Kicking Rubber

Meet Bobby, the youngest member of our crew and the shop’s official tire inspector.

With the winter coming to an end and salty roads soon to be a thing of the past, Bobby wants to advise everyone to check their tires. Worn tires can contribute to more flats, poor handling and the rare blow out. Wet weather, low air pressure, and lots of riding break down the integrity of the tire’s rubber. Cracks on the sidewall as well as a worn, pitted, or squared treads are all evidence that the tire’s life is nearing the end.

Bobby has included a few illustrations below.

Happy riding, and be safe!

Best of Philly 2012: come get your bike repaired by the best

It was an enormous and humbling honor to named as one the Best Bike Shops in America last year, but there’s something extra nice about winning a Best of Philly, especially when that award is for our legendary service department.

It all started with Lee, back in 1990, fixing bikes by himself and earning his reputation as one of the best wrenches in town, and it continues today with a staff of experienced and knowledgeable mechanics who are ready to take on any job, big or small.

Whether you’re a long time customer or you’ve never had the pleasure of getting your bike worked on here before, stop by anytime for free estimates, great customer service, expert work, fast turnaround times, and find out what it’s like to get the best bike service in Philadelphia.

New Service Plan Options: cover your service costs for up to 5 years!

If you’ve bought a bike from us (thanks!) then you know about the legendary Bicycle Therapy Service Plan: three years of unlimited self-scheduled labor for just $60*, AKA the best service available for an unbelievable price. The Bicycle Therapy Service Plan is, without a doubt, the best and most affordable way to keep your bike running well.

The only complaint we’ve ever heard is that three years of unlimited service is sometimes not enough. Starting now, you can add 2 years at the end of your 3 year plan for just $50. Thats two more years of unlimited Tune-ups (a $120 value) for $50, not too shabby.

For more info, just stop by the shop.

*the Bicycle Therapy Service Plan is available only with the purchase of a new bike from Bicycle Therapy and the plan must be purchased within thirty days of the date of purchase of the bike. The plan covers the cost of service for self-scheduled tune-ups only, so neither the the cost of unscheduled service nor the cost of any replacement parts are covered by the plan.
