Bike Service & Repair

Bluestone Bike & Run we offers a complete list of repair and preventative maintenance services for your bicycle. We service all bikes, even if you didn't buy it from us.

Similar to your car, your bike needs to be taken in for service on a regular basis. The frequency of those visits depends on many factors, the greatest of which, is how often you ride your bike. As a casual rider, a good rule of thumb is to bring it in at least once in early Spring or once in the late Fall to receive a tune-up. Simply put, if you take care of your bike it will last longer!
