Dixon Cycle
From the garage to the community: Dixon Cycle’s journey
What began as a small bicycle repair business in a family garage has grown into a thriving bike shop that has become part of the community of Caledonia.
Dixon Cycle's journey began 18 years ago when Brian Dixon started repairing bicycles for local residents while working full-time. Through hard work, word-of-mouth referrals, and the support of the community, the business steadily grew from a passion project into something much larger.
Five years ago, Brian and his wife, Celina, took a leap of faith by opening Dixon Cycle's storefront in Caledonia during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting with very little inventory, they worked together to build a welcoming space where cyclists of all ages could find quality bicycles, expert repairs, accessories, and trusted advice. Their shared commitment, combined with the loyalty of their customers, has helped the business continue to grow and serve Caledonia and the surrounding area.
Today, Brian and Celina operate Dixon Cycle as a family business. Brian brings more than 30 years of industry experience, while Celina plays an equally important role in the day-to-day operations, customer service, and continued growth of the shop. Together, they have created a business known not only for quality products and repairs, but also for friendly, personalized service. In addition to bicycle sales and professional repairs, Dixon Cycle offers accessories and roadside repair and maintenance services, helping keep residents and visitors riding safely throughout the community.
For Brian and Celina, success has always been measured by more than business growth. Community has been at the heart of everything they do. Over the years, they have built lasting relationships with customers, supported local initiatives, and volunteered on several community committees that help strengthen and connect with the community they call home.
Their investment in Caledonia reflects their belief in supporting local. By growing their business in the heart of the community, they have contributed to providing a valuable service that promotes active transportation, recreation, and healthy living.
Today, Dixon Cycle continues to welcome longtime customers and first-time visitors with the same dedication, expertise, and personal service that have defined the business from the beginning. Brian and Celina's story is a testament to the impact of local entrepreneurship, partnership, and the power of community support in helping small businesses thrive.
