    I brought my beater bike to On Your Left for a long-overdue tune-up, and couldn't be happier with…read morethis little shop. The open hours are limited, but I was able to easily set up alternate times to come in for both the drop-off/initial consult and the pick-up. Prices are very fair, and your options are explained in order of importance/cost-effectiveness, which is super helpful. For example, I was advised to replace my brake pads and broken axle, but hold out on replacing my worn chain and cartridge until spring/summer since the chain will rust over the winter and it wasn't yet in such bad shape that it was a danger.

    I came across On Your Left Bikes while looking online for ideas about where to buy a used bike in…read moreAnn Arbor. I was looking for a fairly budget option, a bike I can feel comfortable locking up outside in Ann Arbor and Detroit and that I wouldn't be devastated to have stolen (although I'm not inviting that...!). I swung by the ReUse Center hoping to get lucky, but lucky I was not. I checked Craigslist but the thought of setting up multiple appointments to check out random bikes, most or all of which I would probably decide against, sounded like more work than I was willing to put in. This is where On Your Left came in. I came across an online mention of On Your Left that noted the limited hours but praised the owner for his knowledge and fairness; it also said he carries more used bikes than apparent in photos currently online. I decided to investigate. Initially I drove past; the signage for the On Your Left part of the business should be larger/clearer so people know they're in the right place. I was hesitant to enter the store simply because it did not look like a bike shop on the outside. However, I was on a mission and was undeterred. It turns out that, although the shop is small, there are indeed refurbished bikes inside. I think there were around a dozen on the day I was there. They ranged in price from approximately $150 and up, and included a variety of models, men's and women's both. If I remember correctly, there was even a child's bike available. I saw a bike that looked close to what I was looking for (a women's mountain bike with a size medium frame) and asked Luciana, one of the co-owners of the shop, if I could take it for a test ride. She got the bike out for me and told me to take it for as many spins around the block as I wanted. I did take it out for 3 brief rides, making adjustments to the seat height, checking out the gears and brakes, and taking some time to think about it. She was completely patient with me and did not try to persuade me but instead let me spend time with the bike and decide on my own. I really appreciated that since salespeople who pester customers to make a purchase will drive me away from a business every time. I did end up purchasing the bike, an entry-level Raleigh model with Shimano components in perfect working order for $160 + tax. I was fine with the price given that the bike has been refurbished wonderfully and there was nothing I had to do to get it into working order. I left feeling really happy and excited about my new used bike! Luciana was wonderful, taking time to check the air in the tires, adding more so it was in the correct pressure range, and giving me a few tips. She also said I should feel free to stop by when I need the tires pumped up. If I need repairs on this bike or on my higher-end bike (that, alas, resides in a locked building apart from where I currently live), I will definitely return to On Your Left for those services. There was no condescending attitude here and no pressure to buy anything. Nothing but wonderful, personal service from business owners trying to make a go of doing the things they love, adding something unique to Ann Arbor (not easy to do!) in an out of the way location that is definitely worth seeking out. I wish them all the best in their endeavor.

    Fitmi - Awesome hand crafted signage from New Rhythm Designs in Ann Arbor! Loved this collaboration and outcome.

    I had been looking to get my bike fit for quite awhile when I came across FitMi! Jess is amazing…read more She had a well stocked location to make sure everything is just right. I have a pretty bad knee injury that's was causing me pain on the bike and pain in life for a long time. I use Garmin Vector pedals so I can see the power differences between each leg. I was displaced by 3% or more regularly when riding and after my fit it was almost perfectly even. The ride was great as well. No pain anywhere. Jess is awesome and I sincerely appreciate her awesome skillset!!

    I had been thinking about coming in here since doing 500 miles in one week and realizing that I…read moreshould probably consider getting some things measured after weird body parts started hurting and other things weren't quite right. Jessica really knows her stuff and was a pleasure to work with-- I really feel like we got a lot done, fitting two bikes, and I enjoyed learning a lot about both bike geometry as well as kinesiology and the various quirks of my own body. Foot shape, foot rotations, angles, where the cleats are on your shoes, where your butt fits on the saddle, the angles of your limbs in various places... super interesting stuff. I ended up swapping out my saddle and handlebar stem and adding a couple of other adjustments toward what now feels quite a bit better, and I learned that I was inclined toward some pretty bad posture on the bike (and why I was doing that). I will definitely recommend for anyone who is either a daily commuter, competitive cyclist or triathlete, or just rides a lot-- it is super useful to understand how your body operates and the relationship between body and bicycle. :)
