Our Story
I opened Kettenwerk in a converted courtyard garage in Länggasse because I got tired of watching neighbours push flat tyres home in the rain. What began as evenings fixing bikes for friends turned into a proper workshop — but the promise stayed the same: quick, honest work, explained in plain language, at a price that doesn't sting.
These days we see everything from vintage steel commuters to the e-bikes that carry half of Bern up the hill to Bümpliz. Whatever rolls in, it leaves running quieter, shifting cleaner, and stopping the way it should.

Word on the Street
"Brought my e-bike in dead on a Tuesday, had it back humming by Wednesday lunch. Explained exactly what the battery needed — no guesswork."
Priya S., Länggasse
"Finally a shop that doesn't talk down to you. Fair pricing, honest about what actually needs replacing versus what can wait."
Marco B., Breitenrain
"My grandmother's old steel bike rides better now than it did new. These folks clearly love what they do."
Fabienne K., Mattenhof
