The Jumping Slug Community Cyclery

The Jumping Slug Community Cyclery is a bike shop on Dundalk Avenue on the way into Port Alberni, built around the Alberni Valley's growing riding scene. Owner Lee Blais and a small crew of mechanics and sales staff stock top-tier brands such as Devinci, Trek, Norco, Cannondale, Pivot and Surly, covering mountain, electric, gravel, adventure and road bikes for riders at every level. Their workshop offers expert servicing, from a quick flat repair to multi-level tune-up packages and full suspension and drivetrain work, with clear pricing posted for each job. Rentals and demos are a big part of the shop too, letting visitors explore the trails and logging roads around town on a mountain, e-bike or gravel setup, with rental fees credited toward a new bike bought within thirty days. Beyond sales and service, the team hosts events and weekly group rides to keep the community rolling. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday and welcomes newcomers and seasoned cyclists alike.
