Invermere's Premier Bike Shop
Bikes
We carry a wide range of two-wheeled art from Norco, Kona, Pivot, Santa Cruz, and super rad E-Bikes from Pedago. Try not to drool on them too much.
Gear
Nothing is worse than getting stopped by the fashion police on the trail. Choice threads by Endura and IXS will ensure that won’t happen.
Service
Bikes are like relationships. They may work great when they’re new, but if you don’t give them the attention they deserve, they’ll start squeaking and spurting oil everywhere.
There aren’t many guarantees in life, but our service is always guaranteed. In the unlikely event that our work falls short, we’ll make it right.
About Us
We're the old new face in town... After a 5 year hiatus, Rob, founder of Rob's Bicycle Works, is back and radder than ever!

We pride ourselves in providing outstanding customer service, expert advice and quite simply the best repairs you can find, anywhere.
Whether it be a trusty old steed, or some new-fangled carbon sexyness, we will dial her in beyond perfect. Obsessing over the details may be cause for a little therapy in some circles, but not in ours.
