Our philosophy
We believe that we are the heart and soul of Tuscaloosa’s cycling community. Founded in 2006, VeloCity Cycles has been proudly serving all types of cyclists, including new and veteran riders, road and mountain aficionados, and recreation and transportation cyclists.
Co-owner’s, Adam Lilly and Morgan Hunt, took their passion for bikes and poured it into VeloCity to create an environment where all could be welcome into the cycling community. They take their love of cycling and pour it into Tuscaloosa’s community. We don't just spend our time in the shop servicing and selling bikes, though that's where you can find us much of the time. We thoroughly believe in contributing to our community by volunteering time and resources into programs that are building confidence and skills in the next generation of riders, like Little Bellas and the Tuscaloosa Mountain Flyers. We personally find community in the West Alabama Mountain Biking Association and the Druid City Bike Club, and we love supporting those clubs and their events.
