Description of service

I got a used mountain bike from someone for a good cheap price. It was in good shape except that the tires were totally worn down. I bought new tires online because they were cheap but I don't know how to change the tires on my bike so I took it to a bike repair shop.

They changed the tires and threw away (or recycled, I have no idea) the old tires.


Review of Service

The service I received was quick and to the point. The repair person did not waste my time or his own but just changed the tires quickly and - it appeared - easily. He wasn't chatty or endearing but did the job well.


Tips

Find a bike shop near your house so that it is easy to get your bike there and back. Even with a flat tire, if the bike shop is nearby, you can just walk it there.
