Service Update: Temporary Suspension of Repair Services

Due to recent developments affecting federal operations, Emerald Cycling’s repair services are temporarily suspended. My current responsibilities within the U.S. government require my full focus, and I’m unable to offer repair work at this time.

However, bag rentals remain available, and the online store is still open for orders.

For repair needs during this period, I highly recommend Rochester Bike Shop—a trusted, family-owned local shop that I’ve proudly partnered with. They offer excellent service and will take great care of your bike.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. I look forward to resuming full services as soon as circumstances allow.

My Story

Frustrated with long wait times for bike maintenance, I took matters into my own hands—first servicing my own bikes, then helping friends and neighbors. What started as a way to offset tool costs has grown into a passion for providing affordable, reliable bike maintenance. While this isn’t my primary career, I take pride in keeping riders safe and comfortable, standing behind every repair to ensure each bike is in top condition.

Repair Scheduling Notes

I fix bikes on the side because I love it. However, compared to regular repair shops, it does have some limitations that come with it.

Appointments

First,I don’t have set business hours or a dedicated shop. I work by appointment only from my garage. Appointments are specific times for you to drop off your bike and let me do a quick assessment. There are a few services I can perform while you wait, most notably replacing a tube, but generally speaking, I’ll need a few hours to do a quality repair job on most bikes.

No E-bikes

Long story, won’t get into it, but I dont do any work on e-bikes, sorry.

Email or Texts only, please.

Finally, for the best way to reach me, please send an email to matt@emeraldcycling.com or text me at 248-525-2829. I’m quick to respond to texts and emails, but I don’t answer phone calls, sorry. You can also use my appointment form on the site, if you’d prefer (it works best for me).
