We are an urban neighborhood-based bike shop serving a low-income community. Our inventory is 95% recycled bike shop quality bikes (sans carbon fiber). We offer tutoring on mechanics and some work trade but generally charge standard bike shop prices for repairs, tune-ups, etc. Our bike prices are about the same as the local coop and one other shop that specializes in used bikes, but much lower than the regular bike shops. Before we opened, we visited with the other bike shops and they were neutral or even glad to have a place where they could send customers seeking lower-cost bikes. Good luck!
