happy to call Freedom Gear Cyclery my bike shop but more importantly I'm blessed to call everyone there my friends.
