Celebrating International Repair Day This Saturday

There’s a lot happening next Saturday, October 18th, and we want to make sure you know about something special: International Repair Day.

International Repair Day is an annual celebration for everyone who makes repair happen in their communities around the world. We’re proud to be part of this movement, and we feel strongly about the right to repair and keeping perfectly good bikes in top working condition.

Why Repair Matters

While the cycling industry constantly pushes the latest technology, we believe there’s real value in maintaining what you already have. There’s nothing wrong with rim brakes and mechanical shifting—these proven components are reliable, repairable, and keep bikes running for decades. We’re committed to keeping your bike working as long as possible, whether it’s a vintage steel frame or a bike that’s just a few years old.

Choosing repair over replacement isn’t just good for your wallet—it’s better for the environment and keeps quality bikes out of landfills. Every bike we keep running is a small victory against throwaway culture.

We’re Here to Help

When you need parts or service for your bike, think local first. We stock both new and used parts, and we can special order components in just a few days. More importantly, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing your parts are right for your bike and installed by knowledgeable mechanics who care about keeping older bikes on the road.

Stop by this Saturday to celebrate International Repair Day with us! Whether you need a tune-up, are looking for parts, or just want to chat about keeping your bike running strong, we’d love to see you.

(And yes, make sure you come downtown for Fall Fest and the Monster Mash Market too—rain or shine, it’s going to be a great day!)
