I recently bought a used bike with a flat rear tire, and brought it in to get repaired. 15 minutes later I had a new tube installed and he even cleaned off my chain for me.

It rides great now thanks to Second Cycle. They also help the community by keeping their prices low and paying it forward. Awesome shop!

I called and spoke to a very nice and helpful employee and he checked to make sure they actually had one. He told me that they could get it shipped out the next day if I paid online that same day, which I did. Sure enough they shipped it out the next day. I was very impressed with the way they packed it so it wouldn't get damaged and also their price was very reasonable. Will buy from them again if need anymore bike parts I can't find locally.

So about a year ago, I built myself a bike from a '94 Cannondale frame I found locally. When you…read morebuild something from the ground up, you get attached to it. And after the initial blush of first love passes, you want to build on the relationship because it's worth it. For me and my bike, this meant slowly, but surely, tweak things here and there to give my baby what she needs. (Yeah, I know, I'm talking about my bike. It's a metaphor. Deal with it. And knock it off with the jokes...this isn't junior high school.) Last spring, out of curiosity, I asked Kelsey and Joey what they could build up that would work well for commuting and joy-riding (on road, sadly...my knees no longer love the chop.) They provided a quote which was quite reasonable, but out of my budget at the time. I told myself that it would happen at some point, but worried that I'd put them to a bunch of research that would come to nothing. But both were extremely cool about it, and told me they'd be there when I decided to go forward. Cut to COVID, and every bike shop on the planet going nuts with massive amounts of work. My bike got more use than ever, and my venerable, but used, wheelset began succumbing to age. And no one and their grandmother had 26" wheels that I would have dared put on my bike and trusted to not kill me. So I went back to Kelsey and Joey, and told them I was ready to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, manufacturers and suppliers were and are having trouble keeping up with increased demand. But rather than proceed with lower end parts, or worse for me, higher end parts, they recommended patience. And then the parts started becoming available, first the hubs, then rims, then spokes. And then, the most beautiful set of wheels I've ever touched. I picked them up a couple of days ago. My only regret? Not having my tires already here so I could mount these up. Everything thing about them screams quality, and looks sexy while doing so. There is a science to wheel-building. Hubs and rims need to be matched. Spokes need to be measured properly. Getting the axle length right. Assembling the parts, then truing and dishing the well. Tensioning the spokes, then putting the wheels through a stress test and tweaking things until they're perfect. Everything needs to be just right. When I picked the wheels up, Kelsey ran me through the checklist of things they did to build these masterpieces. Because they are: they are beyond the science and into the art of the build as well. Look at the pictures, and you'll see that these perfectly trued, smooth spinning wheels are also drop dead gorgeous. Are they too much for this bike? Maybe...I don't think so, because these will last way longer than an off-the-rack set. Are they too much for me? Probably...I'm not Lance Armstrong, in that I'm not an elite athlete who has legs the size of tree trunks and can ride nonstop all day. (Also, I'm not into blood doping.) Am I going to enjoy these for many years to come? Damn straight. When I decide to add to my cycle stable, my first serious upgrade will be a wheelset that will be another Kelsey and Joey masterpiece. Thank you again, a million times over!

I got an electric scooter recently and have gone on a run or two on it on some bike trails. My…read morefirst run was on the Scott Pierson trail in Tacoma which ends at the Narrows Bridge. There isn't a trail that resumes right after at the bridge on the Gig Harbor side but the Cushman Trail isn't far from the bridge at all. You just cross the viaduct that goes over the toll area for the bridge , get on the road that heads west and before long you will come across a sign indicating that you are at the Cushman Trail. So arguably it's a continuation trail but probably not technically. This is a great trail as it is well maintained and is wide and has lanes for bike, walking and scooter traffic. As you head into Gig Harbor you will see a sign that you are entering the city limits of Gig Harbor. A couple of times the trail becomes part of a road or a sidewalk but the signage is great and as long as you pay attention to the signs you won't lose the trail. I was here just after the trees hit their peak with Autumn color but the Cushman Trail is great to take in in that regard. After hitting the city limits there were signs for each crossing that indicated that motorized vehicles were not allowed. So yeah. my scooter sort of fits under that. Nobody seemed to mind that though and the trail was busy. I even saw other electric scooters as well. I didn't get to ride my scooter as much as one would think because there are several pretty steep hill grades on this trail especially towards the middle to end but it was ok...I was enjoying the scenery. My scooter doesn't do hills well let alone steep ones so that's why so much walking happened for me. For the walker or the bicyclist those hill grades would be great for exercise. Cushman Trail is a very nice trail to explore much how it is with visiting the town in general.
