Trail Friendly Business Spotlight: Genesis Bicycles D&L

Capable on and off road, it was a gentle step away from our original Vapour and towards a bike that was intended to go further… but we never imagined quite how much further. ©2024 Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Area All Rights Reserved. The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to connect people to the region’s industrial heritage, health and wellness, nature and environment, and economic development. The store advertises a retirement sale starting Thursday, April 1. The store website says the store will close from May 4 to May 7 as it transitions for Trek’s ownership.

We checked with Action Wheels, an unrelated bike shop in Bethlehem, Pa. They hadn’t received any Walmart calls, so Woodworth’s success at SEO seems to be working against her. Hinchcliff and team tried to think of ways to take advantage of the situation.

“Genesis has a 32-inch wheel model, we got a lot of calls for tubes and tires that size,” remembered Hinchcliff. “We considered buying 32-inch rubber and just selling and shipping them out.” Genesis cycles are perfect for anyone looking for a hybrid of on and off-road that is comfortable on all day journeys on tarmac or gravel.

“They were sympathetic and told me to write a letter to company headquarters, which I haven’t done yet.” “Walmart tells consumers with product issues to contact the manufacturer directly,” Hinchcliff said. “When you Google Genesis Bicycles, we’re the first search result to come up, unfortunately.” At the time, we weren’t sure if people would get it, so we hedged slightly, labelling it as a cross bike in the truest sense of the word. Our bikes will take you to those places, fulfill your curiosities and make you remember why going for a ride is one of life’s most brilliant experiences.

Giant is the largest manufacturer of quality bicycles in the world. What they owned in “build quality” they lacked in brand connectivity. Genesis was hired to help create a brand visual language to help tie the products into a cohesive whole in the global marketplace.

Credited with creating the first-ever gravel bike, genesis mountain bike are designed to take you on adventure — off-road, on-road, or wherever your heart desires. Genesis Bikes are a British cycling brand with a heritage of building the kind of bikes that they want to ride themselves. The kind of bikes that make you dream of your next adventure no matter the size. Since 2001 Genesis Bikes have had an eye for the finer details, utilising the very best materials and always heading in their own direction. Genesis build bikes that are simply built to go everywhere with you and do a bit of everything. Take your pick from their range of iconic builds such as the Croix De Fer, Fugio, CDA, Vapour, Datum & more.

Finding the center of the brand design was based on our uncovering the “truth in materials” position. Genesis created the personalities and graphics for bikes built for the world’s diverse cultures. You can see our work for Giant in the grueling Tour de France, on Tokyo commuter streets, and in a garage much like your own. Specialising in gravel, road, touring and mountain bikes made from steel, titanium and aluminium, these are bikes that encourage you to explore the paths and trails less travelled.

Genesis is the upmarket and more performance oriented partner brand of Ridgeback. They are best known for their UK specific, and progressive, often experimental bike designs with very high specification. As with Ridgeback, ‘UK specific’ means these bikes are made for our particular cycling conditions, instead of according to an international one-size-fits-all formula. Genesis are especially known for leading the welcome revival of steel framed bikes across several categories including 29ers, cross, road and track bikes.

Trek will fill all orders placed before it takes over as store owner. Bike service must be completed before Trek takes over, the site says. Dear Community,We are excited to announce the purchase of our store by Trek Bicycle.

We spoke to Tomias Hinchcliff, former owner of Genesis Bicycles in Easton, Pa. (now a Trek-owned shop) and Patty Woodworth, co-owner of Action Wheels in Deptford, N.J., about how they cope with these aggravations.
