Ajo Bike
By Mariana Hristova
Bikes play an essential role as a means of transportation in urban environments, thanks to their healthy individualism.
If you’re looking like many others to pick up a bike or perhaps fix up one you’ve neglected, Ajo Bike is here to help. The project was founded in 2014 by Vladimir who perfected his skills in Amsterdam, the capital of urban cycling. Hidden in a slightly gloomy part of the Raval, the small shop provides a variety services including repair, sales and rental as well as priceless advice on how to keep your bike maintained as well as keep it safe from thieves.
If you buy a bike from Ajo, it will come with a bonus: they’ll deliver it to your door, assemble it for you and the labor on its first repair will be free (parts extra). Rentals are on offer for as low as €5 per day or €35 per week.
