Bike Shop is Back!

Our friends at FrameWork Cycle & Fitness suffered extensive building damage during the recent snowfall and had to shut down for a couple of weeks. But, they are back open again with their winter hours.


Tuesday - Friday 9:00 - 5:00 and Saturday 9:00 - 1:00


They are celebrating with a 1-year no interest promo for purchases over $500 OAC. They also have a special on bikes and fitness equipment this week. 25% of all in-stock non-electric bikes. 15% off all in-stock electric bikes (plus the $500 Electrify rebate). Lots of fitness gear and snowshoes at rock bottom prices.


Sounds like a great time to stock up or even get a new bike!
