Bicycle Mechanic Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’m applying for the Bicycle Mechanic role at [Company Name] because I can see how the shop runs day to day and know I can keep it moving smoothly. In my last role with [Previous Company] I led a team to service and assemble bikes for sale, and we cut downtime by more than 20 percent after improving the parts check routine and standardising tool use. I’m comfortable with the hands on side of the job and the small decisions that keep a busy shop steady. I bring solid skills in maintenance, repair and assembly, plus a practical eye for components and fit. I work confidently with brake and drivetrain tuning, wheel true checks, and general bike assembly. I’m comfortable advising customers on options and keeping stock levels tidy, including updating price and part lists so the floor stays accurate. One recent day sticks with me. A touring client rolled in with a creaking front end and a snapped derailleur hanger, just before lunch rush. I diagnosed the issue, replaced the hanger and adjusted gears, then ran a quick quality check on five similar bikes to ensure no hidden looseness. The customer left satisfied and the new stock tally reflected the repair work that afternoon. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to your shop team. I can start after training and would be happy to visit for a chat. Kind regards, [Your Name]
