Steeker, of course you know Cycle Therapy. You've shopped there (albeit on the main floor - we're downstairs now).

We're at 1114 Queen Street East. North side of the road, down the stairs. At this time of year we're basically a repair/service/special project (bike build-ups, custom wheelsets, etc.) shop but in the main season we sell parts/accessories/apparel to utilitarian cyclists and people who ride a ****-tonne because they really enjoy bikes.

Phil's the owner and he comes from a DH/FR/BMX/XC background and has dealt with and grown fed up with a lot of industry bull**** over the years. He may not be the fasted guy to get things done because he's so busy all the time but he also won't give you any BS sales pitch on something just because it's new. John is the head mechanic and comes from a speed skating/track/retrogrouch background. He can make a fiiine ass wheel (be it 404s on CX-Rays or Open Pros on Competitions) and anything vintage is also right up his alley. Meghan's the junior mechanic but she secretly holds the entire shop together. She's always my ace in the hole for when something needs to happen on an impossible timeline. Also, she's a complete genius when it comes to understanding things in a mechanical sense, as in how things go together to work properly. She just *gets* it a lot more than others I've worked with.

I track down weird **** for orders and obsess about bike tech. I also constantly promote 29ers and cyclocross bikes and singlespeeds to whoever will listen. Eventually when the store has a budget for it I'm going to launch a little e-commerce site as well.

... so that's Cycle Therapy.
