A bit of history...
It all began in a box truck.
The year...2015
The motivation... finding happiness in the everyday grind.
The mission... set up shop in a 21-foot-long box truck behind the Burton Coffee Stand.
So, we got to work.

We quickly outgrew the truck. In 2019 a move up town was essential.
So with an addition of a 4 month old and a healthy dose of caffeine and motivation we pulled off the move in less than 30 days.

Since then, with the support of our cycling community, our independent bike shop has been a hub for all riders. Our team of skilled technicians have all received their bicycle education through apprenticeship with Brian. Educating riders and growing strong mechanics within our industry is what we are about. Your support keeps small bike shops alive. Come say hello!
BRIAN
Owner/Operator/Master Technician
DEJA
Owner/Operator/Service and Sales
Born and raised on Vashon Island, Brian grew up playing in the woods and taking things apart for fun. He has a natural mechanical ability and is an entrepreneur at heart. In fourth grade he started his own small engine repair service and he has worked in the Automotive industry since he was 16 years old. He rides for fun, and loves repairing and maintaining his favorite machine...the bicycle.
Why do you like repairing bicycles?
Riding a well maintained and operating bicycle allows you to focus on your ride. There is a challenge and satisfaction in taking a bike that does not operate properly and smoothly and making it function like clock work. It's the satisfaction of riding a well maintained machine.
What is your favorite type of repair?
I enjoy building wheels from scratch due to the intricacy and interdependence of all the pieces.
What is the biggest mistake of bicycle owners?
Lack of routine maintenance.
