Posted By Megan Holmes

A love for bicycles runs through Tony Tulloh's veins. From a young age, Tulloh spent hours on end helped his grandfather work in his bike shop. Taking what he learned, Tulloh opened a shop of his own in Plant City in 1982. Now, he runs two locations, each one dedicated to getting people biking in their community. Tulloh recently opened his St. Pete location where he buys, sells, rents and repairs bikes of all kinds.
