Our Story

Wheelhouse bike Co. LLC is owned and operated by the Bergquist family.

Dan Bergquist was born and raised in Chatham and has spent most of his life in the fishing industry, shellfishing and lobstering. He spent his college years working on ski mountains in Colorado and Vermont, and in outdoor sporting goods shops building and selling bikes.

Dan has passed his love of bicycles down to our son Jakob who loves downhill mountain biking.

Sarah Upton-Bergquist has a Fine Arts degree in Metal Sculpture and has been working as a professional goldsmith on Cape Cod since 2002. Electric bikes are more her speed and she has fun picking out the colorful bike accessories we sell in the shop. Her favorite bike embellishments are Nantucket Lightship Bike Baskets (perfect for picnics), graphic bells, and Lady Alamo fanny packs.

Dan spends most of his free time hiking and riding mountain bike trails in the woods of New England. Dan was a lobsterman for 15 years on the f/v SAGA out of the Chatham Fish pier. All that time spent in the wheelhouse of a fishing vessel gives special meaning to the name of the shop and our logo combining a ship's wheel and bicycle wheel. Earning his bicycle mechanic certification at Barnett Bicycle Institute in Colorado gave him the confidence to follow through on his long time dream of opening Wheelhouse Bike Co. LLC, and in 2016 we renovated the old pharmacy on Crowell Rd in Chatham next to the bike path and made it a reality!

We are so excited to share our local knowledge and love of family and bicycles with you!
