Bicycle Mechanics in Halifax
Spring is here. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and bikes are coming out of the garage. Some of them are squeaking, creaking and moving slowly. Maybe its time you took your bike in for a free estimate and maybe pay for a tune up?
For people living in Halifax, check out:
Anchor Archive (5684 Roberts Street, 446-1788)
Bicycles Plus (1519 Bedford Highway, 832-1700)
Bike Again! (Bloomfield Centre, 2786 Agricola Street, 429-0924)
Can-Bike (call 490-6666, canbike.net/cca_pages/schedules-ns-halifax.htm)
Cyclesmith (6112 Quinpool Road, 425-1756 or 114 Woodlawn Road, 434-1756)
Ideal Bikes (1678 Barrington Street, 444-RIDE)
Mountain Equipment Co-op (1550 Granville Street)
Nauss Bicycle Shop (2533 Agricola Steet, 429-0024)
Sportwheels (209 Sackville Drive, 865-9033)
Many of these stores offer deals on bikes purchased in their stores so its good to find one and keep going back to them (unless you discover they have really horrible service). Their repair rates vary so you may want to shop around instead of just picking the closest one.
Halifax Free Skoolsessions also offers free bike repair courses bi-weekly from 11am-4pm at the North Branch Library (2285 Gottingen, halifaxfreeskool.wikispaces.com)

JOB POSTINGS
Do you own a bike shop and are looking to hire a bicycle mechanic in North America? Just email me with the job posting details and I will post it for you. (Also, please let me know when the job has been filled so I can update the posting.)
SELL YOUR OLD BIKE
If your bicycle is basically junk and you don't know what to do with it then SELL IT TO ME. I will use it for parts. I will give you a fair price ($20 to $30) for your old clunker just so I can rip it apart for parts.
If you need repairs check out my Bicycle Mechanic Services in Banbury-Don Mills.
