Bicycle mechanics use hand and power tools to repair, service, and assemble all types of bicycles. They may do routine maintenance and tune-ups, or completely rebuild damaged or old bicycles. Bike manufacturers, dealers, retail bike and sporting goods stores, and general merchandise stores employ bicycle mechanics. The popularity of bicycles and the fact that many riders lack the time to repair their bikes has created steady demand for bicycle mechanics. Approximately 14,400 bicycle mechanics work in the United States. Bicycle mechanics are also known as bicycle repairers.
