No one at a department store can tell that your bike frame is bent, its brakes are loose, and its front tire has been stabbed repeatedly with a 16-inch serrated knife. The down-to-earth bike guys at the Dutch Bicycle Company can, and they'll mend the weary wheels and sore spokes with the tender care most people reserve for friends, pets, and lonely mail carriers. This Groupon gets you a full-service, 18-point premium tune-up for just $35, just under half the normal $65 price.
For your bike to perform optimally, you should have it tuned up at least once a year, and there's no better time to have it done than the start of bike-weather season. Your tune-up includes a total wipe-down, lubrication, truing, and tire inflation. The bike experts will check and adjust brakes, gears, bearing surfaces, hubs, bottom bracket, and headset. Plus, Dutch Bicycle warranties its work for 60 days, so save your receipt.
The Dutch Bicycle bike geniuses know how to make a rust-riddled beater ride as smoothly as a hoverboard. Whether you purchased your bike from DBC or not, the experts will make your bike a well-oiled, city-traversing machine that will never burst into flames for no reason.
Reviews
The Dutch Bicycle Company's innovative designs have been featured in such publications as the New York Times, the Seattle Times, Newsweek, the Harvard Crimson, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, Boston magazine, bostonbiker.org, Wicked Local Somerville, and weeklydig.com.
The Somerville, Massachusetts, location of the Dutch Bicycle Company has received attention from noteworthy blogs like Apartment Therapy, East Somerville Main Streets, and Velo Fellow:
- It's housed in a big space that's shared with a used car dealer of some sort, which is ironic to be sure, but it does provide lots of great indoor space for test rides. – Andrew, Velo Fellow
- In my search for super cool Dutch bikes, I've found one more main resource in the US, The Dutch Bicycle Company, located up in Somerville, MA. Like Dutch Bikes Seattle, they stock the classic Velorbis frames, but they also have others that I'd never seen...And a number of hand built, one-off frames that go by the names of "Secret Service," "Downtown" & "The Woody." – Apartment Therapy

Chase Remoulade: Boy Paperboy
Chase Remoulade was a paperboy in a digital age. Business had been slow since the age of the blog began, and as newspapers struggled to stay afloat, Chase's piggy bank dwindled. Once a mighty, metallic ocean of shifting loose change, it was now down to a tinny solitary tinkle, like an oily bolt rattling in the belly of a coffee can. He hadn't had a gumball in a month. A baseball card? Two months. He squeezed the cushioned handlebars of his RoughBoy™ 16" 5-speed (with flame decal and spoke reflectors) and chimed the bell defiantly. He was a boy on a bike, up against the entire blogosphere. He breathed deeply, kicked his kickstand up, and rode west, into the sunset, toward blogosphere headquarters, toward his future. He would show them what a boy on a bike could do.
