Serving Nantucket since 1931
When Harvey Young moved to Nantucket in 1929, he could fix just about anything. When not at his plumbing job, he fixed bikes for the local kids. There was little money to pay for repairs, so an arrangement was made; he would rent their bikes to the summer visitors until the bill was paid. That was the beginning of Young’s Bicycle Shop.
Young's In The Beginning
In 1931, Harvey Young opened for business as “Harvey A. Young’s Bicycle Shop”. There are many stories to be told, like the time the town election was held in the bike shop, or the large shipment of bikes with no tires or about the winter’s when they flooded the parking lot across the street and sold, rented and sharpened ice skates.
Today’s story starts with a 4th generation Young as owner, and our skilled management team as well as staff all dedicated to helping you experience “The Cycle-logical Way to See Nantucket Island”.
Young's Today
While the island has changed a lot over the years, Young's has continued to be part of the Nantucket community, proudly serving locals and visitors alike. You can still find us at 6 Broad Street renting bikes, and since 1979 we've been renting vehicles as well.
