Non-profit and community involvement

"Einstein said, "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." The weather is rapidly getting warmer in Boston and I'm going bike shopping. Quad bikes is a nonprofit bicycle shop that fixes up hundreds of abandoned bikes and resells them for cheap to the Boston community. You can even sign up for bike maintenance classes here."----Google Review.

Okay here is the first bike shop that I left the name in the review.......I left it in because I felt the customer is explaining the core of all business--COMMUNITY.

The shop is making a difference in their community, they are not giving up on used equipment; they are fixing them up with the passion of the sport to help the people of Boston obtain a good reasonable bike for the sheer pleasure and enjoyment of riding one.

Sports of all nature are growing more and more expensive--the aspect of just getting a glove, bike, ball, bat, mitt, racket etc......is becoming more and more expensive.

But the shop is a niche shop, it is kinda like the island of misfit toys; they were and are not giving up on used bikes--we can make a difference with a business too effect others...

ALL bike shops are different, as this one is to others....But I find it very interesting that this bike shop focuses on re-selling old ones to entice others to be a part of the the bike movement at an affordable price.

The other part of the review states--they even offer maintenance classes...WOW!---giving customers more than they want...OVER delivering their service to others.

Let me know your thoughts---or even a bike shop next to your house that you would like too talk about on this---I love bikes, bikes shops and the art of outstanding customer service.........
