We have been riding bikes since the 70's, 80's, 90's, and 2000's. We took the 2010's off, and came back for the 2020's.
We went back to BMX. We started racing here and there. We found that many bikes in the 'BMX Family' needed repairs and upgrades. There didn't seem to be much in the way of BMX racing specific support. The majority of bike shops these days don't know or do BMX. After fixing lots of bikes we decided to make things more legit and got a business license. We are not a ruthless profit machine; we're a place where the BMX Family can get support. As mainstream bike shops die out and the cycling industry changes our business model is the way many shops are beginning to operate; specializing in a cycling discipline with a core customer base. We do MTB too. We got hardtails and hit the trails, but we aren't shredding the gnar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your shop?
In the side yard. It's a cottage industry; micro bike shop; sometimes mobile bike shop.
Do we have a shop located downtown?
The town of Moses Lake does not have a strong cycling community compared to other towns. Commerical building rents are up and security issues are always a problem. There isn't enough bicycle business around our area to justify a full-time bike shop with a commercial location. The cycling industry collapsed, and many shops went out of business across the country. We are a little shop working part time with low overhead. By not having $50,000 in inventory and $2,000 per month in building rent we don't have to sweat it out while eating Ramen noodles. Using our business model we can afford bologna and Miracle Whip sandwiches to go with our Ramen!
Do we carry (brand name) and do we have one of everything in stock?
We don't want to have to build a warehouse in our backyard to stockpile inventory that might not sell. We understand retail is impulse buying driven and you want to see it, touch it, and get it today. We stock the necessities to repair jobs and some upgrades. The rest we'll order for you and get you the best price.
What forms of payment do we take?
Cash, PayPal, Venmo, Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, Gold, Diamonds, Platinum, Silver
Do we take payments or offer financing?
You can make payments to your credit card company. We take PayPal and they offer financing like Pay in 4. We also use Square for invoicing, and they offer AfterPay which is like Affirm.
Do we take trade-ins if buying a new bike?
Yes, but trade-in value depends on what are you trading and what are you buying.
Will you help figure out the kind of bike I want and help buy it or help build it for me?
Yes, we're here to help.
Can you fix gear shifters and the gear changing gear thingy?
Yes.
Do you work on e-bikes?
It depends. Fix a tube? Sure. New chain? Sure. Electrical problems? We'll look at it, but we make no guarantees if we can, or will, repair it. E-bikes vary in quality, type, and rider usage. Based on our experience some e-bikes are not economically repairable. Most e-bikes become scrap once e-drive problems occur. Currently many popular e-bike companies do not partner with bike shops for warranty work. E-bikes are caveat emptor.
