THE STORY SO FAR
You may know us already as Cycle Couture, a friendly neighbourhood bike shop in Toronto’s West End. We're passionate bike nerds who have been repairing, selling and loving bikes for the past five years. Since we took over the shop in 2014 we’ve built it into a meeting place for people who appreciate tried-and-true bicycles and accessories.
We’ve seen the retail landscape and the demands of our clients change over this time. This year we're changing what we do, how we look, and how we do business to better meet those needs.
WHAT’S NEXT?
With Hazelwood Cycleworks, we're building a membership-based and drop-in DIY repair shop that offers assisted repairs and maintenance, custom builds, and educational workshops.
During every repair and maintenance visit, you will be supervised by seasoned-not-surly mechanics so that you can learn as you work and keep your ride in great shape. Whether you know very little, quite a bit, or nothing at all, we’re ready to help you get your hands dirty.
Hazelwood Cycleworks prides itself on maintaining an open and inclusive space for any person who is interested in learning and working.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU EXPECT?
Educational seminars and workshop on bike safety, city cycling and maintenance. With different entry levels and broad scope classes, we're hoping to include cyclists of all skill levels.
We've accumulated a depth of experience by being riders, mechanics, messengers, and teachers ourselves, and it is our goal to spread that knowledge with everyone. We're looking to create an inviting environment where people can learn together, without attitude or pretense.
With a revamped pricing structure, we hope to encourage a change in the way you’ll think about bike maintenance too.
By keeping our pricing accessible for more frequent visits, wecan help you tune up your bike and maintain it so that your bike will require fewer major repairs. Some bike issues are preventable with the right maintenance, so we want to save you on expensive overhauls and new parts.
"Great service, they really care about the customer and offer advice and tips to maintain your bikes. There's discounts for couriers and the prices match the quality of the product.
Definitely would recommend for those who like cycling and want a bike mechanic who will do right by them.”

"Amazing service and top quality products! I purchased a new bike, along with a seat for my baby to ride with me, last year and have been extremely satisfied with my purchase and the after purchase care. Serge and his staff are so knowledgable and I feel so well taken care of as a customer.
It is so nice to be able to support a business that I feel complete confidence and trust in. Too rare these days!"

"I have a cargo bike and took it to almost 6 bike shops who all either couldn't help me or didn't know how to help me to put a back rack on.
Once I arrived here I knew I was in good hands. He got my bike rack on and it fit amazingly! I don't think I'd go anywhere else if I need bike help!"

"I have a bad habit of buying old road bikes and putting too much money into them, so I spend a lot of time in bike shops getting parts.
This is now my favourite place to go because they are super helpful, respectful and relaxed. I recommend this place to anyone."
