A bike shop was destroyed in an overnight fire in Peninsula, according to authorities.
Fire crews were called to Eddy’s Bike Shop along Main Street just before 1 a.m. Friday, with flames fully engulfing the property, according to Beacon Journal partner News 5 Cleveland.
Authorities spent multiple hours working to get the fire under control. Firefighters are still investigating the cause and origin of the fire, News 5 Cleveland stated.
The shop, which was closed for renovations ahead of the 2025 season, is especially popular among visitors to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, conveniently located just off of a heavily biked stretch of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
The commercial building the bike shop was located at dates back to 1893, according to the Summit County Fiscal Office. It had been Century Cycle since the 1990s before Eddy’s bought it in 2024.
