Big Al’s Mobile Bike Repair will be onsite to check your bicycles.  Allen opened his mobile bike repair service in 2023 in Santa Clara, CA, and revolutionized a unique way of servicing people’s bicycles. Until then, most people had to load their bicycles in their cars, take it to a bike shop while waiting up to two weeks for their bike to be finished, all while potentially scratching the interior of their car and getting grease and dirt everywhere in the process. This was not going to work for busy professionals, parents, or college students without a vehicle, so he decided to do something about it. With more than ten years of experience wrenching on bicycles, Allen’s mission is to save you time and money, while inspiring and facilitating a connection to the outdoors for his community. "
