Hours - April through August 2011

We're down to one owner, wrench, custodian for the upcoming season, 2011.

Bike season 2011 will likely look a little different for the shop. I am contemplating opening just two days per week, Thursday and Friday afternoons. The bridge project has effected some area businesses tremendously and I will gauge the effect on BikeWorks through May and decide what the summer's hours will be. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to call or email me and arrange a time to drop off a bike or just to come in and look around.

We offer free estimates as always.



The shop phone is on "vacation" until May, so please call 906.282.5106 or email me at bikeworks@gmail.com to arrange a time to meet. Of course I'll be at the shop on my days off getting prepared for 2011 with remodeling and merchandising.

Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch...

I often quote this famous ditty from the Three Stooges to describe my progress at remodeling. Many customers have commented on the way the shop is shaping up. they are too kind! The phrase sums up my progress. I hope that customers are not turned off by the unfinished look; it is a bicycle shop after all. However, I hope to have it looking pretty spiffy by April. It's a challenge to get it all done on a limited budget. I hope to position the shop for a profitable and respectable opening summer season.

Oh, and if you would like to see the original "Niagara Falls" routine just go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yJBhzMWJCc&feature=related ; it's a hoot. There are also links to Abbott and Costello routines of "Slowly I turn..."
