This really beats having to drop off your bike.Omar was able to come over and service my bike, he had all the tools to hand and did a really thorough job on my bike. Omar was super respectful and chill, even though my bike is a lower end bike. I think this business is great πŸ‘

I could not be happier with the service. I recently moved back from abroad and had two bicycles that needed re-assembly. Nomad Bicycle Works arrived early, communicated often, and completed the work in about 1.5 hours! My bicycles ride better than they did before, and I didnt have to drag two gigantic bike boxes to a bike shop and wait days for completion. The amount of hassle and time saved is invaluable. I cant recommend Nomad Bicycle Works enough! Omar is a super friendly dude who clearly knows a lot about bicycles. Thank you so much!

I would recommend Nomad BicycleWorks in a heartbeat. I was able to get an appointment easily and quickly. Omar came to the bike with all the equipment. It was veryconvenient not to have to go to the shop. Omar was responsive and understood the issue. He then went above and beyond to repair and check all the parts on my cargo ebike. He was fast and I feel reassured that all is in order. Good value too. Five stars!

Omar is very knowledgeable about bicycles and what must be done to get them in great shape. He is very efficient and well equipped for the mobile service. He fixed several issues on my wifes bicycle during the extensive tune-up that we had no clue were present. Very pleased with the service and happy that the bicycle is in much better shape now.

Absolutely excellent!My hybrid bike gearing got wrecked in a windstorm, so I needed a new rear derailleur, shifter, chain installation and all-around tune-up. After taking the bike to another mechanic in town who did a shoddy repair, I reached out to Omar, based on a recommendation from a good friend and mountain biking enthusiast.I ordered a few replacement parts on Amazon and scheduled service through the Nomad Bicycle Works website.Omar was super reliable, professional, friendly, trustworthy, and supportive and had a great passion for bikes. And very convenient. He came early to the job and got the entire job done while I drank my morning coffee. I was back up and rolling in about an hour, all before my morning meetings at work.When the job was done, Omar suggested I take a test ride and to push every gear of the bike pretty hard, just to test things out. The thing rode perfectly, even better than when the bike was originally built, and the gearing was flawlessly dialed-in. He also gave good recommendations for other upgrades and services I might consider in the future.I was so satisfied with the service, I gave him a tip.I look forward to getting ALL of my bikes serviced by this guy.

Omar delivers great service. He was prompt to the appointment, very knowledgeable, detail-oriented and fast yet thorough as he worked over and tuned every aspect of my bike. He was easy to talk to and very friendly as well. I will happily work with him for all my upcoming bike needs.

Omar was great, scheduled him to come out and look at my bike after the rear wheel got in to a fight with a loose bungee cord. He was able to get it fixed quickly and give the breaks and gearing a tune up, rides great now. Really competitive pricing for the work and a hell of a lot more convenient than having to haul my bike to the shop. Highly recommended!

Omar is now my new go-to for honest, expert, and trustworthy bike repairs and professional consulting. He assembled my new ebike at my house and resolved a host of damage and potential safety problems incurred during the ebikes shipping process. He showed and explained all of his work which inspired the kind confidence that I prefer when I am entrusting my bike (and safety) to somebody else. Omars prices and responsiveness present excellent customer value by themselves, but his good service and expert advice sealed my customer loyalty.Folks, there are things that you could learn and perform yourself such as bike assembly or bike repair but why chance it? Just save yourself the time, frustration, and DIY-caliber execution. Skip to the fun part of biking by calling Omar.Thanks again, Omar. Count on my repeat business!

Omar did amazing work on my bike! As soon as I booked the appointment, he communicated with me immediately about the work I needed done. He was super responsive, on time and did the work in less than 2 hours. My bike feels brand new!! The greatest part is that he comes straight to you so you don’t have to lug your bike anywhere. I plan to go to him for any of my future bike cleaning and repair needs.

Omar was very helpful at every step of the way. Understood my concerns and made suggestions beforehand and then made room for me to raise more concerns during the appointment. He walked through everything he was going to check out on the bike and afterward explained again his findings for those steps. Encouraged me to do a full test ride to make sure everything was working well and even made a great suggestion for a way to add my fenders without getting in the way of my new rack. He was very friendly and worked in the limited grass outside my apartment with no problem. He was early to the appointment and very COVID safe. He also gave me a heads up for any adjustment changes or noises to be on the lookout for and seemed eager to help in any way after if I had additional follow-up concerns. Will definitely be using Nomad BicycleWorks in the future!

