Catching Air
One of our customers, Scotty, is a powerful mountain biker. He got some serious air and wanted to share it. Special thanks to Aaron Perez for taking the photo and sharing it. You can find more photos of Scott and Aaron's work at: www.flickr.com/photos/aaronmichael
Keep flying high Scott!

High end bikes
Occasionally, we come across a SICK bike - or help create one. This beautiful, tricked out 2009 Fuji Aloha 1.0 is Scotty's - a friend of the shop. Aren't the wheels ridiculous? As Julio and I agree, it looks like a spaceship!There is always a way to get high end bikes from our shop. Just because you don't see the top of the line on our walls, it is only because we choose not to simply have inventory "hanging out" in the shop. Go ahead and ask us, we can likely get it for you!
Repair, Refurbish, Resell
2011 marks the return of "previously owned" bikes to our sales floor. Today's economy makes affordable, high quality bicycles a necessity rather than an option. Heeding the demand of our customers'; we will resume selling bikes on consignment. Many customers want a higher-end road bike without forking over thousands of dollars for a brand name, new component group or one that a ‘famous racer’ rode.
We will feature top-notch bikes selected by our technical staff, for their superior condition and "bang for the buck", featuring front-line, barely- used bikes that (e.g.) sold for more than $5000 new, that you can now acquire for less than $800!
Our previously-owned bikes come with a one-year warranty (parts and labor) as we will have thoroughly inspected, cleaned and adjusted the bike as part of the intake process when we bring the cycle into our shop. Most of these bikes will be from past customers, so we know the original manufacturer's track record and also ensure we can get parts for whatever may need attention in the future.
The most important aspect of a buying a bike like this is you get the support of Main Street Cyclery as long as you own the bike. Many of our customers have tried to get by with a “big-box” (Target or Wal-mart) bike only to have to bring it to us to try and get it running. Others have tried to save money purchasing online and end up in our Service center-paying us all the money they thought they would save; just to get the bike working correctly. If you're considering upgrading to a lighter, performance oriented bike, give us a chance to put you on a previously owned cycle from Main Street Cyclery.
We proudly provide Knowledge and Service for the full spectrum of your cycling needs. If you are intent on purchasing online, swing by and we will assist in getting you on the right size and model. Then have your bike shipped directly to us and we will build it out of the box, then “fit you to the bike when you pick it up.
Finally, if you have a good bike but it's not running as well as it should,or, just needs a little love; check out the menu on the service center page. Our prices are very competitive and or technicians are top-notch, so we'll get your baby all shiny and new so you don't have to buy a new one.
Any way you look at it - Main Street Cyclery is the place to go for friendly, knowledgeable service for you cycling needs.

Rain, Rain, Rain
Well, it has been a wet holiday season, particularly for cycling. Most Southern Californian riders never appreciate how good we have it in comparison to most of the rest of the country. The last two weeks have been a bit of a challenge for most of us though. Gloom, regular rain and steady showers have dominated this holiday season.
Rain just makes riding more of a hassle. Your bike is thrashed, it needs to be cleaned and readjusted after nearly every ride. After a few days though, most regular riders just push through and take their bike out anyway. If so, be extra careful because of hydroplaning and braking distance. Also, visibility is often limited.
Ride safely!
