What’s next for Eddy’s Bike shop after devastating February fire?
It’s been eight months since a fire destroyed Eddy’s Bike Shop in Peninsula. By mid-April, they opened a temporary location for bike rentals right across from the trail.

He says the old site will remain empty — turned into green space due to regulations — but the future of the shop looks brighter every day. Ruggles says he hopes to know soon whether Eddy’s Bike Shop can make its Peninsula location permanent — keeping riders right where they love to be, near the trail.
