About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Wheel Works and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures rolling around your tires?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Not really, but I do notice something strange happens when customers leave their bikes leaning against the wall.’ The next day, an old neighbor stopped in and mentioned seeing a bicycle floating above the ground near the workshop. The mechanic just laughed and replied, 'Probably just one of those new airless tires playing tricks on you.' As he finished speaking, another customer’s bike started slowly pedaling itself out the door—leaving everyone laughing so hard they forgot all about ghosts.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wheel Works and noticed something odd in the wheelbarrow outside. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover an old tire with a note inside reading: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking maybe someone was playing a prank. He took the tire home, hung it on his garage door, and forgot about it. Months later, while unpacking boxes from his move, his next-door neighbor popped over with a smile. 'Hey,' she said, pointing at the tire, 'I thought that was mine!' Turned out they’d both been given identical tires as kids—and now they had their very own secret tire club.

3. One afternoon, as customers were browsing tires at Wheel Works, an old voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your lucky numbers for today are posted on the front door!’ A regular customer looked outside and saw '7, 11, and 23' scribbled in chalk. He laughed and said, 'I’d better buy three tires!' The delivery driver overheard and quipped, 'You might need them tonight if you believe that sign.' Everyone had a good laugh, and the day ended with warm feelings among neighbors who stopped by to check their numbers.

4. One day, while a delivery driver was pulling up to Wheel Works, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside: ‘Don’t go in there… they say the old guy who worked here can see your future in tires.’ The driver shrugged it off and went inside, only to find an elderly gentleman polishing tires with a twinkle in his eye. After some banter, the old man picked up a spare wheel and said, 'I see you’ll be getting engaged soon!' The driver laughed it off, but sure enough, later that week he proposed to his girlfriend. Now everyone jokes that Wheel Works has the best tire-readings around.'
