Went in for a wheel truing. Shawn took care of it right away and checked a couple other things while I was there. Very helpful. Probably the only shop I’ll visit for future repairs or sales.
Very friendly and knowledgeable.Went the extra mile to find odd sized tires for my ancient bike ! Thank you 😊Back here to edit :I bought a vintage bike because it was cheap, but it needed new tires .Come to find out the size is very odd and hard to find . I bought online after tracking it down to some warehouse... only when came it was not the correct size .Sean tracked down 2 of the correct size locally and bought the wrong online tire from me !! So helpful, knowledgeable and very quick service . I thank you again !!
Green Light Bicycle Shop located in Belchertown Ma, is a very high quality, reasonably priced, very fast turn around, veteran owned, establishment.I had my bicycle repaired at Green Light on the same day, with less than one hours notice from my initial call of help to the owner— so this was important to me since all of the other bike repair shops in the Springfield Mass area told me that my bike had to be dropped off and that there was a 2+ week wait time for just a diagnostic quote and potentially more time for the actual repair to be made.The owner of Green Light Bike Shop is very pleasant and provided a very reasonably priced bike repair service to me .I sincerely and HIGHLY recommend Green Light Bike Shop for all of your bicycle repair needs and if you are in Springfield Mass, you definitely will not regret making the scenic 20 minute drive to Belchertown .
Instead of waiting days at another area shop I was in and out with 2 bikes in less than an hour. Didn’t try to sell me and definitely didn’t overcharge. I gave an extra $10 for the 0 hassle and quick service. I didn’t realize but he also has quality used bikes inside for sale. I almost grabbed one but I only have a rack for 2 bikes. I’ll definitely be back with any future bicycle needs.
I went there thinking I was going to leave my bike for a few days. I needed tires and a small tuneup. Sean got right to it and I was in and out of there in less than a half hour with some good conversation. He also gave me some needed instructions after I forget how the gears worked
The owner is so knowledgeable and his attitude is very positive, it was such a pleasure doing business with him. He sold me a new wheel and set it all up. I would recommend everyone who needs bike repair to stop in. Nice to see!!
Needed a fairly common part and not one shop in the area had it but this guy he also had the best price 5/5 best shop in the area will definitely be coming back again
Very helpful on the phone, thank you! My family lives nearby and I will definitely be sending them your way for any future bicycle needs :)
Outstanding customer service and very highly knowledgeable owner. I took my 10 year old Trek mountain bike there today and he was able to fully repair and service my bike right away. Will definitely be going back here when I need something for my bike!
A good guy, very knowledgeable, made me feel like a person.Will be shopping there again, and soon.
Super fast service!!! Was visiting Western Mass riding the local trails ended up breaking a spoke on my handcycle, after being told by another bike shop I needed a new wheel. I called Green Light and Shawn fixed it without hesitation and got me back riding. Service was very quick and affordable. Also has the best shop helper who is very knowledgeable about all the bike parts!!Thanks again you saved our cycling vacation!!
We brought in two bikes for what we hoped were minor repairs, and assumed we’d have to leave them for a week or two. It was a pleasant surprise that twenty minutes later they were fixed and we were on our way. Service was top-notch and very reasonably-priced. All that and the cutest little shop helper around. We highly recommend Green Light Bicycle Shop.
Quality service, great expertise, reasonable prices, no wait for repairs, and the owner is an honest friendly hard worker. This is where my partner and I will be going from now on to get any repairs or maintenance done. We live in Amherst and are willing to make the drive out there seeing that the shops in Amherst were booking out weeks in advance. Highly recommend this shop!! Support local business!
Owner very helpfull. Has bailed me out many times. Nice to have when you live in town and must have a part or service done right away. Good selection of parts and supplies
Stopped in yesterday to have a rim trued and get some help with brakes grinding. Owner charged me a more than reasonable price and was very knowledgeable and kind! Highly recommend
Stopped by yesterday, he fixed rear derailleur and straightened front wheel on my mountain bike in 10 minutes. All other shops are at least two weeks out for any work, I will definitely be back! I would give a bonus star for a shop dog if I could!
