Posted on March 25, 2015 by Shaun
Bicycle Clinics at Hometown Bicycles Whitmore Lake with Dan "CycloDan" Tribble

YOU’RE MID-RIDE WHEN YOUR SHIFTERS SUDDENLY GO “WONKY”… they stutter, they stick, or they just plain won’t work. It’s an awfully long and hilly ride home to be suddenly stuck riding single-speed. What just happened, and what can you do about it?

Hometown – Whitmore Lake’s Dan “CycloDan” Tribble will give you the lowdown on quick-fix shifting tips to get you safely home, and whether the issue warrants a follow up visit to your local Hometown Bicycles service shop in TOMORROW‘s hands-on clinic:

EMERGENCY BIKE REPAIR: WHAT’S UP WITH MY SHIFTERS??

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HOMETOWN?
Vinnie from Pro-Motion Physical Therapy does… thanks, Vinnie!
Vinnie Baylerian of Pro Motion Physical Therapy in Brighton, MI
Here’s what we believe:

  • A bike shop should be MORE than just 4 walls filled with bicycles.
  • It should be a place that inspires, educates, and creates opportunities.
  • It should be a place that is actively involved in the local and cycling communities.
  • It should be a place that consistently raises the bar.
  • It should be a place that you are proud to bring your friends and family.
  • It should be a place where you WANT to hang out.

If you feel the same, then here’s how you can be a part of this revolution – become an “I Believer”! Your participation not only helps support the incorporation of these values into our new Hometown Bicycles bicycle adventure center, it also brings you special VIP privileges:

I Believe in Hometown Bicycles Gift Certificate perks
So, do YOU believe? Swing by the Brighton shop and become a part of the revolution!
