vanimal is a mobile bicycle repair shop based in St. Louis, Missouri, serving St. Louis City and County. Founded by Francesca DeRanzo, a passionate cyclist with extensive industry experience and multiple mechanical certifications, vanimal operates out of a fully equipped Mercedes Sprinter van stocked with over 350 bike-specific tools and 500+ parts, bringing professional-grade service directly to customers’ homes, offices, parks, or bars.
The business runs entirely by appointment and offers three core tune-up packages — the Dust Bunny ($99), Bunny Hop ($139), and Hare Raiser overhaul ($299) — along with a full menu of à la carte services like flat fixes, wheel truing, and brake adjustments. vanimal also provides corporate and event mechanical support at an hourly rate. In addition to repairs, they carry a small selection of refurbished bikes and have affiliate partnerships with brands like Aventon, Woom, and Guardian. Bookings are made via email at hello@vanimalstl.com.
