Covid-19

City Bikes is taking every possible measure to keep our clients and staff safe during this crisis:

  • Indoor store visits limitations - If you are interested in a bike, please contact us via text chat to make an appointment or to answer any questions. Currently we are only allowing clients shopping for a bike inside the store, one at a time, and all clients & employees are required to wear mask and gloves at all times. Appointments get priority service - if there is a line, text us when you are outside.
     
  • Contactless Payments - please  plan to use the secure online payment link we send you. We are avoiding cash to keep us all safe.

  • Contactless Repairs - you are strongly encouraged to use our quick drop-off service in order to get an estimate. A sanitizing fee of $6 applies to all incoming and outgoing bikes - we spray the bike down with disinfectant.

  • Bike Availability - Supply chain constraints during the crisis have seen expected delivery dates from our suppliers get keep getting pushed out due to logistics challenges that are beyond our control. It is highly recommended to pre-order a bike you are interested in (asap) to guarantee your place on the waiting list. Likewise prices keep increasing without notice, so payment in full is necessary to lock in your price.  Items we have on backorder show PREORDER ONLY (delivery dates vary). Please submit and order and we will confirm with our best guess on delivery.

  • Pickup and Delivery - Two hour delivery pickup and delivery options are available at an additional fee of $20 for the first 7 miles. Text us for more details.

  • Parts Sourcing the entire industry is struggling to keep up with demand. Just finding non-stock parts can often take longer than the repair itself. In some cases our 1rst choice may be not be available for 6+ months, or involve 2nd or 3rd choices, or a work around that may involve replacing other parts to ensure compatibility. Your tech will reach out via text to get approval for the $30 fee before we go hunting.  A sanitizing fee of $6 for disinfecting all bikes coming in and out is required.

  • Returns/exchanges of wearable items (helmets or clothing) are not permitted because sanitizing may make them unsellable.
