About IndyBike

IndyBike (officially Independent Bicycle Solutions, LLC) is a small business with a wide range of services for bicycle people, organizations, and companies.  Located in Santa Barbara, CA, IndyBike was started in 2008 by Joey Ernst, a long-time bicycle guy with a whole bunch of industry experience.

Joey's resume:
Three years with USA Cycling as the mechanic for the National Mountain Bike Team
World Cup, World Championship, Continental Championship, National Championship, NRC, CX Gran Prix, & BMX race support experience
Over thirteen years with various bike shops around the country as a mechanic, manager, and even a certified shop rat (WAY back in the day)
Extensive experience with everything from Profile BMX to Shimano XTR to Campy Record
Barnett Bicycle Institute certified mechanic
First-person race experience (as a Semi-Slo/Pro racer, although 26th out of a thousand racers at Single-Speed Worlds 2009 isn't half bad - with a flat tire too!)

Over the years, Joey's supported many top-level racers, including the following:  Adam Craig, Kelli Emmett, JHK, Heather Irmiger, Willow Koerber, Sam Schultz, Jeremiah Bishop, Mary McConnoloug, Michael Broderick, Georgia Gould, Chloe Forsman, Sam Jurekovic, Kyle Bennett, Duncan Riffle, Kathy Pruitt, Jackie Harmony, Katie Compton, Amy Dombrowski, and many, many more.

Joey's attention to detail and commitment to quality is absolute.  International-level racers need their bikes to work perfectly - in three years on the international race circuit, Joey had zero mechanicals related to prior work.  See for yourself - contact IndyBike today!
