Cartecay Bike Shop  was started in 1989. We are a full-service bicycle shop located in the North Georgia mountains not far from the Tennessee and North Carolina borders. We are surrounded by parks, rivers, hiking trails, challenging road rides and 55 mountain bike trails.  With over 45 years of experience, we make sure that whatever you need – bikes, repair & maintenance, rentals, accessories, group rides, bike fit or trail advice – we have it with guaranteed GREAT SERVICE!

Michael E. Palmeri (Owner) Mike has been racing since age 9; first as a BMX rider, then road race, then mountain biker.  He is a DT Swiss certified master wheeel builder, suspension specialist, and a UBI certified mechanic.  Mike is also an Atlanta City Fireman who cooks a mean calzone.

I just wanted to say thank you from the four of us: Meatloaf, Talk Radio, Plank, and Spellcheck (Mike, Ed, Andy, and Jason). We really appreciated your kindness and hospitality, and we consider you both friends and family. We also thought your friends that were at dinner were really cool too. By the way, dinner was incredible and a lot of fun.
Mike, you are a true example of what Brotherhood is all about, and a true brother.

If you ever find your way down here, please give us a shout. Our houses are your houses.

We had really great weekend up there and it was badly needed. If and when i can swing a new bike, i will make the trip up to your shop and buy one from you. Support the Brotherhood and a really cool bike shop in the mountains.  Your new friends,  Meatloaf, Talk Radio, Plank, and Spellcheck.
