Wheels In Motion opened its doors on March 1st, 2011, the day I retired from 26 years of active military duty. Serving almost two decades in Europe, I biked extensively in Germany, completing multiple 320- and 400-kilometer bike trails through some of the most amazing scenery possible ... the Rhein, Mosel and Saar Rivers, vineyards as far as the eye could see, old historical towns of which the oldest was 2,000 years old (Trier!) and absolutely beautiful countryside. I also biked in Austria, France, Luxembourg and Spain. During my last seven years in Europe I was a weekly columnist in the European Stars & Stripes Newspaper, writing about walking, cycling, swimming, rollerblading and cross-country skiing events sponsored by clubs in cities and towns across countries participating in the International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV). I also wrote additional feature articles on walking and cycling tips and safety and even about pet safety! In the 13 years I participated in IVV events before leaving Europe, I walked 8,000 kilometers in 12 countries; completed 33 marathons, 5 triathlons and duathlons; cycled 1,500 kilometers and even cross-country skied 125 kilometers! The only IVV sport in which I didn’t participate was rollerblading ... the wheels are too small for my liking! In March 2006 I moved to Ottawa. During the winter of 2008 I decided to try my hand at doing more than regular maintenance on my bike, breaking down and replacing worn out components on a Rocky Mountain full suspension mountain bike I bought on eBay. By the next winter I was building my first bike from the ground up, selecting the frame and every component and learning even more as I went along. I was hooked! I just finished building my 7th bike and have another waiting in the wings! A professionally trained and Certified Bicycle Technician by the United Bicycle Institute, the industry’s leading school, I started Wheels In Motion to provide a more personalized bicycle repair experience, drawing from my 20+ years working in customer service. As my customer, you will receive free Ottawa-area* pick-up and delivery for check-up and tune-up packages, a Customer Referral Program and a Bicycle Cataloguing service free of charge. I don’t know of any other repair shop in Ottawa which provides such services! Additionally, you will always pay the best price -- you will not be charged for repairs your bike does not need. The only female-owned and operated bicycle repair shop in Ottawa, you can rest assured your bike will receive the attention and care it deserves ... and be ready for the road or trail again quickly! Call or email me to schedule a pick-up day and time or with any questions you may have about your bike or my repair services. Ride safely!
