Over the past few years, my fellow Gear writers and I have tried almost every kind of electric bike, from the best heavy-duty cargo bikes to high-end mountain bikes. They get you outside, reduce traffic congestion, and shrink your carbon footprint. You don't need to be physically fit to ride one. Ebikes are now lighter, more attractive, and more powerful than ever. And it seems that millions of Americans agree, whether they rented one from a bike-share or bought their own.įor years, electric bicycles were bulky, inconvenient, expensive machines with limited battery life. If you're a grown-up who can't quite think of what to do to make anything better, I have a simple suggestion: Hop on a bike.
#Easy rider bicycle upgrade#
If your bike repair requires new parts, we will order equivalent or upgrade based on your budget and goals.In a time of multiple global crises-like the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and the threat of nuclear war-it's hard not to feel helpless. Basically, if you love your bike enough to have it serviced, (you are a good bike owner btw), Dave will treat your bike as if it were his own, and breath new life into every moving part. Where there is a will, there is definitely a way to repair even the most broken and beaten of bicycles.
Your bike is far more valuable than the few repairs needed to get you rolling again.īikes are a highly sentimental type of thing. This is serious work after all, with specific tools and know-how. Just because it is difficult doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. Have a bike another mechanic has turned away? Have a bike that your significant other started to fix? Have a bike that just came from another shop/mechanic, but problems persist? Dave specializes in these types of repairs, and has proven that he will not give up when the job becomes absolute hellfire. Job completion is of utmost importance, and anything short of that is simply unacceptable. He rides everything from road bikes to MTBs to beach cruisers, and loves each one for different reasons. Experienced mechanic from several bike shops, touching every type of bicycle and/or bicycle related product known to human kind. As a century rider, weekend warrior, and daily commuter, he has had just about every experience of roadside repairs, and can quickly get you rolling again. Like most Americans, Dave started cycling as a child, but took new roots with road riding in California in his early 20’s. This is the beginning of a new era of bicycle service. Let the Easy Rider take care of all that hassle for you, save your time and money, the Easy Rider has got you covered. No more lugging your bike to the shop, however far it maybe. To provide top level service for those who love to ride, but may not have the flexibility or time to wait several weeks for repair turn-around during peak season. In the most dire times, service would be the only reason for a bike shop to remain open at all, with sales associates bored to tears.
The only real steady business is bicycle service.
Cannot blame the consumer for finding the best deal in our market, more power to them (and more bike parts). Instead they would shop but then buy online through eBay or Amazon. As he climbed from sales, to management, to mechanic, he noticed that many of the customers simply weren’t buying the products on display. The simple fact is that many bike shops are going away for good, and leaving their customers without a trusted mechanic.ĭave has worked at 3 different locations for one bicycle retailer, starting in Southern California back in 2011 and then SE Pennsylvania in 2013 to 2019. That’s the way it’s been for decades, so why change now? In our modern times, many brick and mortar bicycle shops are falling behind the curve and cannot compete with online retailers. Everyone has been hauling their bikes to the local bike shop for tune-ups.
