About us
“Cycling clears your head –
and leaves room to dream”
Bike shop and workshop in Munich-Untergiesing
Our approach
We like high-quality bicycles because they can be maintained, adapted and used for a long time.
At the same time, we want to be a workshop that contributes something to the neighbourhood, not only for people who can afford every new part.
Good foundations
We prefer working on high-quality bikes, not as a matter of principle, but because good frames, solid components and common standards tend to last longer and are easier to repair. We want to understand the cause and preserve what is still good rather than replacing complete assemblies.
Our standard
We know our work is not cheap. In return, the advice, planning, communication and result should be right. If something does not feel right after collection, please come back. We will look at it together and take care of it.
Training workshop
We train apprentices because knowledge only survives when it is shared. Our apprentice works under supervision and gradually takes on more responsibility. In workshops, we also share knowledge with you so you can understand and work on your bike. If a necessary repair fails because of money, we can sometimes find a solution at cost.
Children on bikes
Life with children is expensive enough. We therefore charge only half our standard labour rate for repairs to children’s bikes. Money should not prevent a child from riding safely, travelling independently and enjoying cycling.
Borrowing the mobility transition
For us, changing urban mobility means more than selling bicycles. One of our cargo bikes is therefore available to borrow free of charge through Freie Lastenradl, for transport, errands or simply to try it out.

Advice, sales and workshop work are not separate worlds here. We work on the bike together, from the first conversation to the test ride after a repair.

The place
You will find us at Schyrenstraße 9 in Munich-Untergiesing. From the street, pass through the entrance into the courtyard and continue to the building at the rear.
If it is your first visit, do not be surprised: you cannot see us directly from the street.
Directions and contact
Videos & reels
On YouTube, we take a detailed look at bicycles, follow custom-bike projects and explain workshop topics.
On Instagram, we share shorter views from the shop, new bikes and whatever currently occupies us. Not polished advertising, but our perspective from the workshop.
FAQ
In principle, yes, if the timing and tasks fit our workshop schedule. Depending on your experience, you may get to know the workshop, sales, advice and our own projects. Tell us briefly who you are, when and for how long you would like to join us, and what interests you. We will honestly tell you whether we have enough time to support you properly.
We are open to bikes and ideas that suit our shop and customers. This may be a conventional dealer relationship, a demo bike in the shop or a limited presentation with test rides and a video on our YouTube channel. Send us a short introduction, technical documents, dealer terms and an honest explanation of what makes your bike distinctive. We will then assess whether and how working together makes sense.
A bike must convince us technically, work in daily life and complement our existing range. Reliable spare parts, good technical documentation, accessible contacts and fair terms for small independent dealers also matter. Before taking on a brand, we want to ride, assemble and understand its bikes ourselves. A good margin alone is not enough; we must be able to recommend and service the product with a clear conscience.