Omar did a fantastic job re-assembling my bike, which had been sitting in a box for two years since it had been shipped to DC for my move. It was incredibly convenient that I didnt have to transport the bike and that he could come to me. The online scheduling was easy and he confirmed the appointment the day prior. He was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. I could not have asked for a smoother experience, and am so happy to have a working bike again. Highly recommend!

Omar put together an ebike for me and I’m so glad I chose Nomad! It was easy to setup an appointment online. Omar arrived on time and had me test riding my new bike in about an hour! He was super nice and showed me things to look out for maintenance wise in the future. He even took a look at my partners bike and offered some advice while he was here. It’s so nice to have someone so kind and knowledgeable come to you! I highly recommend Nomad to anyone looking for bike service or assembly. I’ll definitely call them if I have any trouble in the future.

Im a commuter and had an urgent repair to fix. I called Omar, and he was able to squeeze me in. He was responsive to my text, and gave a follow-up call to ensure he knew what he was dealing with when he arrived. He arrived on time, wore a mask and kept distance for COVID protocols, even though we were set up outside behind my garage. He was knowledgeable, and very personable. Fixed my issue, and then tuned some common trouble areas. He even put me to work, and educated me on some adjustments I wasnt familiar with. I will definitely call Omar for my next repair!

Very knowledgable and professional bike tech who comes to your home what else could you ask for. This was extremely helpful for us because we didnt have to take time out of our schedules to drag our extremely heavy e-bike to a shop. Also, scheduling with Nomad took like 30 seconds. Really cant recommend using Nomad enough

Highly recommend hiring Nomad for your bike fix. Omar responded to my appointment request immediately and only required a few pieces of information about the bike and that was it. He showed up early and was able to quickly assess the issues. My bike is a few years old and had quite a few issues and he was able to fix it all in under 2 hours and even provided a complimentary tune up and cleaned the bike up to look as good as new. Can’t beat the convenience of him coming to you. Will definitely be hiring Nomad again for future bike issues.

Review β„–19

We ordered an e-bike off Amazon and assembled it, but the brakes were weak. Scheduled an appt w/ Omar. He stopped by, assessed the situation, and gave his candid opinion about the bike. He did the best he could to improve the bikes safety (poor Amazon purchase on our part -- cheap, shoddy parts and design) but didnt charge us because of his legitimate lingering safety concerns. Tipped him anyway for his time, skill, experience & honesty. He even provided a recommendation on a reputable American e-bike dealer. Punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, honest, fair. Would use him again w/o hesitation!

Omar was great - I booked him a day in advance for a 9am as he had an opening in his schedule. He came early, and finished ahead of schedule. He completely cleaned my bike and did a bunch of maintenance on it (and as a novice, a few things I didnt realize you could do) in about an hour. Afterwards he was nice enough to teach me a few a things about general at-home bike maintenance as well. Omar is definitely knowledge, I would recommend and will be using him again!

Review β„–22

Cant recommend enough. Its hard to come by someone with the quadfecta (knowledge, passion, humility, and service). My last buddy mechanic saddly moved away and Nomad has so far more than filled my void. I have already had help with a custom build and the advice and knowledge has been invaluable. They were able to work with me step by step explaining as we went along. I hope to be able to foster a relationship with the team Nomad for a long time to come.

I had a great experience with Nomad BicycleWorks! Omar was super professional, friendly, and efficient. He had my new bike assembled and ready for a test ride in no time. Im a total bike novice, so he took some time to walk me through the features of my bike, provide some maintenance tips and suggest some possible upgrades to consider down the road. I had to reschedule my initial appointment because my bike delivery was delayed, and Omar was very understanding and flexible, allowing me to quickly reschedule. All in all, fantastic service! Ill absolutely be coming back for all my future bike maintenance/repair needs!

