The Broken Spoke 
Just wondering if you were making a “Broken Spoke” jersery. I’m still interested. The cats add some great characters to the shop!
eventually russ…i’ll probably be putting something together this winter…!
Nice article in the paper this morning. Keep spreading the word about commuting.
thanks for the kind words karl…!

Michael, it’s so great to see your shop doing so well! I remember when you were first starting out and fixing it up. Awesome job 🙂
PS how are the cats?
Hey Michael,
We were just checking out your website. Nice bikes. How many cats do you have?
-Jason and Sarah Clapper
Hey Sarah & Jason!
There are two cats at the shop, Magnus & Bill(aka The Weiner Posse).
I need to post photographs of them, just because.
love my new steamroller, took it out for a ride yesterday and it rocks, thanks michael and peter.
Hey Michael,
Saw the article and had to say hi. Shop looks great. When you get jerseys, will you ship them?
Broken Spoke,
Thanks for letting me hang out at the shop yesterday! Thanks for keeping folks on bikes and all your advocacy efforts.
Wow! I didn’t know my Waterford would be featured on your website. It’s a dream though – flawlessly put together! Thanks Michael and Pete!

Do you have any children trailers? Love your shop!
I’m on an old ’80’s Giant single speed, a monster Jamis 700c Frankenstein Winterbike and a Jamis XLT All mountain rig.
no child trailers in-stock for this little shop…they can easily be ordered in though…!
I ordered a JAMIS BOSS CRUISER from Michael two weeks ago. The bike was put together and ready for pick up promptly. I am 250 miles from his shop, but the long distance didn’t hamper the sale whatsoever. He had everything in order when I picked up the bike. I am a retailer and professional photographer and know a thing or two about good service. I would buy again from him if and when I need another bike and encourage anybody else to give Michael a try if good service is what you want.
Thanks for the kind words, Heath. It was certainly a pleasure to do business with you. Enjoy the bike!
Michael, congratulations on your recognition as a BFB!!!
I love the custom bikes but no prices were listed. What does a custom job run?
All of the custom bikes featured on here were done for customers. They ranged for as little as $300 to as much as $3500.
Michael,
Thanks for the quick fixie conversion. She’s running beautifully!!!
Talked to you earlier in the week.

Michael,
I am looking for a bicycle for an active old lady..me! All I know is coaster bikes. My friend told me about a trek lime she has with coaster breaks a comfy seat and automatic shift. Sounds nice. How far is Iowa City from Nebraska City
Thanks.

Hey, Aunt Marla!
You should maybe check out this bike. I’ve got one that is black at the shop. My mom got one & it suits her well.

Iowa City is probably right around five hours from Nebraska City.
Feel free to email me directly at magnus@thebrokenspoke.com with any other questions!
Nice to hear from you…
