Bring us your bikes!


Give us your rusty, your poorly wired, your neglected masses longing to be free.

Before you take off for parts unknown, consider donating your (t)rusty steed to us at Quad Bikes. Next year's freshmen will certainly appreciate your generosity when they find our shop chock-full of lovingly refurbished bikes.

For the capitalists among us, we will buy bikes that come to us in decent shape.


 

Announcement:
If you have a bike that you need to get rid of, please consider donating it to Quad Bikes -- we are in need of bikes and will put it to good use. Depending on the condition of the bike, we may be able to give you some money for it.


Shop Hours:

Tue - Sat, 1:00pm - 6:30pm

We love to put people on bikes. Voluntarily, of course. Whether you are a first-time biker, or you are intimate with the interior of a seven-speed internally-geared coaster brake hub, you probably should come by for a visit.

If you're new to biking, we'd love to get you hooked up with a low-maintenance used bike, show you the basics of bicycle care, and teach you about bike safety. Just drop by and ask about getting started with one of our bikes.

If you're a track-standing cred-machine, come by and talk shop. Shop time is $8/hr; working with a mechanic's assistance is $18/hr, and billable in minute intervals.

If you'd like to learn more about bicycles, you should consider volunteering for Quad Bikes. It's sort of like a barter system - work for education. Or, as my alma mater says, "learning and labor." Just drop in or shoot us an email, and we'll tell you everything there is to know about our volunteer program.
