Romance, made possible by bicycle

Valentine's BearGoldstream Bicycles is open every day of the year but one. We close Christmas Day, but we’re open every other statutory holiday. Earlier this week, on Family Day, this let us help a customer get to their first date.

Tony H. was riding to meet a woman, and got a flat tire on the Galloping Goose near the shop. Worried that all the bike shops would be closed for the stat, he called us and was ecstatic to find that we were open. Each holiday we put out a call for volunteers amongst our staff, and there are always some who want to work, so we were there when Tony needed us.

Tony raced over to the shop, and we were able to do the repair. When we emailed him his receipt, we added “Good luck, Tony!”

Later that same day we got a great response from him. “Hey thank you!!! I made it to my date in one peace, lol. And she likes me!!!! Gosh What a trip that was!!!”

In a later email, Tony added “Because of your help I was able to meet a really nice girl!!! Thank you so much, a definite life saver for sure!!!”

Thanks to Tony for giving us permission to share his story. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
