That rusted chain, those squeaky breaks, and a peeling banana seat: It’s time to pimp your ride.

Call Delicious Wheels. Mobile bike mechanic Ross Donaldson puts pained pedalers back on the road. The one-man operation takes a trailer full of tools to roadside emergencies or anywhere that he can reach in an hour by bike.

From a simple work bench (it unfolds from the trailer’s top), the skilled and friendly (no surly attitude here) technician repairs minor snafus while teaching you how to DIY or performs custom upgrades (like creating wheel sets).

Invite Delicious Wheels to your office to perform tune-ups for all two-wheeled commuters or gather a group of friends for maintenance and instruction.

Donaldson will even barter in exchange for his services (he hinted at his high-caloric diet).

Hey, there’s no such thing as a free ride.