I had an excellent experience of getting my bike repaired. The service was timely and the repair thorough. I highly recommend this bike shop.
Hey Sean, my son Tony and I want to thank you for all your help and the great and AFFORDABLE suggestions you made regarding getting our Trek back on the road. The terrific price you gave us on the rim, cassette and tire along with the new chain made us able to get out there again and we are so appreciative of that. No games, no overcharging estimates, just great bike knowledge and fast service. Its so easy to write this positive review, because we really had a positive experience! Thanks again, well be back!
I just wanted to say that I was so happy to find out that the green light bicycle shop in Belchertown was open my husband is an essential worker and in the nice weather rides his bike to work he got a flat tire last night and I was really worried that I wouldnt be able to find out Bike Shop open. I called up green light bicycle shop and yes they were open and he was very nice and very knowledgeable since Im not about bicycles Im so happy with the experience I had their today thank you so much for all your help
Owner fixed my way out -of- true, rear wheel, adjusted my brakes, crimped my rear brake cable end and tightened this and that in about twenty minutes. Service charge should have been higher IMO.The guy knows bikes !
Easily the most humble person I have ever met. Not everyday you meet a person that has so much interest in something that means just as much to you. 100% the best experience Ive had at a local bike shop. The prices are the best and the experience that he has is the best. I will always be going back to green light bike shop for any type of bike needs I have.
I purchased a bike off the owner about a week ago, and I couldn’t be any happier. Traded my old trek in for a newer bike. Sean (owner) gave me more than I had expected for the trade in and allowed me to swap out my medal pedals. He took care of everything right there on the spot. What amazing service!!!! I was treated with a great deal of respect and was very impressed with his knowledge. After this I then shopped a little more and saw a nice rechargeable kryptonight flashlight and he gave me a good price on it. I needed this upgrade and would recommend anyone to him. 👏👏 Keep up the good work!
Needed my bike serviced last minute. Got rear derailleur and shifter replaced within the hour. Shop owner was very friendly, professional and offered great quick service without an appointment. I would recommend this bike shop for your tune ups and repairs at a very good service price.
Lightning fast repair and great service. Highly recommend! Will be returning!
I highly recommend Green LIght Bike Shop in Belchertown. The owner Shawn knows bikes inside and out. He fixed my problem in 20 minutes (no week long wait) and charged me a very fair price.
Im writing to bolster my earlier post. In the time since I first wrote I bought a second kids bike through Sean and now both my sons have bikes that they absolutely love. In addition to guidance on bike purchases, Sean also helped me pick out a great rack for my car. Sean is always very quick to respond when repairs are needed, and the prices he charges are always less than I would have guessed they would be. Not only that but Ive never once had an issue with a repair or change that was made. I could not recommend Seans shop any more strongly!%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%All around fantastic first few impressions. I wanted to get my young son a good first real bike. I asked at the shop and was given a couple brands to check out. Found the bike we wanted, ordered it through the shop, and they assembled it. My son had the bike a week after ordering it and could not possibly love it more than he does.Not only that, but I brought the bike in there today to have it looked over and was given a free first tune-up. I also had my bike looked over and its running like new as well. Great place!
I had a great experience at Green Light Bicycles. Sean, the owner, was very helpful and speedy. His prices are reasonable too. I got my sons bike tire fixed quickly and was on my way to enjoy a great day biking. I highly recommend Green Light Bicycles.
Sean -- the owner -- is a cool dude! I actually bumped into him in a nearby wine and beer emporium, only to discover our mutual passion for wines. Sean writes reviews of wines for said local shop (I happen to write film reviews but almost set sail in wine review waters, too) and he offered excellent feedback as I was shopping for a red wine to bring to a party. He is also shrewd, attentive, and open-minded as I work for a successful international company that supports local business owners and he was open to seeing if I can bring value and benefit to his business. Id love all business owners to be as down to earth, intelligent, and agreeable to beneficial prospects!
