About Us...

Welcome to Al Petri & Sons On-Line! We strive to be the place to go for answers, advice, and the products you need to make your cycling experience enjoyable. Our store was founded in 1946, and for over 60 years we have continued to be Downriver's family-owned, full-service bicycle shop. With two locations in Michigan, one in Woodhaven and another in Lincoln Park, we are driven to provide our customers with excellent quality products and expert service.

We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and we refuse to settle for "just good enough". Every product, every new bicycle, every repair, is to be the best it can be. Our assembly, service, and repair standards are among the HIGHEST in the industry!

For us, bicycling is a family tradition. Three generations of our family are active in the bicycle business. Many of our customers' parents and grandparents purchased their first bicycle from us, and they have a family tradition of coming back.

Quality Products

We stand behind all the products we sell, ranging from small accessories to high-end bicycles. At our shop we take the time to educate our customers about the differences between a cheap department store (toy) bicycle and a quality bicycle. At Al Petri & Sons, we believe a bicycle purchase should last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care.

We carry a wide array of the following brands:

• Giant
• Schwinn
• GT
• Haro & Del Sol
• Redline
• Electra
• Sun Bicycles
• Torker

Why should you shop at Al Petri & Sons?

When you visit Al Petri & Sons, you get the full attention of our well-informed staff as we share our extensive knowledge of the bicycle industry with you. You see, all bikes are not created equal. Bicycles and their many parts can be welded, forged and machined to varying degrees of strength, lightness, and durability. Bike shop quality brands may cost more than department store or toy store bikes, but that’s because they are built to superior standards.

These higher standards are necessary because bike shop brands have fantastic warranties, and we have found that customers who have reliable bikes become our loyal clientele. Our brands represent some of the best manufacturers in the business and are backed by these companies and by Al Petri & Sons - but you have to buy from us to get that advantage.
