It was a quick spin around the block on their kid’s bikes that first motivated Tom and Nancy Revard to get into cycling.  That “quick spin” turned into a couple of hours and a family obsession was born.  Tom and Nancy soon got the whole family of eight involved in cycling and eventually opened the family business, The Bike Line, in 1979.  

Today, The Bike Line is owned by Charlie, Bill and Jimmy Revard, and specializes in Trek, Electra, Pinarello, Bianchi, Stromer, Guerciotti and BMC Bicycles. Bike Line takes pride in featuring the best selection of bike brands in the area and is the largest dealer of Zipp wheels, a premium brand of wheels raced all over the world by top professionals.

Bill explained that one doesn’t have to be a professional rider to enjoy professional-quality equipment. “It’s a rewarding way to get more enjoyment and performance out of your sport,” says Bill, “and, it makes for a better, higher-intensity workout.”

When my husband and I moved out to Indiana in 2007 to be closer to my parents, we quickly realized that we missed the delis and hoagie shops that we grew up loving in South East PA. With a degree in Restaurant and Hospitality Management from Penn State University in 2002, I pursued a General Managment position at Elbow Room and a few years later became Operations Mananger for the LUX Restaurants in Indianapolis.

After many years of having family and friends from back east send us PA grub, I decided it was time to bring it here for all Indianapolis to enjoy. With Bread coming from South Jersey, meat, pickles and chips coming from Philly and the heart of Pennsyvania Dutch Country we hope to give our new home of Indy a taste of what South East PA comfort food is all about.

A big thank you to our family and friends from PA to Indiana who have supported us and a special thanks to my husband and parents for all of their help in my opening of Hoagies and Hops.

We believe love is important for doing good work. As Indiana natives, we love where we live, and we love being a part of the local culture here. We think Indianapolis is a special place, and we are excited to be a part of its burgeoning coffee culture.

We also love coffee and its mystery. Carefully roasted coffee is a work of art, with slight changes in heat and airflow and timing in the roaster making for very different results in the final cup. We never tire of roasting, brewing, or drinking great coffee.   

Last, we love how coffee enriches community. Modern life can be fragmenting, pulling us into a thousand different directions. Craft coffee does the opposite. It calls us to slow down, take in our surroundings, and pay attention to the people and everyday moments that fill out and bring richness to our lives.

We source our beans from experts who search out the best specialty green coffee available and pay a fair price for it. We roast light to medium, with the intent to highlight the coffee’s natural origin flavor, avoiding more roasty or smoky flavors. While coffee is very versatile and everyone has their preferences, we like this approach because we feel it showcases each unique coffee’s potential and gives a very flavorful cup.
