Cyclotopia won this years "Best Bike Shop" award by local independant weekly Magazine The Alchemist.
"How can you live in Corvallis without owning a bicycle? Maybe you own a bicycle, but it is in dire need of repairs. Or even still, perhaps you have a working bike, and it could use some minor adjustments or new accessories.
So where do you go? With an abundance of bike shops in our little city (at least six) you certainly have options. How then do you choose? The readers of The Alchemist have helped potentially narrow it down for you, naming Cyclotopia the winner of the Alchy Award for "Best Bike Shop" in 2009. This is the second year Cyclotopia has been nominated and received a significant number of votes, taking the number two spot behind Corvallis Cyclery in 2008.

What about Cyclotopia, a small shop run by Mike Easter on Second Street across from the Toy Factory- makes it stand out? According to Mike, Cyclotopia fills the 'bike as lifestyle' niche in our community, appealing to everyday bikers from college students to commuters. Plus, last August, Mike and crew, with tongue in cheek, revamped the layout of the shop to improve the Feng Shui and the general appeal of the showroom. Another attraction at Cyclotopia: a couch! You can sit on the sofa and 'just kind of hang' while Mike and Neil Ousterhout tune up your cycle. Together, these two have 40-plus years of experience in the local cycling scene.

If you visited the bike shop in 2009, you might have also met employees Tim Anderson, Vernon Huffman, or Craig Ayers-Hale. Or perhaps you had the pleasure of seeing Sydney, Neil's Heartland Humane Society-adopted Australian Shepard. She's a sweetie.
The latest trend in the semi-leisurely realm of cycling personified at Cyclotopia is adding an electric assist to your bike, giving you battery backup to add a little power to your peddling. This could especially be helpful say, if you have to tackle Witham Hill every day.
Mike himself is a cycle tourist. He enjoys soaking in the sights from the seat of a bike. He's even thinking about organizing some cycling tours, maybe featuring a few of his favorite loops around the Oakridge area and the coast range (for the latest information, check the bulletin board in the shop). So put on your brain bucket (helmet), quit dragging your feet and get down to Cyclotopia, 'where cycling and paradise meet.' You might be able to get a sweet deal on a used bike, or check out a brand new one. They'll fix your flat tire while you wait.
