The first installment of my guide to cycling in the Pioneer Valley. I’ve tried to include all the shops that I know. If I missed a shop, let me know! I have not visited all these shops. Shops are listed by county from north to south, then alphabetically by town. When necessary I have indicated the locality within a town (e.g. Florence, Haydenville, Turners Falls). Originally published in August 2014; most recent update September 2015.
