Re-launching Nielsen’s Bicycles
IN THE HEART OF MUSKOKA, HOME TO SOME OF CANADA’S FINEST NATURE & COTTAGE ESCAPES, THERE LIES A TOWN CALLED BRACEBRIDGE.
It’s a place you can come to create, to taste & to truly live. There’s nothing quite like it.
Which is why I’m so excited to bring you a special 6 episode series in partnership with this magical little town.
I’ll be sitting down with local shop owners, restaurateurs, visionary entrepreneurs, artists … & above all… kind hearted individuals who love sharing a little piece of the town they live in.
Bracebridge, Ontario is the perfect place to escape for adventure, for relaxation & to live out your OWN most visionary life.
Be sure to stay in the loop with what’s going on at @visitthebridge on Instagram.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Charlotte & Matt Nielsen, the power duo behind a one of a kind bike shop located in the heart of Bracebridge, Ontario.
Nielsen’s is a full service bike shop that was originally started by Matt’s Father, but in 2012 the shop closed indefinitely when his father Kurt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Matt and Charlotte lived on the West Coast of Canada at the time, so they were not thinking about taking it over.
Fast forward a few years, Charlotte was driving by the original locations of Nielsen’s Bicycles & she saw a “For Lease” sign hanging. She called Matt, immediately!
The rest was history…
Even though the 2 of them felt ill-prepared to dive into entrepreneurship, they decided to take the leap!
These 2 are extremely humble, down-to-earth and speak truthfully about what it’s been like to re-launch the shop.
I know that so many of you will resonate with their realistic approach to managing a business and embracing the role of lifelong learners.
