Since 2014
Race-Mechanic Roots, Squamish Trails
Two former race mechanics built Switchback Cycles around straight pricing and three bike brands they ride themselves.
Our Story
From Race Shop to Trail Hub
Opened in 2014 by two former race mechanics, Switchback Cycles now brings together bike sales, rentals, hands-on service and weekly community rides. We’re a block from Squamish’s trail network, with the workshop at the heart of the shop.

Our Principles
Good Work. Straight Answers.
We believe a bike shop should be clear about the work, the price and the ride ahead. That’s how we’ve done it since 2014.
What We Stand By
Fixed, Honest Pricing
Our tune-up menu is posted, with prices from $79 to $249. No surprise invoices.
Race-Mechanic Craftsmanship
The founders are former race mechanics, hands-on in the shop since 2014.
