Bike Service, Sales and Suspension
in Byron Center, Michigan
A bike shop for Byron Center riders
Biked is about 13 miles from Byron Township Hall, 20 to 25 minutes by car. Take M-6 east to Kalamazoo Avenue, or US-131 north to 28th Street.
Bring us your bike for a tune-up, a repair or a suspension rebuild, let us pick it up from your home, or come in and find your next bike. Byron Center sits at the south end of Kent Trails, with the M-6 Trail heading east, farm roads for gravel in every direction, and Yankee Springs a short drive south.
Two easy ways to get your bike serviced
Visit the shop
We’re at 2312 28th St SE, Grand Rapids, on the southeast side. Drop off your bike, talk through a new bike or custom build with us one-on-one, or pick up parts and gear.
Pick up and drop off
We pick up and drop off all over Byron Center.
- We pick up at your home. You don’t need to be there: leave your bikes in the garage while you’re at work and tell us where to find them.
- Up to three standard bikes ride for one fee, so the whole household can get serviced at once.
- One way works too. Have us pick up your bike and stop by the shop to get it and talk it over in person, or drop it off with us and we’ll bring it home. You only pay for the trip you use.
- Pickup is $20 each way, $40 round trip. Depending on where you are in Byron Center, an extended-area fee from $15 may apply. Call 616-234-0134 and we’ll check your address.
- A $95 minimum service applies, and oversized bikes have a $15 transport fee.
Find the right bike, not just a bike
Buying a bike at Biked is one-on-one. We ask how and where you ride, help you choose the right model and size, and set it up before it leaves the shop. We keep our floor small on purpose and order most bikes to your size and spec, so you get the bike that fits you instead of the one we need to move.
We’re an authorized dealer and service center for Specialized, Cervélo, BMC and Transition, and we do custom builds with ENVE, Chris King and Industry Nine parts.
Road and gravel
Road bikes for Kent Trails and the M-6 Trail, and gravel bikes for the farm roads south and west of town, from Specialized, Cervélo and BMC.
Mountain
Trail and cross-country bikes for Yankee Springs, Wild Card and Johnson Park, from Specialized, BMC and Transition, plus custom builds and suspension tuning from our Suspension Lab.
Triathlon and e-bikes
Cervélo triathlon bikes for race season, and Specialized Turbo e-bikes for longer rides, commuting and keeping up with the family.
Kent Trails starts in Byron Center
Kent Trails starts on 84th Street in Byron Center. Farther east on 84th, Douglas Walker Park (1195 84th St SW) is the trailhead for the east branch, nearly 3 miles to the main trail.
From there it’s 15 paved, mostly flat miles north on old rail grade through Wyoming, Grandville and Walker to Millennium Park and John Ball Park. For more on Millennium Park, see our Walker page.
Mountain bike trails within reach
Yankee Springs in Middleville has about 13 miles of singletrack, cared for with the West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance. The riding direction changes by day, and it’s sandy in spots. Closer in, Wild Card at Paris Park in Kentwood has 2 miles of trail, and Johnson Park in Walker has about eight miles of new singletrack.
For more places to ride around town, see our Grand Rapids riding guide.
Gravel roads and the M-6 Trail
More than a third of Byron Township is still farmland, and Gravelmap lists a dozen routes from town, from a 23-mile loop on 88th Street and Kenowa Avenue to a 49-miler. Each April, Barry-Roubaix in Hastings is the world’s biggest gravel race.
For pavement, the Fred Meijer M-6 Trail links Kent Trails east to the Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail toward Paris Park and Caledonia. Check Kent County Parks for closures before you go.
Coffee and food after the ride
Before the ride, grab coffee at Full Circle Coffee, at Foxtail Coffee on 84th Street, or a donut at Dizzy Donuts on Byron Center Avenue. After, Alebird Taphouse & Brewery sits in a historic railroad hotel right across 84th Street from the Kent Trails trailhead.
Houseman’s Ice Cream is walk-up and cash only, open March through October. Byron Center Meats has been here since 1946, and Byron Days has filled July since 1936.

Mountain bike suspension service
Sandy climbs and fast descents at Yankee Springs, plus long days on the trails around Byron Center, wear on your fork, shock and dropper post long before you feel it. Our Suspension Lab services Fox, RockShox, Marzocchi and Manitou, and we recommend a full fork service after 200 hours of riding.
- Full Fork Service, from $190
- Fork Lowers Rebuild Service, from $110
- Full Shock Service, from $190
- Shock Air Can Service, from $85
- Dropper Post Rebuild, from $80
- Frame Pivot Bearing Replacement, from $105
Fall and winter are a smart time to get your suspension rebuilt, so it’s ready when the trails dry out in spring.
Getting your bike ready for race day
This is a big part of what we do. We get bikes ready for races and big rides all season, including:
- Barry-Roubaix (Hastings, April)
- Dirty 30 Gravel (Saranac, April)
- Lowell Classic (Lowell, spring and fall)
- Michigan Gravel Race Series events
- Grand Rapids Triathlon (Ada, June)
- KeyBank Gran Fondo (downtown Grand Rapids, June)
- PEDALS (Cannonsburg, September)
- The Dirty Mitten (Middleville, September)
- Iceman Cometh Challenge (Traverse City, November)
We also support several West Michigan race teams across mountain, gravel, road and triathlon.
Book as far ahead as you can. Demand gets high in the weeks before a big event, and booking early gives us time to order any parts and sort out any issues with room to spare before race day. Either way, we’ll work with you to get it done.
