Friendly bicycle repairs for everyday riders
A friendly neighbourhood workshop for tune-ups, repairs and honest advice, explained in plain language so you always know what is done.
Cadena Viva is a fictional workshop made for a school project.
Plain-language checks
You get told what we found and what we did, with no jargon.
A calm, tidy workshop for city riders who want simple, honest repairs explained clearly.
Most bike shop sites are busy and full of jargon. This one is not. Tell us what your bike is doing, and we tell you what it needs in words you can repeat to a friend.
Cadena Viva is a fictional neighbourhood workshop created as a school project to show how a complete small-service website fits together.
A once-over for the bike you ride every day: brakes, gears, chain and tyres checked and adjusted so it feels smooth again. Afterwards you get a plain summary of what we found.
Something clicking, rubbing or not stopping? We look at it, explain the cause, and agree the fix with you before any work starts.
Not sure whether a bike is worth repairing, or what to look after yourself? Ask. We would rather help you ride safely than sell you something you do not need.
No surprises. Four steps, each one explained.
Send a message describing what your bike is doing, or just that it is due a check.
We inspect the bike and tell you what we found, in plain words, before anything is done.
Nothing happens without your say-so. You choose which work goes ahead.
We fix what was agreed and tell you exactly what was done, so you know your bike is ready.
