We were travelling around Thunder Bay when we had a mishap with our bikes on our bike rack. Called and explained our problem to the guys and they got the bikes in the next day. Very good work to get us up and cycling quickly. Super impressed with their business sense, quality of work, friendly service and price. Thanks!

I've never even had the chance to go inside, but I can already tell you this place is a gem! I had a few specific things in mind and the guys helped me find everything I needed curbside. No matter what you're looking for you'll find awesome service and sick gear. A prime example of a store going above and beyond to keep their customers happy during these tough times. When it comes to bike stuff I know where I'll be shopping from now on!

Great knowledgeable and service conscious staff! We just got into TBay on week 2 of our vacation, and planned on hitting the trails at Trowbridge all weekend. Saturday morning had some issues with shifting and needed some parts, figured we may be out of luck getting it fixed on the Saturday of a long weekend. I explained my situation and problems and they had the parts and installed them while I waited.
The mechanics were busy and backed up, but he squeezed me in so I could enjoy the trails. He also shared info about some other trail systems further west of Tbay. Great bike shop! Fuelled by passionate
