Culdesac Tempe is built on a vision where bikes are not just a hobby, but a way of life. For us, every bike unlocks the city and strengthens community bonds within it. Celebrating World Bike Day is more than just symbolic here; it’s a nod to our core ethos. With over 1,000 bike parking spots, many equipped with ebike charging outlets, it’s clear bikes are central to our car-free community. To further cement this commitment, we’re excited to announce our final retail partner: Archer’s Bikes, a bike shop perfectly aligned with our residents’ needs.
For those in the Phoenix metro area who embrace electric bikes, Archers Bikes is likely already a familiar name. With established locations in Mesa and Prescott, Archer’s has become a leading force in the Southwest’s burgeoning ebike market. They boast the largest ebike selection in the region, making them the ideal partner for Culdesac Tempe as we champion sustainable and convenient transportation. We are thrilled to welcome Archers Bikes to our neighborhood.

Ebikes and Archer’s Bikes: Driving Culdesac’s Car-Free Mission Forward
Electric bikes are a game-changer in the shift away from car dependency. At Culdesac, we deeply believe in fostering walkable neighborhoods, and ebikes significantly enhance this mission. Their efficiency and accessibility make cycling a viable option for more people, further reducing reliance on cars. Given Archers Bikes‘ leadership in the ebike sector, partnering with them was a natural and logical step.
Beyond their extensive ebike range, Archers Bikes is committed to supporting our residents with exceptional services. Culdesac Tempe residents will benefit from exclusive rates on essential bike care, including complimentary tune-ups, tire repairs, and annual bike “health checks”. Discounts on equipment further sweeten the deal. Having a top-tier bike repair shop right here in Culdesac Tempe ensures everyone can keep their bikes in prime condition, crucial for daily commutes and leisurely explorations alike.
Archer’s Bikes at Culdesac will also serve as a vital educational hub for our community members as they transition to and thrive in a car-free environment. They plan to host regular workshops and events for residents of Culdesac and the surrounding areas, fostering a strong cycling culture. We’re particularly excited about the expanded reach Archers Bikes will gain as the Smith Innovation Hub develops nearby, bringing even more business and opportunities to the area, and making Archers Bikes a central resource for the growing community.
Cycling for a Healthier Planet and Wallet: The Archer’s Bikes Advantage
At Culdesac, our vision is a neighborhood where cycling is not just convenient, but truly comfortable and appealing for everyone. Archer’s Bikes is instrumental in helping us realize this vision. The economic advantages of cycling are also undeniable. According to data from AAA, the average car ownership cost is around $800 per month. In stark contrast, financing a brand-new ebike can be as low as $40 a month. This substantial saving frees up considerable funds for other priorities, or perhaps for enjoying the offerings of our other fantastic on-site retailers.
If you’re considering swapping your car for an ebike, you’re part of a growing trend. Ebike sales in the U.S. are now outpacing electric car sales, signaling a significant shift in consumer mindset. People are increasingly aware of their commute’s environmental impact and actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Both traditional bikes and ebikes present a powerful opportunity to lower carbon emissions. A 2021 study highlighted that cycling reduces an individual’s daily travel CO2 emissions by an impressive 84%.
Embrace the Ride with Archer’s Bikes
The benefits of choosing a cycling lifestyle extend far beyond just transportation. World Bike Day celebrates the unifying power of bikes. For over two centuries, bikes have connected people to their communities, transforming every journey into an adventure. Cyclists are consistently reported as the happiest commuters, and it’s easy to see why. We are incredibly excited to welcome Archers Bikes as our community bike shop, furthering Culdesac’s commitment to building for people, not cars. With Archer’s Bikes as our partner, every day can be World Bike Day.
