Bike Shop info in SE Michigan
Just moved to SE Michigan and am looking for the best bike shop in the area.
Specifically in the Detroit Metro area and into Ann Arbor. Any recommendations? Thanks, |

Just $.02 worth from someone who lives in Aurora, Illinois (but I lived in A**2 for ten years and get back on a regular basis to visit my kids); my favorite shop in Ann Arbor is located in a strip mall on the south side of Packard just east of Platt. I don't know the name of the shop. There are two other good shops I've visited. One is on the south side of Washtenaw in a strip mall across from Arborland, and another is on the northwest corner of Main and Madison. Hopefully someone who lives in Ann Arbor can help with names. :-) jeverett3ATearthlinkDOTnet http://home.earthlink.net/~jeverett3 |

General repairs or parts or what? The one just north of Michigan Ave in Dearborn is good if you like racing (they don't like tandems because their space is so small). The D&D chain ain't bad. In Northville there's a D&D and another small chain (CRS moment!) right across from each other on Main. I once took my Montague to A2 Cyclefit on Washtenaw to have the freewheel pulled so I could replace spokes. The Gen Y genius wrench attempted to use a cassette cracker on it, thereby necessitating replacement of quite a few more spokes. Can't send you to Jerry's on 7 Mile in Livonia (he closed last year after a series of bizarre buisness mishaps). Don't go to the shop that's further west on 7 Mile in the same area; the owner argues with you and his son has trouble translating whatever you are trying to convey. There was a decent shop in Walled Lake but I think they closed. (My GT tandem was $475 there. Birmingham wanted $600.) Some folks like REI (on Haggerty) in Northville. They have a lot of unusualy parts. HTH --Karen M. |
