Z's Bike Fix · Ottawa
Meet your mechanic.
We're a small neighbourhood shop that fixes bikes and tunes skis. Bring us what you've got and we'll look it over with you, tell you what it actually needs, and get you back out there.
The shop
A shop where you can watch the work.
Our repair stands are right up front, and that's on purpose. Pull up, see what's happening to your bike, and ask us anything. Not sure what's wrong? We'd rather explain it than guess.
Watch the work
See what we see. Ask as many questions as you like, that's what the stands are for.
Straight answers
We'll tell you what your bike needs, and what it doesn't. Sometimes the answer is "you're good."
Your goals first
Whether you're commuting, racing, or just getting back on a bike, we want to help you get where you're going.
The team
Mojo handles quality control.
Our shop dog Mojo supervises every job. Credentials: none. Enthusiasm: unlimited. Come say hi, Mojo has a lot of fans.
What people say
Don't take our word for it.
“I've dealt with several bike shops around Ottawa over the past couple of years, and I was shocked at how poorly some of them are run. But Z's Bike Shop is a breath of fresh air.”
“The staff looked it over and said they'd book me in for a tier 1 tune-up because my bike was in good enough shape that the tier 2 wasn't necessary. So refreshing to find a shop that doesn't try to upsell you!”
“He's a real mechanic, not just a parts changer. I found my new bike mechanic.”
“The team at Zs are professional, transparent, friendly, and easy to deal with. It is easy to see that the team takes pride in their work.”
“Helpful staff gave some advice and a couple of used parts for my projects. None of the snooty vibe that too many of the high end bike shops have!”
“They took the time to explain what adjustments they could make and how it would change our boarding experience. Great service.”
