THE STORY OF THE LOST CO

    The Lost Co was started back in 2016 as Mister Lost's Mobile Bike Shop with a retired Uhaul truck. The mobile shop was parked at local breweries and trailheads, and helped customers right at the bottom of Bellingham's Galbraith Mountain trails.

    In 2017, we turned our attention towards e-commerce to be able to help even more people with our expertise. Later that year we ran out of space in the mobile shop, opened up a brick and mortar store, retired the mobile shop and renamed the business to Mister Lost Bike Shop.

    Later in 2018 we started to realize just how awesome our online business had become, and wanted to come across as a bigger operation than a small local bike shop. We hired more riders which helped us create even more online media and help even more people than before. The business was renamed as The Lost Co and we cranked the volume up on our videos and online business.

    Fast forward to today, The Lost Co has moved into a huge new location and is known around the world for our YouTube presence and insanely good customer service. On a daily basis we help customers around the world source the correct parts for their bike and riding style instead of just selling stuff to make a quick buck. Our inventory has expanded quite a bit including high end suspension and components. We carefully choose which brands we represent and sell parts and accessories only from brands we know make quality products and offer excellent support.

     We run on a small and efficient team of dedicated riders to help you with the best possible knowledge and customer service. This way, you've always got a familiar face either in-store or through our email support. Meet the crew below!

MEET THE CREW!

Mike

Founder & Owner

Mike has been riding bikes since he started walking, and grew up riding off curbs in the Chicago suburbs. He's been wrenching on bikes since he was first hired as a mechanic in 2006 and hasn't stopped since. In 2014, Mike made the move from the Midwest to Bellingham, WA. After falling head over heels for the PNW, he realized Bellingham was the perfect place to plant his roots and opened The Lost Co in 2016. Mike is committed to building the best bike shop on Earth and is beyond grateful for every single customer who supports us.

Tor

Bike and Content Shredder

Hailing from the sunny landscape of California, Tor headed north and landed here in the cloudy town of Bellingham, WA. His riding style is "PINNED" and he loves to scope out those seemingly impossible triples. He loves riding and also loves sharing his experiences with others. You can catch Tor in front of the camera or behind the keyboard, but best of luck catching him on the trail!



Landry

Graphic and Digital Mastermind

Landry is a born-and-raised Texas boy, but had his compass pointed Northwest for Bellingham's technical terrain and dreamy scenery. Put a pen in this guy's hand and he'll draw anything you could ever ask for. He's our superintendent of a boat load of digital internet tasks, and does a damn great job at everything he appoints his focus towards.