Omar really is amazing. He fixed a derailleur issue for me and I was really impressed by his responsiveness, professionalism, and sheer competence. He walked me through every step of the diagnosis and repair, and made 100% certain it was good to go before packing up his gear. He works VERY efficiently without taking any shortcuts. Just all-around phenomenal service.

Omar was wonderful. Came straight to my home and did the whole tune up out front. He was very responsive as soon as I booked. He’s very knowledgeable about bikes and knows what he’s doing. He answered all my questions even ones not relating to my bike tune up. He worked fast but diligently and after he was done my bike was shiny and riding very smoothly. Highly recommend!

Omar just did a full tune-up for me, excellent customer service and very responsive when setting up the appointment! Bike feels in excellent shape now, and he took the time to explain what he did, and any potential things I should look out for. I was having an issue with my front tire deflating even when I put new tubes in, and he could the issue in the tire and fixed it. Highly recommend!

Nomad BicycleWorks was the quick, convenient solution to a flat tire I needed this week. Omar brings his mechanic expertise right to your house.

Fantastic service from Omar! Super easy to communicate with before and after making an appointment. He was on-time (even early!), incredibly friendly, and most importantly knowledgeable. He comes prepared, and does great work. Omar also provides helpful input on additional work or parts your bike could use, explains things in detail, and makes sure you are satisfied before departing. Would highly recommend, and wont hesitate to schedule another appointment in the future. Much appreciated, Omar!

Super competent and knowledgeable bicycle mechanic. Omar came to my home promptly at appointment time and within 5 minutes of arriving was building my new bike. Would’ve been done in an hour but I had some custom work done so the appointment was closer to an hour and a half. Omar was very detail oriented in his work, the good kind of OCD you want from a mechanic building a machine that is supposed to work safely. Very professional and was very communicative, both before and after the build via talk and text, offering advice on components, etc. Excellent value for the dollar. My go-to from now on and will be recommending Nomad to others. Thank you Omar!

We hired Omar to assemble a kids bike that we ordered online. The process was super easy, he was communicative ahead of time, and he showed up early. When there turned out to be missing parts in the box, he wouldnt accept payment even though he had already taken the time to come to our house and set up. Ill definitely be calling Omar again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for convenient, friendly, professional service.

What a fantastic experience! Omar is the height of professional, does amazing work, quickly, and at a very reasonable price. You cant beat service at your doorstep.

Brought my bike to Nomads around a month ago and it was literally one of the best decisions Ive made. He runs a very professional and efficient business and I am thoroughly impressed. I went in for a tune up and a few other issues and I left I FAR better cyclists than when I came. Riding position and proper posture have done a total 180 on my knees, my back, and wear and tear on my bike. Nomad will be the only person fixing my bike and giving me pointers and critiques. Thanks!

Review β„–40

Omar is awesome: prompt, professional, courteous and kind. He came to my house (and was even early for the appointment!) pulled out and set up his mobile work station, toolboxes and a stand from the trunk of his car. And had my bike on there for a tune-up within minutes.After an hour or so he asked me to take it for a spin around the block to make sure the problem with the derailleur I was having was fixed properly. He even fixed a few things I didnt mention, including taping the handlebar and replacing a missing end plug on the handlebars.After a few more minor tweaks based on my feedback and it was working good as new. He then put the bike back up on the stand and explained the full scope of work he did. And perhaps what I appreciated most was that it wasnt mansplaining, it was a sincere and thorough walk through of what he did to make sure I understood it, while not talking down to me. Its clear he knows his stuff and is passionate about bikes, and that translates into trying to make sure I understood, too.Omars knowledge of bikes and his professionalism definitely set him apart. The fact that he was a nice guy on top of it all sets him apart. He was done in about an hour, just like he said, and took venmo as payment so it was a super easy transaction. 5 stars. Will definitely call again!

Review β„–41

I purchased an eBike and Omar made the building of the bike painless. Since he lives about a 30 min walk from where I live, I worked out a plan with Omar to receive the bike and build it and I would walk down to pick it up when it was ready. This saved me the hassle of trying to store a boxed bike and coordinate a build time once it was delivered. This worked out great as the bikes delivery was delayed by a day.When I picked up my bike, Omar spent about 30 minutes going over the bike, final adjustments on the bike lock, rack and seat as well as explaining standard daily/weekly maintenance.I will be seeing Omar again for my 750 mile tune-up and highly recommend his services as a bike mechanic.

