Established in 2010 Cycling advocates Tony and Jodi opened the 2nd Street Bike Stop Cafe in 2010 to provide St. Charles and the metro St. Louis area with a sustainable bicycle shop alternative. Their mission was to provide customer,s of all walks of life, reasonably priced bicycles, service and healthy foods. Promoting alternative transportation and healthy lifestyles, they set the example in St. Charles by recycling & composting over 95% of their waste. In the spring, they will be growing many of their vegetables. Giving back is an important part of their mission. Each year the Bike Stop Cafe refurbishes and donates bikes to Jodi's students, who participate in the many outdoor adventures they host each month.
