Trailnet Champion: Last Stop Bike Shop
Each month we feature a member or members of our community that work to push Trailnet’s vision of Streets for All. For September, we’re featuring Last Stop Bike Shop!
When you ride with Trailnet, chances are you’ve already benefited from the generosity and expertise of Last Stop Bike Shop — whether you knew it or not. Owners Aaron Grant and Casey Oliver have become some of the most reliable behind-the-scenes champions of our rides and events.
From running SAG support at Trailnet community and partner rides, to hauling our gear when needed, to coming into the Trailnet office for a “bike maintenance day” so our whole staff could keep riding smoothly — Last Stop Bike Shop shows up. And they do it with the same philosophy that drives their business: meet people where they are and keep them riding.
A whole-package approach to bike care
Aaron and Casey bring complementary strengths to their shop and the cycling community. “My specialty is fitting bikes correctly — making sure riders have the right saddle, proper leg extension, and the knowledge they need to have a great ride,” Aaron explains. “Casey is all about the nuts and bolts, keeping bikes running smoothly and on schedule. Together, we’re kind of the whole package.”
That combination makes Last Stop Bike Shop more than just a service counter — it makes them a trusted partner who can anticipate needs, listen carefully, and get riders back on their bikes with confidence.
Why Trailnet matters
The partnership between Trailnet and Last Stop Bike Shop goes beyond event logistics. “We enjoy our close relationship with Trailnet because, like us, they’re looking ahead — planning the future projects that make cycling better for everyone,” Aaron says. “Without advocacy and support, projects don’t get done. The future I want to live in has a lot more bicycles in it and a lot more walkable, bikeable infrastructure. Trailnet’s vision aligns perfectly with that.”
Building a bike-friendly future
Aaron describes himself as a “man of vision(s),” and his passion shines through in every conversation about cycling. For him and Casey, the joy of cycling isn’t something to keep to themselves — it’s something to share widely. “It is very rewarding to help someone discover a love of cycling,” Aaron says. “We want Last Stop Bike Shop to be a name people know for good fun, quality service, and helping grow the city’s bike paths and facilities.”
The shop already has plans for more events, partnerships, and classes, with big ideas on the horizon for 2026 and beyond. Their goal? To stay rooted in the St. Louis cycling scene for years to come, helping more people experience the joy of getting around by bike.
Last Stop Bike Shop embodies what it means to be Trailnet Champions. They don’t just fix bikes — they build community, support safer streets, and keep people riding. We’re grateful to have them as partners and friends in this movement.
