Okay San Antonio, be prepared for friendly neighborhood service, quality used and new products, fun local events, and all the free advice you could ever want. With the grand opening of The Wiggle Rim (Apr. 2oth) that is exactly what we are finally receiving. Unlike any other bike shop in town, The Wiggle Rim is a mix of what you actually need and want, not just what someone tells you you do. Located on the corner of S. Presa and Grove St. just south of the tracks, we look forward to having you stop by for repairs, used bike sales, new and used parts and components, new bike orders, or just advice from someone who knows the nuts and bolts of bike riding and repair in San Antonio. Anyone stopping by is sure to see a face they remember from a High Life ride. Or a Second Saturday ride. Or even the High Heel Bicycle Club or Street Hooligans. Unlike typical bike shops in our city (even the ones that are "neighborhood owned and operated"), The Wiggle Rim is more of a bicycle collective. Have JR true up your wheels. Have Flip paint your frame or start your fixie conversion. And everyone is encouraged to participate. Have some old parts you want to trade? Need a weird part from an old bike? Come by. We might have it or know someone who does. Maybe you just have some old frames or bikes sitting around the garage taking up space and want to donate them to be fixed up and returned to circulation. Also in the works are weekly rides, BBQ events at the shop, and co-ordination with the city to be more active in maintaining bike lanes, traffic awareness, etc. So come on in and talk to someone who has been in your shoes and actually remembers what it was like to want to fix up your own bike instead of ordering a cookie-cutter one from a catalog. Or if that's what you want, we'll show you a couple catalogs to look at.
The bottom line is we are here to keep you riding. And that's all any bike shop should ever strive to do.
FUCKEN 'A'
