Transforming Real Estate Dreams into Reality
At The Smallest Cog Bicycle Shop, we are passionate about bicycles and the joy they bring to people's lives. Our dream to create a unique and personalized bike shop started in 2015 with a successful Ok Cupid date in Washington DC. Our journey has taken us from the bustling streets of Washington DC to the charming town of Saint Peter, Minnesota, where we have made our new home.
Our Story
Mark, our co-owner, grew up in Mankato and became a bike commuter at the tender age of 10, riding to Hoover Elementary School. He almost lost his way at 16, but he quickly returned to the righteous path of bike-centric living. Mark's love for bicycles only deepened over time, and he honed his mechanical skills at the Bicycle Pro Shop in Georgetown. Amanda, our other co-owner, grew up in Philadelphia, where she developed a passion for art, animals, and gardening. She runs her own art conservation practice, preserving works on paper, and also enjoys the great outdoors on her custom All City Cosmic Stallion.
