Congratulations to everyone who rode in the El Tour de Tucson yesterday.  Although it was quite chilly at the start, it turned out to be a really nice, warm and sunny day. KGUN 9 did an interview, with Gary, about the Tour and how it affects our business. It always gives us a great feeling to be able to help our customers get their bikes ready for their big day.   Thank you, Andrew Christiansen & KGUN 9 for choosing Pima Street Bicycle, as one of the shops to interview.   Congratulations to everyone who rode in the El Tour de Tucson yesterday.

Local bike shops benefitting from El Tour de Tucson
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Turning the spokes on a bike in his shop, Gary Menard thought back to his childhood when he first started working on bikes.
“I was 13 years old and I told my mom ‘I’m going to own a bike shop someday mom’ and she said okay,” Menard said. He’s owned Pima Street Bicycle for about 8 years.
When El Tour de Tucson comes to town every year, he looks forward to it because it benefits his sales. He said because so many bike riders need repairs, his repair sales go up about 50 percent. He said besides flat tires, tune ups are his most popular service in the weeks leading up to El Tour de Tucson. “Pulling the whole bike apart, pulling the wheels off, truing the wheels, cleaning things up,” Menard said about his services.
(unfortunately i can't get rid of the ad) but the video is next.

When Gary & I heard the story about Ramon Gonzales's Miracle on 31st Street and how, for the past 50 years, he's been making Christmas possible for so many children, we decided it was time for us to help. Sadly, Ramon passed away last December, of Covid, but his sons are continuing the tradition. They are in need of toys for children of all ages. We will have a box for donations, at the bike shop, starting Tuesday, December 7th thru Friday, December 10th. If you can't make it to the shop, you can bring your donations, on Dec. 11th, to Advanced Auto Parts, located at 1300 S 6th Ave, from 10-2. The toy giveaway is on Sunday, December 19th. (see post for details). Let's help Ramon Gonzales's Miracle live on....He'll be watching from above with a HUGE smile on his face and lots of LOVE in his heart. Isn't that what miracles are all about?

Welcome to Pima Street Bicycle!
Hi, my name is Gary Menard. My wife Jessie and I are the proud owners of Pima Street Bicycle. After many years of working, running and owning various bicycle related businesses, I have returned to my true original love - fixing bicycles!
Jessie and I have over 50 years of cycling experience, between us, and we will always
do our absolute best to serve your bicycle repair and accessory needs.
Pima Street Bicycle provides superior customer service and high quality repairs for all makes and models of bicycles. Bicycle Repair is our main focus and I've been a pretty darn good mechanic since attending United Bicycle Institute back in the 80's. That's right, I'm an old school guy who actually overhauls and fixes things, instead of just replacing it! I'd love the opportunity to get your favorite ride running the best it ever has.
If you're looking for a great deal, on a used bike, we sell bikes on consignment.
You can find a listing on the Consignment Page.
Stop by and say hello. We would love to get to know you.
Thank you for taking the time to check out our website.
Look us up on facebook as well.
