Bike Shop Open for Business!

The GRS "Ridey Tighty" bike shop is open for spring business! All bikes accepted - get yours tuned up for a season of riding! Our bike shop has been operating for over 10 years, and repairs roughly 100 bikes every year - students are trained and do quality work.

A1 students must have their bike tuned up this spring, and our shop does it at a relatively cheaper price to assure that all students have a safe ride. See below for discount availability!




We offer two kinds of tune-ups: Basic ($45) and Full ($65). A basic tune-up includes: inspecting all components for damage and wear, minor wheel truing, cable adjustment (brakes and shifting set), minor cleaning, light drive-train clean and lube (cassette, chain, front and rear derailleur), check headset, stem, bottom bracket and adjust as needed, and inflating tires to proper pressure. A Full tune-up includes everything in a Basic tune-up plus a detailed removal, cleaning, lubrication, and reinstallation of your bicycle's entire drive-train.


Additionally, the GRS Bike Shop always appreciates donations of good quality bicycles. We use some of these throughout the year for students to practice mechanical skills, and others as spare/loaner bikes for the A1 Bike Trip. If you have a bike that you would like to donate, or a bike that you'd be willing to lend to an A1 student who would like to borrow a bike for the trip, please contact Abram Shapiro to discuss.

Please sign up at your earliest convenience for a tune-up at the GRS bike shop, here: http://tinyurl.comGRSBikeShop2018
A1 Early Bird Special! Take 10% off the cost of a tune-up if you schedule your tune-up to occur during the first week available to your student!
