Sunshine Cycle Shop was opened in Clemson, SC by Skip Snow in 1976. This shop was opened in Greenville in 1981, and the Clemson shop was sold to Skip's partner.

Since coming to Greenville, Sunshine Cycle Shop has been a major force in the tremendous growth of Greenville's cycling community. The shop's reputation for unparalleled customer service has been our major asset.

We've come to realize that our success depends not only on the quality of the products we sell, but also on the quality of the relationships we build with our customers.

In August of 1996, I purchased the shop from Skip, and today I feel that commitment is more important than ever. You'll find that commitment when you deal with anyone on our staff. We're all dedicated, active cycling enthusiasts, and we're happy to be able to share our knowledge and enthusiasm with you. Come in and see for yourself!

Service Plan
When you purchase a new bike from Sunshine Cycle Shop, you'll not only get a great bicycle. You also get service support from the best service department in the area.

Your new bike comes with a free 30 day tune up, at which time the bike gets a thorough going over and all normal break-in concerns (cable stretch, housing compression, bearing looseness, etc,) will be addressed. After that, just bring it in as needed, because all adjustments are free for the original owner as long as you own the bike. That's right....there's never any charge for brake adjustments, gear adjustments, bearing adjustments and routine wheel truing. This service plan obviously doesn't cover normal wear & tear (worn out tires, crash damage, etc.).

Also, when you buy your bike, and for 30 days after, you get a 15% discount on any parts and accessories you purchase during that period.

A release form must be signed by the rider (18 years old or older), and a $200.00 damage deposit made on a major credit card (Visa/MC/Disc). The damage deposit will be credited back to the card on return of the bike.

Normal wear and tear such as scratches, flats, chain breaks etc. will not be charged to the damage deposit, only major damage caused by crashes or abuse. The rental fee will be credited to any bicycle purchased within two weeks following the rental.
