New Resource for Cyclists
by Anika Imajo
Driven by their shared love of bicycles and desire to fill a commercial void east of downtown, Church Hill residents Suzanne Critchlow and Brett Eastman have given new purpose to a tiny, long vacant storefront on East Marshall Street by transforming it into Cyclus, a bike retail and repair shop.

Critchlow describes Cyclus as a, “full-service bicycle repair shop,” which also offers a selection of new and used bicycles and accessories.

Critchlow describes Cyclus as a, “full-service bicycle repair shop,” which also offers a selection of new and used bicycles and accessories. Kona, their commuter brand of bicycles, is their primary line. “Our customer base is mainly commuters,” Critchlow explains.

In addition to its retail offerings, Cyclus provides a broad range of bicycle maintenance and repair services. According to Critchlow, both she and Eastman have invested considerable time and effort into honing their bike repair skills. Eastman, she explains, has worked on bikes since he was very young.

Critchlow began to work on bikes in 2005, worked in a bicycle repair shop for three years, and has recently attended classes at the United Bicycle Institute in Ashland, OR, where she studied advanced mechanics, professional wheel building, and shock maintenance. “We are equipped to perform most any repair,” she says.
