Before wintertime hibernation, bicycles forage and fill their inner tubes with enough sustenance to feed training-wheeled cubs come spring, a noble act that often leads to serious exhaustion. Help spin the spokes of life with today's Groupon: for $39 you get a bike tune-up, 8-point safety inspection and secure winter storage (up to a $120 value) at South Shore Cyclery in Cudahy.

Bike maintenance is important to the life of every two-wheeled mode of transport, and the mechanics at South Shore Cyclery are highly trained to make sure all velocipedes stay in shape. Bike tune-ups tighten loose spokes cables, examine and renew adjustments, lubricate dry joints and chains, and feed hungry bikes the healthiest gourmet Greek fare. While servicing the bike, an 8-point safety inspection checks everything from frame stability to brake pads, making sure riders are as safe as they can be atop their self-propelled steeds. To facilitate proper hibernation, bikes are stored in a safe, secure storage area up until April 1, 2011. While dropping by, customers are welcome to peruse South Shore Cyclery's Bicycle Museum, which is free and open to the two rotating eyes of the public. The trained mechanics of South Shore Cyclery have been fine-tuning bicycles for over 20 years, and will happily answer any questions their customers may have about their rides.

Reviews

Four Google Mappers and three CityVoters give South Shore Cyclery an average of five stars:

• Great customer service. – Mary R., CityVoter
• One of my favorite bike shops in the Milwaukee area, I try and bike or drive down to this shop whenever I need something for my cycle. The service has always been great, the employees don't push extra gear at you just to get you to spend more money, and they have actually recommended ways to save me money before. All in all, great selection, great company. – Google Mapper who reviewed on 3/27/2008
