Skiis and Biikes
Skiis and Biikes is just that, a ski and bike shop! With many locations across Canada, their mantra is “service, service, service.” Along with the bikes and skis, they also sell footwear and clothing as well as offering a service for your skis or snowboards. They have a variety of biking gear, and over 10 different dependable bicycle brands can be found at Skiis and Biikes, each with its own lifetime service plan. They recently implemented a huge footwear selection in each of their stores and now offer a great selection of hiking, biking and sports shoes. On Christmas Eve of 1989, the Mississauga store was flooded with 4” of water, but that didn’t stop them from having a line down the block on Boxing day. Skiis and Biikes are all about helping customers find what is right for them, which is a rare quality to find in a store these days. Their well-educated staff can answer any questions you may have about biking, and it doesn’t even matter if you’re a beginner or an advanced rider. Skiis and Biikes also has good end-of-season sales and offers various seasonal coupons on their website, which is always being updated.
