Story

Our Story:

In 1975, Jack Farina opened his own store, Farina Cycles. The building for the store was originally a small auto repair and tire shop. He began by selling bicycles. This was before the start of the “10-Speed Bike” craze of the late seventies. Due to the seasonality of bicycle sales, Jack began selling snowthrowers in the winter to help pay the bills and to make ends meet.


Over time, Jack and his wife had five children. As the children grew, they were able to help out after school at the store. The children were active in both road racing and BMX racing and won the first road race they ever competed in! Both businesses grew as a result of his reputation for unbeatable service, selection and honest prices.

In 1982, a second floor was added to the building. This would allow the entire first floor to be used for power equipment, which now included snowthrowers, lawnmowers, chainsaws etc. (Power Equipment Home) The new 3200 square foot second floor showroom would be totally dedicated to bicycles, apparel and accessories. (Bicycle Center Home)



Over the past 35 years, Farina’s has evolved from a one-man operation to a premier retail store. Although product selection, layouts and size of the staff have changed over the years, some things have not. Farina’s remains family owned. Jack and three of his children are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the store.

My family travels from the next town over to shop at Farina's, passing other bike shops on the way, .Among us we have purchased three bikes, one lawn mower and one snow blower from Farina's. The service is excellent, the prices are very reasonable and the staff are extremely knowledgeable about everything they sell. They never rush you and spend time to make sure you understand what you're getting and how to use it. Highly, highly recommended!

I purchased my new Marin bike from Farina's and I really love the bike, love the way the accessories were installed, the speed at which the transaction happened and the personal attention I was given during the transaction. Never did I feel like I was being sold to. Never did I feel the staff was pushy or in a rush. They had good knowledge of Marin bikes and bikes in general. The showroom is on the second floor but that wasn't any impediment to taking a test ride and it's a very well equipped showroom with lots of models and accessories to choose from. Very professional business.

Farina's has excellent service - I picked up my new bike last Saturday and spoke with the owner - very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly. He really took the time to go over the bike with me and reminded me that I'll be able to get a 90 day tune-up. I'll definitely be back and will be sure to buy some accessories, etc. I'll even start at Farina's next time I need a new bike (N+1, right?!?)

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Went in to get one bicycle model which they didn't have anymore, and came out with another similar one. The salesperson took the time to walk me through the options. Very pleased with the new bike!

I've been a Farina's customer for years for bikes and snowblowers (both new and repairs). Great customer service. They know what they're doing, and have good prices.
