Welcome to Highlight My Town. I'm Dan Edson with EXP Realty, and founder of Highlight My Town. We recently had the awesome opportunity to highlight Dave's Bike Shop in Raymore, Missouri, and speak with the owner David Forster. We found out that Dave's Bike shop is not your typical Kansas City bike shop. What makes Dave's Bike Shop unique, you ask? Well, Dave has spent a lot of time in the bike industry over the years, and really wanted to do something different and more community-based.
"We didn't want it to feel like the elitist or unreachable feel that a lot of people get them are avid cyclists. So when you come in, it's a very different routine for us. Very family room kind of feel, very community-based. Anyone is welcome and there are no dumb questions. We love helping people." Dave said.
A Local Bike Shop About Community
Dave's Bike Shop is all about community. As a bike shop, they do a lot in the local community. It all starts right at their bike shop. The door is always open as long as the shop is open. They invite the community to come in and hang out. To them, it's not all about shopping and service. Dave's bike shop genuinely cares about the community.
"We love hanging out and talking about life and then inviting people out to our enchilada ride that we do on a weekly basis from basically March through October when the weather is allowing and daylight allows. And that is a multi-group ride that has as slow and short as you need it to be to a really casual ride, to a fast, longer ride for the guys that are training hard and everything. We also do kids' safety rodeos, are cranking in the spring event that highlights all facets of bikes and community." Dave says.
A Bike Shop With A Bigger Purpose
It was clear to us that Dave's Bike Shop is a bike shop with bigger purpose. When interviewing Dave, we really genuinely understood and caught the the purpose behind Dave's Bike Shop. It's bigger then just a bike shop, its about helping people.
"So like we said, we're all about community. We love helping people overcome obstacles in life. We feel bikes are a great vehicle for anybody willing to reach a freedom that they are seeking in their lives. So it's fitness and physical goals, a lot of people envision already or whether its mental wellness, stress relief, anxiety relief, and anything in between really is. Bikes are a great way to get the fresh air, endorphins of exercise, community-based friendships, relationships. And so we really focus on building that side of our community to help people be happy. In the freedom aspect of really what we envision and dream about on a daily basis is human trafficking is an issue in our country, as well as domestic violence and mental illness, all of those things. So freedom to us looks like somebody being able to live their life free from whatever the bondage or struggle is that they are working through. And so we work as tirelessly as we can to help promote that." Dave said.

Absolutely. I was a pretty young man, I think I was 11 or 12 when she first opened and just the change in Raymore has been outrageous. It was just a little farming town, not a lot of people, just seeing what it's growing into now is pretty incredible. The people, the new businesses and all that. A lot of change, a lot of good, a lot of bad, but over the years, just the people, the friendships we've made, that the people that come in are regulars and we get a lot of new people so we can make some new contacts and new friends and whatnot so that's probably been the best part about all these years.

You have your loyal customers and then you probably have their kids and generations of customers coming in now since you've been here for so long.
