You ride a push bike or want to… it needs maintenance, just like a car, and it’s going to cost you, not like a car, but like a push bike. Still, it must be done to make your ride smoother, more comfortable. Now, if you live in Brisbane’s western suburbs the best place to check in and get the work done is Ashgrove Cycles. I had my expensive European Pinarello Prince out for a ride recently when my cycling computer seemed to kick the bucket. Luckily, on the way home and upon reaching Ashgrove I pulled in to Ashgrove Cycles and asked if they could look at it. Now, they don’t sell Pinarellos but were just as happy to check out my problem and suggest a remedy before setting me loose to pedal back the remaining seven heart attack kilometres to my house. What I love about retailers like Ashgrove Cycles is that they don’t have tickets on themselves, are happy to help other cyclists with their maintenance even if they didn’t buy from their shop, and are just there to further advance the sport of cycling and the enjoyment everyone can reap from it. From now on, that’s where I’m taking my bikes for maintenance and I will be recommending them to others when they ask me to suggest a cycling shop. Such service and honesty is a rarity in today’s world, and you’ll find Ashgrove Cycles puts the perfect spin on it.
