Want to start by saying I do not know too much about bikes, and I am a novice at best. I called ahead and the associate was very friendly and recommended I come in to test some things out and size me up with the proper frame. When I arrived I was greeted by Mike who was the same guy I spoke with over the phone. He was very straightforward but also elaborated when answering my questions. I was also impressed by his ability to help me with sincerity while also attending to other customers with no issues, not something you see often when people are working by themselves. After test riding the bike he recommended (twice) I asked about a few accessories to add on, some cosmetic and others for fitment. Mike offered great reasoning behind his suggestions and did not try selling me something overly expensive or extra that wouldn’t be necessary for my style of riding. Really felt like he was trying to help me find a bike I would be able to enjoy fully. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely utilize this shop with any biking needs moving forward. I will also add some photos next...

He extricated the cleat and replaced both of them so I could finish my ride safely. He was knowledgeable and kind and very helpful. He took the time needed even though I’m sure he was ready to be done for the day. I wish he had his store in Memphis. His is the kind of service we used to get before the big conglomerate bought out our personable bike shops. Thank you so much for being...
Read moreThe Village Cyclery is such a great bike shop! The owner is always so knowledgeable and helpful. He provides an awesome inventory of high quality bikes and accessories that are built to last! I really appreciate everything he has offered our family in the last few years.
Side note: I used to buy bikes at Walmart and couldn’t imagine spending a bit more on kids bikes. Now, I can’t imagine not investing a little more into quality bikes for them, as we had to replace them and repair them far more frequently. These bikes are built so well and you can really feel the difference when...
