Lots of Good Refurbished Bikes For Sale!
Cycle Transitions’ mechanics have refurbished many bicycles over the winter. If you are in need of a good used bike, or know someone who is, we have lots – most of which are between $50 and $100. Come on in and take a look!
Cycling Refresher Course for Adults
Volunteer: Maria Garrett
Bring your bike (must be in working condition), helmet, drink, and a snack (optional). If you need to repair or tune your bike before the sessions, consider coming in to work on the bike at Cycle Transitions. Annual membership fee is $30 for an individual, $50 for a family. Or pay $5/hour for the use of a work station. A mechanic is available for assistance or tutoring.
Tune-Up Time – Spring is almost here!
Now is the time to get your bike out of storage and give it a good spring tune-up! Clean it, lube it, replace worn out parts. Come in to Cycle Transitions where we’ll help you get your bike in top form for riding.
If you’ve got a bike you’re no longer using, we’ll gladly take it off your hands – donate it to us. We’ll refurbish and sell it so that someone else can ride it for many more years.
We’re now open for our riding season hours – that means Thursday evenings (6:30 to 9 p.m.) in addition to Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings (9 a.m. to noon).
Winter Riding Tips
Cycle Transitions has had a steady number of members coming by to maintain their winter bike. It’s been a good winter for riding with relatively little snow and mostly reasonable temperatures (not great if you like cross-country skiing…). Here is a drawing from the City of Toronto as well as a posting at the gearjunkie website which provide invaluable tips for winter riding!
