Welcome to BicycleSPACE!

We’re around the bend (the Solstice passed at 5:01 AM Thursday!), days are officially longer than the nights, and SPRING HAS SPRUNG! And there’s no better way to get out into the Sunny days- or burn off some vexation- then turning over the pedals on your ride home or favorite local trail!

Get READY TO RIDE! It’s a great time to come by and take some test rides on a fresh set of wheels and/or get your current steed all tuned & buffed before things get crazy at the shop! We have a wide variety of bikes in-stock for riders of all kinds-and all the gear needed to get the most out of your ride! The service department has been churning through the repairs with quick turnaround times- stop by anytime for an estimate & we’ll have you back rolling smoothly in a jiffy! The crew is amped to get everyone rolling, whether on a new set of wheels or making sure old faithful can keep you smiling!

We can all agree that if you treat your bike well, it'll perform reliably. But many riders don't know the fundamentals of taking care of their bike. We might wonder: 'How much air should I be putting into my tires? What do I do if I get a flat tire? When should I lube the chain?' Not to worry, bicycle repair is much easier than rocket science. Join us for a free class covering the Essentials of Bicycle Maintenance, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a deeper understanding of your bicycle. 

Over an fun and friendly hour and a half, we'll cover: 

  • ABCQ Pre-Ride Checks

  • Fixing a flat tire (Bring a front wheel if you'd like to get a bit more hands-on)

  • How and when to lubricate a chain

  • What to bring with you to be prepared on a ride

Class sizes are limited so that our staff instructors can help attendees get their hands dirty, so RSVP now to save your seat. We'll also make it easier to stock up your repair kit with a discount on tools and repair items after the class- don't miss it!
