Local bike shops like Pima Street Bicycle and Transit Cycles have been seeing higher sales in the weeks leading up to El Tour de Tucson.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Turning the spokes on a bike in his shop, Gary Menard thought back to his childhood when he first started working on bikes.
He said besides flat tires, tune ups are his most popular service in the weeks leading up to El Tour de Tucson. “Yesterday was insane. Everybody needed something, so usually about a month before and then the day of,” Matthew said about the days the bike shop sees the most sales. “People are just trying to get out. You know, people are trying to have fun. People have been itchy because they’ve been at their house for years,” Matthews said, referring to the pandemic.
