"Whether it's about rallying around the Greenbelt, working on cycling friendly legislation, teaching kids about bicycle safety, or creating riding opportunities in our area, Perpetual Motion Bicycles, Inc. is incredibly proud of our positive impact around our region and we are humbled and honored to be selected for this incredible award two years in a row. " Allen Griffin, owner and President, said, "Recognition as one of America's Best Bike Shops wouldn't be possible without the wonderful support of our amazing clients in Carroll County all around the greater West Georgia area. For that, we thank YOU!" Shops were asked to fill out a detailed application describing what sets them apart from the average retailer. Mystery shoppers then evaluated the business in more detail by visiting the store, reviewing their website, and contacting the shop by phone to assess the performance from a consumer’s perspective. The program is designed to help consumers find great stores in their areas that will provide the expertise and professionalism they need to get the most benefit from cycling. The recipients of the America’s Best Bike Shops title not only offer great shopping experiences and expert staff, but are also rated on their support for their communities, as well as support for bicycle advocacy both locally and nationally.
