Cost effective, mobile
bike servicing in Ballarat
& surrounding areas.
Why Bikes?
Bikes can provide a fun and cheap option to get around for most short journeys. One great thing about riding bikes is that even well-used bikes do pretty much the same thing as new ones. So, in an era of sustainability, cost of living stresses and green transport, keeping older bikes serviced and running well is a great option.Good quality, well-used bikes are usually far more reliable and have a much smaller carbon footprint than brand-new, poor quality bikes from stores such as Kmart, BIG W etc.
Servicing an older bike is an investment which will keep it on the roads, paths and trails for many years to come. This means one less new bike needs to be produced and one less bike ends up dumped.
