Bicycle shop coming to Cherokee
The success of Cherokee’s 10.5-mile Fire Mountain Trail System has spurred Motion Makers Bicycle Shop to open a new location in Cherokee, expected to be operational by early May.
The Fire Mountain Trails, opened last year, have quickly grown to become a popular destination. The new shop will sit at the trailhead to the River Trail, a low-key family ride leading to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, and is near the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the starting point for several legendary gravel bike routes into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The store will be in downtown Cherokee on the corner of Big Cove and Acquoni Roads with an address of 17 Big Cove Road. Hours will be announced soon. Founded in 1986, Motion Makers already has stores in Sylva and Asheville.
