Tony’s worked at The Bike Palace since he was 17, so it’s been awhile (about 40 years, since he was away for college for awhile).
Maty Dimancich started The Bike Palace in 1973 at the current location. Matty’s background had been in the automotive industry, where he served as a mechanic and salesperson, but most recently as an owner of a Shell service station, that was directly across the street. His expertise as a mechanic, made Matty enjoy the bicycle business immediately. Matty’s enthusiasm and genuine interest in each customer set a standard we try to match each and every day.
