Facile Velo

Facile Vélo is the place to stop for many reasons: • Repairs • Advice on a new bike, upgrades for your existing one, or new and/or upgraded accessories • Wide selection of bikes, parts, and accessories • Friendly welcome and service by Alex By now, I’ve visited the shop multiple times, including for a couple of service jobs on my gravel and MTB bikes. I left happy each time. The shop is conveniently located on the way in or out of Foix—just a 2-minute walk from the train station and a 5-minute walk from the center of Foix. There are some parking spaces just outside the shop if you’re traveling by car, and it’s easy to find nearby parking as well. Inside, there’s plenty of room to bring in your bike for a chat or a tune-up. The product selection is well-balanced to cater to avid commuters, weekend riders, and more regular cyclists. Don’t hesitate to inquire with Alex about anything you don’t see in the shop; he’s always happy to look into ordering items you’re interested in. In the right wing of the building, there’s an associative space well-equipped with “old and used bike parts” where multiple workshops are held for bike maintenance. The space is also open on certain dates for drop-in sessions where you can bring your own bike. I highly recommend a visit for any of the above reasons—or simply to check it out yourself!

I am one of those customers who likes to buy things I am not sure I need and very frustrating for shop owners, However, Alex is always super patient with me in the past, and he will go out of his way to help me find what I want, with out being pushy like in other bike shops. Relaxed and professional service with an excellent choice of parts and bikes. I went in recently to buy something I actually needed and he had it, despite it not being a common part! Thanks Alex

I needed brake pads, a rim tape and a rimtape and everything was directly available. After changing the brake pads, I had to bleed both brakes with a funnel, as I was just passing through, I didn't have such special tools with me. Luckily I was allowed to borrow the tools from the workshop and had great days on the trails around Foix afterwards. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GREAT SERVICE!!!

Alex is always attentive, is very attentive in his choices to satisfy you as best as possible and is very concerned about the best price to offer. We feel the bike enthusiast is respectful of satisfying above all else. And above all, my Brother Mehteh gravel was assembled from scratch with all the great attention to detail of the professional Alex.
