Bicycles of Phoenix

Here at BOP we love helping our new cyclists! Here we have Lainee! Lainee is autistic and has trouble riding two wheeled bicycles so her mom brought us an older adult trike she found! We were able to overhaul this trike and make it safe and reliable for Lainee! Today Lainee's mom sent us this pic and we are so happy for her! Remember, it's not what you ride, it's just that you ride! Thank you Lainee for including us in your journey!

Did you know that Bicycles of Phoenix is an active member of the National Federation of Independent Business? The NFIB is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization, that advocates for different types of small businesses through advocacy and polling at the state and federal level. We utilize this to let our representatives know the state of the cycling industry and to gain legislative support for our local independent bike shops!

We love projects here at BOP! Here we have a 1967 Tandem that we have painted, added a springer fork, new wheels, seat, handlebars, cranks and sealed bearings! It's ready to ride and ready for a new home!

One of the most common causes of poor shifting is a dirty and caked up derailleur! Be sure to clean and wipe down your drivetrain periodically and don't over l**e your chain! Grime like this will also cause excessive wear to the pulley wheels. Notice how theses pulley wheels have been sharpened to a point by grime and a worn chain?

"The best service I’ve had anywhere really. Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable guys. I cannot recommend them enough. We need to support local businesses like this." Google Reviewer.

Once a rider claims a Grand Tour leader's jersey, it's customary for them to be immediately kitted out in a matching colour scheme. The extent of this transformation is often extreme, with teams and sponsors providing everything from specially-painted bikes and helmets to sunglasses, bar tape, and even custom name stickers.

As the Giro d'Italia hits home soil after its foray into Bulgaria over the weekend, I thought it was about time to add a splash of pink, in honour of the first grand tour of the year.
