"Steve has scheduled time at my workplace the last 3 years now and I cannot believe how convenient the service is. In addition, Steve has been proactive in his bike service. If he sees a problem with a cable, chain or other component he will advise and counsil patiently and will save you more $ down the road because you've replaced a failing component. His professional and timely service has allowed me more time and fun on the trails. That's what it's all about. Thanks Steve!"

About

Steve Parrish knew he wasn't a regular kid. When he was seven years old he was fixing all the neighborhood kids bikes. His first bicycle makeover wasn't very pretty. He pounded conduit pipes to his forks, extending them so they looked like Harley Choppers. He was making BMX style bikes before you could buy them. Bicycles were Steve's passion and he spent all his time and whatever resources he had to make the perfect bike.


When Steve grew up his passion led him to work in a bike shop. But the desire to work outside, away from the stale atmosphere of a bike shop soon led him away. In 1994, with two tires in his garage he started his own business and became The Dirt Dart. He originally thought he would just be fixing bicycles at races. Little did he know the demand for house calls would be so high!


Now Steve brings not just his passion, but his expertise and professionalism to people all over the treasure valley.
