“Some friends and I attended a bike maintenance class led by James. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, but let’s just say, we were all blown away by James’ knowledge, patience, and passion. We came hoping to learn how to change a tire and left knowing so much more! So much thanks and appreciation to James and The Line for such an outstanding experience.”

“I went to The Line Bike Experience for a class on how to take basic care of my bike. I have been to other bike shops, only to be frowned upon and talked down to, making me never want to return. That was the exact opposite of how The Line treated me. The Line is truly welcoming, ready to answer even the most basic question. I can't thank them enough for that! Also, the mission plan behind this Start-Up company is really worth commending. Helping western Washington residents and their out-of-town friends a chance to bike our beautiful woods. Thank you!”
