I just picked up a 1980's Schwinn Suburban. Very happy with my purchase. Also getting my Better Half a bike. Great service and friendly staff. Thanks and keep up the great work. Testimonial written by Dave H on this site.

On 7/27/2025 Richard C had this to say:
Love this place, worked with my schedule, put the bikes back on the line and fixed more on them when I asked them too, Tossed in some free stuff on the bikes without asking, took one the kids to try the new seat in the bike and offered to replace it if needed to better suit what they needed, on top of all that helped me and my kid put them in my small car. And everything was cheaper than buying new bikes, can't praise them enough, I might live almost an hour away but I will be back for my own bike and any future repairs

On 7/1/2025 J K had this to say:
Absolutely beautiful service here! Would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Very astute in observing repair needs and perfectly matched parts to the repair. Very generous with time and resources and couldn't have found a better shop in a more convenient location than this. #SupportLocal and give 2 thumbs way up for this crew 👍👍

FAQ

Do you repair bikes, and do I need an appointment?

Yes, we do. From simple adjustments and tune-ups to mechanical disassembling and rebuilding. We are willing to tackle repairs of all sorts. There is no appointment necessary for repairs. Just drop it off and we will take it from there.

What types of bikes do you sell, how do you determine their pricing before offering them for sale and are they warrantied?

There is a huge variation in the used bikes we sell—make, model, style, age, quality, and price—ensuring that no two bikes are alike. The range of prices reflects these variations. Our knowledge of the local resale market allows us to keep prices within our customers' budgets and make bicycles affordable for everyone. Plus, we offer a 30-day warranty against mechanical failure.

Why should I buy from you rather than Facebook marketplace or other resale sites?

Facebook marketplace and other resale sites are great places to find deals if you know what you want and what to look out for. Often, bicycles purchased second hand will require additional repairs to make them safe, reliable and functional. This cost can quickly add up to more than the value of the bike. Our bikes are ready to ride with no additional surprise costs.

Do you buy bikes or accept donations?

Yes, we are happy to look at anything you're looking to sell—just bring it in. Also, we gladly accept any unwanted bicycles, as these donations make it possible for us to continue serving the community by keeping bikes affordable and on the road, rather than in the landfills.

Do you install motors on bikes or work on motorized/E-bikes?

Currently, we do not sell motorized bicycles or install motors on bikes. However, we will gladly work on the bicycle components of your motorized bike, though we will not work on the engine. E-bikes can be brought in for a diagnostic, at which point we will let you know if we will be able to fix them.
