BIKEmpowered


Brian Lacy created BIKEmpowered to offer detailed riding and repair coaching both in person and on the web, to help like-minded cyclists find each other and to support their goals to ride safely and often. If you are wanting to get out and start riding with Business on a Bike but have lacked an operable bike, bike handling skills or just the confidence to ride with a group; Brian will quickly, thoroughly and affordably give you the bike services and skills you want.

Does your ride give you odd noises? Sketchy shifting or braking? Wheels not staying straight? Brian will spot your bike’s needs right away. His costs are reasonable - a typical tune up costs $40 plus parts. He’ll show you the need, give honest, clear advice – then do what you ask him to do. Simple as that. Want to learn how, even do parts of the repair? He will teach you. Follow this Repair Services link to get started.

With a brief talk about your riding goals and where and when you hurt, Brian will design for you a short list of parts (so your body feels right, not wrong anymore) and riding position coaching that will make it fun to ride again.


Classes are designed for people ages 8 and up, and of all abilities. Courses include basic and comprehensive repair, wheel truing, wheel building, handling, trip planning and
motivation. Classes are mobile, so can be held in your community. Classes can fill quickly, so visit the Class Schedule link to learn the skills you want – and become more BIKEmpowered.
