Other than walking, there’s no more Earth-friendly mode of transportation than a bicycle. Bikes have an incredibly low manufacturing footprint compared to a motorized vehicle. They’re cheap to operate, don’t pollute the air, and provide more miles per calorie of energy than any mode of getting around known to humankind. Best of all, a properly maintained bicycle should last for decades.

All those factors makes a bike a good candidate for buying used. You can pick up a quality bicycle for a fraction of its original purchase price, and it will give you many years of reliable service.

We currently have a wide variety of used bicycles that are perfect for any age range and experience level.

Riding In Wet Weather

rain bikeLot’s of wet weather in Central Illinois this weekend. In the rain, pay special attention to metal surfaces such as manhole covers or steel-grid bridge decks, painted traffic markings, wet leaves and oil slicks. They’re all especially slippery. Avoid riding through puddles if you can’t see the bottom – a puddle can hide a pothole. If you are able to get a ride in, it is a good idea to relubricate your bicycle’s chain to help prevent rust.

Lubricating the chain is covered in our basic tune-up, which will also adjust your front and rear brakes, gears and will cover any minor adjustments. The best part : we offer next day service on most repairs.

Today will be a good day to bring in you ride and get the basic tun-up so you can be ready to go when the rain finally stops!

Weekend hours:
Saturday 9-4
Sunday 11-3
