I'm a freelance bicycle technical in Sammamish, Washington with shop experience and certified by the United Bicycle Institute. Whether you are an individual cyclist, an organization with an important fund raising ride or a shop looking for someone to fill in during a spike in repair work -- I can help.
If you're a cost-minded cyclist and ...
- You've got a great bike that's not been ridden for a while and so isn't in rideable shape.
- Your commuting bike has developed issues you don't quite know how to fix.
- One of your rims has developed a crack and you'd like it fixed but don't want to buy a set of new wheels.
- One of your kids wrecked their bike and a bunch of stuff is bent and you want an honest opinion if it can be fixed.
- You have a tandem and your LBS just doesn't understand them.
Whether in my shop or at your house, I can get your bike back into tip-top condition and rates far lower than full service bike shops. See my Rate Sheet for charges for common repairs and maintenance. I specialize in bike refurbishing. I can take that unrideable bike and turn it into one that will provide miles of quality cycling.
If you run a bike shop do any of these sound familiar?
- Your mechanics are great problem solvers with plenty of good repair work to do, so sometimes it's a struggle to find someone to do new bike builds and lace/true standard shop wheels.
- It's the slow season and you're down to a minimum staff, but the bikes in the shop are still piling up.
- Your best mechanic needs some time off and the rest of your staff can't take up the slack.
- You committed to providing a mechanic for that charity ride, but haven't got anybody that's available that day.
- You need someone who really understands bike riding customers to work an occasional Saturday to supplement your floor staff.
I can help with high quality temporary help. I can get you through that peak in shop demand in an effective and efficient way.
If you're in charge of a fundraising ride for a charitable organization ...
I can setup a pro bono repair stand at the start of your ride or out on the course, providing adjustment and light repair work which will keep your riders on the course and happy.
