Our Story

THE BICYCLE IS A UNIQUELY FASCINATING MACHINE!

We all know when the evolution of man occurred. But with the evolution of man came the invention of the first wheel.  As man was created, more wheels where created and alas the bicycle was invented.  The bicycle was a wonderful invention; it was much faster than walking and got more people around much quicker.  But then bicycles began to break, and being a type of machine, bicycles need to be cared for and have regular scheduled maintenance.

Preventative maintenance will help your bicycle last longer and perform better and reduce the risk of breakdown. If you want to get the most out of your bicycle you should have it tuned up at least once a year for normal bicycle usage. If you ride more frequently it is suggested twice a year for a tune up. Even if your bicycle sits in the garage or closet, time starts to react in a negative way towards the lubricants and metals. The lubricants, greases, sealant, polishes and even metals start to deteriorate.

Though maintenance will keep you bike well tuned, bicycles also break. Wheelies can fix it!

HISTORY OF WHEELIES                                               

I started my bicycle repair career in the early 70’s as a kid with AJ’s Bike Shop in Medford, New Jersey. (Photo of myself in front of bike store in the 70’s). The days of the Stingray, 10 speeds and banana seats. I have seen and worked with the changes over the years and have grown with the advent of the mountain bike, BMX, and hybrid bicycles.

Bicycles, skateboarding and auto racing allowed me to work for individuals and companies such as Mario Andretti, Paul Newman, Jiffy Lube, and AAA. I understand the importance of quality, professionalism, customer service and relationships.

Still keeping my irons in the fire, I stayed active in bicycle repair as the go-to-guy for friends and family.

As time past the repair list grew. At the request of my accountant I was advised to go corporate. So Wheelies L.L.C. was formed in 2004.

Our mission is simple!

To build quality and integrity through each customer through the bicycle service industry and promote the quality of the bicycle to the betterment of mankind, womankind and the environment.
