BIKE REPAIR

At Human Power Planet Earth we take pride in attention to detail. We tune, adjust, and test ride each bike, not just for the owner, but as if it were our own. And remember, these are by no means the only options available. Quite often your bicycle only needs adjustment or repair in one or a few places. Please bring your bike by with any questions and we can give you a free estimate.

We want you to ride it again! But there is usually corrosion to deal with, even on alloy parts. We wire brush and grease rusty bolts, take the corrosion off the rims, clean and polish pivot points.

  • Consultation $80.00/Hr (1Hr Charge)
    • Bikes are fun to custom build, but parts manufacturers are NOT often compatible.  We have years of experience that help us know what works together.  We’re happy to help with simple questions, but if you’re building a whole bike, we have to charge you for our time/knowledge.
