bike repair

Any body know of an [English-speaking] bike repair shop? How is it possible that a city with this many bike riders does not have a bicycle service shop? There are at least 2 other forum posts asking the same question with no replies.


Any pointers are appreciated.


Thank you, Megan

Why on earth does it have to be English speaking - you can point to the problem.  Migros in Carouge and every bike shop in Geneva does repairs.  What I do not how the smaller shops react if you have not bought the bicycle from them.  also Go sport in etrembieres and probably also in Thoiry do repairs but you have to leacve it there and they tell you what day to come back.  If it has to a repairman who speaks English, dare I suggest a boyfriend?

Thanks Paul.


I guess you are right that the shop does not need to be English-speaking.
I did not know that Migros in Carouge did repairs or how to find other bike shops. I just arrived here and my bike arrived damaged. I do not know how to service the bike by myself and my GIRLfriend does not ride bikes or know how to fix them. I will look into Migros and other bike shops.


Thank you for the quick reply.

The bike shop Migros is in one of the buidings next to the main Migros.  My daughter uses it (or did until her bike was stolen) and I think on the techncial side she used English but sahe was happy with the service

Thanks everyone. I think I have a good base to find somewhere helpful.


Eva, Mr. Gasoline - I didn't know that the bike shops did repairs, I thought they just sold bikes. I apologize for my ignorance.


Thanks again, Megan