Review β„–42

Omar is a rock star. Although I purchased a road bike that was 80% preassembled, he spent 45+ minutes carefully installing all of the parts. He tested everything multiple times and provided guidance on how to properly maintain the bike (e.g. when to check tire pressure and how to adjust specific widgets). Responsive, honest, and an all-around good dude.

Omar is very responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. He responded to my inquiry immediately and was very friendly. He asked a lot of questions prior to his visit to be sure he knew the scope and what parts I needed to buy in advance - I really appreciate his desire not to waste either of our time! He showed up as promised, got the work done in a timely manner, and my bike runs better than new now. So much easier and more well done than taking it to a shop. Thank you, Omar!!!

Omar is truly amazing!! He is prompt, knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and kind. He arrived at my house a little early and had his mobile work station already setup to start working on my bike.My bike was in pretty rough shape: very dirty from traveling, rusted chain, squealing disc breaks (EEK!). I wasnt quite sure what all was wrong with my bike, but Omar diagnosed everything and tried his very best to fix it all!!Prior to me going back inside to continue my workday, Omar made sure to ask if I would be on calls and we made a plan on how he could reach me (e.g., texting me when he was done and/or had questions) --SO THOUGHTFUL!! After an hour or so he text me that he was regrettably unable to finish and that I would likely need to take it into a shop. HOWEVER, he explained all that he did (and my bike looked SOOO much better than before) and a full recap of what was still wrong. Turns out my aluminum rear derailleur hanger was likely bent (leading to some shifting problems) and that my front brake pads need to be replaced.Because he was unable to finish though he still spent so much time and effort on my bike, he refused to be compensated because he was unable to completely finish the job. It is VERY clear he is passionate about what he does and takes pride in his work. I cannot put into word how much I appreciate his assistance and the work he did with my bike. Furthermore, he informed me that if I was able to get the parts he would be able to replace them on my bike.THANK YOU OMAR! 5 stars, I 10/10 recommend. I will definitely call again!

Omar was great! He was available soon (bike shops are so backed up these days), and came to my building which was so much more convenient than going to the shop, since I just needed a basic tuneup and minor adjustments. That also meant that I got to ride my bicycle after to make sure everything was fixed. He explained all the work he did, and if I had had more time I am sure he would have answered questions, I was just in the middle of the workday so I didn’t have much time. My bike is working so much more smoothly now! Highly recommended.

Omar was excellent. I think many people, especially novices, have dealt with rude or condescending bike shop staff. Omar couldnt have been further from that.

Omar does amazing work. Everything about this bike repair experience was fantastic start to finish. Making the appointment online was extremely easy, Omar communicated when he would arrive and what I might need to have on hand, and he worked on my bike until the problem was 100% fixed (I had a semi-complicated setup on my bike, and I appreciated the lengths he went to troubleshoot and discuss it with me).I initially booked this mobile service because it felt like the safer option during a pandemic, however I now plan to come to Omar for any and all future bike needs. This was 1000% better than any previous experience Ive had at any bike repair shop in DC (due to the quality of the service, not having to separate from my bike for any period of time, and also how Omar is both nice + willing to explain bike stuff at length). I highly recommend Nomad BicycleWorks for anyones bike repair or tune-up needs.

Review β„–53

I dont write reviews very often, so...let me start with the appt process. You go to the website, upload pics of your bike, set an appt. Omar, who owns the business, reviews the pics and then calls - yes, an actual call - to talk further if he thinks he needs to know more or additional parts might be required. He is very clear with his questions, confirms what parts he has and which you need to purchase ahead of time, and then - he shows up to do the work. I am an in-between cyclist - not casual, but also not a racer. I like bikes tuned sweetly but I dont care about the .00001 calibration. Omar hit the sweet spot for me. He could do more to fine tune, but as we discussed, it simply wasnt necessary for me (and from the beginning I didnt want to spend the money on unnecessary gear). I love that between the call and the arrival discussion, he takes the time to figure out your sweet spot - if you are getting your kids bike up and running, it is different from when you are getting your racer tuned - and then he operates from that knowledge. Omar is able to perfectly complement your needs. The prices are exceeding fair and after a long bike ride yesterday, I can say the work is outstanding. Im really glad to add Omar to my list of trusted go tos.

