Hey Guys,

Will be in town in Nov and wondered what are the good bike shops in CGY?

TIA

Check out Bike Bros. Not in Calgary but well worth the extra 20 minute drive.

Pretty crazy that the first major skills area and pump track is an indoor facility in Calgary... There's the fish creek one but they still haven't built any jumps. Cant understand why there aren't multiple ones in communities across the city with a population over a million, Chestermere's is really sweet for a small town. Would love to see a Velosolution's track in town one day, always wanted to ride one of those.

Chestermere's bike park is so good! its one of the best surrounding calgary in my opinion, I wish I lived closer though

We're having a Trail Day this Sunday, October 22nd at 10:00 AM!

We'll be benching in a new section on 727 as well as doing some general maintenance on the rest of the trails.

Meet up at Ing's mine and re-group there for the Volunteer BBQ afterwards. Salute

Best place to get wheels built in the area? What is a reasonable price to expect? (I've got hubs and rims)

$70-80 a wheel in labor is about the going rate in calgary. Depending on spokes $1.5 to 6ea. Shoot me a pm. I can get you sorted out through my shop.
