A Main Street Bluffton business has gone crazy and changed its name.

CG Pro Bikes, an Ada Icon advertiser, owned by Raymond and Liz Harner, 127 N. Main St., Bluffton, is officially renamed “Bike Crazy.”

While the name change is official, the Harners plan a crazy celebration as soon as their new store sign arrives later this month.

In explaining the name change, Liz said, “We are bike experts, bike mechanics, bike fans, bike riders, bike fitters, bike advocates…we are bike crazy!”

A store name change was in the discussion stages ever since the Harners moved their business from Columbus Grove (CG) to Bluffton.
