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 and needed a sport for the kids; that put us into BMX racing. We found that many bikes riding around in the BMX Family needed repairs and upgrades. There didn't seem to be much in the way of BMX racing specific support in our area. The majority of bike shops these days don't know nor touch BMX. After fixing lots of bikes we decided we could be of more help with a business to unlock access to the cycling industry. That helps us support the BMX Family. 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. Though we can do MTB too. We got hardtails and pedal the trails, but we aren't shredding the gnar on full squish bikes. But hey, if you need RockShox we can get it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your shop physically at?
On our property in a separate building. Sometimes we are a mobile bike shop too depending on the event or need (like stuck 15 miles out in the desert with a busted jockey).
Do you not have big glass front shop downtown?
The town of Moses Lake does not have the strongest cycling community. Commerical building rents are not cheap and security issues are always a problem. There isn't enough bicycle business around our area to justify a full-time bike shop. The cycling industry collapsed around 2023, and many shops went out of business across the country. We are a little shop working part time with low overhead. By not having thousands in inventory and thousands per month in building rent we don't have to sweat it out. And no one beats Wally World in head-to-head bike sales.
Do we carry (brand name) and do we have it in stock?
We don't want to have to build a warehouse to stockpile inventory that might not sell. We understand retail is impulse driven and you want to see it, touch it, and get it today. We stock the necessities for repair jobs and upgrades. The rest we'll order for you, and we'll work to get you the best price. Ordering through us means you aren't ordering blindly; we'll help you choose the right part.
What forms of payment do we take?
We invoice with Square, and take cash, PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, Gold, Diamonds, Platinum, Silver
Do we take payments or offer financing?
No, but we take PayPal and Venmo and they offer financing. We also use Square, and they offer AfterPay. If you choose that option we add a small fee to offset the costs to us.
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, or at least make it better.
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 repair it. E-bikes vary in quality, type, and rider usage. Based on our experience most e-bikes are not economically repairable. Most e-bikes become scrap once electrical problems occur. Currently many popular e-bike companies do not partner with bike shops for warranty work. E-bikes are caveat emptor and price doesn't always equal better when it comes to e-bikes.
