Review β„–1

I got this Trek Mountain bike for my son. The lady that helped me was super sweet and knowledgeable. She even adjusted the seat for me (even though my son wasnt even there... I just told her his measurements and she knew exactly what to do). She offered to help me load it in my SUV. Love the price too. If I had bought this new from Trek, it wouldve been $300 but I got it for $120. πŸ‘Œ

Cool concept, friendly staff. I think some of the bikes are a little overpriced. But they put the effort into making these bikes rideable again, so that sort of negates the high price. Definitely a great place to purchase a used bicycle.

So, just picked my bike back up after dropping it off at the Re-Cyclery last week for some extensive repairs. I am SUPREMELY happy. The service I received from Charlotte, John, and especially Paul was outstanding. I purchased some SWEET new parts too, including a new seat, and a bike bell! Im telling you, this place masterfully repaired my bike. Gave it a quick test ride in the parking lot and it is once again a mighty road warrior. Elated.

It was very easy to find and park here. The staff was very friendly. We donated some bikes, it was a very easy process. Just hard to see our kids had grown up and couldnt use their cute bikes any more. ;)

The Charlotte Re-Cyclery is a bike co-op that has an online and in-store shop of custom-built bikes that you can buy. Bikes are built by the community members that run the shop, and anyone can volunteer (after an easy, and incredibly succinct, bike repair class) and even earn credits to build or buy your own bike! Check this place out! FYI: They are on limited days/hours during COVID times; appointments are necessary to shop/test-ride bikes for now.

Review β„–24

I had such a great experience at the Recyclery! They have fantastic COVID protocols that made me feel safe (Im a high risk individual) to try and purchase a bike. They helped me pick the best bike for my needs and it was very reasonably priced! They also included a set of bike lights because it is illegal to ride at night in NC without lights on. I recommend them to everyone and would absolutely go back!

Had to wait 3 weeks to get bike back when I was told it would be ready in 5 days. Shop closed with no notice given to customers. When I finally got my sons bike back there was no acknowledgment of the inconvenience. The bike was correctly fixed though.

Review β„–30

Always willing to help, great prices, and they do a lot for the community. Friendly service and the staff is knowledgeable not only in the product but the local customers as well. Had a flat tire a few weeks back and further complications after the visit but they took care of it same day after calling back. Not a huge selection of bikes but good enough to get you on the road. They work off donations and don’t buy bikes but they do ensure you’re getting one of the best prices in town.

Review β„–31

These guys are doing a great job not allowing old bikes to get to landfill. We should all make an effort to buy used bikes especially for kids since they outgrow bikes so fast.The used bike in re-cyclery are overhauled and then sold. These overhauled bikes are in good condition. However, they arent flawless hence 4 stars.

Im new to cycling and went in fairly unsure of what I needed. Everyone I worked with here was super friendly, helpful, and patient with the my questions.

I picked up my road/gravel bike here. A Marin, no less. Lucked up and found something large enough and practically new. Fair pricing too. The have great deals on accessories, and helpful, friendly people in the shop. I always recommend the Re-Cyclery to people who are interested in getting into biking or are looking for accessories. If you dont find what you want, just come back next week. Different bikes and parts are always cycling through!

Review β„–45

My wheels were stolen off my bike I use to commute and I went in wanting something cheap to replace them. They had a huge selection of wheels and I ended up getting nicer wheels than I had, a new cassette, tires, tubes all for under $70. They also looked over my bike and replaced my brake pads. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff with an awesome vibe. Lots of great, cheap bike parts -- environmentally friendly and supporting local kids to boot. I will definitely be returning to support this place.

Best place to get kids bikes in Charlotte. No need to buy new or big box when you can get quality bikes for a lot less. We donate the old back when its time to upgrade as they grow. Their programs and camps are excellent as well.

Really great volunteers. They hooked me and my family up. We got 3 bikes fixed and purchased a small one for my 4yr old son for an amazing price (20 bucks). They let me and kids help with fixing the bikes so we left with working bikes, greasy hands and a sense of accomplishment.

Helpful and welcoming poeple. While I couldnt find what I need I felt that place was one of the best choices if I needed a new bike. Im not from the area and the guy even helped me with my address. The idea of fixing and selling bikes for much cheaper is an excellent one. Ψ§ΨͺΩ…Ω†Ω‰ Ω„Ω‡Ω… Ψ§Ω„ΨͺΩˆΩΩŠΩ‚

This place is awesome! If youre looking for random parts for older (26in mtb, 27in road, etc.) bike builds, then this is definitely a great resource. This place is stocked full of reclaimed parts from recycled bikes. Lots of options for complete bikes and parts. Super helpful group of people working here that make finding the right part easy. I look forward to coming back here.

Review β„–56

They take donated old bikes, refurbish them with volunteer labor then sell them to raise money for their non-profit. Its a great way to get a nice, maintained, discount bicycle. Its kind of random what they have for sale so stop by early and often! Its not a super elaborate retail setting and its kind of like someones basement workshop. But the staff is friendly and welcoming and the deals are good if you are patient!

Review β„–59

I took my grandsons bike to re-cyclery to be repaired and was more than satisfied with the finished product. Not only did they make the requested repairs but inflated the tires and inspected the bike to insure that nothing else was wrong. I found the price to be reasonable and the staff to be down to earth and friendly. I would definitely return for future repairs. I was also impressed with the fact that they raise funds to help children in need.

Love Love Love the Re-Cyclery!! Eric helped me when I brought in my old bicycle to be fixed and his knowledge and experience helped me decide I needed a different bicycle, safer and better made.He led me through the shop showing me all the bicycles for sale as well as those being repaired before sale. I fell in love with a red Schwinn. Best decision. I love that the money goes towards kids and their freedom. Having a bicycle and being able to get around as a kid is freedom. Thank you Eric and everyone at the Re-Cyclery you all are awesome. Ive told everyone I know to come to you for their Bicycle needs. Thank you for an awesome experience.
