Welcome
Harvey A. Young started Young’s Bicycle Shop from the backyard of his home on Nantucket in 1931. The store moved to lower Broad Street in the early 1930s and to our present location in 1938. Twenty years later his son, Roger A. Young took over the family business. Roger continued to provide quality bikes with exceptional customer service and a finely honed sense of humor.
By the early 1980’s when Roger’s sons Robert A. Young and Stephen A Young took the reins they added car and 4x4 rentals as an option.
Now, their brother, Harvey S. Young, represents the third generation and is proudly operating what has become an island tradition. For 87 years Youngs have been running Young’s Bicycle Shop.
Please stop by and experience why Young’s Bicycle Shop is “The Cycle-Logical Way to See Nantucket Island.”

Things
To Do!
No visit to Nantucket is complete without a stop at its iconic lighthouses and a bike ride through its charming cobblestone streets. And then there are the island's many beaches like Jetties (great for families) and Surfside (great for watersports). When you're not soaking up the rays on the shoreline, get a history lesson at the Whaling Museum. And while you're inland, don't forget to explore hidden gems like Cisco Brewers for a pleasant, sand-free afternoon
Brant Point Light House
Nantucket's iconic Brant Point Light is said to be the country's second oldest lighthouse by some aficionados. While this superlative isn't completely true — the current tower dates back to 1901, but the station has hosted a lighthouse since 1746 — the attraction remains a popular spot to view Nantucket Town's harbor.
Go to the Beach!
There are so many beaches on this little island, making it difficult to pick just one for your perfect summer day. College kids head to Nobadeer, families with young ones prefer Children's Beach, and that's just the beginning. There's a patch of sand for every mood, style, and situation.
Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge
Located at the northern point of Nantucket, the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge provides a protected habitat for hundreds of osprey and other rare sea birds. Other activities include surf-fishing, hiking and checking out the Great Point Lighthouse, but according to recent visitors, off-roading along the 16 miles of trails is probably the most popular activity on the refuge.
Eat & Drink Like a Local
Almost every country, or even city, is known for a particular drink or spirit, whether its sake in Japan, whisky in Scotland or Cisco Brewery in Nantucket.

- Cisco Brewery
