Consistently warmer weather is just around the corner. So, if you haven’t already been biking around town this winter thanks to this year’s milder temperatures and lack of snow – or like many Evanston residents, live car-free and use your bike as your main form of transportation – it’s getting near time to break it out, which means that it’s also getting near time for a tune up. (Of course, year-round bikers should also consider a seasonal tune-up to keep their bicycle in top shape.)
Likewise, many of you might even be considering getting a new one and want to get a jump on it.
Whatever your plans this year, the local bike shops in Evanston offer a spectrum of options to cater to every biking need. From expert repairs to top-notch gear, you can find it in Evanston. To help you find the bike shop that meets your needs, we compiled the following list. Best yet, some local bike shops are even offering winter tune-up specials – good for them because it keeps their business flowing and good for you because it ensures you won’t miss out on taking advantage of all the warm weather ahead of us this summer due to a backlog of bikes in the shop.
So, why not visit them today? Here are your options:
