Our people are trained to match your kind of riding to all your different bicycle choices.
|
Their clerks are trained to stock shelves! |
| Carefully, proportionally fit your bike to you. This is vital to your safety, comfort, and fun. Quality bikes are built in many sizes to fit you OR a growing rider more safely and longer. |
Bikes are “one size fits all!” NO frame size selection or choice. (That’s like Nike™ making ONLY size 6 shoes to fit everybody’s feet.) Ridiculous!!! |
| Provide you honest information, have more types of bikes for different types of riding, and let you to test ride your choices. |
Have few bike-type choices, no test rides, but MIGHT offer a choice of colors! |
| Quality bicycles ARE repairable, worth repairing, and are built with better, more durable parts less prone to malfunction or need for repair. |
"Department store” bikes often use un-fixable, off-brand, “odd-ball” parts, and ARE OFTEN NOT WORTH REPAIRING! |
| Freedom the Bike Shop has expert, trained technicians to build AND repair bicycles.. |
Department stores have none! |
| Freedom the Bike Shop provides correct, safe bicycle assembly which takes an average of an hour or more per bicycle and is FREE! |
Department stores “throw together” 6 to 10 bikes an hour, and most charge extra for assembly! (A bike shop would charge up to $50 to re-build such a bike.) |
| ALL NEW BIKES need re-adjustment of gears, brakes, spokes, bearings, etc. after an initial 15 to 30 hours of use to operate properly and last. We provide a free tune up with the sale of every new bike. |
Expect bike adjustments to cost an EXTRA $25 to $60...and department stores DON'T do them! DON'T overlook this "hidden expense! And, they can ONLY give you another bike-in-a-box when they sell you a "lemon!" |
| Properly assembled and maintained bikes last and last and last… |
"Department store” bikes often malfunction, need costly repairs, and DON’T LAST! |
| We teach correct operation, safe use, and care, and adjust your bike to you. ONE bicycle that fits, lasts longer and "holds-up" through many riders' use (and STILL has a re-sale value!) costs less! |
Clerks spend little or no time with you, and you get what you pay for! Their bikes fall apart, are sometimes NOT-fixable, are often disposable, and their frequent repair or replacement COSTS YOU MORE!!! |
| You BI-cycle for years on bike shop bikes. |
You RE-cycle “department store” bikes! |
