And, speaking of heat …
Our shop has no air-conditioning. When its over 90, especially when its humid and/or there’s no breeze, we declare a heat emergency and go do other things until it cools off. If you need us, you can still call us and we’ll come running. Thanks for your understanding.
And, speaking of calling …
Did you know we’re on X (Twitter)? We didn’t think so. Did you know we use it for more than political commentary? Really – we use it to let you know when we’re in the shop or when we’ll be gone. But it only works for you when you follow us – on X (Twitter)!

Dropping off a donor bike?
We love donations! You may leave donations on the west side of our building any time. However, we ask that you send us a message letting us know who you are and how to reach you. Learn more…
It's peak-season…
and we’re a two-man, part-time repair crew. We do our best to turn bikes around in about a week. We still try to change tubes/tires while you wait, but sometimes that’s impossible. Please be patient, and we ask that you pick your bike up promptly when finished to prevent damage and make room.

We have a storage solution for you.
Bikes really should be stored out of the sun, snow and rain. Your summer shelter may not be adequate for the long winter. We can store your bike for a low monthly rate, AND have it tuned up and ready for you in the spring!
Yes, we do consignment!
Bring in your gently used bicycle, and we’ll talk about its potential sales value. Then we’ll fix it up and deduct the cost of repair from its price when its sold. You pocket the difference! Learn more…
