Follow us on Twitter The Shop: For over thirty-five years, Blue Wheel Bicycles has been the perfect fit for Charlottesville’s bike community. In 1972, Blue Wheel opened in UVA’s Corner District. For 33 years, we sold, fixed and chatted about bikes from a little blue building at the end of Elliewood Avenue. In January of 2006, we moved to the historic Frank Ix Building in Downtown C

harlottesville. For us, the Ix Building was the perfect fit, reflecting Charlottesville’s history and boldly forging its future. With over three decades spent on the Corner, we’re excited about spending our next thirty years Downtown. The Staff
Blue Wheel owners Roger Friend and Scott Paisley have been riding bikes around Charlottesville since the late 70s. While they haven’t ridden every single road and trail in Central Virginia, they’ve come pretty close. And they definitely know what you need to ride comfortably and safely here.
