ABOUT US

Copper Cog came from a lifetime of doing the work, day in and day out, and knowing it could be done better—more honestly, more simply, and with more respect for the rider.

​

This isn’t a big shop with a sales floor and a dozen mechanics—it’s just us, doing what we love, one bike at a time. We don’t believe in overcomplicating things. If it needs fixing, we fix it. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.

​

We’re here to offer solid work, fair pricing, and a space where riders of all kinds feel comfortable. Linden’s the one wrenching, Holly’s practicing her puns, and our kid might be busy drawing on the floor with chalk.

​

There’s good coffee, a river out back, and plenty of bike talk if you’re into it.

KREWE DU ROUAGE (n.)
A family-sized krewe of two humans, one small wildling, and a Sheltie mascot, rolling through life with coffee, chalk art, and a whole lot of elbow grease. Not an official Mardi Gras krewe, but if bikes paraded down Bourbon Street, we’d be cruising in style—probably slightly over-caffeinated and towing a trailer full of snacks.
