Time to let the proverbial cat out of the bag. I'm going mobile in June. The plan is to turn this cream puff into a mobile bike shop. The new name of the business will be Jade Mobile Bicycle Repair. I'll be showing up at various venues and events, I may still be found at my current location at 555 N Commercial Rd, and I'll make house calls.

The service menu will change slightly but will be focusing on keeping your bike rolling by performing general maintenance tasks, flat repairs and replacing worn parts. My goal will be to keep rideable bikes on the road.

My business model won't change. Labor is still my business. Parts are a pass-through charge at what I actually pay plus shipping. My labor and tune-up rates will still run below the brick and mortar shops.

Appointments still preferred but now with a 1-2 hour window.

What I cannot do:

Being a mobile service, I'll be set up to do repairs that can be done efficiently in the field — not full rebuilds or major overhauls. Bikes with major neglect are beyond what mobile service can handle.

My service area will be mostly Palm Springs and Cathedral City. House calls will have a trip charge of $25.00. Out-of-area calls priced accordingly.

To book an appointment once I'm fully mobile, send me a DM or call 760-660-0010.

In the interim I'm still at 555 N Commercial Rd Unit 7, just off Alejo and Farrell.

Sound good? Let me know what you think!

🚲 Hey Palm Springs cyclists!

CV Cycling Community Cycle Shop is hosting our very first Fix-It Drop-in on Saturday, May 23rd — and yes, it's completely free.

Bring your bike and we'll help you fix it. You turn the wrenches, we supply the tools, the grease, and the know-how.

Check the flyer for details and simple rules. See you Saturday morning May 23rd! ☀️

Keeping bikes rolling for those who need it most — to school, work, and play.

In an effort to promote good bike maintenance, I've created an easy list that you can customize to help you remember when to performance tasks and habits that will prolong your bike and keep it safe.

The pic is an example of the printable form. The link takes you to the form so you can customize it. Your email address or phone number is only so I may let you know when our seasonal specials begin.

After a very, very busy winter, I'm finally taking a vacation beginning Friday 10th, having some upgrades done by Trek Bicycle Palm Springs to my bike on Saturday, and then taking some well deserved fun rides on CV Link.

See you on the other side everyone.

I love to post when a 40 year old bike gets an overhaul and a new life. This Bianchi Grizzly was in storage for 25 Years and can now be found on CV Link on occasion.

Prices on everyday parts are up 50%. Buying off brand non-OEM is sometimes not advisable and buying Shimano from Amazon or eBay is questionable at best.

Tariffs hurt and yes, WE pay them, not the exporter. Facts matter.

FOR SALE:

Widely regarded as the last true Wisconsin-built Madone—hand-laid OCLV carbon from Trek’s peak U.S. production era, before all flagship manufacturing shifted overseas.

Read the details in the listing.

I don't know more than what is stated here nor can I advise you on continued use if you own one of these bike/battery combos.

CV Link is officially open. I lifted all these photos from PS City Government's page. Note that the one bit under Ramon Rd is under construction and will be done next month but the 12 miles of path are otherwise all in place.

Fun Fact, Palm Springs has the longest segment of all the cities in on CV Link. I use it every day on my way to me shop and we go to Trader Joe's often making the journey quite safe.

If you want to know a safe route through Rancho Mirage, contact me at Jade Bicycle Detailing And Repair or DM me here.

I'll be happy to give you a copy.
