Zane’s Cycles

Environmental stewardship has been a priority since 1981 when Zane’s Cycles first opened its doors. In 2008, Zane’s Cycles designed and built a new 15,000 square-foot bicycle shop with as many climate friendly components as possible. Environmental impacts were considered in all decisions, including the quality and integrity of the building envelop, dual flush toilets, the type and quality of the trees used in the landscaping. Solar thermal, solar PV, a windmill, produce 60% of the shops energy needs.
