Sam and his team of professionals really took great care of me. The facility has a friendly let's be happy atmosphere with great music. All the staff work hard to have a neat workplace. Their work is very thorough and fairly priced. Of course the staff answered my questions. I felt that my riding safety at 76 years old was their primary concern. They are an all American Veteran Friendly Shop. Just go in and look around at a massive inventory of everything involved with biking. JIM read more

Bicycles NYC is my go-to shop, and has been for years. I bought my bike here several years ago, and since then, they've handled every issue--big or small--with professionalism, kindness, and care. The team is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They always go the extra mile--and do it with a smile. What I really appreciate: Quick help for minor issues--often on the spot Thoughtful, pressure-free advice Clear explanations for any repair or recommendation Great selection of bikes, e-bikes, parts, and accessories Fair pricing--usually better than other shops I've tried They've even surprised me with small perks just for being a loyal customer. You don't find that kind of service often. Sure, I've stopped into other bike shops over the years--some are good--but Bicycles NYC stands out. They have it all: expertise, honesty, great inventory, and a genuine commitment to their customers. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Bicycles NYC is huge. It's got everything you could imagine for serious bicycle riders. They were hard at work doing repairs and putting out stock when I was there today. I talked to one employee that told me that currently there's a bicycle shortage. You would never know by the bicycles in this store. I'm here for my out of town visitor's pleasure. They may be pricey but they have quality merchandise. My bicycle riding days may be over but my friends still ride. If you are visiting NYC, or live nearby and are a bicycle enthusiast, I suggest you visit this clean, well stocked, fun decor store. It's wheelchair accessible too. My favorite part of this visit were the antique dogs by the check out counter! I'm sure they're not for sale. read more

Great experience.. i went to tuneup my 8 year old Tern... they actually talked me out of getting the more expensive package that i didnt need.. the tune up was great - my bike is like brand new.. the team there was really good at communicating and i was notified once my bike was ready. read more

First of all, many thanks to Jeff and Shane who took care of my refund request promptly. I wasn't a happy camper when my bike got a second flat tire soon after I left the shop; I had to roll the bike all the way to the West End and got pissed when I found two pieces of glasses lodged in my tire. Perhaps they missed it; or it was my unlucky day--who knows. I emailed the shop with photos. Jeff responded right away offering a full refund. This was not my first time at this shop, so I know the quality work they generally do. What I really appreciate is their attitude. They worked with me to fix the problem, both repairing my second flat tire and refund. I highly recommend this bike shop for both purchase and repair. While waiting, I saw how they worked with a tiny kid getting his first bike, and it was heart-warming. A perfect neighborhood bike shop for all ages. Thank you. read more

I've been biking for a long time and have dealt with many bike shops over the years, here in Manhattan and on Long Island. I needed my rear wheel trued on my hybrid. What gets them the 5 stars, the staff..Helpful, professional and most of all pleasant. Some shops are just downright arrogant. With all the choices in bike shops in the city, I guess I got lucky picking this shop. From now on, only shop I will be going to is this one. read more

I'm old and I lived in NYC since 2000. And I've biked for all those years. In the aughts there were bike stores owned locally that gave excellent customer. And then when rents went up those bike shops closed. Today, I found the rare vestige of that type of bike shop. Room to browse, friendly staff, mechanics that care. read more

These guys are super nice and knowledgeable. Great bike shop. Wish I was in NYC longer to take advantage of this great shop. They have a wide selection of bikes, both new and vintage. read more

This place does good, quick work. I got fresh tires recently and it took about 10 minutes tops for me to be in and out of there. The only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars is because it's pretty pricey in general. I spent about $150 for two new tires and 1 new tube. I'm from the jersey shore and prices like this would be completely unheard of there - but I get that this is NYC and everything, including bike shops, cost more here so this is still a fine place to bring a bike in the neighborhood. read more

Awesome bike shop in the heart of the Upper East Side! I treat my bike like my baby (have a Cervelo P2 di2 triathlon bike) so I'm always very hesitant to let it out of my sight. I needed to tune my bike up this April before the official open of the bike season. I really appreciated that the staff were extremely knowledgeable about bikes- even triathlon bikes which is sometimes hit or miss with bike shops in the city. They didn't try to up-sell me on the most expensive tune up package but instead suggested a mid-range tune up package based on how old my bike was and the last time I got it serviced. The best thing about this shop is that they will text you when your bike is available for pickup. It's been about two months since I got my bike tuned and it's running perfectly! Will definitely be coming back here for tune-ups in the future. read more

I wandered into Bicycles NYC A few weeks prior to moving from Los Angeles (mountain-bike heaven) to New York (bike-commuter hell), and began exploring the notion of a folding bike as the best solution to feeding my bike addiction. Sonia greeted me, asked me questions, pointed out the finer points of the Brompton and Tern bikes and let me test drive a couple. When I got back, from the ride, she asked how I liked them - No pressure, no sales pitch - it was more of a conversation between a couple of bike nuts, ranging from the kinds of riding we did to the wide array of choices (and build quality) among models across the folding-bike market. Turns out that while the Brompton is lighter, and more legendary, it's also a more expensive line and the max 16-inch wheel size felt too skittish, like a clown bike, while the Tern's 20-inch wheels and bigger geometry felt like something I could ride all day long. Sonia walked me through Tern's online catalog, answering every question. So, I resolved to buy a Tern - from this shop - and when I moved here a couple weeks ago and wavered between the Verge S8I and the much-cheaper Link, Sonia gave me pros and cons - and again, zero pressure. I finally decided to invest in the S8i because of the silent, low-hassle, no-grease belt drive and internal shifter, and the shop's mechanic set me up within a few hours of taking shipment, even making some last-minute tweaks and mounting a seat post-lock even though it was closing time. I've already ridden my new bike up and down Manhattan at night and across Brooklyn in the rain and I'm, truly, fcking thrilled with the build and ride quality and the shop's staff and service. Did I mention the lifetime tuneup guarantee? That's how you do it, folks. Keep it real. read more

