Fitzgerald's Bicycles

Fitzgerald's exists to grow CYCLING, the success of our COMMUNITY, and respect for the PLANET. CYCLING. Obviously, but it's more than meets the eye. Years ago when we asked, "why does Fitzgerald's exist?", it forced us to take a hard look at why we do what we do. Although we thought it went without saying, we realized that we truly do what we do because we love bikes and want to see more of them in the world. Bikes are good for individuals, good for communities, and good for the planet. We make every decision based on our mission statement and this part of it comes first. If we fail to grow Cycling then the shop will not be as successful. If we're not successful there is no way to grow Cycling, the Success of Our People or Respect for the Planet. COMMUNITY. We strive to grow the success of our local community by collectively working on creating thriving cycling environments for all abilities and ages. Growing the outward success of our community begins with internally growing the success of our crew. Without the great people who have chosen to part of our team, we'd be nothing. So, we try extremely hard to provide long lasting employment opportunities for our staff and have them feel fortunate to have it. How? By providing a mission driven, values based organization where we ask our employees to be part of something more than your typical retail job. Working at Fitzgerald's is being part of a Team. In a nut shell, we want our employees to be Successful to work here and we're more successful to have them! PLANET. All of us walking the earth these days are generally doing more harm than good to Ma Nature. What does this have to do with bikes? Well, our goal here is to help the situation. Sure, the fact is we probably won't save the world here at Fitzgerald's, but isn't it worth a shot? All of our decisions keep in mind our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices. Maybe it will be contagious, who knows!
