CARBONDALE, Ill. (WSIL) -- Small Business Saturday is approaching, and a well-known Carbondale business is preparing for the occasion.

The Carbondale Cycle Shop, a family-owned business since 1971, is now in its 54th year and operated by the second generation. The shop's owner Thiwa Thipkhosithkun says they plan to offer a 10% discount to all customers to mark the day.

"They should shop local because it helps put back money in the community. It helps all the small businesses out," Thipkhosithkun said.

Staff at the shop mentioned that they often assist everyone from first-time riders to Southern Illinois University students who rely on bikes for their commute to class.

He also says their shop handles full bike maintenance, including repairs on electric bikes.
