Our History


Draper Original

Hangar 15 Bicycles was founded in 1993 by Draper resident Mike Pratt, under the original name of Canyon Bicycles. Mike was a passionate cyclist at an early age. While serving as a Marine, Mike got a lot of his friends into cycling. One of his friends thought it would be fun to ride his bike home when he was discharged later that year.  At the time they were stationed on the coast of North Carolina & his friend’s home was in Nevada. Mike joined his friend on that adventure across the country. It was on that bike trip across the country that Mike decided that a bike shop was in his future.

Mike has come a long way from the originally set up in as a 1800 sf. space in the Hidden Valley Shopping center.  Hard work and long hours were only part of the recipe.  It was Mike’s passion for cycling and an understanding of what customers wanted that set the store in the right direction. Fast turn-around on repairs, knowledgeable and helpful service and sales staff, and a reinvestment in Inventory were key elements. In July of 2017, Canyon Bicycles made a name change to Hangar 15 Bicycles and has Utah’s largest selections of bikes & accessories. Hangar 15 Bicycles is the oldest retail business on 12300 South today.
