Amazing bike shop. They have taken great care of me. I have a cannondale with lefty front fork. The folks at Long Mont Velo tuned things up and my bike rides smother than I can remember. Highly recommend.

I really like this bike shop. The people here really care about you. I bought a bike for my son and it was a little big for him, which I knew. I really appreciated how they went out of their way to make sure he was a good enough rider to overcome the larger size and then spent some time to ensure a better fit by making adjustments to the seat position and the handle bars.

Thank you for providing great customer service! We were visiting from our of town and I needed work on the back hub of my bike. Your staff went all out to make sure the repair was done in a timely fashion. I will recommend you to my local family of triathletes.

I got a bike roughly 10 months ago to both get back into shape and save money commuting.Since it was a first purchase, I got something reasonably priced and fairly old.I’ve taken my little green machine to Longmont Velo several times, for tune ups, and they taught me how to change a flat.They’re super quick, helpful and friendly. Im looking forward to upgrading soon, and I’m definitely taking it to Velo.

I just purchased a road bike from my brother in law and needed it to be put together as I am new to road cycling. I brought everything to Longmont Velo and Paul said it would be no problem and gave me a great price. Since I got the bike back and started riding, the seat would keep going down and felt loose. I went back in, Paul remembered me and took care of the issue right away and made sure I was good before riding off. I highly recommend Long Mont Velo to anybody who is looking to purchase a bike/accessories or needs service. I will definitely be going back.

I come from a strong road biking background in WI, and I thought I knew about bikes until I bought a mountain bike on fb marketplace.These amazing people have been so helpful getting things setup, they recommended some spectacular tires right off the bat.A few weeks later and I already broke my crank set and they helped guide me through replacing it, they even had all the parts I needed in stock. I needed a bit more guidance than I care to admit and they were extremely patient and helpful the entire time.Make this your go-to local shop. You wont regret it.

Fastest turn around on a tune up EVER in Longmont. I grew up at Bike-n-Hike but Ive never had a tune up turned around in 24 hours. Granted they didnt need to order parts, but they said max is 5 days. Thats Amazing!

I live near Long Mont Velo and have taken my bike there several times. I receive professional, courteous, timely and affordable service. Just yesterday I stopped in with a loose seat and Paul fixed it right then, saying it was out of a sense of community. Thank you Paul! Its great to have you and your bike business in the neighborhood. Theres nothing like a bike ride to help me feel better these days.

Paul and his guys are great! No wonder this place is always packed and its worth the wait. We are lucky to have such an amazing shop here in Longmont. I requested a basic service w/new brakes, chain, and bar tape. My bike is like new and a great price too. Thank you!

They were able to fit a bike rack to a bike that wasnt the easiest to work with, and got it done well before we needed it! I appreciate that they took the time to find a solution and did good work.

What a great bike shop! I am a handcyclist, and Paul went out of his way to research and implement a shifting setup for me so that I can ride without pain. Paul and Anthony do excellent work, and really care about their customers.

Review №19

Took bike in for a rear brake bleed. Got bike back with squishy rear brake lever. Mechanic said I just had to pump the brake to build pressure and that some brakes are just harder to bleed. Lost my money on this place. He even offered to add more fluid. Umm, that is the wrong answer. That is the only $25 this place will get from me.

Review №24

Theres simply no equal to Longmont Velo. I have been to probably a dozen bike shops in the Boulder/Longmont area and Longmont Velo is a notch above. Many times fancy bikes come with an air of pretentiousness, but that is not the case at Longmont Velo. Whether your bringing in a 10k bike or a beater, they will help you out. I had a carbon bike project with a bunch of loose parts and several missing parts. Paul was able to track down the correct parts and get everything to fit like a glove. Not only did Paul and his crew deliver a beautiful finished product, but he did so at a great price. The quality of the work is amazing and Paul is super down to earth. I cant recommend this place enough, I wont go anywhere else for my bike needs going forward.

This place is amazing! I was in a hurry, leaving for a trip and I had my wife’s cannondale bike that needed some minor tweaking before the trip. I brought the bike in with minor questions and Paul the owner along with Maritzo totally helped me get the bike in shape. They were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and gave attention to little details and it did not cost a fortune.I highly recommend this bike shop for all your LOCO bike needs; buying a bike, fixing a bike or just questions about anything, they are your shop.Thank you!

Went in to Long Mont Velo to have some minor adjustments done on my mountain bike. First of all, you wont find a nicer, honest and more trustworthy person than Paul. Paul has excellent knowledge of bikes, service is fast and prices are fair and reasonable. Paul wants you to be 100% satisfied and will make sure you leave happy. I now know where to take my bike when future issues arise and will return in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend to any of my friends.

