Pradeep Cycle Stores

If you are looking for Pradeep Cycle Stores, you have to head up to the first floor of Uprai Manjil in Sarai Hakim. Being on the first floor is a bit unusual for a cycle shop because we have to haul the bikes up and down the stairs, but we’ve gotten used to the workout. We have all kinds of cycles packed into the space, from small ones for kids to bigger ones for people who use them to get to work. The air in here usually smells like rubber tires and chain oil. I spend a lot of my time tightening bolts or fixing punctures for the kids in the neighborhood. It is a noisy place when the tools are clanking, but I enjoy the work. People in Sarai Hakim know they can come up the stairs and find us if their brakes are acting up or if they need a new bell. We don't have a website or any fancy marketing stuff. We just rely on the fact that people know where we are. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when too many people come in at once, but we just ask everyone to be patient. I’ve been working with bicycles since I was young, so I can usually tell what's wrong with one just by hearing it click. It’s a local shop for local people, and that is how we like to keep it. We just focus on the wheels and the chains every single day.
