Bike Sales
We offer a curated selection of quality bicycles for every type of rider — whether you are looking for a lightweight road bike to tackle the hills around Dubuque, a durable mountain bike for local trails, a reliable commuter for daily rides, or a comfortable cruiser for weekend leisure. Our team takes the time to understand how you ride, where you ride, and what you need, so you leave with a bike that genuinely fits your life.
Tune-Ups & Repair
Every bike benefits from regular maintenance. Our tune-ups cover everything from brake adjustments and drivetrain cleaning to wheel truing and bearing service. We handle flat repairs, brake pad replacements, cable swaps, suspension servicing, and complete overhauls. A well-tuned bike rides smoother, lasts longer, and keeps you safer on the road or trail. Bring your bike in and we will diagnose what it needs, explain it clearly, and get it back to you riding like new.
Parts & Gear
We stock a wide range of cycling accessories, components, and apparel. From tires, tubes, and chains to helmets, lights, locks, and riding apparel, we carry the gear that makes every ride better. If we do not have exactly what you need in stock, we can special order it for you. Our staff knows the difference between good gear and great gear, and we are happy to help you find the right setup for your budget and riding style.
Fittings
A proper bike fit is the difference between a ride you endure and a ride you enjoy. Our fitting service addresses saddle height, handlebar reach, cleat alignment, and overall bike geometry to match your body to your machine. Whether you are dealing with discomfort, chasing efficiency, or recovering from an injury, a professional fitting helps you ride longer, stronger, and pain-free. Every cyclist deserves a bike that feels like it was built just for them.

FAQ
Walk-ins are always welcome for small repairs like flat fixes and brake adjustments. For tune-ups, overhauls, and fittings, we recommend calling ahead at 563-556-6122 so we can schedule you in and give your bike the time and attention it deserves.
For most riders, a full tune-up every six months keeps everything running smoothly. If you ride frequently in wet or gritty conditions — like the gravel and trail routes around Dubuque — every three to four months is a good rule of thumb. Your drivetrain, brakes, and bearings will thank you.
Yes. We service road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, gravel bikes, commuters, e-bikes, and kids' bikes from virtually every major brand. Our mechanics are trained on a wide range of component systems and standards.
A bike fitting adjusts your bike to match your body — saddle height, handlebar reach, cleat position, and more. If you experience discomfort, numbness, or fatigue on rides, a fitting can make a dramatic difference. It is also one of the best investments you can make when buying a new bike.
Absolutely. We have relationships with leading distributors and manufacturers. If we do not have exactly what you are looking for in the shop, we can special order it and have it ready for you — often faster than you might expect.
We handle urgent repairs like flat tires, broken chains, and brake issues as quickly as possible. Give us a call at 563-556-6122 and we will let you know what we can do right away.
