About Wolfi’s:
Wolfi’s Bike Shop began in 1988 in Germany’s Black Forest as a small “one-man show” led by Wolfgang Hohmann. In 2002, a visit to Dubai inspired a bold move to bring Wolfi’s passion for cycling to the UAE. Since then, Wolfi’s has grown into a regional hub for cycling, playing a key role in popularizing the sport in the Middle East, including the development of tracks like Al Qudra. Today, with a team of over 50 and an ever-expanding showroom, Wolfi’s remains dedicated to making cycling accessible to all and fostering a thriving cycling community.
