About Us
Blue Sky Bicycles was established in 1998 by Liz Gormley, a former USA Cycling Coach. Liz raced and coached for many years enjoying success on the road, on the trails and in cyclocross. After working as an independent sales rep and a national sales manager for several bicycle companies, Liz set out to create a retail store that reflected her love and enthusiasm for the sport of cycling.
Today Blue Sky represents the best brands in the cycling industry.
