Springfield Bicycle Tours LLC
Husband and wife
Shaun and
Sarah Fossett started Springfield Bicycle Tours LLC, offering three themed tours around the city led by guides beginning April 12. Shaun Fossett said the couple spent less than $10,000 on 12 Trek hybrid bicycles and four kids’ bikes, plus general liability insurance coverage. Springfield Bicycle Tours is stationed at Potter’s House, where the rides start. For $14-$28 per person, riders choose between Coffee Meets Donut, with stops at local coffee shops; Parks & Recreation to ride the greenways and parks, some with picnic lunches; and points of interest routes to historic and popular sites and neighborhoods. The couple got the idea while backpacking in Europe two years ago. “There was no one doing something quite like that in Springfield, to show people the city from a different perspective,” said Shaun Fossett, who works part-time as a counselor at Missouri State University and associate director at Potter’s House.
