Our mission at Wrench & Roll seeks to help each person achieve more activity in their life through education, effective equipment purchases, and special events. We expect each customer to leave our store with more knowledge than when they came in. We take special pride in helping customers achieve the best new ride experience possible.
Very few bicycle companies sell in more than 50 markets across the world. Very few bicycle companies create a range of bikes that includes everything from children's first pedallers to pro rider's road machines. And even fewer bicycle companies that can do all this are still owned by their founding families.
The shop offers bikes to fit your budget and riding styles with a selection of pre-owned bikes. We take trade-ins, donations, and will buy selected pre-owned bikes. All pre-owned bikes receive a detailed tuned up. Our current stock changes regularly. Stop in to check out to see if a pre-owned bike will work for you!
The power to move through the urban landscape cleanly and efficiently is now as simple as pedaling. A city commuter bike with a sturdy, chromoly frame and fork, and a fairly tall stem to make the riding position very comfortable. It's available as a diamond-shaped frame or a low-step-through design.
If there is one thing you can do to prolong the life of your bike, it is keeping it clean. No fancy cleaning kit required - a bucket of soapy water, a sponge and an old toothbrush is all you need, though a proper degreaser will help break down the oil and grit in the chain and gear sprockets. Poorly inflated tires are prone to punctures.

I brought my bike in to be serviced as it was beyond my skill level to repair. Matthew and his associate were very helpful in helping explain what work needed to be done and why. He also helped service/tweak a few issues that I was not aware of without a charge to make my ride a little better!
Another local bike shop quoted me over 2x what I was charged. Wish they serviced cars...;)
Nice used and new bikes on the floor as well. I will be back!
Thank You Wrench and Roll!

Matthew is committed to making bicycling accessible to all interested, despite fitness or skill level. The Wrench for Women class on bike maintenance is well taught, non-intimidating and important basics for all who wish to be self sufficient. Quality used and new bikes with good customer service ensuring proper fit for the rider.

Great shop! On a coast to coast tour, I saw a broken spoke as I was coming into La Crosse. Wrench and Roll squeezed in a repair last minute. I usually work on my bikes myself, and I can tell that these guys do good work -- cleaned the cassette, put a little grease on the retaining ring and skewer, talc in the tire. They know what they're doing.

Absolutely astounding! Can’t believe how well I was treated there. They explain everything know what they’re doing, also gets your bike registered while you’re there! Can’t stress it enough, might be the best bike store i’ve ever been to.

Absolutely, love this place and Matthew is the best. I haven't been a bike in over 15 years and he found me the perfect one. It has changed my life. Thank you for the great bike and fun memories I'm making being on the open road. Check this place out!

Awesome local bike shop. I got a flat tire nearby today and they took my bike right away so I could get back on the road. Quality shop, they fixed up my husband's bike this spring and made it like new.

Fantastic experience! Owner and staff took there time to assist my wife and I with helping us find the right bike. Prices were reasonable and they offer some good deals if you buy your bike there.

Nathan and Matthew were unbelievably helpful and supportive in getting me and my wife back on our ebikes and on the area trails after we experienced difficulties with one of our bikes early on. They were professional and extremely knowledgeable about our options and made sure we were satisfied with the workmanship. A great experience for out of town visitors who were unfamiliar with the trails in terms of terrain, difficulty and scenery!!! Highly recommend.

Currently taking the bicycle maintenance classes for women. The atmosphere is very welcoming and encourages you to learn more no matter what your knowledge is at the beginning. Tools and parts are well explained and demonstrated. There is plenty of opportunity to then practice new skills, and become familiar with how these skills apply to your own bike. The class is worthwhile and Matthew is a very good, calm and helpful teacher.
For those looking to buy a bike, there is a wide range of options in terms both in terms of types of bike and price range.
One of my favorite aspects is getting a membership

Great, fast service and reasonable rates! They took the time to research prices for parts and gave me options for fixing my bike. It's so nice to see a bicycle sale and repair shop on the north side! Thanks so much!

I've purchased two bikes from W&R and it's the place to go for friendly, professional, low-pressure service--and reasonable deals. When shopping for used bikes, I prefer having two or three comparable bikes to choose from in one spot, instead of running all over town pursuing bikes on craigslist. That's what I get at W&R!

I always have questions, and Mathew always has answers! The Wrench & Roll is a blessing to our Little City, and to the folks that might not have $500.00 laying around for a brand new bicycle! There are new bikes, as well as used, on the sale floor. The Wrench & Roll also has fixture items, lights, other safety accessories on sale for reasonable pricing. I've purchased 2 wonderful used bikes from Mathew's shop, and several accessories for mine, and my kid's bikes. My older daughter got a great deal on a trade-in, and we will always love the Wrench & Roll! Great people, great store, great prices

~ ❇️Matthew is fantastic!! ~ Excellent service. ❇️~
My pink bike, Polly, a beach cruiser, got a flat tire yesterday & today, ... voila' all ready for riding again, thanks to Matthew! My bike is my main transportation, so I really appreciated immediate, quality service.
While in the shop, I also finally found a biking accessory that I've been… searching for a long while, a water proof clothing item, anorak style. Most definitely I'll return to purchase. As well, Matthew gave me information about the bicycle becoming a symbol of women's emancipation, ... awesome

Matthew knows his stuff! We have had 2 bikes refurbished here and just bought one for our daughter going to college. He offers advice based on experience and money saving tips with realistic recommendations. Love supporting a local business, former colleague and friend.

This is a wonderful, comfortable bike shop, with an excellent selection of bikes (spring sale just about to begin) and accessories. Store owner Matthew is very personable as well as extremely knowledgable in all aspects of bicycling, maintenance and bike repair. He can repair and/or tune up your bike for a very reasonable price, or you can join… the collective and fix your own bike at the shop, with use of the tools there. I also highly recommend the "Wrench and Women" series of classes Matthew periodically offers. I've gained so much knowledge on bike maintenance and repair and will have

Matthew has a great knowledge of all bikes. He has my bike operating beyond my expectations. One rider and one Gary Fisher Marlin in unison. He taught me how to properly maintain the bike and have it fit well. It greatly improved performance.

Matthew is an extremely helpful and knowledge bicycle enthusiast, professional and fun guy. If you need a bike he is the one to see. He will make sure you get the right bicycle for you. He doesn't sell bicycles he provides you with transportation that you will enjoy for years to come. If your bicycle happens to need repair there is no one more knowledgeable than Matthew. He gets the job done and for a price that doesn't give you and an OMG
