Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

If you want a quieter, more leisurely ride around town during your visit to Hermann, John Lewis just might have what you’re looking for.

Bike Hermann can get you around town on two wheels. And you can even get some help with peddling up some of Hermann’s more-challenging hills.

The bike shop at 403 Market St. that opened in June is finding there, indeed, is a market for a bike rental operation. Especially one with new models that feature motor-assisted peddling.

Lewis, an educator by profession, decided Hermann was a good place to offer bike rentals. He talked to the folks at Katy Trail Rides in Defiance, a popular stop in St. Charles County on the Katy Trail.
After talking with those folks, Lewis said he was convinced to give a bike rental shop a try, something completely different than what he as used to do.

MoBikeFed comment: Bike Hermann is a great example of the type of trail-oriented business that we are seeing more of across Missouri now that our statewide trail system is really taking shape.

It's also a great example of the type of step communities along a srail can take to help turn their trail and associated tourism into a real economic boon for the community. Find out more about what "Trail Towns" who work hard to invite trail tourism do here:
