Kiddie Bike Shop

There is one stage of your life that you crave for a bike starting when you were a kid. My son at 4 years old got interested with the bicycle and his mommy bought him one from a mall. It was a good thing the bike was on sale at 2000Pesos. After a month's used, the front tire went flat and I found out there was hole in wheel interior. I went to the vulcanizing shop, but unfortunately the hole was too big as when it was patched, the patch area bulged with air was put in. They recommended it to have replaced. It was good thing they did not charge me.

Earlier, I was thinking buying a patch kit and unfortunately for me, I was not able to find any in the mall at all. So I search for local bicycle shops around our area and the closest I found on the net were in Mandaluyong and Pasig City proper area. I opted to go this shop at Mandaluyong. Here is their facebook page empress cycle shop.



The wheel interior costed my 70pesos. The person at the shop mentioned that the wheel interior and the rubber tire I brought was of low quality. He was changing to a more durable wheel interior. He mentioned also that sooner or later the rubber tire will also break. He advised also that mall prices for bikes are more than 1000pesos expensive compared to theirs.

So my next trip to this shop will be changing the rubber tires that would cost me 260pesos.
