Jon and Hope Avery
have owned Open Air Bicycles since 1983. We have been an integral
part of the community for the last 23 years, whether it is to
organize rides or races, help our schools, or even perform safety
checks for your local Boy/Girl Scout troop.
Our relationships
with the industry's top suppliers allow us to carry the best
products at honest prices, and we back up our products with
outstanding service. No, we don't offer "Lifetime Free Tune-ups"
that turn out to be a way to charge you for stuff you don't need...
Just good, solid old-fashioned service. Come on in and experience an
honest, friendly bike shop- somewhere you can call home!!!

Our Staff:
Jon Avery
Jon Avery, 48, owner of OPEN AIR BICYCLES for 23 years, has established one of the
premier bike shops in the Tri-counties. He was raised in Rhode Island and obtained a
Bachelors degree in engineering at Northeastern University. Jon previously
worked as a Staff Scientist at EIC Laboratories (battery research) and plant
manager at Bimetallix, Inc (machine shop). He moved out to Ventura in 1983
with the sole intention of opening up a bike shop and the rest is history...
Jon is happily married to his wife Hope and they have a
teenage daughter, Hadley. Although Jon
seems to spend most of his time at the bike shop, he has many hobbies including
cycling, surfing, and sailing (he served in 2003 as Commodore of Ventura Yacht
Club). Jon rides a Trek 5900 road bike and a Greg
Diamond touring bike.
Mark Knoeller
We are happy to welcome Mark for his 4th full year here at OAB. Besides being one of
the most cheerful, friendliest guys you're likely to run across, he KNOWS HIS
STUFF!! Mark has been in the industry for 9 years, starting in Virginia and most
recently at Montrose Cycles. As a long time bicycle commuter (logging 600 miles
in a good month and over 5000 miles/year) and an occasional mountain bike racer,
he is an exceptionally qualified bike geek. In general he loves cycling and
working on bikes. Mark is the proud owner of a Serotta Concours Ti road bike,
a Specialized S-Works FSR mountain bike, and a totally tricked out One-on-One
fixie (at least those are the ones that are in one piece right now!!). Sorry
girls- Mark's a newlywed, and on his days off he and Dawn can be found gettin'
down and dirty rock-climbing, biking, camping, or hiking; generally having fun
in the outdoors..
