Bike Shop

Cycle & Coffee's team of skilled bike mechanics can help with many repairs. Come in for your annual tune-up in order to make sure your bike is pedaling safely and to assess wear and tear on components before a bigger problem arises. Or, swing by to have us look at ongoing minor issues from gears skipping to squeaky brakes.

Our Specialty: timeless, customized bikes for practical, everyday riding

We used to service just about any bike that would walk through our door, however we've decided to hone in on what we are most passionate about, and will happily direct you to other local shops if we're not the right place for you. 

We build, service, and sell bikes for regular people who want to ride a bike to get around and have fun, with style. We primarily service and sell practical and beautiful (oftentimes vintage) bikes for casual rides, commuting, touring, trail riding, bike camping and bikepacking, and we do our best to make sure your ride is comfortable, safe, fun, functional and affordable.

If we are a fit, your support of us as a small local business means the world to us, and keeps us afloat so we can continue to serve our community! 

Sustainability

Sustainability is a core value for us, meaning that we believe in biking instead of driving as a primary mode of transport, giving renewed life to used bikes and components whenever possible, and prioritizing durable and timeless bikes, components, and accessories when it comes to new products. 

Vintage bikes

We specialize in keeping vintage and durable (primarily steel) bikes rolling for decades to come, and customizing them for each rider's personality, aesthetic, and functional needs. Vintage bikes hold a lot of history, and oftentimes sentimental value, which we are proud to honor. We tend to work on 80's, 90's, and early 00's bikes, and find that vintage mtbs and touring bikes make great commuters. 

Vintage bikes also tend to be distinctive, a more affordable way to get started, less of a target for theft, and of course, are the most sustainable option. A great choice for city-riders, newbies, and stylish Earth-lovers.

Despite the ubiquity of vintage bikes out there, they require extra effort to set up, which is why most shops would rather sell you something new. Older bikes are quirky, non-replicable, and often require some tweaks and replacement parts in the early stages of taking them out of retirement. If you're bringing in a bike from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, it's likely going to need an expensive overhaul and deep clean. But despite paying a bit more for labor upfront, the simplicity of older components and availability of suitable used parts (with some exceptions, like French bikes) typically means that you will spend less money over time on a used bike than a new one. 

Forever bikes

We also recognize that some modern bikes are built to last lifetimes with proper care, and will inevitably be the vintage of the future. That's why we also carry (and can special order) some new steel bikes by brands such as Rivendell, Soma, Surly, and All-City. 

Every kind of bike has its place, to get folks outside and getting around without a car, but decades from now, a steel frame can still be welded and bent back into shape, and cable actuated components will still be serviceable, while carbon fiber frames, electronic shifters, e-bike batteries and the like will unfortunately fill the landfills. 

We're more interested in bikes that could withstand the apocalypse than ones with the latest technology.

Customization

In the shop, we also have a broad selection of products to customize and accessorize your bike such as racks, fenders, saddles, bells, baskets, pedals, locks, helmets etc. We also sell replacement components such as tires, brake pads, chains, etc. We can custom order parts you may be looking for, as well as search our warehouse for hard-to-find vintage components. 

Local bike shops that might be a better fit for you

Whether you're looking for something different than what we offer (perhaps more high adrenaline, high speed, or high tech), or you like our vibe, but our hours or location aren't quite right for you, or you're just into bike shop tourism and supporting bike shops that ought to stick around, please check out this blog post for recommendations on other local bike shops! 

Bike Assembly

We are happy to accept shipments directly from the manufacturer of any bicycle, and we can assemble and tune your bike. If you would like to order from a 3rd party company, just give us a call so we know to expect your bike (Assembly charges will apply, check out our service prices listed above).
