Wow! You won’t find fantastic deals like this easily within the GTA. We won’t always be able to offer fantastic deals like these, but when we do you will certainly smile; as long as we have the size, colour, model, etc, you are looking for, otherwise you might be jealous of the deals people are getting. All our deals are based on in-stock models, sizes, colours, etc. (Please note, charity ride or other discount programs are not applicable to deals listed on this page. Thank you.)

With three stores, we house the deals at our different locations. If you would like to take a look at any of the specials in person, please call the store closest to you and we will happily ensure the items are transferred to that location (please allow 24 hours notice).

GEARS LIST

Welcome to the GEARS LIST. At GEARS, we are pleased to be launching our new consignment program, GEARS LIST, where take product in from our customers for resale. The program is aimed to get more people connected with the products they desire sooner.

Of course, every product of GEARS LIST is GEARS Certified and entitled to the privileges of GEARS ownership including GEARS Advantage on all bike purchases including lifetime minor adjustments and a free comprehensive sizing. Whether you are buying a bike, or parts and accessories we will guarantee the product to be in good working order for 15 days.

All bikes and parts are required to undergo a thorough inspection before being judged worthy to be sold through any of our GEARS locations. GEARS works with the consignee by helping to set a fair price to the buyer and ensuring optimal returns to the seller.

Bike Fitting

admin — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:07:28 +0000

Proper bike fit will naturally enhance performance because you are comfortable and relaxed. If you are on a bike with incorrect proportions for your body you’ll spend most of your ride struggling to find a better position. This can result in negative experiences or worse physical damage. At GEARS Bike Shop we have the tools to size you and fit you properly on your new bike to ensure you buy the right bike, or you can get fit on your old bike to improve on last year’s ride and last year’s tri time.

The GEARS Advantage

Randy — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:32:18 +0000

What is the GEARS Advantage? It is, knowing every purchase you make at any GEARS location is backed by twenty-five years of experience. We welcome customers of all ages and abilities into our shops to receive tailored service from experienced technical staff.

Gears is a cycling focused products and services company. Unlike traditional retailers, our service delivery extends far beyond your decision to purchase something from us. We are committed to providing:

Customers with access to the best selection of top global brands in the cycling industry (our constant research around the globe ensures we bring our Canadian customers the best from around the world)
knowledgeable guides on your tour through any of our shops (no commissioned sales people – our staff are measured on customer satisfaction)
exceptional service personnel in our Shop (our staff are measured on the quality of their work)
the highest level of experience in our Fit Studio (We have Canada’s most experienced Fit and Master Fit staff)
the highest level of Coaching and Clinic Leadership staff ( Dr. Greg Gannon, PhD, a Previous Olympic Training Centre Coach now leads our Coaching and performance Centre Practise, a testament to our commitment to bringing exceptional delivery in this part of the business)

We understand that at the end of every purchase decision is a customer who wants an objective point of view, and wants what’s right for them. All staff at Gears are encouraged to help customers achieve this objective without simply pushing product. Staff are measured on customer satisfaction more than they are on sales volume. Success for Gears staff means that a customer has left satisfied, not oversold. Success means that a customer has been shown why the bike selected for them is the one that suits their body type and physiology best. Success for Gears staff is often best felt when that customer returns to Gears and says “thank you for enriching my life” and thank you for bringing fitness back to my life”. We take great pride in helping people improve the quality of their life – the bike just happens to be a wonderful tool to do this with.
