HISTORY:
Spin City Cycle was founded on April 1st, 2001.
Located at 110-50 Queens Blvd., in Forest Hills
Queens, we are completely accessible by car, train,
and also the LIRR. In opening shop in Forest Hills,
one of our main goals was to offer a level of service
never before seen in Queens. In doing so, we had
to establish our vast experience in all levels of
riding. From road riding, to mountain riding, to
extreme sport riding. Our employees have considerable
knowledge in all these fields and actively participate
in events held nationwide. The heart of our operation
is our staff of mechanics which work on site. In
order to be the best, one must perform at a higher
level than most. Between our crew we have over 65
years worth of bicycle experience ranging from everyday
repairs, to that custom dream buildup. We also specialize
in bicycle restoration, professional custom set-ups,
as well as custom fitting. It is our hope that with
our vast knowledge of the bicycle industry as well
as the different types of riding which we are seeing
everyday, we will stand out as a leader in the field.
We have opened a family oriented pro shop. The first
of it’s kind. Please join us as we carve a
new standard in the term “local bike shop”.
THE SHOP:
Spin City Cycle consists of three main focused areas
of riding. Road, ATB, and comfort riding are among
the top forms of bicycling becoming very popular
in the states. For years mountain biking has held
the reign as the most popular and most sought after
type of riding. However, beginning with the ’99
Tour De France victory by Lance Armstrong, road
bikes has seen a huge increase in demand. Next to
road bikes, comfort bikes have taken a hold on the
American bicycling populace. We specialize in all
fields of riding. Whether it be for someone about
ready to compete in a century (100mile), or a family
looking to stroll the roads of Central Park, we
here at Spin City Cycle realize the necessity of
being able to handle each and every customer individually
and professionally. Within our walls we house a
wide range of bicycles as well as accessories for
everyone. If we do not have it, we can and will
order it.
OWNER:
With over fifteen years of retail bike experience,
not to mention top seller for over two years, under
his belt, Jimmy who was a recognizable amateur racer
and still is an avid cyclist, seeks to accomplish
one thing as a first time bike shop owner. That
one thing is complete and total customer satisfaction.
“I want everyone who walks into those doors
to leave knowing that this is a shop that they want
to do business with. Honesty, integrity, and professionalism
are more important to me than numbers. I want Spin
City Cycle to grow as a neighborhood shop where
everyone will feel welcomed and comfortable. Attention
to detail for every customer is was sets a great
shop far apart from your everyday “bicycle
shop”.
MECHANIC:
Beginning his career in Equador some 25 years ago,
our head mechanic has much to offer in the construction
and development of what will one day become the
greatest shop in Queens. With over 8 years of experience
working for the Yamaha pro assembly plant and over
15 years as a bicycle mechanic, 25 years of mechanical
experience overall, we have established one major
factor of Spin City Cycle, there is no job too big
or too small for our head mechanic. Sometimes it
is quite astonishing how he is able to find an answer
for everything. With his main specialty being wheel
building and custom assemblies, we are proud to
say, we have one of the best. |
