Bike Shop

We are a non-profit Arizona Corporation. Here we will service and sell new/used bicycle's. Though we will have some new items, our focus will be on used parts. Bikes are donated to us, we refurbish them, and then place them for sale. A portion of our proceeds are donated to Barrow Neurological Institute for brain tumor awareness and research.

    I bought my first road bike here a few months ago - on the advice from a much more expensive shop just up the street. It is a great beginners bike and they took the time to walk me through their inventory and check out what they had in back to make sure I got the right bike for me. You feel welcome every time you walk in. They've always been able to fix my bike on the spot and had a few jokes from me at the same time.

    Great bike shop. I've been going there for years. Rent a bike, buy a bike, donate a bike, they have it all.
    I've purchased 2 bikes from GMF and my #1 reason for loving this place is the service, awesome service, plain and simple. They won't just sell you a bike, they'll service it like it was their own. I'm serious!
    Also, easy to get to right off the 51.

    Great bike shop for so many reasons. 1. Great service - Lee and David look deep to find what's wrong and the best way to fix what ever ails your bike. They give you options if you cannot afford the right fix today.
    2. Selection - Finding a decent used bike is hard. Being able to come into a real shop and look at used bikes is rare. Be patient and you can score a crazy bike deal. My son has a $1,500 road bikes I picked up here for a couple of hundred. Now if I could only get him to ride it.
    3. Donations - Have an old bike you don't need and don't want to hassle with CL or eBay? Donate it to the shop and take tax write off. No hassle and no scary people (like me) coming to your house.
    4. Message - The story behind the shop is LOVE straight up. Love of biking, love of family, love of friendship, and love of community. Makes me feel good every time I'm at the shop! That's 3 or more times a week.

    Whether you have a road bike, mountain bike or beach cruiser these guys will take care of you. They take time to chat, educate and ensure you are pleased. Plus they hold true to their mission of using bikes to help end brain cancer. You can support your bike habit and a great cause at the same time. Definitely my go to bike shop!

    Wonderful to find a bike shop with knowledgable staff (Randy is awesome) and the ability to fix as opposed to replace a bike. Skilled mechanics with a passion for their craft are a rarity in today's economic climate. Find a new bike or salvage your old investment. Shop is filled with accessories as well as both new and old parts. Don't buy a bike (or throw away and old one) without stopping here first and talking to them. They are generous with their knowledge.
