Q&A with Pete Buhl, Ceo

What makes your business stand out?
Beeline Bikes provides the ultimate convenience in bicycle service. A mobile shop with a professional, background checked mechanic that comes to the customer, fully stocked with all the parts and accessories you need for your bike (components, lights, locks, pumps, wheels, etc.). And our prices are lower than you will find in most bike shops.

What inspired you to start or run this business?
Getting bicycle service as always been difficult—getting bikes into a car and to and from the shop, being without your bike(s) for a week or more during service and having little transparency on the service actually performed. Beeline Bikes makes it easy for the family, commuter or avid cyclist. We come to the customer's location. Three easy steps: Schedule, Service, and Ride.

What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?
"This is amazing, I'm telling all my friends." "It's great that my whole family is riding again. The bikes had flat tires and were collecting dust. Now they ride better than when they were new."

What’s your favorite part about your job?
Seeing the amazement and happiness in a customer's eyes when they've used the Beeline Bikes service. Kid's generally say their bikes run better than new.
