STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. So much has changed on Staten Island in the past 125 years, but one thing remains the same Bennett’s Bicycles is still helping cyclists cruise across the borough on two wheels.
First opened back in 1896, the longtime staple of the Staten Island community is now owned and operated by Tommy and George Bennett, the fifth generation of the Bennett family to run the store, making it one of the oldest family-owned businesses that the borough has ever seen.
Having worked in the shop since he was 18 years old, Tommy Bennett, now 62, said it has been a pleasure serving the Staten Island community for nearly five decades and building so many long-lasting relationships with his customers.
