We believe that by providing a quality product with exceptional service, people will enjoy riding more, drive less, connect with their community and the world around them, and find fulfillment in everyday transportation with their families.
As of 2023, we joined forces with Priority Bicycles. This new partnership has allowed us to grow and support our customer base even more. We now sell and service their line of low-maintenance, belt-driven bicycles out of our Mill Valley showroom location.
We are currently seeking a skilled and experienced lead bicycle mechanic to join our team. Along with the customary duties of a shop mechanic, you will also be looked upon to become an Xtracycle product specialist to assist our customer support team and product manager.
