    Because they do all sorts of “custom” work. One time I went in to get my bike serviced, and they happened to be working with a parolipic athlete on their tricycle.

    They are always positive and ready to help. They aren’t there to just sell gear, they want to talk trails, talk experiences and get to know their customers. They ride too.

    They are super nice and knowledgable about all kinds of bikes and tech.
    For service, they will give your bike a once-over to see what it needs and recommend service around the needs, not just the bottom line.

    I've been taking my bikes to The Bicycle Shop for years for service and they always come out so much better than they came in. I can't speak more highly of their service department. They're super fast and organized and they don't mind taking time to answer your questions. I'm not super bike savvy so they've fielded a few doozies from me. ...

    Best bike shop in town. I've purchased a few bikes from them, and have been happy with the selection of bikes and accessories. My first winter in the area we took a bike maintenance class, which they offered for free. It started out with basics (tire changing) but got more technical in the following weeks.

    These guys are fantastic. I have needed a few small parts over the last week or so as my super old bicycle has had many things break, and they gave me great prices or gave them to me for free! They even let me borrow their pliers to rewire my rear brake on site. These guys know their stuff and are truly a fantastic small business!!

    The Bicycle Shop was my go-to shop for all things bikes for four years while at school. The mechanics are friendly and never make you feel dumb for not knowing something, the staff is kind and outgoing, and the work done on your bike will almost always be done quickly and is always done correctly. When we talk about supporting local businesses, this is the kind of business we are talking about. The Bicycle Shop has set the standard high as I have moved away from PA and encounter other bike shops. Do not hesitate to go here for any and all things bikes!
