Northstar Bikes Information

Nick takes pride helping people find their perfect bike and stocking the store with new innovative products. He is always open to bringing in anything a customer might want to touch and feel before they buy. Coming from the Utica area, his first job in the industry was at Dick Sonnes bike shop at the age of 13. Working there fostered his dream of one day owning his own shop. There, he established his roots in road cycling, became a five year rider of the Ride for Missing Children, and a finished a full Ironman Triathlon. After high school he attended and obtained a B.S. at the University at Buffalo and joined the Northstar Team. He also really enjoys thru-hiking and winter camping and climbing. When hes not at the shop you can find him up in the High Peaks region of the ADK. Hayden began his career in the bicycle industry a short eight years ago when he walked into Northstar Bikes looking for a job, right out of high school. With a Bachelors degree in Technical Theatre and Design from SUNY at Buffalo, he brings the technical know-how to the Northstar name. From building the very walls you see in the shop to completing the most complex of service challenges in the bike world, he thrives in the face of a challenge. Hayden loves to mountain bike the summer away, and float the winter through on his snowboard. A gearhead through and through, hes always down to have a conversation about the latest and greatest tech! Whether youre a fan of the coffee, the suspension fork, the peak, the fish, or medieval weapons, Pike is named after all of them. Hes half Australian Shepherd, half English Shepherd, and full of stoke all the time. If youre looking for a very excited pup to bring up your day, get ready! Hes at the door waiting for you with a big ol smile.
