George Lee Snider arrived in Bakersfield, CA from Quincy, FL in November 1896 with only $16 in his possession. After working for Kern County Land Company and Southern Pacific Shops, George decided to open a bicycle shop.

Kern Cyclery was opened in 1904 and sold bicycles, phonographs, and photography supplies. Snider’s went on later to carry an additional kind of bike -Harley Davidson’s.
