ANN ARBOR, MI — Bikers will soon lose a longtime Ann Arbor staple.

Campus Student Bike Shop, 336 Maynard St., will shut its doors next weekend - weather permitting - after a 20-year stint, the sales managers confirmed Thursday, Oct 9.

The illness and death of Bill Loy, the store owner, on Sept. 2 prompted its forthcoming closure, sales manager Amy Young said.

Young, 60, said Loy’s son, Chuck, hired her and Bob Goetz, a retired mechanic and friend of over 40 years, for support on the business’ future once his father began feeling ill in February.

“We see Chuck quite regularly and we have been talking with him about what to do with a bike shop while his dad was ill,” Young said. “The decision was just made that it was time to close down.”

Goetz, 60, has known Chuck Loy since high school
