From humble beginnings to multiple locations, Gears has been a proud part of the local cycling scene since 1988
GEARS : Port Credit
Affectionately called the “mother ship” our Port Credit shop is the foundation of the Gears community and our home base. Our original shop, Gears Port Credit, has been a steadfast fixture and link to the local cycling community for 3 decades. This shop has witnessed a lot of change over 30 years, yet continues to remain relevant and very much at the forefront of all things cycling.
In addition to being the first shop, Gears Port Credit, play a very important role as the administrative centre for our business. It’s also were you’ll find many of our veteran staff, who helped us define, develop and create our distinct Gears Culture. From this core… our business grew, and continues to more forward.
GEARS : Toronto Leaside : CLOSED AS OF MARCH 2021
Given the current conditions within the bicycle retail world brought on by COVID-19; global industry infrastructure challenges and an anticipated lack of supply for the next 12 to 18 months, we needed to make a business decision to secure our future. This was not a decision taken lightly, but given the current state of the cycling industry, this was a logical choice we made to protect our staff and business.
For all our loyal and long-standing MGCC customers and Brand Ambassador, please know that we have your best interests in mind as we wind-down this operation. Our partnered cycling clubs and the extended cycling community are vital components of our brand and success. At GEARS we are looking at this decision as a way to hit “re-set” during these most unusual and challenging times. This consolidation of resources has been designed to let us ride-out the next 12 months and adapt our business accordingly… and come out the other side stronger and more capable than ever before.
Please know that as we continue moving forward, we’ll keep you informed and up to date on this action. There are some very interesting opportunities on the horizon for GEARS and we can’t wait to share this with you. Just remember… when one door closes, a new window of opportunity opens.
GEARS : Burlington (Formerly Oakville)
Catering to a wide-range of cyclings, this brand new suburban shop is also home to our new GEARS Distribution Centre. Not far from some of the very best in road, gravel and mountain biking in Southern Ontario, this shop carries something for everyone and every style of cyclist.
Burlington is also home to our Regional Service Department (GEARS RSD) and is the Technical Service Hub for our other locations. Warehousing, distribution and the assembly of most of our bicycle inventory takes place at this location, giving the shop a unique and vital role in the continued growth of our business.
GEARS : Toronto : Canary District (Moving soon to King and River St)
Our newest shop opened its doors in 2016 and is located in Toronto’s newest and most unique neighborhood. The Canary District was conceived on the foundation of the 2015 PanAm Games and strives to be a community built upon healthy, active lifestyles. This growing and dynamic neighborhood has embraced Gears and we’ve happily become a cornerstone of this new urban community.
Given its urban location, proximity to several major bike paths and routes in and out of the downtown core, our Canary shop is very much focused on supporting urban cyclists
