How we sell used bikes
Each used bike gets a full tune-up and new brake pads before it goes on sale, and comes with 30 days of free adjustments. We take trade-ins as store credit. Sample policy
Bike fitting
A bike that fits stops most sore knees, backs and numb hands. A basic fit is free with every new bike. Sample prices
Quick fit
Saddle height and position, bar reach and cleat set-up, for a sore knee, back or hands on a bike you already ride.
Full fit
We watch you ride on a trainer, check flexibility and change the stem, saddle or bars where it helps. A follow-up within 30 days is included.
Bring the shoes and shorts you ride in. If you use clip-in pedals, bring those too.

Questions people ask at the counter
Something else? Call the shop on (555) 016-4471
Do I need to book a repair?
Flat fixes and small adjustments are walk-in. For tune-ups, booking a drop-off day gets your bike into the stand sooner.
Will you call before doing extra work?
Yes. If the bike needs parts beyond the price you were quoted, we call or text with the cost and wait for your OK. This is a sample policy.
Can you work on e-bikes?
Brakes, gears, tires, wheels and general checks, yes. We don't open motors or batteries, but we'll tell you where to send them.
Do you buy used bikes?
We take trade-ins as store credit toward another bike. Bring it in and we'll make an offer after a look in the workshop.
How long will you hold a finished bike?
Seven days at no charge. After that it's $5 a day, because the workshop runs out of room. Sample terms.
Can I ride the bike before buying?
Yes. Every new and used bike can be test ridden. Bring ID and we'll set the saddle height first.
