After growing up in the lush forests of Astoria Oregon, John Ford traveled to the Rogue Valley to begin his bicycle career by attending United Bicycle Institute. After gaining experience at prominent cycle shops in the valley he then opened Bear Creek Bicycle in 1999 with a focus on mountain bikes, family bikes, and town bikes, providing Southern Oregon with a better bicycle retail experience.
Bear Creek Bicycle is located between the banks of Bear Creek and the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains, and just a mile from downtown Ashland Oregon. Ashland serves as a prime location for all types or riding. The rural farm and mountains roads pave the way for enjoyable and challenging rides. A 20+ mile paved bike path winds along Bear Creek and is perfect for a relaxing ride with the family, bike bird watching, identifying dragonflies, or easily commuting to work. Trail riding from any part of Ashland is easy and convenient. Many miles of well built and fun singletrack, dirt roads, and magnificent forests can be reached within minutes. Post-ride Ashland provides thirst quenching brews, wide variety of grub, and the fabulous plays of Shakespeare.
