Cycle shop pedals its wares at new location
Greater Vernon’s legacy bike shop is on the move, but it is just down the road from its old location.
Sun Country Cycle’s roots in Vernon go back as early as 1944 when it started as Vernon Lock and Cycle.
The Kalamalka Lake Road location in the Blue Horizon Centre opened its doors in 1984, and the current owner, Ricardo Smith, bought the business in 2012.
Last year, an opportunity to move to the new “Coldstream Station” at the start of the Okanagan Rail Trail was taken and construction on a new larger purpose-built shop at 16500 Kalamalka Road began.
