THE STORY OF CONTE’S BIKE SHOP

Conte's Bike Shop has a rich history, and we're proud to be dedicated to serving and improving the many local communities where we now reside. 

Early Years

Charles R. Conte, Sr. opened the first of the Conte’s family-owned bicycle stores in Newport News, Virginia in 1957. Conte, the son of Italian immigrants, was a hard-working machinist at a nearby shipyard when he opened his small, neighborhood bicycle and repair shop. He ran the shop based on his love of bicycles and his vision of providing personal service, and top-quality products that he could personally guarantee. Conte’s became famous for providing customers with a one-of-a-kind buying experience that made its customers not only repeat customers but customers for life.

Expansion Years
By 2002, the corporate headquarters was moved to Virginia Beach. Thereafter, David Conte acquired all of the ownership interests in the company. 

In 2014, David Conte and Wayne Souza joined forces to launch the Conte Bicycle Group.

Headquartered in Virginia, the group now has stores in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Williamsburg, Newport News, Falls Church, Richmond, Arlington and Alexandria (all in Virginia), Navy Yard, Logan Circle, and Cathedral Heights (in Washington, D.C.), and Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Boynton Beach (all in Florida). The Conte Bicycle Group also distributes under its private label - “1957 Brand” ™.

Continuing Success

Conte's Bike Shop is proud to have been selected as a 10-time winner of the coveted “Top 100 Best Bicycle Retailers” in the country designation awarded by the National Bicycle Dealers Association.
