Velofix describes themselves as a mobile bike proshop. I saw their truck-and-pavilion set-up yesterday, parked off Heather Street, on what might have been 14th Street (I think), if it had been marked, except this was within the grounds of the Vancouver General Hospital, where the street plan is trumped by the buildings, which sit wherever they seem to have been dropped.

Velofix looked, to me, to be a mobile bicycle repair shop for an upscale clientèle who can afford the expensive-looking, skinny-tired road bikes I saw them working on. They work by appointment only, so someone booked with them for bike service at that location on the VGH grounds -- quite probably the Suit who is speaking with the mechanic in the photo below. I didn't get a chance to get even a ballpark idea of pricing, but we can guess, right? Click on the images to enlarge them.
