Phone 450-764-9226

• For advice, to fix an appointment to try and purchase a bike, for a bike repair, a pickup or any other reason, the fastest way is to phone.
• You can phone any time and leave a message if there is no answer. I'm often in the shop or out delivering bikes so I can't always answer. If your phone is private and the number doesn't display to the receiver, make sure you leave a call back number in your message. Make sure you pronounce each number slowly and clearly!
• In the case of a purchase, once we scheduled an appointment the bike is reserved for you until you try it. If you change your mind, found a bike elsewhere or wish to cancel the appointment for any reason, please phone ASAP such that the bike can be put back for sale.

Email velo@stephanelapointe.com

• You can email for information but emails are taken care after phone calls. It's just less complicated and faster to phone. If you leave a call back number in your email I'll phone you back.
• We can't fix an appointment or reserve a bike by email. I won't go to an appointment unless we had a live phone conversation to make sure it is serious. It's safer for you and me to make sure the other person is for real, not a complete stranger from the internet.

Bike delivery, road test, seat adjustment. I personally deliver each bicycle.

Free Delivery

• The shop being 1 hour from downtown Montreal by car, the vast majority of customers have the bike delivered to their home, school or workplace. Where is the shop..
• The price of the bike includes delivery, there is no extra cost.
• I deliver each bicycle myself, it's a professional and personalized service. It's not like receiving a bike by mail or UPS !

You test drive the bike before purchase

• The bike size is verified, the seat is adjusted for you.
• If you have little cycling experience, I will show you how to ride and shift gears.
• You then take the bike for a ride on your street, around the block, to give it a good try, shift gears and test the brakes. If you don't like the bike for any reason you don't have to purchase it and you have nothing to pay.
• However it's not a roaming bike store. Sometimes I can bring 2 bikes to try but it is expected that you are seriously interested, actively shopping and ready to buy when you find a suitable bike. To help you in your choices I ask many questions on the phone before fixing an appointment, to make sure it's the right kind of bike for you and the right size.
• This service is not suited for: People who don't know how to ride a bike. People with medical issues like back pain, knee pain, neck pain, major overweight and others. Older people who haven't rode a bike since many years. People who want to try out a new kind of bike just to see how it feels. People who don't have enough money to pay the asking price and think they can bargain it down to fit their budget !
