Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop

A fixture at Eighth and Massachusetts in downtown Lawrence, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop combines bicycles with a broader outdoor retail business. The store at 804 Massachusetts Street, 66044, sells bicycles — including electric models — as well as camping, hiking, climbing, and paddling gear, with Specialized and Salsa among the bike brands on the floor. Its workshop handles repairs and maintenance, from flat fixes to wheel truing and brake work, with itemized estimates.

The shop has been recognized by a national bike-shop awards program and voted a local favorite in reader polls, making it a downtown anchor for riders and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Listed hours are Tuesday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Mondays; the phone is (785) 843-5000 and the site is sunfloweroutdoorandbike.com. The cafe serves coffee, food, and drinks, and the space hosts community rides and events. Its downtown location includes an on-site café, giving visiting cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts another reason to stop in while shopping or arranging repairs.
