Long anticipated by Fort Worth area cyclists, Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop is set for a grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 3 at The Trailhead at Clearfork.

The 13,000-square-foot location at 4801 Edwards Ranch Road is directly adjacent to the Trinity Trails hike-and-bike system. The original Austin location was founded in 2008 and has become a destination for cyclists – professional and amateur.

The Fort Worth Mellow Johnny’s will include a showroom of road, mountain, hybrid and kids bikes, professional service, accessories, and repair; plus cycling, fitness, and apparel.

Mellow Johnny’s, which was founded in 2008 in Austin, will offer bicycle sales, service, rentals, training, rides, and clinics.