I have been looking for a bike for a good time. I recently found a Fuji Espree that needed a good sprucing up. I brought it down to Shawn and he did an spectacular job! It looks absolutely fantastic. His prices were VERY reasonable for all the hard work that he did. Plus I got my bike back faster than expected! He is very passionate about what he does and is always willing to help someone out. If he doesnt have the part you need there he will do his best to get it for you in a timely fashion. Needless to say I will always be going back to Green Light Bike Shop.
Green Light Bicycle Shop is a treasure!Sean, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, patient and skilled. He has everything you need, whether it is gloves, helmets, or other accessories. He sells dynamite bikes for fair prices, and knows what hes talking about. He can help you find the right bike. His skill at bike repairs is second-to-none, and he is truly a good business man and an asset to the neighborhood. Sean does, fast, reliable work, and he stands by his product.
Excellent service. The work is done quickly and professionally even if I drop by at the last minute. Highly recommended!
Great shop! Sean shared his knowledge and you could sense his enthusiasm for serving customers with frankness and fairness. I got my bike here and ready to roll and it was all done quickly and for a great price! I highly recommend this shop.
I have brought my bike there several times. Great service and fair pricing. Highly recommended.
You may notice that we all know the owners name, Shawn. This is your first hint at the quality of service that you will revive at Green Light Bicycle Shop. I was touring and dumped my bike, but found the shop and Shawn got me back on the road even though it was closed. While he offered good solutions and fixed my bike, he taught me about how to fix it myself as well as use his tools to jury rig a temporary fix to get home. Great service at a fine price with some extra parts to boot, Shawn really just wants us to enjoy riding.
The bikes felt so much smoother after their trip to Green Light. We had to take one of them back because of worn brake pads, and within ten minutes of walking in it was all done and Id learned more about bikes than Id ever was able to figure out before.The owner is very easy to work with and very accommodating! I feel that other places could very easily charge me a lot more, but he tells me about the parts and is very straightforward. Thank you!
Sean the owner has fixed 4 of my bikes. He explains what needs to be done and describes how to get the most out of our bike experience. I brought two of my bikes here from Boston and two from Ware. I spend a lot of time on my bike both riding to work and for leisure. Sean made sure the bikes are safe and ride like I am on a cloud. I highly recommend his art and science approach to bike maintenance and improvements.
HANDS DOWN the best shop Ive been to yet. Upon my first visit Sean ( owner and Tech) was very welcoming and open to any and every question i had to ask him. Sean gave me 20 minutes of his time to explain all of his bikes for sale, what they are intended for and which would be the best fit for me. Overall what sold me on buying a bicycle from Green Light was Seans obvious passion, work ethic and pride in what he does. I am now a proud owner of a completely refurbished Bridgestone Rb-2 and couldnt be happier with its looks and performance.
Everything you want in a bike mechanic...knowledgeable, fast turn around, a great price AND the guy has a sense of humor. His assistant Lance (the canine in residence) watches over the operation. I brought my daughters bike in for a tune up and she was thrilled with the improved performance after the service. She didnt realize how much extra energy she was exerting because it wasnt properly tuned. Shawn knows his stuff. This place is a gem. Thanks Shawn....well be back!
I stopped by Green Light Bicycle Shop only to find it out was closed and not open until 11am. I Called Shawn at 9am to see if I could leave my bike out in front to get it serviced as soon as possible because I am a regular commuter to work using it. Shawn immediately answered and said, I can be there in 10 minutes to help you out. He got there in less then 10 minutes ( probably more like 5) and had my bike fixed in 15 minutes on the spot. He also let me test ride numerous bikes and they all rode so smoothly! Dont hesitate to call or checkout Green Light Bicycle Shop! Shawn does fantastic work and has excellent customer service along with fair prices!
5-star service. The price for quality was lower than some shops in a neighboring town. The owner happily accommodated some preferred modifications to the bike, including moving some hardware over from my existing bike. Im very happy with the product and service, and I dont hesitate recommending Green Light.
