Alirio "Al" Lizarazo Memorial Ride

On Saturday, May 16th, friends, family, and members of the cycling community are invited to gather for a Memorial Ride honoring Al Lizarazo and his lasting impact on cycling in Charlotte. Al opened the Bike Gallery in 1974 and spent decades building not only a successful bicycle shop, but also a strong and welcoming cycling community.

I’m sad to inform you of the passing of my father, founder of the Bike Gallery. Many of you who know him well. Instilled in his sons the passion for all things cycling
Please be patient as Andres and Roland get through this difficult time
Warmest regards
