For the love of the ride.

Ann Arbor-owned and operated since 2009. How can we serve you?

Sic Transit Cycles is a full-service bike store and repair shop located in the historic Lowertown section of Ann Arbor, Michigan. We are proud to have the city's premier bicycle service center, a showroom full of new bicycles and accessories, and a bicycle fitting studio run by our partner business, Fitmi.

In our showroom, we have partnered with brands such as Cannondale, Jamis, Marin, All City and Surly to provide a distilled selection of their catalog. We focus on which models would best suit the needs of our local community and offer the best value for their money. To complement these bicycles, we have a wide selection of accessories that can help transform each bike to the ideal tool for recreational biking, racing or commuting through our city.

In our service center, we have assembled a collection of career bicycle mechanics that are capable of working on all aspects of bicycle repairs. From overhauls of vintage racing bikes to fine tuning of the latest electronic shifting systems, each of our staff has the knowledge to keep any bike rolling smooth. In addition to that, our staff focuses on suspension service, wheel building, fit matching and custom builds.

Customer Testimonials

Will P.

“Simply the best bicycle shop in Ann Arbor, which is saying a LOT.
Extremely knowledgeable staff, particularly in the repair department. If you, like me, have an interest in oddball older bikes, as well as fast new bikes, this is the place for you. I brought in a set of shifter cables for an extremely rare bike (it's not even a bicycle), and they had new cables made up for me almost immediately, at a phenomenal price.
Every time I come here, I leave impressed.”
Max F.

“Had the most amazing experience working with these guys to find a bike I really love. Spent multiple hours over a couple visits running through options on every little detail. I really appreciated how patient they were, and as someone who doesn't know a ton about bikes other than that I love to ride them, I learned a ton of important information along the way.
My one gripe is that their one sales person, Noonen, is completely unprofessional. Demanded pets in exchange for service and even raised his voice to bark at a dog passing by. Overall, still a very good boy.”

“Best bike shop in the world. Too many bike shops suffer from snobbery or incompetence. Sic Transit does not! They carry many specialty brands but are extremely down to earth. They realize that the vast majority of bicyclists aren’t training for a race, and they’ll spec your bike out accordingly. I drive over from the east side of Detroit for this shop.”
Tina T.

“Can’t resist leaving another review for this awesome crew! Stopped in for new tires and received the signature Sic extraordinary welcome. I was unable to leave my bike this time and expected to wait an hour, min. Stepped outside and barely got through a few phone calls when I received the friendly text that service was complete. WOW! Not only was it in record time, Mark graciously included some misc adjustments. Always doing whatever it takes to give us a stellar riding experience and keep us safe!
Cycling is a way of life for me and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this crew. They set the bar - Keep rockin’ it, guys - we can’t stay away!”

“Hands down the best bike shop in Ann Arbor. The staff here cares a lot about the work they do. For them, it isn't just about the sales or the paycheck; it's about sharing the love of cycling. They charge fair prices, maintain a stock of quality products, and everyone who works here is extremely knowledgeable.
I cannot recommend them enough.”
