Today I rode Rocinante (my e-trike) along MLK to 2nd Cycle, just a few hundred yards from the bicycle/bar/shop, Broken Spoke. Both spots are worth going into to sit for a spell and just observe... Ask for Gerard. Tell him Kevin sent you. You cant miss Gerard. He has a big, wide smile, looks like an oversized lineman with the Seahawks, and is very patient and helpful. I needed a few necessaries to repair tires, and a mirror big enough to see a large bus in. $7.99 Mirror special order 9135 Patch Kit $2.50 Tire Levers $3.00 Used bicycle pump $3.00 no charge Used tool carrier Sub-Total $16.49 Sales Tax $1.57 Total $18.06 2nd Cycle – Tacomas Community Cycle Center. Location: 1312 MLK St. Tacoma, Washington (S 13th and MLK) Current Shop Hours: Friday-Monday 12:00pm-6:00pm, or there abouts... What is 2nd Cycle? Our Mission 2nd Cycle is a community cycle center which supports, educates, and advocates for cyclist, new and experienced, in the Hilltop and surrounding Tacoma community. We provide community workspace, bicycle maintenance classes, literature, repair service, as well as new and used bicycle components while maintaining accessibility by providing affordable pricing. We hope that others, like us, feel empowered by learning how to fix and maintain their personal cycle. yelp review from Travis V., Tacoma, WA 7/7/2013 I live in the north end of Tacoma and I ride to the Scott Pierson trail off of south 25 in hilltop. On my way I had a flat tire. As I began the long walk to Defiance bicycles, I remember that 2nd Cycle existed. I was able to purchase a tube, use their tools and pump to install it myself for about 10 dollars. No elitist attitudes, just good wholesome, friendly service. This is the kind of place people should be frequenting. They educate and serve for the sake of your understanding. This is not true for many bike shops...anywhere! Go here and learn how to do it yourself.
