About us

Bicycles are an old concept. Some people claim they date back to Leonardo da Vinci in the 15th Century. In fact, Da Vinci is believed to have sketched the first drawing of a two-wheeled vehicle that included a drive chain and pedals. Surprisingly, it wasn’t until nearly 400 years later that the first bikes were produced and people could actually ride them. And as their popularity grew, bikes became great for transportation as well as recreation.

Around 1923, Joe Fisher began selling bikes in Salt Lake City. But it wasn’t because of their popularity. Instead, he did so out of his own passion for them. Joe was an enthusiast. He had raced bikes and ranked high in national competitions. Actually, Joe began selling bikes as a side product to his lawn mower shop where he and a business partner sold and fixed lawn mowers. Back then, there were only a few brands unlike the many names on the market today. Joe’s bikes sold well and eventually became a major part of his income.

Through the years, many people in Salt Lake bought bikes—even their first bikes—from Joe Fisher. But in 1974, Joe quit the bike business, and his shop, which had become Fishers Cyclery, passed through several owners until an enthusiasts bought it in 1989. The shop sells nine different brands from its location near 21st South and 9th East.

Now, instead of simply picking a color, riders can actually be measured so they can find a bike that fits them. And models range from $300 basics to $5,000 custom-designed wonders. And we sell them all, along with riding gear and racks for transporting them on your car. Plus, Fishers will service all brands of bikes.
