DreamBikes of Madison is Amazing

The winter is very hard on bicycle brakes, harder than I would intuitively expect. I estimate that my brakes wear out about eight times faster in the winter than in other seasons. The salt and sand gum up a bike chain about as much I as I would intuitively expect given that the front tire constantly kicks road dirt up on the chain.

I took my bike in to DreamBikes thie past Friday evening. I hoped I could have it back this weekend, so I would have it for this week. I know DreamBikes is inexpensive, so I figured it would cost about $12 for both sets of pads, another $12 for the labor, and maybe $50 for a cleaning. They had it ready the next morning, and the total cost was $10.55!

I have consistently found DreamBikes to have the friendliest service of the bike shops I have tried in Madison. There are many good bike mechanics working at the the other shops, but it doesn't take too many visits before you encounter someone with an attitude. They want to tune up a bike for someone who gets his bike out two weekends out of the year and has money to burn on the hobby. DreamBikes has a map showing all the places you can get to within two miles. They understand people use bikes for transportation.

Even if you're an occasional bike rider, you simply cannot get a bike fixed up at a shop less expensively or with better service than taking it to DreamBikes.
