Jon Ryan's Pubs

My dad and founder Bob Ryan grew up in a family with 10 kids. Transportation was limited to the city bus or if you were lucky enough, a good used bicycle. In 1972, my dad was handed down the family newspaper route. He knew it would be difficult delivering the 100 or so papers on his route and still get home before dark. After a few weeks, the route earned enough to buy his first bicycle, a used Schwinn. Although old, that bicycle became the family bike as the paper route was handed down to his younger siblings. Many a friend was made on that bike over the years, and many a home got their newspaper on time because of it. The bicycle was an important part of life at the Ryan’s.
