  Light Bikes Break Repairs and Service

  Apr 2018 - now

  Head Wrench-Turner

  My whole life I've loved bicycles. Riding them or hanging around shops as a teenager annoying the owners. I've been repairing my own bikes for years, as well as friends and family. My focus at Light Bikes Break is to just to keep people riding. From basic tuneups, wheel adjustments, new component install and setup to refitting several salvage bikes into one functioning bicycle. Bikes shouldn't sit in a garage or out in a shed because of a broken cable or flat tires. A happy customer loading up a repaired bike, test riding a new build, or chasing their kids down the street on their refreshed ride is always amazing. Show less
