RideMore.ca

Update:
Spent 1h in shop on Wed, 2h on Thurs and 4.5h on Friday. Tired. Will try hours 11am-3pm tomorrow – Saturday. Next week should be back to regular schedule. Thanks for your patience and understanding. (recovery/healing seems to be on-track but tiring easily).

Original Post:
For the week of May 14 we will be on limited hours. I am recovering from a minor surgery (Monday) and don’t know what to expect over the next few days.

On Wednesday I will be in the shop between 1-2pm to receive some scheduled deliveries. Thursday and Friday perhaps similar hours or a bit longer. It all depends on how the recovery is coming along. Pretty sore right now and walking with difficulty.

Please send an email to juergen@ridemore.ca if you want to drop off a bike or if you are interested in placing an order or if you would like to discuss electric bikes. I have email access at home and check it regularly. Please include your phone number so I can call you back if it is for a longer discussion on ebikes.

Saturdays hours will probably be close to normal 11-4 depending on how this week goes. No lifting for me and I will probably be moving slowly so test-rides may be limited. I expect to be back to a regular sales and service schedule next week.

Thanks
Juergen

Today marks a special anniversary for RideMore. Three years ago on April 1, 2009 we opened our doors at 456 McArthur Avenue – our first “bricks and mortar” location and the first to use the RideMore name.

On that day three years ago I was working with a cell phone and a small table in a largely empty room with a few bikes. Not even a computer nor Internet connection on opening day. Sales were written by hand in an invoice book. Tool organization was difficult because there wasn’t even a work bench with enough room and certainly no tool board. We managed though!

A lot has changed in the past three years. Many thanks to all who have contributed to the growth and success of RideMore. It started as a vision and has grown to be the best specialty electric-bike shop anywhere. We are continuing to grow and with your support will continue to be the best place to come to buy an electric bike or to have your e-bike serviced.

Here are a few photos of the day we opened.

I just found a new resource that might be handy: Wikibooks on Bicycle Maintenance and Repair. Take a look and if I get some good feedback I will move it to the Support/Service section of this site.

p.s. If you like to do your own maintenance we supply a wide range of tools and work stands. If you are interested please ask to see a catalog.

Well I finally got around to drafting up a new Web site for RideMore. This old site has served well for far too long. It was hardly representative of all the good stuff we have to offer yet people kept coming! Thanks

So here is the new site, in basic format. More pictures and graphics to come soon but for now the essentials are here. Please feel free to Contact Us if you find errors or want more information added that could be useful for others.
