Bike Friendly Businesses

Blackwell Cycle
Now located within the city limits of Sarnia, the crossroads of Blackwell was once a station stop on the Grand Trunk Railway. The rail line has been replaced with a multi-use pathway, and a few metres from this historic right-of-way can be found Blackwell Cycle. Focused on offering quality products along with knowledgeable and objective sales advice and guidance, Blackwell Cycle, and its associated business, Wawanosh Watercraft, are the antithesis of the big box, chain store buying experience. With a history going back to 1992, our business has earned a reputation as the area’s premier cycling and outdoor retailer.

Coffee Lodge Exmouth & Finch
When Coffee Lodge was first established, Leo Stathakis was inspired by trips he had made to small coffee houses in Seattle, Vancouver and Michigan. “I’ve always loved coffee and coffee houses. I would often venture out in Detroit to visit all the old coffee houses. I loved the coffee and the atmosphere, and always thought it would be great to have something like that in Sarnia,” Stathakis explains.
Stathakis opened the first location on Exmouth Street in the spring of 2000. The Duty Free location opened in 2002, then a few years after that they opened on Finch Drive and in Lambton Mall, and they recently expanded into Petrolia. “We started in Sarnia and are proud to be a Lambton County original,” he says.
