What are your store hours?
    We are open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 AM - 6 PM

Why aren't you open on Mondays?

    We need a day to ride bikes too! Call it "product testing".

 

How much is a tune-up?

  • All of our repair work is "al la carte" so you don't have to pay for any work that your bike doesn't need. We check over each bike one-by-one and give you a list of repairs your bike is due to receive. We'll go through that list with you personally from most important to least important allowing you to decide which repairs you would like to have done. It makes more sense to us than charging a blanket rate, and saves you money if your bike doesn't need that much work

 

How soon will my bike repair be done?
  • Our turnaround time varies from week to week. It's best to call ahead and ask how far out we're scheduling appointments, or stop in and ask in person the when you're in the neighborhood. You will be given an exact date when you schedule your repair work, and we'll give you a phone call when it's all done!

Is there a warranty on used bicycles?
  • There is no explicit warranty on used bicycles.
  • We check all used bicycles to be sure they are in good working order before we put them up for sale.
  • In some cases, the bikes we sell need repair work. This is done before the bike is available for sale and the repairs are guaranteed.
  • If you have an issue with a used bicycle that you purchased from us, please call us and let us know. We are reasonable and can always figure out a solution.
