Welcome to the TCR Bike Lab

TCR Bike lab is not a conventional bike shop. We choose to focus on the personal approach to buying, servicing and fitting bicycles, with staff that are extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Professional Bike Fitting

Cycling is one of the most repetitive activities humans engage in; on a 2-hour bike ride, for example, a person might perform 10,000 pedal strokes! More important than the highest-end carbon-fiber and ultra-light performance parts, a properly fitted bike can mean the difference between agonizing pain and the pure joy of experiencing the outdoors from the saddle!

A new approach to buying a bicycle

At TCR, we do things a little differently than traditional bike shops. We believe purchasing a new bike should be a good experience that involves bike fitting, customer input, custom builds and fun! On average, every bike purchase takes about 8-10 hours of work and communication with the customer. Everything is done slowly and without pressure. We want the customer to have input and lots of selection into their purchase. Below is our bike purchase method:

  1. Product knowledge. Determining which bike frame suits the customer needs, budget and body.
  2. Bike Fit Sizing on the Serotta Size Cycle. This is the process of determining the correct sizes for the parts and frame.
  3. Parts selection. Everything is custom. We help the customer pick the groupset, wheels, saddle, bars, stem, tires, bottle cages, bar tape, etc.
  4. Bike Build. Our expert mechanic builds your dream machine slowly and carefully.
  5. Bike Fit. We fit the new bike perfectly to your body with small adjustments.
  6. Champagne Ceremony! Every bike purchase includes a celebration and photo as a welcome to the TCR family.

Client Testimonial:

"Thanks so much for putting together the perfect bike for me, you immediately put me into a comfort zone of trust when I first spoke to you of my plans for a new bike and I appreciated so much being able to relate to you roughly what I was seeking and know that your recommendations were good to go with.

Not once did I ever feel you were trying to set me up with more than I needed or less than I desired as you continually steered me in the right direction. And there was zero pressure. Impressive.

My bike is perfect, absolutely flawless and now I am in pursuit of doing it justice. The champagne was a nice touch, a perfect finish for a perfect bike. Many, many thanks.

The TCR New Bike Purchase Ceremony

We believe that a new bike purchase is a special occasion! Each new bike gets a few drops of Champagne poured on it because each bike is unique and belongs to one person. We do not sell bikes out of the box. Instead, we do a thorough fitting to make sure the bike will fit the first moment you sit on it, and then we decide what parts you want. You can specify every single bike part on the bike, all the way down to the cables.


We proudly sell Colnago bicycles here at TCR. The ultimate marriage of passion and engineering yields an amazing riding experience. Very few companies have enjoyed the longevity and success that Colnago has. To find out more about Colnago and why we believe they're the best bikes on the planet, click here.

Our newest partnership! Stemming from our firm belief that your bike must fit properly before anything else matters, we offer Guru bicycles. Their slogan, "One Soul at a Time," summarizes our shared philosophy perfectly. The frame truly is the soul of the bicycle, and each frame is custom-made, right here in Canada!

Powermeters

The cutting-edge of cycling technology. Powermeters are the ultimate training tool and have revolutionized our ability to optimize training. Here at TCR Sport Lab, we believe that the best way to train is to use science to your advantage, and using a powermeter means you can bring the lab with you!