Omar did an incredible job with my bike tune up on my very old bike and went above and beyond. He is really dedicated and let me badger him with endless questions.

Review β„–57

WOW. Absolutely incredible experience with Omar and Nomad Bicycle Works!!! And perfect for the Covid era: from the easy booking online, to the socially distanced/masked tune-up right outside your own home to the touch-less payment, could not have asked for more.Omar arrived early (!!) to my home and quickly got to work, patiently explaining to me everything he was doing and answering all of my questions. As a relatively casual rider, I wasn’t sure quite what to expect but Omar never talked down to me or made me feel like my questions were dumb. To the contrary, he taught me loads about the bike and the tune-up process and gave me tons of helpful advice. It was a new bike that I had partially assembled, so he took the time to check my work and also to adjust the seat and handlebars to my exact needs. After his adjustment felt like I was riding a completely different (and way more comfortable!) bike.Seriously - Do not look any further for any service you need. Omar was thorough, friendly, and professional. The whole experience was great, and a great value, and I can’t wait to get the bike on the road. I’ll definitely be taking it back to Omar for my future tune-ups. Thank you!

Omar is extremely nice, professional, prompt, and great at what he does! After trying to build my bikes myself I decided to book with NBW because I just didnt have time to finish my work. Omar came early and worked hard on my mountain bike and gravel bike. Whenever I asked questions he would thoroughly explain to me what he was doing and why. I chose NBW because of the great reviews and extremely fair prices, and I will absolutely never go anywhere else in the city for any kind of bike work!

Omar made the whole repair process easy and painless! He was incredibly responsive and was very helpful at every step of the way. He was very honest up front about the state of the bike and what would need to be done. I am a relatively inexperienced cyclist but I felt very confident after Omar explained what repairs were done. The turnaround time on the repair was unbelievable, everything was done the same day (despite it being a holiday!). I would highly recommend Omar at Nomad to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and overall fantastic bike mechanic!

Review β„–63

Cost, timeliness, service/communication, quality -- in D.C. I feel like you have to be willing to settle for two out of those four, typically. Omar and Nomad, however, nailed down all four.I really gave Omar a run for his money. A surly LHT Frankenstein project I had undertaken that quickly spiraled out of control. A quick exchange of emails and a phone call later, Omar showed up. What we thought would be a bit easier of a fix from my photos turned out to be far more of a bike resuscitation than originally thought. But heres the thing: Omars clear communication and check-ins meant I was never surprised. Four hours later he somehow salvaged this trainwreck of a project, at a cost that was low enough I thought he had forgotten a digit.Cant recommend this service enough.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I was incredibly impressed by Omar’s excellent service. Arrived right on time, finished early, and took the time to explain not only what he did but what to look out for in future. Was expecting (from previous bike shops/mechanics) to get shamed for my poor bike maintenance but didn’t get a scintilla of that attitude from Omar. He even noticed my bike trailer hitch and gave me some safety tips for hauling kiddos that I wasn’t aware of. I think I’ve found my new β€œbike guy”!

Omar has breathed new life into my beater bike twice now. I’ve used it for commuting for the past 9 years and haven’t taken good care of it for the last couple. I’ve probably taken it to almost every bike shop in DC over the years. Not only is Omar incredibly convenient (no dropping your bike off and not having it for a week or two) and reasonably priced, he’s also the most talented mechanic to work on my bike. No one else has been able to get my brakes to not squeal. He’ll explain everything to you and gives good advice. Can’t recommend Nomad highly enough. Phenomenal service.

I ordered a bike on line. When it arrived the packaging warned it had to be assembled by a professional and it had no instructions. When I called a bike shop the response was that it would be a wait of a mont to six weeks. When I sent a text to Omar he responded immediately. I dropped the bike off at 7 pm and at 10 am the next morning. He explained all about the gears and brakes and adjusted the seat. Great service. Great price. And right next door!