Awesome bike shop. I had a mechanical problem (fraying rear shifter cable) during a ride, and managed to make it to Green Light. The owner was super helpful- I wanted to do the repair myself because I had never worked with integrated cable routing before, and he let me use his stand and all of his tools to do the repair, and then walked me through it. He also answered a ton of questions I had about carbon frames and various bike parts, offered us food and water, and let the people I was riding with lounge around in the shop while I did the repair. We chatted a lot about bikes, and I learned a ton in my hour there. Amazing service and a pleasure to talk to, will definitely stop by again if Im in the area.
I was very please with the service Sean provided. He tuned up my bike at a fair price and he even threw in an under the seat bag for me.. It was nice to bring my bike only 1 mile from where I live. I like to support the local businesses as much as possible. If you need a bike, he can get bikes for the whole family! Give him a call or just stop by!!!
Fast and friendly service, Shaun is awesome 👍
Great bike shop. Sean is really helpful, kind and knowledgeable. He has helped me out of many jams. Honest and cheap prices lucky to have it down the street :)
Went to the shop today and honestly I was very impressed, went in with one problem with my bike, come to find out the owner spotted 2 others that could have been safety issues. Overall great service and great prices, paid much less then expected. Highly recommend this shop!
Good guy! You can leave your bike for how ever long they need to get fixed somewhere else...Or you can get it fixed up here for you while you wait. This was a no brainer for me! He did an excellent job and my bike is in better shape than it has been for years!
Sean seems like a good man sold me what I needed didnt try to upsell me at all I would 100% refer my friends to him and I have no need to ever go to different bike shop in the future.
Such a great guy! You can tell Sean loves bikes and I wont go anywhere else to have my families bikes serviced! And he is so great and patient with my kids - they love him and his dog!
The dogs are great,.. even better is the service. I just picked up a Rad Rover electric bike and the owner helped me out with a bunch of stuff. Great shop, knowledgeable, friendly. Best of all excellent prices, beats the stores in Noho and Amherst.
I bought a refurbished used bike from Green Light Bicycle Shop and it was a very good price for what it is. He will change the saddle, stem length, pedals, and even the tires if they are not what you are looking for. A good people/bikes match maker.
Shawn is a miracle worker. He lovingly restored my 1981 Univega road bike that had been rusting in my basement for the past 12 years after shipping in pieces from Chicago. New tires, new cushion grips, and a smooth shifting derailleur - all put back together and running like new at a very reasonable price. It was a thrill to be on it again. Thank you Shawn!!!
Sean gave me a great price on an excellent bike rack, and took the time to show me how to mount it correctly. Additionally, he repaired and spruced up a used bike that my daughter had bought for her 4 year old. Sean obviously is an expert in his field. I will definitely recommend Green Light Bicycle Shop to everyone!
Wonderful find. Great service, prices and passionate commitment to cycling. This will be our go-to place for all of our bike business.
Great location, very helpful and prices are good. Glad to have this service in our town.
Terrible. I went there for the first time just looking to get a rim fixed or replaced. I was being friendly with a dog on the property (I am a huge dog lover and always act appropriately towards all dogs) when the dog snapped and bit me. Yes, bit me. Needless to say, I was furious. First of all, this is a business and pets and animals probably shouldnt be allowed out front, ESPECIALLY if the dog has aggression issues and bites people. What if I was a little kid? Also I feel he may be overpriced. I went to the bike shop in Granby to get what I needed and the guy was nice and gave me a better price. Please dont give this man your business.
Updated my old bike with top quality components! Great recommendations and great workmanship!!! Fast service and personnel touch!! Cant beat the deals. Great service cant wait to go back!!
Very helpful in tuning up my older box store mountain bike for my son. Did it same day and was honest and reasonable. I will go back in the future.
Amazing timing, price, and service. I will definitely be going there if i have a bike problem. I am grateful for a bike shop here in town. I would recommend the Green light bicycle shop for anyone with bike troubles.
