the story of barn & bike
gregg & molly salisbury
We moved to the Hudson Valley from Minnesota in 2006, seeking proximity to NYC ... but wanting to live in the country. We had been married for six years and came to New York with a kid and a cat and a penchant for old stuff. In 2008, we found our dream property in Gallatin – a sturdy, early American farmhouse (built in the 1850s) with a spacious barn tucked in a valley.

breathing life into an old barn
The barn, built in 1930, was once home to livestock but had not been truly used or maintained for decades. Deciding to save the structure, we started by replacing the siding and the roof. Slowly but surely, a vision to create a unique and - yes, spectacular - space took root. With some trepidation we embarked on a two-year renovation journey, transforming the barn into a living space.

barn & bike is born
We channeled resources and a ton of creative energy into the barn's design and construction. Gregg is all about details; with resourcefulness and a discerning eye, he sourced materials from eBay, Craigslist, and local auctions, giving the barn its distinctive character.

a passion for cycling
One summer, Molly convinced Gregg to join her for a local triathlon, sparking his passion for cycling. He quickly fell in love with the sport and the endless scenic roads of the Hudson Valley. Today, Gregg is an avid cyclist, and we both enjoy sharing our love of cycling with others.
