WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN “GREEN”!
Our commitment to a “cycling lifestyle” means more than just riding for the fun of it – although we do it because we really love what we do. We recycle, re-use and re-purpose whenever possible. We use eco-friendly solvents and cleaners and recycle rubber, aluminum and cardboard instead of throwing it away. We also utilize used parts when practical, and keep discarded bikes out of landfills by reconditioning them. Our new service vehicle, a shiny white Ford Transit Connect is available to work on your site and for pickups and deliveries. Watch for "Bill" in his bright new wrap job on the streets of Ames and the surrounding area. |
NEED TO DROP OFF A REPAIR?
Our shop is located at 811 Kellogg Avenue, 3 blocks north of the main post office in downtown Ames. We’re easy to find – it’s the only address in the block with a bike rack out in front! You may bring your bike to us any day of the week. If we aren’t around to greet you, please follow the posted drop-off instructions. WHAT IF I CAN’T BRING MY BIKE TO YOU? No problem. Just give us a call, complete the form at the top of this website or send us an email, and we’ll come to you. If it’s something simple (such as a flat tire) we’ll do the work at your location, while you wait. If it needs work that’s more complex, we’ll take it to our shop and return it to you when it’s fixed. We charge a fee for pick-up and delivery in the Ames area, plus the cost of repairs. We accept all major credit cards as well as cash or personal checks. |
WE RECYCLE BICYCLES
We gladly accept donations of good used bikes, which we check over and restore to safe operating condition. A portion of the sale price of every used bike is donated to trail development projects in Iowa. We are currently working with residents of Dallas and Boone Counties to raise funds needed to complete the last section of trail linking the Raccoon River Valley and High Trestle Trails. Connecting these two major recreational trails in our part of Iowa will create a major destination for riding enthusiasts and will provide a much-needed economic boost to trail towns. |
WHERE DID THE BUSINESS NAME COME FROM?
Craig’s a longtime fan of the classic British comedy series Monty Python’s Flying Circus. His all-time favorite Python skit is set in a community of Superman look-alikes, with one member leading a secret life as, of course, “Bicycle Repairman.” Naming the business after that character seemed pretty obvious. |
