Trail and Tar:

 

Trail and Tar is not just another running and cycling store; its a social experience based in Tokai. Our focus is not only to furnish our customer's with quality trail running, mountain biking and road cycling gear but also to provide a meeting hub for like minded individual's where they can refresh, relax and socialize with our staff. Our vision is to provide unparalleled service in a friendly and environmentally responsible manner.

Our location is ideal for mountain bikers and trail runners who make use of Tokai Forest. Road cyclists can also benefit from our central location with Ou Kaapse Weg, Chapman's Peak and other mountain passes in close proximity which make for great training grounds for the yearly Cape Argus and other events.

 

Fully equipped Park Tool workshop and indoor bike wash station.

Our bike service station run by an experienced bicycle mechanic uses only top quality bicycle specific tools mainly Park Tool. Our workshop area is the focal point in our store as we believe our clients should have full view of our mechanic at work and can engage him with any technical queries they may have. An indoor bike wash station with water hose and high pressure air gun will leave your bike in near mint condition

 

Free: Showers, lockers, WiFi, DSTV, coffee.

Our customers will have full use of the showers and lockers inside of our store. Sit back and relax on our couch with a hot cup of coffee in front of a flat screen television with DSTV or make the use of our WiFi facilities.

 

BG fitment studio with the latest in bicycle fitment technology.

Our BG fitment specialist Debbie Stopforth run's her own fitment studio within our store. A fitment technician will optimize your ride so that it fits your unique physiology. A budget bike is just as important to you as the professional on a race machine and working in close conjunction with the fitment specialist we can get you that perfect ride to suit you wallet.

 

Mission statement:

Our mission is to offer our valued customers: convenience, value for money and excellent customer service in an environmentally responsible manner while creating a social hub for like minded individuals.

Welcome & good luck. I checked your shop and browsed a bit just after you opened. Everyone were friendly, made good bike conversation and there were some very delicious bikes on display. I also liked the open workshop area and the fact that one can talk to the mechanic in person. (I always feel uneasy to let my baby be led to a dark dingy dungeon to be operated on by an unseen hunchback.) I'll be back.
