I have been to dozens of bike repair/sales shops and Bicycle Sports is hands down the best shop I have been to. The service is excellent, customer service is unmatched and the prices are more than reasonable! I highly recommend this business from 1st bike to experienced rider!

Went in today to get parts to convert the drivetrain on my bike and get a shock pump. There was a younger guy working on bikes that was super helpful and trying to help me out. But he came to the conclusion that they might not have what I was looking for. I then told them since they didnt have it I would have to order it online.A thinly built older gentlemen then proceeded to tell me we are a bike shop not a library for knowledge I promptly told him that I had originally entered the shop to purchase items, that I had no intention of just asking questions and that I no longer wish to shop here. I had heard good things about this shop before and I am very upset I was treated this way.

Very helpful and friendly. I was looking around town for a spare part for my bike and they had what I needed. They ensured that it fit my bike and it was better than the original part that came with my bike. Very happy with the service!

I recently purchased a new mountain bike at Bicycle Sports and had quite an excellent experience. Jason worked with me to find a bike that perfectly aligned with my riding needs and fell within my budget. He is extremely knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. I have purchased bikes at several shops over the years and this was by far my most pleasant bike buying experience. As an added bonus, the shop also provides great care to their customers throughout the life of the bike with great tune ups and maintenance. Big thanks to Jason and Bicycle Sports!!

Got my bike fixed after sitting in a garage for five years. The service I got from the employees, Bob, Jake, and Micah was very good. Very happy with my experience and I would recommend this place to others.

1st time in the shop and the guys were very helpful. Got exactly what I needed to finish putting my vintage bmx back together so the kids and I can ride this weekend. Thank you for the great service will definitely be back for more parts in the near future. Ed with mr speedy locksmith.

First time stopping in, the person that helped me was great! friendly, knowledgeable and chatted me up for quite a while as I was in research mode -- 2nd time stopping in, the thinly built person was not very friendly at all. but the only reason I decided to post a comment is now their website is showing a specialized rebate MAY apply - and after 5 minutes of research on Specializeds website, neither of the bikes they have added that icon to are qualified... these are holdovers, and clearly they want them gone, but that seems utterly deceptive to me... buyer beware

I have been a customer of Bicycle Sports for almost 10 years! I am a daily rider and I got my first real mountain bike (Raleigh Mojave 29) from them back in 09. This past week I finally got the machine I have been drooling over for many months now! I went over to the big boy side and got a Specialized Fatboy 19. I just love this bike! I feel as if I can ride through anything. Just a LOT of fun! I cant wait for the snow now...The owner Bob and manager Jason are great! Very knowledgable and always helpful. They get me on my way as soon as possible. I have my bikes in there at least twice a year for tune-ups and always have had great service in a timely manner. They back up their products and have a top notch service department.Frankly, I wont go anywhere else. Support our local businesses!

We bought two road bikes from Bicycle Sports (Bob & Jason) and had a wonderful experience. We were never rushed or talked into buying something. We made several visits (due to our odd schedules) in order to find the right bikes for us and were met with patience each time. You can tell how much Bob & Jason love cycling and want to give that to their customers by finding the right bike for each individual. Bob & Jason were great to work with, accommodating, knowledgeable, and have great products in their store. We are excited to start riding our new bikes!

After hearing about my daughter’s great experience getting her bike here, I called and spoke with Jason as well and was greeted with top notch service and expertise. His knowledge and patience made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We’ll be back to get bikes for my wife and son! Can’t say enough positive things about Bicycle Sports. They have found lifelong customers in us.

We came into the store to purchase our first road bikes. Despite having a steep learning curve, Jason took the time to explain different bikes, how they work/sizing, basic maintenance, helmets, you name it! He erased any nerves we had and increased our excitement to get on the roads! It was very obvious that Jason, and everyone else who works there, love biking and sharing what they know. We will definitely be using this store for all of our biking needs!

Just picked up my bike and paid $85. I feel nothing was done to my bike. I regret not ask what have done to my bike while in the store. My bike was perfectly working to begin with, except needed air in one of the tire. I am not an avid biker. I thought clean up the gunks from the chain and lubricate was part of the tune up/ maintenance.

Bob is a professional who knows his stuff! I had a great experience shopping here and leaned a ton about road bikes because of Bob. Highly recommend if you’re in the market.

Tried to visit, browse, look for a bike maybe. Dude blocked us from entering and had no interest in treating us like customers. When someone seeks you out wanting to give you money, dont stand in the door blocking them. Wet will never go back.

