Magic Cycles Bike Shop: Boone, North Carolina

mike boone ::

Mike Boone boasts many talents: owner of Magic Cycles, professional mechanic, family man, licensed massage therapist, and active cyclist. Mike has lived in Boone since 1984 and has been in the bike industry since 1987. He is constantly seeking new challenges, which includes traveling as a soigner for the Cheerwine professional womens cycling team. Mike stays busy, but he has left the shop in good hands!

michael clement ::

This washed-up downhill racing frat boy shocks spectators and fellow riders with his speed and technical abilities! He's been riding long travel trail bikes, hardtails, and downhill bikes since he was 13 and has been perfecting his mechanic skills almost as long. Clement has been turning heads this summer since he started road riding on a top of the line Orbea Opal. He will be turning even more heads on his flash Giant Reign X now that his custom Industry Nine wheels are mounted up.

Clement is an all star mechanic and co-captain of the Magic Cycles Mechanics A-Team, specializing in suspension work, hydraulic brakes and multi-tasking. Clement has a powerful grip, second only to owner, Mike Boone and his gorilla grip. Next time you need your down hill bike dialed in, or your $5000 road machine tuned up, Clement is the man for the job.

john fennell ::

John Fennell is perhaps the most knowledgeable person on the Magic Cycles staff. He miraculously maintains a mental catalog of bike parts from 1962 to the present as well as a components compatibility calculator. He works on bikes, rides bikes, and lives with bikes.

judy tincher ::

This young lady is a bike commuter, cycle tourist, road rider, and beginner mountain biker. She doesn't own a car, want a car, or need a car. Rain, sleet, snow or sun, Judy will be riding a bike. In addition to the regular commute, Judy enjoys long rides on her days off.

connie hutchins ::

Connie has been with Magic Cycles since the start; she runs the shop behind the scenes. Connie has been road riding since getting hooked when she test rode a Giant carbon bike. She has a long history of mountain biking and her next phase may include commuting on one of those old bikes.

tyler west ::

Tyler has a well stocked arsenal of mountain bikes, including a Santa Cruz V-10, a Giant Reign, and a Morewood hardtail. Tyler is a little shy of road biking; he just bought a Kona Jake the Snake cyclocross bike to get on the road without sacrificing the versatility of getting loose on a trail.

samir bhika ::

Samir's good natured attitude and willingness to try new things landed him a job as the shop rookie. After selling his car and buying a bike, Samir volunteered to run the shop on Sundays and he has rapidly built up his mechanical know-how and inexhaustible riding power.
