January 09, 2019 (Toronto, ON) – Some of you may have already heard through the grapevine that Gary Duke is going to retire near the end of February of this year. This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make for Gary, who has dedicated his life to carrying on his family’s business and legacy. As a result, Duke’s Cycle as you have come to know it will be going through a transition.

We have had an incredible run, 105 years to be exact. Gary and the rest of the Duke’s family and staff are so grateful to all of you who have supported Duke’s Cycle over the years, particularly during our post-fire rebuild. We value the many great and meaningful relationships that we have forged under our roof and out in the community.

While Duke’s Cycle may no longer reside at 625 Queen Street West after February, we are excited to announce that another cycling retailer whose values and mission align very closely with our own will be taking over the space and our core staff members will continue along with them. Many of the same friendly faces that you have come to know will remain here to serve you.

We are not able to disclose more details at this time, but we promise to keep you posted as soon as there is more information to share. In the meantime, our liquidation sale is happening now until the end of February. Please call or visit the shop for details.

Our sincerest thanks,

Gary Duke and the Duke’s Cycle Team

Pedal Magazine joins the cycling community in congratulating Gary Duke and family and the Duke’s Cycle team for an incredible run and amazing legacy and wish everyone the very best on the road ahead.