I really enjoy biking and they have helped me a lot. I traded the bike I had since high school and bought a new one. They helped me make sure I got the one that was best for the type of riding I do. They know a lot and they teach new things about my bike. I had a unfortunate year with a injury that was work related. I didnt get a chance to use my bike trainer. So they didnt even charge me to switch my tire back to a road tire. Then later I crashed my bike and was convinced I did it. Instead they looked at the damage to my bike and trying to work with the manufacturer to see what might have happened. They could have just told charged me for repair and blame me but they didnt. I am so glad I got my bike here because they have always been truthful with me. I thought I needed a new bike seat but they were able to do some readjustments. I didnt need to spend money on a new seat. They stand by their products and will always give their best advice. They have made my biking experience better and will always suggest them.

I initially went into the store just to inquire about prices and what type of specialized bike was in my budget. Everyone in the store was very accommodating they answered all of my questions. They also provided insight on things that I could do better. They took the time to get to know me as a person not just a potential sale. They found the exact bicycle that was going to suit my needs. I truly recommend visiting the store because they will help you even if you’re not there to buy today but they will help you be a better informed consumer. I ended up coming back two hours later to buy the bicycle that I had originally looked at. So from the bottom my heart thank you ALL of bicycle sports for helping me get the perfect bicycle.

Took my daughters new bike in to get the brakes serviced. They told me they couldnt get to it for a week and it would be >$100. I only spent $40 on the bike. Went somewhere else for cheaper and they did it on the spot.

Awesome staff who provide excellent guidance and service without being aggressively sales-driven. They take the time to understand their customers rather than pushing for a quick sale.

It is always a pleasure to bring my business here. Super friendly staff, always helpful, and they even handle special orders for my trike! All at very fair prices. My tricross bike that I bought last summer is one of the best bikes I have ever bought. They found a bike that fit me and my needs perfectly.

I purchased my first road bike from Bob the owner about 7 years ago. He was very accommodating, letting me ride 3 bikes for about 45 min each! The other shops in town were not very open to this, some even quite rude. Hey, when your spending a small fortune on these things you want it to fit. Thanks Bob! As the years pass we have purchased other bikes from the shop as well, kids bikes and mountain bikes. The whole staff is super to work with. Also, they are always open to chat. I did my 1st gravel race this spring so stopped to talk with Bob about tires, etc...Priceless! As a small business owner of almost 20 yrs myself, I really appreciate a shop (business) like this place.

Review №28

Purchased a brand new bike. First ride out the chain snaps, ruining the grips, scratching the frame and resulted in personal injury. When confronted about this issue I was instructed to contact the chain manufacturer and was given a patronizing speech about how a drive chain works. Only after threatening litigation was my bike restored to proper condition. Fast forward thirty days. My chain is now slipping (probably due to cassette damage from the prior incident) once again I was patronized about chain maintenance. Needless to say my problem still persists after being serviced. One week return policy.... I would strongly recommend choosing a different bike shop. This one left me feeling like a grifted fool.

I come in here at least once a week to either buy something or with a question. Its getting ridiculous. But the workers are always so incredibly helpful! Just today I went in to have a part fixed, and the guy who repaired it let me go to the back to watch and showed me what he was doing. So friendly. Also, they have the best inventory and deals in town. Cannot recommend enough.

Review №37

Anniversary sale on their website states that all bikes are on sale, even 2018’s. Went into store searching for two 2018 specialized models. The gentleman informed me that rather than a sale price, he would offer me 10% of the value of the bike back in accessories. Very misleading and bad practice. I will buy the bikes at Erik’s bike shop instead.

I own a gallery downtown, I have been riding and racing bmx since I was a boy. Never in my life have I experienced such ineptitude in a so-called professional repair shop. My single gear cruiser has been effectively held hostage for over three months, now ten days past its promised return, and still no repair. So now I have to go pick it up, unrepaired after nearly a month without it in Summer and take it to their competitor. The manager took no ownership, in fact the buck was passed onto me in that it needed to be fixed and some how a single speed cruiser is like working on a rocket. Yet the point of their getting the bike in the first placed was for repair. Lastly I had went to them the day after the theft of another bike. I was going to them for the build of my replacement. However, after not receiving my bike I took my new one to Honest Bike Shop and the build (a disassembled boxed bike mind you) was done and the complete bike back to me in the same day. We ride hard!! Dont waste your time unless NOT riding your bike is what you are after.

Nice shop, not willing to part with old inventory. If you are in the market for a Raleigh bike, search Raleighs corporate discount, you can buy your bike direct with free shipping for substantially less! I bought a current model Tokul 2 for $100 less!
