Fort Wayne Outfitters, located in the Historic Cass St. Depot

Located in the Historic Cass Street Depot and situated on the St. Mary’s River and the Rivergreenway, Fort Wayne Outfitters was opened in 2007 by avid bicyclist, Tim Hall, who regularly competes in off road cycling. Hall opened Fort Wayne Outfitters because he always thought having a bike shop on the Rivergreenway would be a great concept. He also likes water sports, so he decided to not only rent and sell bikes, but also to rent and sell kayaks, tandems, and canoes.

New to Fort Wayne Outfitters and Bike Depot is a Cyclocross course open every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. for clinic and practice races. The course is outfitted with a sand pit, stairs, barriers, and grass areas. This is a fun, fast-paced course that offers visitors a glimpse of the fastest growing segment of cycling.

An array of bikes to rent or purchase awaits.

Fort Wayne Outfitters and Bike Depot carries road, mountain, hybrid, cruiser and cyclocross bikes, and a wide array of outdoor and fitness apparel as well as footwear. The store also carries compression apparel by 2XU and a wide range of kayaks and canoes for sale from entry level to those for the more experienced boater. Visitors will also find a full service bike repair shop.
