Bike Bros... Customer Service still exists in Alberta!

If you're shopping for a new bike, Bike Bros is your store. We pride ourselves on having a great selection and assembling your new bike to perfection. We will take the time to find out what you want and need and get you on the perfect bike FOR YOU.

Bike Bros' Cochrane location is a short, pleasant drive from Calgary or Canmore - where many of our customers come from. We are flattered and honoured that our customers continue to travel great distances to either buy their bikes or have them serviced here. Sometimes I guess it is the size of a shop's heart that counts - not the size of the shop. This aint no Mal Wart - this is a bike shop! Better Service every day!

The Bike Bros Name

For years my life was dominated by bike contests, shows and road trips. One thing stood true - no matter where I found myself, other cyclists were warm, generous and friendly - like a brotherhood. We like to continue that tradition within the shop so Bike Bros is the name. We treat customers like old friends and we do what we can to make cycling the awesome experience it should be. We know cycling means different things to different people - getting somewhere, going nowhere, getting to work, getting fit - we understand, we can help.

Our Mission Statement

Our goal is to help people discover or continue the enjoyment of cycling - be it a passtime or an obsession, we want to make cycling the best experience possible.

A Different kind of website

You may notice that our website is different. This is a reflection of Bike Bros, the two main people at Bike Bros and the shop philosophy. It isn't just about emptying your wallet in exchange for a new bicycle. That is great fun for us but it can't be just about that.

For us, having a shop means providing information & news, keeping up with techy stuff and trying to weed out the junk, and either keeping you stoked on riding or helping you discover riding. We are your Bike Brothers, man! (sound it out in a hippy tone - it sounds good).

So remember, next time you have a fat wallet and want a bike, we're here for you. OR if you want to talk bikes, find out about trails, watch a video or listen to endless rambling about what works well on bikes - we're here for you too.

An observation

I like to look at other Bike Shop websites. Not just Calgary but all over - sometimes I'm inspired by ideas and sometimes I wonder if what I say sounds generic. One of the most common themes I read is, "we're here because we love bikes or cycling." I like to think we're the same. Maybe that isn't enough though. I believe this should be an obsession - more about, "loving that feeling of truely helping people discover all those things that make cycling such an amazing activity and lifestyle". That single statement, I believe, is the difference here. Discover Bike Bros for yourself and experience something unusual in today's economy - a shop that truely cares.

Sick of reading yet?

November is a tough time of year for me. Trade shows are over and I have to look at just about every product on the market to make sure that Bike Bros will continue to offer "BEST BUYS". At the mega shops, they have the room to put, for example 8 different brands and models on the floor at every price point. Of those 8, 2 will be excellent buys, 3 will be OK buys and the remainder will basically offer crap value for the dollar. I don't have room in my life for bikes that are bad value and certainly don't have room in the store for these "dawgs". You want to be sure you don't end up with a dawg? This is a bike shop, not a pet store - no Dawgs here!

Something else, OK. In grade 9 I took a class called Propoganda. Ever since then I have been very wary of product marketing - simply put, I'm sceptical, I research the products we sell like crazy. At the end of the day, I want to feel proud of what we sell. If you're looking for someone to rebabble marketing hype - please shop elsewhere. If you're looking for a place that combines marketing skepticism, 22 years of industry (yes, retail, manufacturing and distribution) experience, engineering education, and a truly better understanding of bike mechanics, fit, and function then Bike Bros is for you. Research your purchase, use us as a research tool, keep an open mind and you'll end up realizing our products are the best available and we follow it up with superior service.

Ok, now THIS is the last thing to say. Treat everyone you meet like they matter, treat the earth with some compassion, keep smiling and ride a bike.
