Curbside-Curmies

Curbside-Curmies is a Pay what you can bike repair place. More of a home based cottage industry than a bike shop. My wife and I perform repairs and maintenance for local residents who are struggling financially or are on limited and fixed incomes. Simply put, they can afford to pay rent and eat, or have their bike fixed. They buy any necessary parts, and we do the labour for whatever they can afford. We have had the pleasure of working on a few very old bikes and one just crossed our path from the Sunshine Bicycle Company in Waterloo Ontario. We aren't exactly sure of the age, but it was a wonderful experience to restore the bike to proper workinf condition.
