The "Original" Bike Surgeon was founded in 1974 by Mark P. Robinson and is still in operation in Carbondale, run by Pat and Tricia Work. In 2009, Jon Greenstreet and Chris Norrington owners of The Bike Surgeon, Inc. made the decision to expand the business into the Metro-East area. With the help Tom Jackson (an O'Fallon, IL resident and top regional triathlete), a team was created that brought the second Bike Surgeon location to life in Shiloh, Illinois in July of 2009. Bike Surgeon is owned by a group of friends with a passion for the sport of cycling and a desire to provide an unforgettable bike shop experience.
