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

  • Emy

    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.

  • George

    Rented a mountain bike from here for a weekend adventure, and SiC gave me everything I needed. Staff were professional and very helpful, equipment was well prepared, and prices were reasonable. Overall a flawless experience, and I would use them again.

  • Matthew

    Had a great experience here! I stopped in with 20 min before closing, ended up leaving an hour after closing with a great new beginner bike at a discounted price. They sell used bikes but selection is understandably limited. Mike was super helpful in finding out what my needs and wants were for the bike and then educating me on styles, brands, sizes, modifications, and more. Went to another bike store in Ann Arbor just before and waited around for 10 minutes for help and nobody ever said anything - Mike and the people at sic transit cycles were all personable and helped me right away. Would definitely return for a later purchase or maintenance!! Thank you STC!

  • Kristen

    My husband and I were staying in the Ann Arbor area for a weekend of MTB on local trails. I had been experiencing some discomfort with my factory bike seat. The staff at STC helped me select a new seat. With their expert advice, the new seat did the trick. I purchased a Selle Well M1 and have been very happy with it. Highly recommend any cyclist stop in at STC if you're in the area.

    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.

DO YOU WANT VORTEX-GENERATING CAVITIES THAT CREATE CONTROLLED TURBULENCE!?!? Well, maybe if you're into riding on the pavement and marginal mechanical gains. Seriously, this is the kind of innovation we love to see from companies like Continental. T
