Why support local bike shops (e.g., in Monterey County, https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/need-something-maam)?

Here’s one reason: When Cycle House Bike Co. owner Stacy heard about this 14-year-old’s situation, she was moved to help. Report from

When our sis-in-law was given a used trike, she made use of Bike Medic of Southwest Florida, to make sure it was in tip-top shape, ready to roll safely. (How’d she find Bike Medic? Her community, Paseo, schedules different vendors monthly for the convenience of the residents. Bike Medic is one of many.)

We checked out the Bike Medic website and appreciated their emphasis on respect:

“We respect all types of riders, all types of bikes. When we say 'Let's Ride’ we mean everyone.”

This lack of bike snobbery is important to Steven Oliveri, the owner and mechanic at Mobile Bike Medic, despite his being an award-winning athlete. His history includes as a team captain to represent the United States on the U-14 and U-17 National Soccer Teams, receiving two national team CAPS against Argentina and Chile.