I brought an older Trek bike into Green light for a tune up on a Saturday late morning, new tires, spoke adjustment, and a general tune up was completed in under 2 hours!! Great service, excellent workmanship. I highly recommend Green lightDave & Sheyla Thompson
Took my beat up mountain bike here back in June. The rims were so bent on it and the shop fixed both the rims up really nice. They gave it a great tune up too for less money than most bike shops. I recommend going here for repairs.
Excellent shop, and much needed addition to Belchertown. Sean, the shop owner and repairman is friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and fair. He is passionate about bicycles and goes out of his way to help customers. Stop by and support a local business.
I took my Trek 1000 road bike in thinking Id like to upgrade the drive train. Ive been to other bike shops and have been told it would just be cheaper to bike a new bike, so then Im looking to spend $1,500-$2,000. Sean did an excellent job working with what I wanted, the parts he had and his expertise to update my bike for 1/4 of the cost of a new bike. My guess, other bike shops are not willing to put in the time and work to update my bike into what I wanted.Sean is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does, he is also honest about what to expect for the results. My road bike now rides just as smooth and quiet as it did 8 years ago, and now it has the drivetrain Ive been looking for the past 4 years.I hands down would trust Sean at Green Light Bicyles with any of my bikes for maintenance and upgrades. Sean is an excellent craftsman and bike mechanic.
Awesome shop, very knowledgeable and eager to work on bikes. Had a full overhaul done on my mountain bike, he put it on the stand as soon as I brought it in. Very reasonably priced and quick turn around for the service.
I had an excellent experience. My bike is in way better shape and I learned of a great route to Amherst. His prices and enthusiasm cant be beat.
Sean at Green Light set me up with a beautiful All City; I am riding every day and loving every minute of it. I can even commute to work on my bike now!
Just had my bike breaks fixed, new chain and a fantastic new seat. The owner, Sean, was made my bike good as new. I am ready to ride into work tomorrow!
Best prices on parts, accessories. Always a healthy supply of the basics: Tubes, tires, chains, cables, and saddles. Fresh helmets and Saris racks are in
This place is great!
Just passing through Belchertown on a long trip north.My son had really bumped his back wheel out of true on his last ride.He has a nice cyclocross bike by Felt. I thought the wheel might even have been totally trashed. Stopped in to Green Light on a tip and not only was he able to fix it--but he got it done in about 10 minutes while we waited and did a first class job. Very nice and knowledgeable guy. I only wish I lived in the area so I could go to such a great shop all the time. Loved Lance the dog assistant too!
I rely on Sean to keep my fleet in good training/racing order! The turn around time for repairs and upgrades is great!
The owner is nice and very knowledgeable. I was able to get a hard to find part at a great price.
I was in the middle of a long ride when I lost 2 chainring bolts. I was able to limp to Green Light Bicycle shop where the owner was able to fix my bike very quickly, and inform me that I had originally installed the wrong type of bolts for the type of chainring that I have. I was able to finish the ride with zero mechanical trouble.Green Light Bicycle Shop literally saved the day.
Very knowledgeable and reasonable.Quick turn around and quality work.
