Shickluna Bikes and Darts - 10% off accessories 15% off legally required accessories

Shickluna bicycles on Hertel Avenue, is a neighborhood store. Mouse (the owner's infamous nickname), admits that his customers are less like customers and more like friends of the shop. That's not some corny sales catch; Mouse seems genuinely content with the community of people that love his shop. It's no surprise that people value the service at Shickluna. They carry the gamut of Giant brand bicycles and take a lot of pride in the quality of their product. They are also a full service repair shop and perform "tons... tons of repairs," so certainly, the word has gotten around that they do great work. With all the repair work, their store is flooded with gratitude from customers whose bicycles have been resurrected and are again ready for fun.

Mouse says though that the best part of the job is selling bikes to kids. Bicycles are rites of passage for youth. They represent a great step forward into independence and adulthood. Mouse (short for Mustafa) really enjoys being a part of that monumental experience. He's glad to see the joy in kids and their parents as they remember their first bike. Some cyclists never lose that joy, but nothing beats your first bike. So stop into Shickluna, bring your nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, little sisters and brothers and give the gift of a milestone. Get your own bike tuned up for spring. Buy that mountain bike you always dreamed of and get crazy in the Adirondacks. Ask them about all the Dart supplies they sell. Ask about their professional racing team. Head over and make friends and if you bring your Bicycle Benefits sticker adorned helmet, you'll get 10% off of all accessories and 15% off of all legally required accessories.
