Local police officers Jett and Dorothy Junio have acquired Riders Cycles from Gene Salamatian, who founded the bike shop 29 years ago. Salamatian said he has entertained several offers over the years to sell the business at 1092 Cloverdale Ave., but none felt right “until Jett walked into the store and I sold him a bike … a month later I sold him the store.
