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.
