A Los Angeles Times story from 1987 put annual sales for Moore’s former store at $5 million and described it as one of the largest bicycle retailers in the nation. Moore is no stranger to the cycling industry.īefore moving to Eugene, he owned Two Wheel Transit Authority in Huntington Beach, Calif., from 1976 to 1990. “All those are obstacles for people, and what our store is about is removing those obstacles.” “There are a lot of things that can stand in the way (of riding a bike) - weather, carrying a load, wearing the wrong clothes,” he says. “The focus of the whole store is on all the accessories and parts and clothing and trailers - all the bits and pieces, small and large - that one would need to make using your bike work well,” Moore says. To that end, he’s opened a new bike shop in south Eugene: Arriving by Bike, which he refers to as an “urban cycling outfitter.” It is a full bicycle repair shop with a range of cycling accessories, and will soon add bike-friendly clothing and a few lines of transportation-oriented bicycles to its inventory. In more ways than one, Paul Moore is Arriving by Bike.īicycling is Moore’s primary mode of transportation, and he says he’d like to help others embrace two-wheeling as an acceptable, all-occasion means of getting around town.
