It began in a one-car garage, fixing the neighbors' cruisers after salt air turned their chains orange. It is now six work bays and it still goes the same way: you tell us what the bike is doing, we write it on a tag, and we call you with a price.

  1. We call before we spend your money.
  2. Old parts come back to you, in a bag.
  3. Every bike gets a test ride around the block.

FAQ

Asked at the counter

Do you quote before work starts?

Yes. We inspect it, call you with a price, and no wrench turns until you say go.

How long does a tune-up take?

Usually two days. Flats are often same day. In peak season it can run a day longer.

Do you work on e-bikes?

Yes, hub and mid-drive motors. We start with the diagnostic ($40), credited if you repair with us.

Can I rent a cruiser for a week?

Yes: $110 a week, with a photo ID and a card on file. Basket and lock included.

Do you assemble a bike bought online?

Yes, from $60. Bring the box, and you get back a built bike with brakes and gears adjusted.

My bike is rusted from the salt air, is it worth fixing?

Almost always. If parts are past saving, we show you the old ones and the price of new ones before changing anything.

Salt air and your chain: two minutes on a Sunday

The habit that makes a chain last near the water.

Read the note

Wipe the chain with a dry rag after every ride near the coast and add one drop of lube per link once a week. Wipe off the extra: leftover oil collects sand.

If you already see orange rust between the links, bring it in before it eats the cassette.

Shells, sandspurs and flats: which tire to run

Why the flat always arrives on the same stretch of road.

Read the note

Shell paths and sandspurs go through thin tires. A tire with a puncture-protection belt, or a tube with sealant, solves most of it.

Check the pressure once a week: a soft tire punctures more.

The e-bike battery in July

Where to park it and when to charge it in this heat.

Read the note

Do not leave the battery in a sun-baked car, and do not charge right after a long ride: let it cool first. Shaded and dry lasts longer.

If the range drops suddenly, get the diagnostic before buying another.
