About Joe's
A Tallahassee Original Since 1986
Welcome to Joe’s Bike Shop, a cornerstone of the North Florida cycling community for 40 years. Located on Lake Ella, in Tallahassee, FL, we’re a no-bs hub for commuters, students, and trail enthusiasts.
Founded in 1986 by Joe Mezzina, the shop was built on a simple, "old-school" philosophy: provide high-quality service, reliable gear, and honest advice to all levels of bike enthusiasts. Joe’s vision was to create a place where everyone—from an FSU student needing a quick flat fix to a seasoned roadie—would feel at home.
In February 2026, exactly 40 years after the first bike rolled out the door, Joe’s Bike Shop entered a new era. Joe Mezzina has officially passed the handlebars to Ed and Susannah Miller. This transition was a natural choice decades in the making. Ed has been a fixture at the shop on and off for 30 years, and Joe hand-picked him to carry the legacy forward for one specific reason: Ed is a bike magician.
The spirit of the shop remains exactly the same. We are committed to keeping Joe’s going in the traditional spirit set out four decades ago. Stop by the shop on North Monroe—we’re keeping the wheels turning.
