Bike Shop Software and Websites You Build by Describing Them

Mythex lets a bike shop build its own website, workshop booking page and job tracker by describing them in chat. You get a live preview, a real database for every bike on the stand, and a public link you can publish the same day.

What a bike shop needs from its software

The workshop is where most shops lose track. A paper tag on the handlebars says what the rider asked for, but not that the job is waiting on a 12-speed chain, or that the mechanic found worn brake pads and needs a yes before fitting them. When April arrives and forty bikes are queued, the phone rings all day with one question: is it ready? Sales have their own mess: complete bikes in three frame sizes, consumables that run out mid-job, cycle-to-work certificates sitting in an inbox. The software that helps is boring and specific. One record per bike, a status the rider can check, and stock that knows which parts are already promised to a booked job.

Workshop jobs with a status and an honest collection day
Each customer's bikes stored with frame numbers and service history
Daily drop-off capacity set by mechanic hours, not clock slots
Parts reserved for booked jobs so the counter cannot sell them
Hire bikes booked by size and day, with return times
Cycle-to-work orders tracked from certificate to handover

What you can build for bike shops

Workshop booking that fills by day, not by hour

Riders choose a drop-off morning and a job type: puncture, standard service or full strip-down. Each day closes when the mechanics' hours are used up, so you never accept twelve overhauls for a Tuesday. The form asks for make, model and what the rider has noticed, and the confirmation gives an expected collection day rather than a time that slips the moment a part is missing.

Build a workshop booking page for my bike shop. Riders pick a drop-off day and a service level (safety check, standard service, full overhaul), enter their bike make and model and describe the problem. Each day has a limit of 14 mechanic hours and closes when full. Show the estimated collection day on the confirmation.

A customer record that remembers every bike

Log each customer with the bikes they own, the frame number, the parts fitted at each service and any note like 'rear shock due at 50 hours'. When the same commuter comes back next spring, the history is there in seconds. A reminder list shows who bought a bike eleven months ago, so you can invite them for a first-year service before something breaks.

Make a customer app for a bike shop. Each customer can have several bikes with brand, model, frame number and purchase date. Each bike has a service history with date, work done, parts fitted and price. Add a list of bikes due an annual service in the next 30 days.

Stock that knows a chain is already spoken for

Track complete bikes by model, size, color and frame number, and consumables like tubes, cables and brake pads with reorder levels. When a part is assigned to a workshop job it moves out of available stock, so the counter does not sell the last 11-speed chain to a walk-in. Hire fleet bikes sit in the same app with their condition and last service.

Build an inventory app for a bike shop. Track bikes by model, frame size, color and frame number, and parts with quantity and a reorder level. Let me reserve parts against a workshop job so they no longer count as available. Show a reorder list of anything below its level.

A shop website that shows the current workshop wait

Lay out service packages by level with what each includes, the brands you stock, hire bikes with sizes, and how your cycle-to-work schemes work step by step. A small banner with this week's workshop lead time, which you update yourself, saves more phone calls than any FAQ. Add a map and opening hours and riders have what they need before they visit.

Create a website for an independent bike shop with pages for sales, servicing, hire and cycle-to-work. List three service packages with what each covers and its price. Add an editable banner on the home page showing the current workshop lead time in days, plus opening hours and a map.

Reserve-and-collect for complete bikes

Bikes rarely ship well: they arrive half-built and come back for adjustment anyway. A store that lets riders reserve a bike online and collect it built and checked suits a shop better. Add a size guide by rider height, filter parts by drivetrain speed or brake type, and mark which bikes qualify for cycle-to-work. Card payments need a payment provider account you connect yourself.

Build an online store for my bike shop where complete bikes are reserve-and-collect only and accessories can be posted. Each bike shows frame sizes with a size guide by rider height and a 'cycle-to-work eligible' badge. Parts can be filtered by drivetrain speed and brake type.

A weekly view of the workshop queue

See jobs booked in, jobs finished and jobs stuck waiting for parts each week, plus the average days from drop-off to ready. Split takings between bikes, parts, accessories and hire. When the waiting-for-parts count rises, it usually means the common consumables need deeper stock, not another mechanic.

Make a dashboard for a bike shop showing workshop jobs booked, completed and waiting for parts per week, average days from drop-off to ready, and sales split between bikes, parts, accessories and hire for the last 12 months.

From handlebar tags to a job board riders can check

Start by copying what the paper tag already holds: customer name, phone, bike, job asked for and the day it is promised. Then add the one thing paper cannot do, a status. Booked in, on the stand, waiting for parts, waiting for customer approval, ready. Give each job a link the rider can open on their phone. Mechanics change the status from a tablet in the workshop, and the counter stops answering 'is it done yet' calls. Once that works, connect parts to jobs, then add service reminders.

Week one: job tickets with statuses and a collection day
Week two: a customer link showing the job status
Week three: parts reserved against jobs, reorder levels

Getting ready for the spring rush

The useful work happens in February. Publish a pre-season service page, open the booking diary for March, and set daily capacity honestly. Riders who book a service while the weather is still cold spread the load, and the queue in April stays at days rather than weeks. Use the quiet winter months to load your stock list and customer history so the app is full before you need it.

Questions

Can riders see when their bike will be ready?

Yes. Ask Mythex to give each workshop job a status and a link the rider can open. Mechanics update the status, and the rider sees it change without calling the shop.

Can I take bike hire bookings in the same app?

Yes. Hire bikes can be booked by size and day with a return time, kept separate from workshop drop-offs, and listed alongside your fleet's condition and service dates.

Can the shop app handle cycle-to-work orders?

You can track each order from the employee's certificate to handover, and mark which bikes qualify. Mythex does not connect to any particular scheme provider for you; you record the details and invoice them yourself.

Do I need to code to build this?

No. You describe the app in plain words and change it by chatting. The code is there if you ever want it, and on Pro you can edit or export it.

Is it free?

The Free plan needs no credit card and gives daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month for more credits, a custom domain and code editing.

Can mechanics use it on a phone?

The app works in any phone browser. On Pro, Mythex can also turn your published app into Android and iPhone apps that open it, so every Publish updates them.
