Downstairs and upstairs is a quiet drop-in space for bike sales, bike accessories, bike publications, bike supplies, and bike repairs. I brought two bicycles here for repair, one that as more of a child's toy instead of a bicycle industry piece, and another. Both needed some minor repair and upkeep, which Laughing Dog did for an affordable price for each bike, and included a safety inspection. Walking into their bicycle shop was half the treat, as they were done with the repairs within only a day. Settled in the back lot alley, with parking and two one-way driveways for in and out, Laughing Dog uses their space with a savvy of years. This is something they provide that a place which only "sells" or repairs bicycles probably can't offer you, and which I believe is common to the bicycle workshops of western MA. I had the impression that I could ask about local bicycling trails, bicycling races, bicycling events, bicycling tournaments, bicycling tracks, bicycling stars, bicycling history, and on and on, and get whatever insight I needed. Their sales floor wasn't jam-packed, and was navigable with the large variety of bikes on their sales floor as well. Bicycles ranged from entry level bicycles to professional, tourney, and off-road bicycles. However, their floor had such a variety, it makes me imagine the variety of customers they've helped over the decades. The variety of bells they have on a handlebar by the register add a cute little touch of bicycling history and options for noisy alarms. I found this place as such a treat to visit, I might as well consider it more than where bike experts meet, I would want to visit it for bicycle history and expertise in the local area.

Well, I had a brake emergency last night... called fist thing this morning, brought it in half hour later, had breakfast down the road and picked up a few things at the market in town. Went back less than 90 minutes later, new cable installed, everything else in the brake system was cleaned up and adjusted, brakes working better than when the bike was new a year ago. On the way out I got some maintenance advice, and some suggestions for new tires. All for about $35. Most important for me as a daily bike commuter (ie my primary transportation), I know I can call them up and if at all possible they'll fit me in same day. Priceless! Thanks folks!

I visited this shop early on a Saturday morning. I had gotten a tune-up at a bicycle shop in the Greater Boston area in preparation of cycling Vermont Route 100, and picked up my bike on Friday night (the night before I planned to leave). When I brought it home (and after the shop had closed) I found that my bike's chain was making noise in certain gears. I tinkered around with the derailleur to try to fix the problem, but to no avail. I feared that my Vermont trip would have to be cancelled. I decided to try to find a shop in Brattleboro, my planned starting point, and selected this one because it opened the earliest. I visited there early on Saturday, explained the issue, and immediately was introduced to a mechanic (I asked for his name but have since forgotten it, unfortunately). He kindly and patiently explained what he was doing as he went through his evaluation to diagnose the issue, and invited me to stand alongside him to watch and learn. Within minutes, he deduced that the height of the derailleur was incorrectly adjusted by the previous mechanic, causing the chain to rub in high gear. He made the correct adjustment and it worked perfectly. Amazingly, he didn't even want to charge me more than $10, although I insisted on giving him that and then some for his help (and for basically saving my trip). I love cycling, but I know that visiting bicycle shops can be a frustrating process. Many bicycle mechanics seem to delight in making the customer feel ignorant. Here, the mechanic was not only skilled and instructive, but he was completely without pretension. It is a shame that I live more than two hours away from this shop, or it would be my default for repairs. As it turned out, the mechanic's adjustment on a Saturday morning ended up saving my cycling trip, and the bicycle has functioned perfectly since.

When they…read morere-installed the rear wheel they failed to replace the bolts, loctite them, or bother to torque them down correctly. As a result, they worked themselves loose and eventually caught on my swingarm which caused my rear wheel to unexpectedly lock up at 35/40mph. I luckily did not dump my bike as I fishtailed to a stop but am even more fortunate that this did not happen while I was on the highway, in traffic, or in the middle of a corner. This reckless neglect easily could have cost me my life. It also ruined the new wheel they had just installed, destroyed the sprocket and belt, dented the belt guard, and damaged the swingarm. Lastly, it cost me over half of the month of September on my bike while they did the repairs. After owning up to their neglect they agreed to fix the bike but would not pay to have another mechanic look at it to get a second opinion or do the repair for me. So I was stuck having the same people who could have killed me doing the repair on their own incompetent work. As you can imagine, this makes it very difficult to have much confidence in the safety of my own bike and has put a real damper on riding. Throughout the entire ordeal they acted with indifference and treated me like I was being a nuisance. They tried to reuse the same damaged swingarm even though I made it perfectly clear that everything damaged due to their neglect needed to be replaced. I didn't realize until I got the bike home that they didn't even replace the dented belt guard. When I requested the name of the mechanic for my report to the AGO they outright refused to give it to me. The mystery mechanic, their "Harley guy" still had his job when I went to pick up my bike. As I left they actually had the nerve to tell me not to come back. Disgraceful. For your own safety, do not give Nova Motorcycles your business.

Their website is a bit confusing, but I sent them an email and they responded within a few hours. Website said that we needed to bring our own pedals if we didn't want to use the clip in pedals, but that wasn't the case which was good. On the day that we were trying to rent the bikes, the website was randomly down. I called them and they were super helpful. Took down my name and set aside 4 hybrids for us. We were running late and I called to tell them that and the man who picked up the phone was a bit short with me on the phone. We finally got there an hour late. They happened to have put the bikes away since they assumed we weren't coming. But the guy there was super helpful and quickly got the bikes out and got us going within 10min. He was especially quick because he knew we were trying to catch sunset and were only going to be out for an hour and a half before it got too dark to ride. He even cut the price down from 30 to 25$ since we were going to be out for such a little time. We set off and within 5 min I had a flat. I called him and asked if I could get another bike if I rode back. He said to just wait there and he would come meet me. He rode a replacement bike out himself and met me within 5min. It was so helpful! We were able to return the bikes after the shop closed which was great too. Bikes were great to ride and helmets were good too. Sure the website could use some work (or be functional), and maybe some of the people there don't have the greatest customer service, but the person we worked with was absolutely fantastic and it was honestly the best experience I've had at a rental place in forever.
