Ready today

Bring it before ten, collect it after four.

That way your bike is ready the same day for most repairs and services.

Messaged first

We replace nothing without your yes.

More broken than you thought? Then your phone pings: the price and a photo of the broken part. You say yes or no.

Two mechanics, one long workbench.

Spaak is a bike repair shop with two mechanics and one long workbench. Thirza started in 2014 in the old cycle shop on Voorbeeldstraat, and Merijn joined in 2019. We repair everything that rides around Voorbeeldstad, from granny bike to cargo bike, and we tell you honestly when something isn’t worth it any more.
