Ride On

Ride On pairs electric-bike shopping and mechanical support with organized cycling activities on Wooster's historic downtown square. Owners Bill and Jackie Buckwalter and their team walk new riders through fit and selection, setting up several bikes for test rides and making adjustments until the right match is found.

The sales floor stocks road, gravel, mountain, cruiser, and electric bikes from Giant, Electra, Cannondale, Salsa, and Allied, and the shop organizes group rides that take local cyclists out to nearby trails such as Vulture's Knob. Service work covers routine repairs and adjustments; one visitor whose flat tire stranded him on the way home from work was patched up and rolling again the same day.

The staff also adapts equipment for riders with special needs, from trikes to commuters. Electric bikes are part of the lineup, with test rides available on models such as the Giant Trance X Advanced E+ mountain e-bike. Hours are Monday through Friday, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturday, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm; the shop is closed on Sundays. Call (330) 345-2453 or visit rideonwooster.com for details.
