12 "wheelie" good places to get your bike tuned up in Calgary
It’s finally cycling season again in Calgary (unless you’re one of those die-hards who rides year-round), and your two-wheeled ride may need a tune-up.
YYC is home to over 1,000 kilometres of city-maintained pathways. With the last of the winter weather finally behind us (fingers crossed), now is the perfect time to take full advantage of the trails and get some fresh air and exercise.
Of course, it won’t be as much fun if your bike isn’t in tip-top shape.
Whether your tires need pumping up, brakes need adjusting, or your gears need to be cleaned and lubed, there are plenty of spots across the city that are happy to help you with all your bike-related needs.
Here are 12 places where you can take your bike for a tune-up in Calgary.
