Here are 5 of the best places to fix your bike in Vancouver

The sunshine is out and temperatures are hitting double digits again, which means it’s time to dust off the wheels because biking season is here!

Plus, cruising in the bike lanes is a great way to get some fresh air and exercise while we practice social distancing.

Your ride may need a tune up or repairs, so here’s 5 places you can take your whip for a fix.

With that said, many businesses are seeing restrictions because of COVID-19, so it’s a good idea to call the shop ahead of time to see if it’s possible to make an appointment first for the day you want to give your wheels a facelift and learn their safety protocols.
