Waterfront Bicycle Shop — Local services in New York

I was the free air sign from the West End hwy bike lanes.

The od European male showed me the dial, saying he can't pump air for me every time, how people ask him pump their air every time and tgat 100 people stop by a day, as if I would actually trouble him or myself like this.

He said new tires would be $20 each plus $15 each for new tubes, $50 for parts and $20 being labor. I did not know what this translates to hourly.

I recently bought a bike at the closing our Kmart that had apparently been in a tied off returned, damaged bike section rather than the ones in good repair from the aisle.

Penn Station was being suspended, the tire locks kept me from being able to examine the other bike I wanted which turned out to have a complete flat, complicated by the employee having on no protective gear and the difficulty my protective hear was causing complicating my ability to examine the bicycles, which I did not understand were all damaged and returned in that area.

Despite not being optimal, I can reduce my need for public transportation which can be riskier with covid-19.

The back tire clearly had damage when I bought it, unfortuately no less from the brakes.

I wanted the bicycle guy to rotate the tires. I was not happy the price was the labor price was the sane as the tube replacement.

Then, the of European male then starts dissing my cheap, yet existent bicycle as expensive to maintain, which would cost more money remedy, and how I should sell my new bike on Craig's List to some unsuspecting idiot.

With a limited budget and things that are becoming more cumbersome with COVID, I was getting annoyed.

I raised my voice at his absurd line of topic.

He then actually starts saying I am permanently banned from the bicycle shop and threatening to call the police who are currently supposed to have their hands full with COVIF-19, because "you are yelling. I have our on cadema." from behind an advertised surgical mask, no less, which had just broken on one side as I was leaving my apartment.

Yelling in NYC is not a crime. And even if I was COVID positive that wouldn't even be a visible injury. They don't even care about impinged spinal cords, bloody noutgs, black eyes, or injured feet frequently causing wrist inquiries, concussions and separated limbs, themselves.

The police say that store fronts can pick and chose what members of the public they serve. Assaulting customers and completely destroying their apartment locks lagging weekly burglaries and vandalism are all things the NYPD wishes they had thought of first.

I guess I'll have to learn how to do all of this sooner than I expected, now, which suits me just fine.

My only concern is my lack of torquing knowledge, possible injuries and hand strength.

This guy is mad as a hatter. Or maybe its that he doesn't have enough underpaid employees to be able to afford to contaminate the Atlantic Ocean from a Fire Island beach house with his naked friends' dangling parts...

I ride the Hudson River Greenway commuting to work and have stopped by this shop many times to use their air - which is not only free, it is the best inflator I have used (you dial in the pressure you want and it automagically gives it to you).

Yesterday I had a flat on the way to work - locked up my bike and walked it to Waterfront at lunch. "Fifteen minutes" they said. I walked out without a claim check or asking how much they would charge - but they fixed it quickly, quietly and for a fair price.

As I ride 40 year old Raleigh, this is not a small deal. Other bike shops I've dealt with don't like to work on old bikes - okay, no problem, but I'm grateful Waterfront...

I am a loyal customer of Christian and the Waterfront Bike Shop for numerous reasons. Aside from its ideal location, Christian and his colleagues are genuine bike lovers who really enjoy sharing their knowledge and expertise with riders. I have used them for the most simple bike repairs to more complex bike makeovers and I have never been disappointed. They are fast and very well priced and are extremely customer friendly, unlike a lot of the bike snobs I have encountered in other bike shops. They have been instrumental in helping me transition from a once-in-a-while rider to someone whose main mode of transportation each and every day is on...
