About The Brake Room

Bikes.  

 

When you first started riding, your bike was a toy. Later on, your two wheeler took you down the street to hang out with your friends. Now, what is it to you? A vehicle? A piece of fitness equipment? Maybe it’s still a toy! 

Our team is small, but when we tally up the totals, together we’ve owned a combined 50+ very different bikes over the course of our adult lives so far. It’s because of our experiences with all of these different setups that we’ve honed in our shop’s focus on three areas: fit, comfort and joy. We’re passing our experience on to you: we believe this intersection is where the magic happens. 

There is no “One Size Fits All” approach to cycling. How could there be? All bodies are different, and the people living in those bodies have different goals. 

This is why we start the journey to your new bike with a conversation. We want to get to the root of what fit, comfort and joy will look like for you so that we can get you there. 

Your bike has the potential to be part of your life forever. If you’re ready to get started on your first bike or your next bike (n+1, if you know, you know), pick a time to chat with us either in-person or virtually by clicking here. 

 

Coffee.

 

Coffee has quite literally brought us together. We could have never imagined, back when we were a trio of teenagers slinging lattes and riding bikes, that it would still be this much a part of our lives a decade later. 

We know firsthand that cafes are gathering places: for friends, for neighbours, and for communities of all types. We’ve met our lifelong friends and even our future partners in cafes. This intersection of people is important to us: you don’t have to be a cyclist, a local, or even a coffee drinker to feel welcome here. 

Our cafe experience starts with direct-trade coffee beans, expertly roasted. We complement the coffee with breakfast, lunch and snacks all made locally + with care. Our menu is updated regularly—you can check it out here. 

 

Belleville. 

 

We believe that the best place to start is where you are. We started here in Belleville because this is where we’re from: the rolling Oak Hills, the shorelines of the County and the corn fields of Quinte West set the backdrops of our earliest bike rides. Now known as the Bay of Quinte region, we’ve planted our roots deeper over our years in business. If you’re looking for a recommendation, whether it’s for a place to grab a drink in Prince Edward County or a gravel route to ride in North Hastings, we’d love to point you in the right direction. 

If you’ve made it this far… hello again! Here are a few next steps:
