Real Skills. No Egos.

We've spent 12 years in the New York cycling scene, and if there's one thing we've learned, it's that everyone feels intimidated by a torque wrench at first. Our courses are designed to be hands-on from the second you walk into the shop.

Why pay $100 for a tune-up when you can do it yourself for the cost of a few tools and some grease? We provide the bikes, the tools, and the coffee. You just bring the willingness to learn.

"I came in not knowing which way to turn a screw and left with a perfectly shifted rear derailleur. Truly empowering experience!"

The Level 3 course was a game changer for my triathlon prep. Understanding bearing friction helped me shave seconds off my time, and our instructor was incredibly patient with the complex hydraulic bleed. Highly recommend Equinox Cycle Works to any competitive rider.

Why did we choose Equinox Cycle Works?

Because their teaching style isn't just 'watch and do'. They explain the 'why' behind the mechanical failure. We feel much more confident on remote trails now.
