The Bicycle Hub of Marlboro

I'm the owner of the Bicycle Hub of Marlboro, located in Marlboro, New Jersey. Since 1973, I have been involved with two-wheeled sports, both Motocross and Enduro riding. During the early 1980s, I was the Manager/Co-Owner of The Peddler Bicycle Shop in Long Branch. It was then that I continued my involvement in cycling sports by organizing BMX races. My passion for bicycles is ever present in the Bicycle Hub of Marlboro; making it the perfect shop for the cycling enthusiast like myself.

The NJ Cycling Conservation Club was put together in a ride home in Wally's van after a really good Mt. Bike ride. Gretchen Tupy and Wally were brainstorming on how NJ needed an organized state effort to "conserve cycling" through trail maintenance and building. Wally said "If we don't do something soon, people will try to label the mt. bike as an intrusion into the parks and forests. We should name it after the Michigan Cycling Conservation Club that does trail work to keep the dirt bike trails open in Michigan, that way it will sound like we are trying to conserve the woods, when,in fact, we are also trying to conserve mt. biking." Gretchen said that sounded good and the first "pre-JORBA" state organization was born.