Stopped into this shop for my first time to get my gears adjusted and a new chain put on. I got to meet Paul (the owner) and Eric (mechanic) who were humming away on other customers rides. Dont think people realize how many new cyclists are hitting the road because of the Covid19 crisis, but you could tell these guys were working hard to get everyones bikes back up and ready to rock. They were very friendly and answered all my questions, plus showed me a few new tricks which Im always appreciative of. You can tell they love bikes because they both had awesome road recommendations for my upcoming travels. Ill for sure be going back to them next time I need help.

In the days of disappearing customer service, this place is a nice surprise. Paul went out of his way to help when my son needed a rim at a good price and needed it done before a race. Paul and his staff are top notch and Ill go out of my way (and past another bike shop) to shop here and have these guys do my repairs.

These guys are awesome! Not only did they explain what was wrong with the bike but they also gave a heads up about the future repairs it may need that were related to the same issue. Prices are more than fair. Couldnt be happier!

Long Mont Velo is a friendly bike shop in the heart of Longmont. There are bike paths leading to the shop from all directions, and plenty of bicycle parking out front. The owner, Paul, was very helpful when I contacted him about ordering a Surly for commuting. He thoroughly measured me to ensure I ordered the right size, and when I fell between sizes, his experience was evident as he pointed out the pros/cons of going with the larger vs smaller frame size. After ordering the bike on a Sunday, I was able to pick it up that Wednesday! Im very happy with my purchase, and the assistance and expertise I received from Paul at Long Mont Velo.

I just had another great experience at LMV. Paul was so kind to check and adjust the front & rear shocks on my 2000 era MTB. Thankfully they arent broken and still holding air. This took some time and a little research. Thanks Paul for being so generous w/your time and know-how.

Fantastic local bicycle shop. Paul is a very knowledgeable bicycle professional. He is totally able to take care of triathletes and Road Racers (maybe because he is one) but then can turn around and help out a local kid with a tricycle or work on an old 3 speed cruiser.He really goes beyond to do what is best for his customers.

Longmont Velo is my go-to bike store now. They take good care of their customers. They are friendly *and* good--most shops are one or the other. Good to see they have started carrying Rocky Mountain bikes.Ive had them do several minor repairs, like truing a wheel, all the way to building a custom wheelset. They do a great job, and turnaround is great. That said, I save all my major projects for the WINTER, when they are not so busy.

This bike shop believes in and demonstrates extraordinary customer service. I am here from Bremerton, Washington to Ride the Rockies with a friend of mine who lives in Longmont. Owner Paul and his staff assisted me with my bike assembly and then with gear train adjustments. Paul found a problem with my bike frame that eluded my local shop back home, and I left Velo with a bike that shifted smoother and more accurately than ever before. Paul also resolved a problem my friend was having with his disc brakes. My friend said later that Paul will be his new bike tech, glad that he doesnt have to drive to Boulder again for his bike service needs. Thank you Paul! I cant wait to send you pictures from our ride next week.

Went to this place with the intention to just get sized for a used bianchi bike I found online. Turns out the bike online was the completely wrong size (way too big) the guys at this store sized me for a small bianchi and gave me 30% off. I ended up buying a brand new bike and I absolutely love it. I am so thankful I found this shop, plus they threw in free pedals for me! go here!

I have a unique 30 year-old racing bike that Paul helped me get running smoothly again. He also knew the right person to do some special frame repairs and didnt hesitate to refer me. I love his and Trudees consultative approach...taking the time to listen and meeting you where you are. They both share their vast cycling knowledge as appropriate to the person in front of them. These folks serve elite athletes who are literally world famous, encourage and help newcomers to the sport, and take care of everyone in between. This business is an asset to Longmont and to Colorado as well as a great credit to the sport of cycling.

Best bike shop in Longmont, strike that, best bike shop in Boulder County. Can not recommend these guys enough. This is a pure and simple bike shop, no side bar of mochas and muffins here. No matter what you ride, a $4 Huffy or a $4000 road rasher, you get a respectable, competent crew that will give you what you need be it sales or service. Glad to have them in Longmont !

This is how all bike shops should be. You can grab a beer from the frig, sit on the couch and watch bike racing, or just hang out and talk bikes with the owner, Paul. This is a shop run by cyclists, for cyclists, but also a great local shop for anybody in the neighborhood needing supplies or repairs.

Review №74

Called a few times to see if they were open per their advertised times on their website and call eventually went to voicemail, so I presumed they were just busy. Drove to their shop and, straight out of 1974, there was a piece of paper taped to their door saying they were closed for the day and that they had planned to be closed. Too bad they couldnt have included that nugget of info on their voicemail.

I race road, cross, and mountain and have been looking for a bike shop since moving to Longmont. Today, I dropped by Longmont Velo, and was extremely impressed. They handled my simple repair request on the spot, have a well stocked store, demonstrated great mechanical ability, and I enjoyed speaking with the owner about his business. With confidence, I can say I wont be driving down to Boulder for my cycling needs any longer, and Id encourage any serious rider in the Longmont area to consider bringing their business to Longmont Velo as well!
