This has to be the city’s greatest gem...I encountered some of the most considerate, helpful and most knowledgeable people when I took my bike there for repairs. Highly recommend! I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thanks Dan for all of the time and energy you expended in making adjustments to my bike and doing it with such a positive attitude
Needed a flat and my brakes looked at, the guy showed me step by step how to fix a flat and what to do! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend if you are a beginner like me!
Awesome! I got just what I needed for my bike The man there Mr Dan was very kind . He took down the bike, taught me how to use the gears, tips on how to manage the bike and how to properly use it . He let me test ride it. He walks you through it like a family member or an uncle showing you what to do with it. The bikes there are very affordable. If you want a good deal on a bike and awesome customer service and helpful tips you should definitely come here.I just got my bike yesterday and a lock from him and I was very pleased. If ever I need another bike or fixing I will be going back there. Highly Recommend. :)
Helpful and informative staff. Unlike big stores there is no pressure to try to get you to buy the newest and most expensive products. No judgment whatsoever of bike knowledge. Plenty of used and new parts that will fit anyones budget.
Excellent service very informative and friendly. Thanks 😊
Love this place. Been going here for 10+ years and always go back for any bike part need or DIY bike fix. They also have a great seasonal (early spring is best time) selection of used bikes for affordable prices. The money benefits the poor and underrepresented folks.. getting them bikes, fixing them and teaching them how to fix their own bike. This is also a place were peace hope and love resides and open conversations happen
A wonderful asset to the community--you can learn to fix your own bike with the help of volunteers or purchase a solid older build at a fraction of the cost of buying something cheap from a big box store. Everything is used, but built with care from members who are passionate about riding. Bikes range from 50 dollars to around 250 depending on components and cosmetic appearance. If you arent afraid of scrounging through boxes of components, you can usually find what you are looking for.
Amazing place, fix, replace or get a new bike for very reasonable prices
So friendly and helpful! great selection and unbeatable prices. dan helped me get set up with a spiffy hybrid for $80. he taught me how to install by bike lock as well! great company with a great mission. thank you!
Super helpful and chill staff. Good selection of solid bikes
This is an awesome community initiative aimed at keeping bicycles on the road and out of dumps. If youre looking for a second-hand bike, try here first, and learn all about maintaining bikes at the same time.
Got what I thought was a working bike home to find out I was riding a death trap, loose wheels, loose spokes, terrible brakes. Go somewhere else, for a little more you can get a much safer bike at Once Ridden.
Waist of time. Their website and the guy in the shop made the place sound like their main purpose other than offering affordable transportation was to teach new people. Im a novice and due to being understaff and ill coordinated in the front of the shop i felt the only ones that would benefit are those already knowledgeable about and knew what to get. He spoke of teaching people, but i dont see how that could be implemented there. Such a disappointment! :(
Volunteers are really nice and knowledgable.
I’m in love with the place !! I love the idea and the things they do! It was my first day/experience and I’m definitely becoming a member and volunteering!!
A great resource! All volunteer-run community place. Theyll answer questions, help you work on your bike, and have LOTS of spare parts to choose from. It can be a little confusing, and its helpful to ask questions. Prices are good!
Always super helpful and patient. A few dollars will often get you the part you need. A gem!!
Very helpful and affordable.
The people here are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Lots of great inventory in parts.
Really great place to get assistance with your bike, to buy a fully operating used bike, and learn how to fix you bike yourself!
Extremely helpful staff. Good selection. Will let you test and modify as needed to suit your needs.
This is an awesome local bike shop with a knowledgeable staff composed of volunteers. THBC is literally a one stop shop that offers great value to the community by repairing and selling used bikes at a fair price.
It was wonderful experience.
They were friendly and helpful with the question s I had about bicycle. My female freind that was there with me, felt pride in herself when she learned how to repair her own bike.
Very helpful, courteous, and accommodating. Thank you for being there. And dynamite Halloween parties every year; just become a volunteer for an invite.
This place is awesome and amazing and wonderful
Caroline... Carolynn? Was a real sweet heart. Cota had me stressing that i wouldnt make it there in time, she offered to bring my product to me in the event i didnt make it in time (as i was on foot). I was after an inner tube.Even after i managed to make it before they closed, she offered me a ride home because of the potential impending rain. Hella nice :)Ive been a patron of the older coop before, and this new location seems vastly improved. Im happy too see it become a mainstay of columbus cycling culture, from the rider of necessity to recreation. Its awesome. You wont find judgement here.More power to you third hand! And thank you again angel!
Steve is the man : ).
