Specialties
We are a family owned and operated bicycle shop that has been serving Lake County and the Round Lake Area since 1978.
We specialize in outfitting the family rider. From the 2 year old’s first bicycle to the older rider who might have been an avid cyclist once upon a time and wants to get back into it but might need a different kind of bike than before. Or the special needs rider that can make a «regular» bike work but might need some help figuring out adaptations that might be necessary. Or the mom who is finding time for herself now and is training for her first triathlon but has a budget and isn’t sure if she will do one triathlon or a hundred.
We pride ourselves on being conservative and practical in our sales approach and spending time with the customer to make sure the bicycle they choose will accomodate them today, tomorrow and years into the future.

Meet the Business Owner
Bob H.
Business Owner
Even before getting disenchanted with corporate america as a design engineer, Bob spent was little spare time he had with three daughters collecting old bicycles and reworking them for sale in front of the family home on Route 45 in Mundelien. Which led to him opening a small bicycle sales and repair shop with his best friend and co worker in Gary’s garage in Lake Zurich. After his third corporate stint and subsequent lay off Bob decided to move the shop to Round Lake so that his wife could help run it and after another year of corporate turmoil, decided to run the store full time and buy out his partner and best friend Gary. To this day they are still best friends.
Thus the full time B & G was born.
