Find Us

We are located on the north side of the downtown square in Wilkes Barre off Main Street. Our building is setback from Main Street and can be tricky to find (you can refer to the Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield building as a marker, they are directly next door). The driving entryway to the shop is between Acme Lock and the 570 Tattoo shop. Enter through the alley-way and you cannot miss the big Orange and Blue building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We work on all brands of non-electric bicycles. Some parts are proprietary and only carried by the manufacturer but brakes, shift systems, wheels and tires for example are universal.

There are some standard services outlined on our Service Page. However, if you need more information you must bring the bicycle in. We can quickly check the functionality of the bike and recommend services and give an estimate. If the repair exceeds the estimate we contact you to discuss the issue. If the repair cost exceeds the value of the bike, we recommend a new bike.

No. We sell our own line of e-bikes and we are glad to service any and all of those.

Yes. We accept trade-ins when purchasing a new bike.

Generally Yes. We try to complete tube and tire repairs. They typically take 10-15 minutes. If there are multiple repair issues with the bike as well, you will have to leave it.What is the turn-around on Tune Ups and repairs?

In-season (April-Sept), turn-around times are typically 1-2 weeks. In the Off-season, most repairs can be done in 1-3 days. This is subject to parts availability. We highly recommend getting your bike tuned in the off-season. It is cheaper, faster and more convenient.

We prefer a repaired bike to be picked up within 7 days from completion. Bikes left over 30 days are subject to a $5/week storage fee. Bikes left for more than 60 days will be sold for the cost of the repair. However, yes, we can arrange for short-term storage with advanced notice.

We offer professional boxing services for bicycles. You must provide the shipping label and we recommend shipbikes.com and bikeflights.com to do that. We also have a plastic bicycle case for rent ($35) that can be shipped or checked with airline luggage.

We highly recommend test riding any bike, new or used, that you consider purchasing. We have a small parking lot for test riding. We also allow you to ride it around the nearby neighborhood.

Yes. We rent any of our used bicycles for $15 for the first hour and $25/day. We do not always have every size or style of bicycle to rent. It is solely based on the current used bike fleet.
