With Summer right around the corner, we are gearing up for our busiest season of the year. With that, we thought we’d post an update about some changes to the shop, recent inventory ups and downs, service requests, shop events, and more. Find out all that you need to know about what’s what with a very Wooden Wheels Summer below.

Shop Service
Summer is usually our busiest season. Service has been steadily increasing over the last few months and we are seeing a huge uptick in service requests and upgrades since moving to our new location at 208 Louviers Drive, Newark.
Currently, we are a week out on repairs and we anticipate being upwards of a month out within the next two – three weeks. That being said, it would be a great idea to bring your bike in sooner rather than later for any service, upgrades, or adjustments (especially before you sign up for any of the rides listed above!)
Check out our service page https://woodenwheels.bike/services/ for SOME of the services that we offer.
Inventory Updates
BIKES! BIKES! BIKES! With over 60 bikes on the floor of the shop right now, it’s (almost) safe to say that bicycle inventory is starting to return back to normal. Some hot sellers are listed below.
Be sure to swing by the shop and check out our full inventory of bikes! All new bicycle purchases include a complimentary tune-up from us, along with the security and know-how that comes with working with your local bike shop.
SHOP KITS ARE BACK!
Lastly, we have re-upped on shop kits in a variety of sizes. Each kit includes a premium Primal Jersey with three rear pockets and an associated bib short for $249.99. Look good, feel good, ride great!
