Stuart’s Cycle

Stuart’s Cycle at 217 Northeast 16th Avenue in Gainesville is a locally owned motorcycle and scooter repair shop run by Roland Stewart and his son. The service bench handles BMW motorcycles alongside Japanese and other brands, with common jobs including tire replacements, headlight repairs, and handlebar adjustments. Pricing runs lower than larger dealerships in the area while the work stays thorough. The shop’s independent status lets it take on repairs and maintenance that owners might otherwise defer, from routine service to electrical troubleshooting. Turnaround is practical rather than rushed, and the team explains what a bike needs before starting. Because the same small team handles each job from intake to completion, riders get continuity that larger service departments rarely match. Located just northeast of downtown Gainesville, Stuart’s draws riders from across the metro who prefer a small-shop relationship with their mechanic. Parts can be ordered for jobs the shelf does not cover. For Gainesville motorcyclists and scooter riders, it offers an established independent alternative to franchise service departments.