He also did a tune up and helped me hook up front wheel locks and a U-lock (which would have taken me a while to figure out how to do). In both cases, he came to my apt and worked outside- very convenient and scheduling is a breeze. Really professional and easy to work with. He also explains what he did during the service. Will be reaching out to Nomad for all my bicycle needs :)Thanks Omar!

He did a great job assembling my bike and it was done before I knew it, so quick. I took the bike for a ride and it felt safe and comfortable. Awesome service, really friendly, I’ll definitely recommend it! Great job!

Omar was fast, professional, and responsive. And his prices were better than tune-ups I’ve received at shops in the past. My 10 year old bike rides like it’s brand new! I don’t think I would have thought about in-home bike repair/maintenance if it hadn’t been for COVID, but now I don’t think I’ll be going back to hauling my bike into the shop ever again.

Review β„–78

I have a dinosaur bike, but it still gets around nicely. Ive taken it to two other bike shops in the area for maintenance. The tires and inner tubes replaced, but they kept going flat. Neither shop, even the shop that installed the tires could figure out why the tires kept going flat. I found Nomad BicycleWorks, read the reviews and gave Omar a call. He was very responsive. I sent photos, explained what was going on with the bike and dropped the bike off. Omar gave me a call with an assessment of what was going on with the tires and he would be able to not only fix the issue, but get the bike back to me the next day.When I arrived the next day, he once again explained what was happening with my tires. Ive already referred two other people to him (not sure if theyve called yet), so Im definitely recommending Nomad and Omar if you need bike repairs/maintenance. Great service!

Omar and Nomad Bicycle Works are great! I would give a sixth star if I could. Omar is super nice, meticulous, and highly skilled bicycle mechanic who is able to tackle repairs in the comfort of your own home. He changed the shifters on my road bike today and it rides better than it has in ages. Omar was a pleasure to deal with. The online booking was super easy, I received an email confirmation, and next thing I know hes right at my door on time. The ultimate in convenience!

Omar is amazing. I’ve been having him do work on my bikes for a couple years now and he does an amazing job. The mobile service is awesome and his communication and prices can’t be beat. Hard to imagine why you would go anywhere else in DC.I appreciate what you do!!

Never go to a bike shop for a repair again -- have Omar come to you! Omar is fantastic -- setting up an appointment was easy. He came to my home, was careful and respectful of my rugs and walls while working, and fixed my bike in little time and did a great job. I was having a rear derailleur issue and Omar diagnosed the problem quickly and has me back up and running. He also cleaned my drive train, frame, and handlebars to boot. The cost was totally reasonable.On top of that, Omar was really a pleasure to chat with during his visit. Super friendly. I wont hesitate to call him again with my next repair issue.

Thank you so much, Omar! I picked up a bike recently to have another mode of transportation in the COVID era (like I’m sure many of us have). I replaced a flat myself for the first time and I noticed something wrong with the way my wheel spun. I reached out to Omar and asked if he had a service option to check on my self repair since I wasn’t 100% confident. I sent photos/videos of my bike via email and he identified the problem straightaway and within hours of me reaching out. If the 100% 5 star reviews weren’t enough to convince you, reach out! I’ll definitely be working with him on future tune ups and repairs. Thanks again!!

Omar was very personable and easy to work with and his prices are right on. Scheduling was a breeze. Very user friendly website. No problem at all communicating the pickup and drop off. Conveniently accepts pay pal and Venmo. I lived nearby but he will also come to you. I had a bag rack installed and a tune up. He walked me through everything he did and told me things I didn’t even know about my bike. Very informative. Also recommended things to do that will prolong the life of my bike, since it is older. Great for someone like me that knows very little about bike mechanics. I highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Review β„–84

I had such a great experience with Omar and Nomad Bicycleworks and cant recommend enough! Because Nomad is not a traditional brick and mortar shop, the experience isnt commercialized and I didnt have to compete with other customers who were trying to make purchases or feel like I was being treated as a transaction.Omar is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and customer service oriented in a way that I have not previously seen in bike repair shops. It is important to know that your concerns are being heard and to feel comfortable asking questions of the person working on your bike. Omar gets top marks on all fronts. Just by being available for questions put him ahead of most repair shops in my experience but he understood my concerns and was completely transparent and communicative in answering questions and offering his expertise. I really appreciated the education and the good conversation. The prices are fair and even more so considering the quality of the service.I was immediately drawn to Nomad because of the Mobile Repair option, knowing that getting to a bike repair shop when your bike isnt rideable can be particularly difficult if its not near where you work/live. Though I did not use this option on this first visit, consistency is key and its an option that makes me feel comfortable that I wont need to use a different bike repair shop every time something comes up.Thanks Omar!