I cant say enough about Shawn and this shop. He set me up with an incredibly reliable bike for a tour to Chicago, which I was able to complete over the following 16 days nearly without incident. He taught me a number of things about bike maintenance, bike features, touring/racing bikes, and reliability. As a fellow bike tourist with many years experience, he helped me on my journey, sheltered, and fed me 2 meals.Some background: I had just embarked 1 day prior on a bike tour from Boston to Chicago. I ran into Shawn on the rail trail by Amherst at around 7:30 PM. It was raining and I had a helluva day replacing a wheel which had warped, and changing 2 flats. Shawn identified me as a tourist, introduced himself, and offered to put me up for the night.What followed was a tour-defining sequence of events in which Shawn transferred over all the parts from my bike to an upgraded touring frame. At first I was tentative because I had only just met the guy, but as he explained it I realized how little preparation I had put into my equipment for the trip, and how much there was to be gained from what he taught me and what he swapped over.In short, I was doing it all wrong, and Shawn helped me right that. I am a 63, 225 pound guy, and had been riding a 55 cm Trek 400 frame with only a rear rack and panniers. The weight on the back of the bike was what had caused the wheel to warp as well as the flats. He swapped everything he could over to a 58 cm Raleigh 502 frame, and switched my 32 spoke double walled aluminum wheels for 36 and 40 spoke rear and front double-walled aluminum wheels, respectively. He explained each part as we switched it over, including how my shifters worked, how to wrap the handlebar, how the front and rear derailleurs worked, and even pointing out to me that my front wheel on the old bike had been rubbing against the rain-guard installed just prior to the journey.What I find to be incredible, besides that he was willing to go to the 2.5 hour effort of switching everything over as well as explain things to a nooby like me, was that none of this had ever come up at either bike shop I visited prior to the trip. At other shops, I bought a rear rack with no explanation that I would need a front one as well for all the weight I carried, I bought a longer stem with no explanation that what I really needed was a larger frame, and I bought the rain-guard trusting that they would faithfully install it - they did not and what resulted was more effort on my part to get my bike across the state. The fact of the matter is that these other shops dont care about their customers the way Shawn does, they are not as resourceful, and they simply dont have his experience.I would recommend Green Light Bicycle to anyone who is serious about their bike and their service. With Shawn, every technical discussion is clear, the price is fair, and the benefit is astounding. I could not have made it to Chicago without you, Shawn!
My bicycle was making some wierd noises from the drivetrain so I decieded to get it fixed. I looked up some local bike shop around and found Green Light Bicycle Shop and started to read some reviews. I saw a few nasty comments left by some but majority of them were positive. I brought my bike to the shop and was greeted by a friendly dog at first. As I walked in the door I noticed a few people and was excepted with a pleasnt, friendly smile and warm welcoming. I asked if I could bring the bike into his(Sean) place and he smiled and said yes lets take a look at it on the spot. I explained about the problem and Sean took his time and placed my bike on his working station right there and got it going. He walked me through about what every component function was and what failed. He offered me a few viariaty (didnt pressure me to spend top dollar but was more concern about getting me back on the road safely in a prompt efficient manner) and I selected the one that worked best for me. He offered to installed it and I excepted(could have gave me the part and the boot) It was like majic watching Sean do his thing. When it comes to bikes he knows his stuff! He got me up and running like it was nothing! He asked me to take it for a test drive a few times and come back if anything was wrong, and fixed/adjusted it until I was satisfied :) after thats all said and done I was ready to check out... oops I forgot my money! ... hahaha, luckily Sean trusted me and let me ride my bike back to retrieve the payment(trust goes a long way!) I soon returned in about 10-15 minuets and we squared away. He is a wonderful guy, honest, professional, friendly and reasonable which we dont see a lot in the business industry. He takes his time with you and treats you as a human/friend. We should all support local business and not major corporations. We can pay for a FAMILY MEAL vs. paying a CEO for his 10th yacht(figure of speech, who knows how many) who could care less who we are/trust. Thank you SeanSincerelySunny
Quick turnaround and good prices!
Knowledgeable and fairly priced. Clearly very passionate about bicycles.
Sean Donovan at Green Light Bicycle Shop is officially the new Bike Whisperer in the Valley for my money. Hes just amazing!!!! Took on a true labor of love for me & reassembled & restored my husbands vintage UNIVEGA 10, cerca 1976, 10-speed that had been sitting on cardboard in pieces for 10 years in our basement after a move from Chicago. Did it as a surprise for my husband and he was over the moon!!! Every piece was there...I just didnt know what to do with them! Sean rebuilt the brakes, re-ran all the cables, replaced the tires, re-greased the headset, re-gripped the bike, just has that baby hummin now & ready for the road....all for a pittance of $150 for all the time & love he put into it. Seans the man for all your bike needs. Cant thank him enough for bringing the UNIVEGA back!! Seans the man & Green Light is the spot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Not personable at all. I would rather walk 20 miles with a flat tire than get it repaired by this clown
Fixed a spoke in a jiffy. Great work.
