Hello, world.

Velobook is live. Built in Sydney by Dan from Laneway Cyclery and Alex, for bike shops fed up with booking software that's both expensive and a pain to navigate.

Today's the day. Velobook is live at velobook.app, and bike shops anywhere can sign up, set their services, and have a working booker on a public URL inside ten minutes.

Velobook is the work of two people. Dan at Laneway Cyclery in Sydney, who helped shape what a bike shop really needs, and Alex who built the app and experience. The motivation was simple. Existing booking systems are both expensive and a pain to navigate, and bike shops deserve better.

From today you can take service bookings with proper time-buckets, run workshops and rentals from the same calendar, send reminders by email, take deposits, plug in Shopify for parts, and publish on velobook.app/<your-shop> or your own custom domain. 30-day free trial: bookings aren't billed until it ends.

We're a small team and we read every email. If your shop has a quirk we haven't covered yet, tell us at alex@velobook.app. And to Dan: this product exists because of you.

Got something you wish Velobook did?

Email alex@velobook.app and tell us. Half the entries on this page started as a one-line note from a shop. We ship in the order shops ask.
