Blackstone Bicycle Works

 

At Blackstone Bicycle Works we understand the essential chemistry of kids and bikes.

We run a bike shop, yes, but our goal is to weave local youth into all levels of our activity, from learning basic bike skills to facing the entrepreneurial challenges of a bustling small business.  All year-round, you can find young people at Blackstone working, learning, and having a good time while doing it. Your participation, as a customer, donor or volunteer enriches your community and the lives of our young members.  Learn more about our youth program here.

What else do we do?

Repair Services:
Let us help you with the wobbles, squeaks, and flats. We offer quality, low-priced repair and tune-up services.

New Merchandise:
We've got what you need to keep rolling safely. We seek a balance of price and quality on new bike gear that meets your basic needs. We won't try to sell you something you don't need, and we won't sell junk. Lights, locks, helmets, pumps, and other basic accessories--we've got them.

We sell used bikes:
We offer a broad array of styles and prices on tuned-up, cleaned, and safety-checked bikes that keep flying out the door!  Prices start at $60, and go up depending on the number of new parts needed to refurbish the bike, and the general quality.  Give us a call to see what we have on the line today. 

Used parts:
If you like to do-it-yourself, feel free to come and browse our aisle of used parts.  We've got buckets of used saddles, bins of brakes, derailleurs, etc.  Most used parts are between 5 and 15 dollars or, in the case of higher-end parts, the same as the going rate on EBay.

Classes:
In addition to our youth program we are planning on offering evening bike mechanic classes for adults. Give us suggestions about what kind of classes you'd like to see. If interested, send an email to blackstonebikes@gmail.com.
