ABOUT: SLIPPING GEARS BANGOR

Established in 1999, Slipping Gears Cycling was the brainchild of Jason Neal. He brought together a group of cycling enthusiasts to form a local cycling team. Corey Odermann started his bike shop career in 2002. Acquaintances for 20 years, becoming good friends along the way, Jason and Corey talked about a dream and a business was born. Opening our doors in April of 2016, Slipping Gears Cycling provides bicycle sales and bicycle service for all types of bikes. Fast forward to Spring of 2018 and it was apparent that another employee was necessary. Eric Bronson stepped up and joined the team! Jump ahead to late 2021 and Matt Cote joined our staff to help us with our continued growth. From full suspension mountain bikes to road bikes and everything in between, Slipping Gears does it all!
