Fix Coffee Bikes Toronto

Fix Coffee + Bikes

Fix Coffee + Bikes is a combination coffee shop and bike shop borne out of the mind of former urban planner Fred Sztabinski. After living in cyclist-friendly Amsterdam for a while and seeing similar concepts developed in other cities like Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver and Portland he decided to give it a go himself.

On board is Louis Pereira of reputable Manic Coffee in Little Italy. The bike shop is managed by Ross from Mississauga’s Bike Zone, the biggest bike shop in Canada.

Fix Coffee Bike TorontoFix also sells numerous bike accessories, and they try to support independent companies and projects as much as possible, getting a lot of their stocking ideas from Kickstarter. Even small items like this Knog Frog Light for $19 aren’t exactly cheap, but you can feel a lot better about where that money is going.

Fix Coffee Bike TorontoThey also rep a few bigger brands like Basil, which makes these stylish saddlebags.

Fix Coffee Bike TorontoThe house bike brand is Detroit Bikes. You can buy a new bike here or maintain your old one for fees ranging from $15 for a flat to $70 for a full tune-up.

Fix Coffee Bike TorontoThey always pull doubles here because cyclists need energy, and the silky 8 oz. latte I enjoy for $3.75 is made with de Mello’s signature Dancing Goats blend.

Fix Coffee Bike TorontoKids and dogs are welcome along with bikes here, and children tend to gravitate towards to public-space-inspired bleacher seating while their parents tend to go for the little tables opposite.
