Helpful Tips To Get You Back Riding ASAP:

Due to the high demand and seasonality of Midwest bicycling ANY customer wanting the quickest and/or same day service need to:

  • Think ahead and anticipate your needs.
  • Whenever possible, show up early in the day and get to the shop before the Weekend.
  • Good weather and weekends = busy times at the bike shop!
  • Fall and Winter are slow times for bike shops BUT great times for bike repair and tune-ups.
  • The more difficult to repair/service AND/OR hard to get parts= slower turn around
  • Tune-ups are done on first come first served basis
