“Spoke-N-Sport is a complete service bike and ski shop,” said owner Peter Oien. “We offer custom bike fitting, complete bike service, and more during the summer.”
The shop has been operating since 1988, and today hosts two locations in its home city, Sioux Falls.
“Our purpose has been the same since day one: to provide quality bikes for the people of Sioux Falls and the surrounding area for a fair price,” stated Oien.
Whether the customer is a novice or a first-time cyclist, the supportive staff is there to find the perfect bike for their needs.
Recently, the shop added winter sports, providing alpine and nordic ski products and a complete snowboard lineup. In addition to bikes and skis, Spoke-N-Sport offers a full range of biking and winter sports accessories.
“We also have an awesome range of disc golf products at our southside location,” noted Oien.

1. WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO ACCESSORY YOU RECOMMEND FOR BIKE RIDERS?
One accessory that’s often overlooked is a quality air pump. Proper tire inflation is important for a good bike ride, so having a pump that makes checking the amount of air in your tire easy is a lifesaver.
2. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE FIRST-TIME CUSTOMERS?
Stop in to see what we’re all about. There are no dumb questions, and we’re happy to help with whatever we can. There’s never a better time than now to get out and start riding.
3. WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE SPOT TO GO BIKE RIDING?
Currently, I love the Falls Area Single Track trails at Leaders Park. They’re tucked deep in the woods, and it feels like a different world.
FACT:
Oien is the fourth owner of Spoke-N-Sport. He purchased the business in August 2023 after working there since 2009.
4. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITIES TO PARTAKE IN DURING SUMMER?
Aside from bike riding, I enjoy playing in the Dakota Alliance Soccer adult leagues.
5. WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
Most likely working in my garden. My wife and I both enjoy working with plants, and currently we’re converting most of our yard to native perennials and grasses.
