Great Northern Bicycle Company grew out of Island Park Cycles, a shop Tom Smith started in 1987, and now operates from the Great Northern Depot in downtown Fargo, a former train station that gives the store its name. The shop sells Specialized electric bikes, including Turbo models like the Como, alongside road, mountain, and fat bikes. Its service page states that staff are fully trained to service the electrical components of the e-bikes it sells, and the shop advertises a two-day turnaround on service work. Hours run Monday through Thursday from ten to eight, with Friday and Saturday shifts rounding out the week. The depot setting adds character to the visit, with an espresso offering noted on the floor. For Fargo riders, the combination of a real e-bike lineup, trained electrical-service staff, and quick turnaround makes it a central option for both buying and maintaining pedal-assist bikes. The downtown depot location keeps the shop central for Fargo commuters and weekend riders alike.