Oh man, I don’t know where to even start. I am so impressed with Omar to the point that I need everyone to know of his incredible service. He is a true professional, he honestly cares about his work and making sure that the customer is 100% satisfied. His business model is a preferred model for most working person of today’s time. He comes to your home and services your bicycle. His attitude is so pleasant, I am grateful for his business model. I will do everything to spread the word to everyone I know. Excellent job, Omar!

Review β„–91

Omar faced a challenge with my 1985 Schwinn. It belonged to my mom and has a lot of sentimental value, but was in pretty bad shape. A number of things needed to be repaired and replaced including the tires and breaks. It also needed a bell and reflectors. I told Omar I wanted to keep the vintage aesthetic of the bike and he found a perfect retro shifter. He was very easy to communicate with and always made sure I was up to date on the status of my bike. He even forgave me when I didnt realize I personally needed to buy all the replacement parts after he made the trek to my house. (I still feel really bad about that!!) But he was incredibly nice about it. The bike came back looking great. Im so glad I came across Nomad BicycleWorks and I cant recommend Omars services enough!!

I recommend Omar for anyone in the DC area who needs all things bike repair. He was super professional and allowed me even during trying times to drop my bike off at his home office while taking all precautions to keep a safe social distance.I had a higher end bike shipped down and had parts in a box. He put it together in about an hour and sent pics as soon as it was ready. If you’re a transplant like me and don’t have a β€œgo to” bike shop for repairs, or even if you do have one, check Omar out instead!

Omar was great! Very nice and thorough in his work and explanations. He comes to your house which makes it much easier. I appreciate his honesty about what repairs were worth and not worth it for my bike. I would definitely go to him again for future repairs and definitely recommend him for anyone wanting a great service!

Review β„–95

Omar was knowledgable, reasonably-priced and FAST! I had grown accustomed to paying hundreds of dollars every time I went in for a tune up (including parts etc - our last one cost us half as much as the bike) and then having to wait as much as a few weeks to get my bike back, but Omar did an AWESOME job, charged me $75, and I didn’t have to spend ANY time without my bike. FREAKING AMAZING! Definitely recommend.

Great experience with Omar! My bike had been sitting in a shed for five years and needed some love. Omar came to my place and within an hour, my bike was like new. Hes super friendly, fair, and exactly the kind of person I want to know as Im starting to ride again. All of my business is going to this guy, I promise. Definitely recommend!

Review β„–98

Omar is awesome! I normally take my bike to a shop, but I got a flat tire that I didnt discover until I got home. I dont live anywhere near a bike shop and dont have a car, so I needed a solution that could come to me.I snapped the required pictures and emailed Omar, who responded almost instantaneously and quoted me a price by email. He came one hour later with all the tools he needed to fix the tire. He was fast, professional, and very kind. He also gave me some tips for how to avoid flats in the future. While working on my bike, he discovered a more significant problem. He gave me advice on what was wrong and how much a bike shop should charge to fix it that next time I go in. I am extremely pleased. Thank you Omar! I am a huge fan and will definitely use Nomad again.

Review β„–99

TOP OF THE LINE. I dont write many reviews, but Nomad certainly deserved. First off, its important to know that I was asking for an ENTIRE bike build, not just a tune up. My bike was literally completely disassembled in pieces. Instead of having to drag all of them to Nomad, the Team literally came to me and assembled the entire bike in my home....for only $85. You will not fine that kind of quality service or pricing anywhere else in D.C. Nomad....thank you!!

Omar was very professional and completely fixed my crazy bike. He truly cares about your safety and your bike cruise. More than worth the money! Go to him if you need work done!! Or even a basic tune up.
