#HolidayOnBank with Foster’s at 305 Bank Street

(Because Foster’s is Ottawa’s Oldest Bicycle Shop)

The thing that always stands out about Foster’s at 305 Bank Street is their personalized service. The owner is on site, behind the counter, making sure you have everything you need. The bike mechanics are bike experts extraordinaire. They know everything—everything—about cycling and bikes from city cruisers to fixies to pro jobbies. That’s Foster’s for you. Find them across from Hartman’s grocery store occupying a nice corner of Bank—and now with the cool, big sign with their logo in a serif-y font.

 

It’s the personalized experience at Foster’s. Get your bike there and you can get it outfitted with all the requirements: bells, lights, baskets, helmets, saddlebags, and equipment for winter riding. They’ll have you up and running in no time. Foster’s has the best brands in cycling—even cycling fashion.

 

 

They don’t call themselves “Ottawa’s Oldest Bicycle Shop” for any reason. It takes years to gain that kind of knowledge that’s unparalleled. Check out their website to learn a bit about this family-run business. And, fun fact: they sell skates, and sharpen skates year-round. Be sure to check out their selection of hockey skates and sticks. Foster’s also sells curling gear, from recreational to competitive. Whatever your level, you can find brooms, shoes, and accessories. That rocks!

 

So give your favourite athlete, whether amateur or pro, the gift of good advice. They can pop by Foster’s to keep their wheels tuned—or to pick up a new piece of gear. Repair estimates are always free and no appointments are necessary. Foster’s even offers quick same-day service.

 

Foster’s is part of historic downtown Bank Street, and accepts Bank Street Gift Cards. Get the card, give the card year-round.
