Advantages 

Maple Ridge Cycle Specialty Bicycle Retailer

Mass Merchant /
Department Store

Comfort + Bike Fit

People come in all sizes and need the expert fit a bike shop can provide. The result: a safe, comfortable ride on the right-sized bike, properly adjusted.  You also get a FREE 6 month follow-up fittings and adjustment.

Mass Merchants have few frame sizes and no experienced staff to make adjustments. They usually don’t offer follow-up adjustments. The result: a poorly fitted and uncomfortable bike. 

Selection

We have a wide selection of models, sizes, styles and colors. Our expert staff coaches you through the process of finding the right bike for you.

Selection is usually limited and staff expertise is usually limited or non-existent.
 
 

Safety

A bike is a vehicle. Ours are assembled in-store by experienced mechanics, and then fit to the customer. Tune-ups and instructions assure a safe ride.

Some sell unassembled bikes; few customers are experienced at this. No tune-ups or safety tests are available. Many buyers eventually bring these bikes to bike shops to be properly assembled or adjusted.

Value After The Sale

Our experienced staff welcomes post-sale service and adjustments, free for the first 6 month.  Our job is to satisfy your needs and help you fully enjoy the ride.
 

After a bike is bought from a mass merchant, you have little or no help after the sale, either if problems occur or if you just want help to enjoy your bicycle more. 

Accessories

Bike shops offer a wide selection of quality accessories in many colors, sizes, models. Our staff consults you to find the right accessory and helmet.

Usually a limited or poor selection of accessories is available, with little or no help to choose the right one. Cheap, knockoff products can create safety issues. 

Warranty 

All bikes have full warranties. Most problems are resolved in-house. We stand behind our bikes with experienced mechanics and riding experts.

Usually have manufacturer warranties only, making it impossible or cumbersome to get a bike fixed or adjusted

Expertise

We employ knowledgeable and enthusiastic staffs, who are cyclists with detailed knowledge in the field. Their only job is satisfying your cycling needs and we service and ride year round.

 Ski in the Fall / Winter and Bike in the Spring / Summer.  Seasonal hourly paid staff selling you what they have in stock with no after sales and service support.
