Sweet Bikes USA Tandem fat bike

What's a Midwestern bike shop to do in the dead of winter? Why ride a custom-built tandem snow bike, of course, and pass the time playing a vintage Paperboy arcade game.

Sweet Bikes of Canton, Michigan.

Sweet Bikes has been in business since September 2010 and caters to an eclectic mix of customers, from "50+ couples looking to get back into riding" to "high-end riders/racers who want custom," according to owner Seth Kleinglass.

"We offer a bit for everyone in between but seem to really do a lot of work at those extremes, interestingly enough," he said. "The shop philosophy is really customer service driven: be nice to everyone and treat them as you would want if you were a newbie or pro rider. A little time and a smile go a long way to repeat business. We have built a reputation on our friendly 'customer is always right' mentality."

The Fat Mother Trucker custom built tandem fat bike – race proven with 4.8in tires to boot.
