We fully support the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition, the International Mountain Bicycling Association, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, and USA Cycling.
History:
Over twenty years ago Rocktown owner, Ken Bell, graduated from JMU and began working as a freelance designer. After a few years in Northern Virginia, he could no longer resist the Valley’s magnetic pull. Ken moved back to Harrisonburg and opened TradeshowDirect, which has grown steadily over the last 25 years.
In 2004, Ken partnered with his friend Jason Berry to launch Gripped Films. Together, the two produced their first award-wining documentary, Off Road To Athens, which followed 8 Olympic cycling hopefuls as they raced for selection all over the world. After producing two more documentaries about cycling, 24 Solo and Chasing Legends, Ken began to pursue his childhood dream of opening a bike shop. With his oldest son riding for the US Mountain Bike national team, and having helped launch the Virginia High School Mountain Bike Team while also promoting mountain bike and cyclocross races, the time to open Rocktown Bicycles seemed just right.
