With the BlackSheep Mountain Bike Club Ozzy 8 getting bumped to the long weekend, we figured we’d let our staff have a slightly extended break so they can take part in the event, and enjoy some R&R for the hard work through the busy bike season 😮‍💨 - we’ll be closed this Saturday through Monday, and back to our regular 11am-6pm hours on Tuesday.

Hope you have a great long weekend - see you on the trails! ☀️🚲🌲

We’ve got a slick new front entrance underway, but construction is taking a bit longer than expected - in the meantime, using our rear entrance is the best way to pay us a visit! Swipe for some maps 👉
You’ll want to enter behind Java Hut off Ontario St. via Spofford St., which can be accessed from Fort William Rd. It’s a little zig zagging, but you’ll avoid the congestion out front 👍🏻

With the smoke from the forest fires making it tough to get out for a ride, now is a great time to give your bike some attention before the trails and roads clear up again. We also want to do a small part to support and show our appreciation for those working tirelessly to protect our communities.

For the rest of the month, we’re offering a FREE tune-up to any volunteer firefighter or MNR wildfire worker helping tackle the current fires. We know you’re incredibly busy right now, so let us take one thing off your plate and have your bike ready to roll when you get the chance to get back into the forest for some fun. (One tune-up per volunteer/worker. Please bring proof of ID and let us know which department you’re with).

For everyone else, our service department is open and ready to help with tune-ups, repairs, and anything your bike needs so you’ll be ready to ride when the air clears. While it’s a bummer we’re all spending less time on our bikes, it’s a good opportunity to make the most of the downtime. Our techs have been working hard to get our current turnaround time down to approximately 2-3 days for most standard repairs.

To everyone on the fire lines and supporting these efforts, thank you, stay safe, and here’s to some rain in the forecast 🙏 💪

Live trailside repair action for ya! ⚒️🌲
I got a flat on what was supposed to be a quick ride today, at about the furthest point in the network from my car…which would be at least a 45 minute walk out. With just a couple pocket size tools, I was back on my way in about 5 minutes, and was able to continue riding as originally planned 🙏
One of the benefits of tubeless tires is that when you do get a puncture, you have the opportunity to quickly and easily repair it with some inexpensive plugs like I had with me today - pair those with a way to inflate (either a pump or CO2), and you also can be back rollin’ again instead of hopping aboard the Heel Toe Express.
Make sure you’ve got your sealant topped up for the season, and swing by the shop if you have any questions about these tools. Have a great weekend!

Winter Clearance is still on, but some categories are getting packed up to make room for the bike stuff, so get in quick to save big! We’ve also got some great early-season discounts on bikes from last year that need to move, and are brimming with kids bikes that are all ready to roll 🛞
We’ll be open Saturday and Monday to help you squeeze the last drops out of your ski season, and get you prepped with some fresh wheels for when the sun finally arrives! ☀️❓🍃
Enjoy your Easter Weekend! 🐣

We’ve got the bikes to survive their best ideas💡
With last year’s kids bike shortage, getting your hands on a set of wheels was almost that painful - but we’ve made sure that’s not the case this season! With a huge selection in stock now for all ages and abilities, we’ve got everything from affordable rides for your backyard trails, to dream-worthy full-suspension rigs that’ll have them leaving you in their dust 💨
We’re also accepting youth trade-ins, so if you have a bike they’ve outgrown, but don’t want to deal with marketplace tire-kickers, bring it by and see what it might be worth.
Don’t wait until it’s too late! Come on by and check out the goods; our staff are here to help you narrow down the ideal bike for your little one’s needs, and have them eager to roll as soon as the snow melts!
