Roll-It-Local: Support your local bike shops
When you call out “mechanical”, it can sometimes be critical to have real-time access to a qualified, quality mechanic.
It’s often tempting and convenient to buy things cheap on Amazon.
We encourage you to resist temptation and always support your local bike shop - so that you have a mechanic at the ready when you need them. To that end, New York Cycle Club has launched a program for our sponsoring bike shops that support Escape New York and club members more generally. Not to mention of course that having a shop representative advise you on bike selection and fit can be all the difference in making sure you buy the right bike for you.
To learn more about Bike Fit - watch one of these vignettes from several of the best bike fitters in the NYC area.
If you don’t see your favorite shop listed below - please encourage their owner to reach out to enyridedirector@nycc.org for inclusion.
Each of these shops will have a unique code. That will give you a discount on the price of the ride, and also an incentive to go back to that shop and buy from them.
