Ordinary Bike Shop doesn't just serve the community; they are the community, the well-greased hub around which bike events spin freely. Their location just off Fourth Avenue puts them at the center of everything, between the UA and downtown, just east of BICAS and smack-dab in the middle of the annual Greater Arizona Bicycling Association swap meet. Their helpful, competent staff can usually be found tinkering at all things bikey, offering up free advice and minor adjustments during Tucson's annual Bike Fest or at the premiere this year of the fabulous Cyclovia. Perhaps they can even tell you how to pronounce "Cyclovia."
