We are happy to announce the winner of the Local Fix Video Contest — Canyon Cycles of Dripping Springs, TX!
All across the globe, bike shops fuel their customer’s passion for cycling, provide stoke at every level from beginner to pro, and turn the wrenches that keep the wheels spinning. Local bike shops build both trails and community while sharing their knowledge and excitement for the sport of cycling. We wanted to hear the stories of your local bike shop, and it was great to get a peek into several great shops and to see how impactful they can be in their local communities. Proving that the bike shop is where the fix is local.
Congratulations to Canyon Cycles on winning a Park Tool PRS-33 Power Lift Shop Stand and to videographer Alan H. on your new PRS-25 Team Issue Repair Stand and $100 shopping credit at Canyon Cycles.
Though Canyon Cycles calls Texas home, its humble roots lie in Ruidoso, New Mexico where Shane McAnally opened up shop in his early twenties to help fuel his professional downhill mountain biking career. Shane describes these years with the proud title of “bum” and even recalls sleeping on a couch in the back of the shop when he didn’t have money for rent. After meeting his wife, Shane moved back to his home state and settled in Dripping Springs, a small town of less than 2000 people, nestled in the Texas Hill Country. Many wonder how a high end bike shop can stay afloat in such a small community that is still close enough to Austin to lose business to large shops with ample resources, and even national chains like REI who has three locations in the Austin area. The answer is truly superb, personalized service that caters to all levels and styles of riders paired with a friendly atmosphere and an honest duo of mechanics that customers can trust. During his time in Dripping Springs, Shane has played an integral role in growing the sport of mountain biking through his assistance with the middle and high school mountain biking teams. He has also offered his time, resources and knowledge on countless occasions whether it is tuning bikes to donate to kids who otherwise would not have a present on Christmas or cutting trail for members of the community to ride. Canyon Cycles has fought through lean times with nothing but a smile and a vision of the future while they strive to keep the community rolling on two wheels.
