About
Off The Chain Bicycles is just a little ole shop in
Sevierville, Tennessee opened in the fall of 2017.

carry parts for all cycling needs. We carry parts, accessories and shop apparel of all varieties to help keep the bicycle community on the go! Bicycles are important to us because they are one of our first forms of independence and most people have a fond bicycle memory.

Mark Ailey
Our founder Mark Ailey started as an apprentice bicycle mechanic at a former shop in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee named Knucklebusters. They closed their doors in 2015 and Mark continued working on bicycles from home until the opening of Off The Chain. Mark was named Bicyclist of the Year in 2019 at the Get-A-Grip Bicycle Show held annually in Cleveland, Tennessee for his dedication to the preservation of the bicycle hobby and interest.
