What are the benefits of a bike repair shop?

Many people enjoy Québec’s scenery by bike thanks to the many bike paths across the province. Despite cycling’s popularity, dedicated repair shops aren’t always quickly or locally accessible. Cyclists have a lot to gain from these services. All year round, Cyclo Services offers services that make getting around easier every day.

Sharing know-how

Many cyclists would like to know how to repair their bike so they can use it more often. But in some cases, they don’t have the right tools. With the advice and know-how of Cyclo Services’ experts, they get optimal repairs or maintenance at a fair price.

When you bring in your bike, we explain its condition and the work needed. We take the time to prepare a detailed repair estimate. It’s sent to you by email for approval, so you can follow your bike’s progress at any time. Once we receive your approval, including any changes you ask for, our experts do the work and let you know when your bike is ready. An express service offers a same-day tune-up, depending on availability. Drop off your bike in the morning and pick it up at the end of your workday, which makes getting around much easier. In some cases, a loaner bike will tide you over while waiting for a missing part.

Bike mechanics training

If you’d like to maintain your own bike or bikes, our bike mechanics courses recognized by Vélo Québec will get you started. Fixing a flat, adjusting brakes and gears and keeping your bike in good shape will save you a trip to the shop and a wait that can sometimes be quite long! Several regions of Québec are poorly served by repair shops. Gain some independence by learning the basics of your bicycle. The secret to success is putting the training into practice, ideally on more than one bike (who doesn’t have several bikes in the family?). You’ll deepen your knowledge and be able to make the necessary repairs yourself. With this training, if a mechanical problem comes up during a ride, you’ll be resourceful enough to get back on the road with peace of mind.

A place to get started in cycling

Cyclo Services, like many other bike repair shops, doesn’t just repair your bike: it can also rent you one! We always offer a wide selection of rental bikes, city, road, tandem, kids’ and electric, for every size and age. Carefully fitted and maintained by our team, this range of bikes lets you find the right type for your height. Cyclo Services is the ideal place to get started, or get your kids started, in cycling at an affordable price!

A community spirit

Besides technical service, the repair shop is also an important hub for the community that grows around it. It’s a great place to chat with other cyclists looking for affordable and practical transportation. Technical tips, ride suggestions and practical advice are shared for free!

Cycling also often leads you to explore your neighbourhood at your own pace and see your area’s streets and bike paths from a new angle. It’s a very effective way to connect with your community and make new discoveries.
