ABOUT US

Nicollet Bike Shop has been serving the Greater Mankato cycling community for over 45 years. The shop got its name (previously Nicollet South Bike Shop) from it's original rural location 3 miles south of the town of Nicollet, MN. Shop owners Justin and Jenna Rinehart moved the shop from it's rural location to downtown Mankato in the fall of 2011.
Nicollet Bike is heavily involved in our local community. You can find us at events such as The Mankato River Ramble Ride, Pedal Past Poverty, The North Mankato Triathlon, Lake Crystal Duathlon, Mount Kato Mountain Bike race, Helmet Fairs and many other community events.
