High-end Bike Quickie Tune-Ups: $22.50!

Sure, we fix up and refurbish older bikes. (Our late-model Cannondale customers find that quaint!) We're more than comfortable and enjoy working with late model higher-end road and commuter bikes.

If you have a well-cared-for Cannondale, Trek, Specialized or Giant roadbike that just needs a quick tune-up and a little spit and polish, bring it by in the morning (Wed-Fri 10-2), pick it up at night (4-7). It's the $22.50 "Quickie" at Biller's Bikes. It's the last nickel cigar for regular bicycle maintenance.

Quickie tune-up includes a thorough maintenance cleaning and lubrication; brake and gear adjustment; chain check and lubrication; seat post maintenance; hub and sprocket cleaning, adjustments and inspections; tire air and inspection, and, a good steering once-over.

Call 443-502-2377 for more information and off-hours appointments. Parts from our stock are additional when occasionally required. (Be sure to ask for the Biller's Bikes "Quickie Tune-Up.")

Please note: Not all bikes qualify for the $22.50 tune-up. We'll let you know if your tune-up delves into repair work or pushes into the realm of refurbishment.

Susquehanna River/Hatem Bridge Bike Crossing Now Free to East Coast Greenway Members

Biller's Bikes RT40 Hatem Bridge/Susquehanna River Bike Bridge Crossing is now free to East Coast Greenway members with proof of membership (single and dual cyclists, only). Modest rates for larger groups requiring the 8-bike trailer will be negotiated during crossing reservation. Rate for non-ECGA cyclists is $10 per bike/rider and includes a host of trail amenities. Twenty-four hours notice is requested for all Hatem Bridge crossings.

Unfortunately, the Hatem Bridge repaving currently in progress does not include a bike/pedestrian sidewalk. Biller's Bikes looks forward to the day when state officials can provide bus/bike racks service or a bike lane and our bridge crossing service is just a fond memory.