I brought my Brompton superlight in for an overhaul but the tech routed the brake and shift cables so that it could not fold. The mechanic on duty fixed the problem the following day but it took several hours and two trips to the store. Be aware that at least one of their mechanics is not qualified to work on Brompton bikes. Also, they don't have spare parts so you are better off going elsewhere until they have the part you need in stock. That said, I appreciate that the mechanic tried to explain that he was not the person that routed the cables incorrectly, and there were other Bromptons for sale so that he could study the proper cabling paths. I hope they will be able to competently service Brompton bikes someday. I've been a customer since it was Larry and Jeff's, commuting by bicycle to work since 1980. read more

Great service, management, vibe and staffers. Highly knowledgeable, fair, and trustworthy. I was lucky enough to find them, and now have a forever bike shop in NYC. It's a pleasure dealing with them. read more

Strongly recommend avoiding this shop. I brought my 2x10 speed Shimano 105 Trek road bike to them a week ago because the derailleur's indexing was off and the shifting was skipping. However, when I got the bike back, I couldn't drop from my large chain ring to my little chain ring while in any of my *five* highest cassette gears. I brought it back to them pretty upset and they just told me to deal with it, and that using any of those *five* higher gears while in the little chain ring was cross chaining. Cross chaining is a real issue, but usually only in the one or two highest gears while in the little chain ring. I asked them to please fix it, and they gave it back to me even more messed up. The gears skipped all over the place while doing a casual central park lap. Incredibly frustrated, I finally brought the bike to Trek Upper East Side. They took care of it in no time and everything is working beautifully. I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I recommend avoiding this shop. They have no idea what they're doing and terrible customer service. read more

Sorry Jeff, that's not entirely accurate. I was hoping shop of your rep would have known about this issue, I've never encountered nor heard of it. A search revealed some English mechanic who pointed out how carbon wheels are Often unbalanced and that may be why my cornering and descending felt so unstable. Especially with valve extenders. And I was not busting down this hilly course nor diving into corners and I had done exact course on older DT wheels without incident. Another customer came in and i was ignored And that's never appreciated. You fixed my Allied in past and did a fantastic job. Sorry that won't occur in future. Gd luck. read more

The staff apologized for the price gouging and refunded the housing costs. They were professional in admitting to their mistakes and swiftly correcting the issue. I hope to have positive interactions with this shop in the future. read more

Fast and friendly service. Shop is spacious and well-stocked. I came in with 2 flat tires and was helped immediately. I was charged $50 which seemed a bit steep but they also cleaned and lubricated my gears so I was overall satisfied with the service. read more

I've been going to Bicycles (previously Larry and Jeff's and then Jeff's) for years now and they always have what I need. Most recently, Shane helped me purchase two GoCycle electric foldable bikes and it was a smooth transaction as always. I asked him to have them ready by Monday and last minute, I had to pick them up Saturday morning and without working internet he was able to set up both bikes for me in less than 30 minutes! Impressed, but not surprised. Go here for all your cycling needs - I do!! read more

Went to Bicycles NYC to get a saddle. When I got to the register to pay for the saddle which was $220 plus tax I found out I needed to pay an extra $250 just for Sam's time to show and help me to try different saddles. Be aware of that! Then after a month, I asked if I can exchange it since it was not working for me, and they said no. The saddle ended up being too wide. read more

Hoped in for a quick fix today. This is a top tear shop for the average rider. Great people, everything you need

This place is amazing! I really wanted a bike to help me get some fresh air and exercise during COVID lockdown. I emailed 4 bike shops to see if any would be willing to deliver the bike, and Bicycles NYC emailed me back within 10 MINUTES to let me know that they were checking if possible. Within a few hours, they confirmed they could deliver. I was blown away - mind you this was Saturday night at 8:30 PM and I also live about 50 blocks away. Bicycles NYC stood above so many others in terms of working with me and communicating the whole way, particularly during these more sensitive times. This is my first bike in Manhattan (despite living here 12 years - don't know why I waited this long!) and I just took the bike out for 2 hours! Thank you for staying open and for your amazing service! Highly recommend Bicycles NYC for all your cycling needs read more

What a great experience with Bicycle NYC. I walked our electric bike almost forty blocks just so they could repair a flat tire and it was totally worth it. I originally emailed with Jeff to make sure they could do the repair and got prompt replies reassuring me. The drop off was quick. I believe Sam took the bike and told me I could pick it back up in a couple of hours. In about 45 minutes after dropping off the bike, I received a text saying the bike was ready. Picking up the bike was just as easy as dropping it off. I was in and out in no time and the bike is back on the streets. I'm really happy with the service and the turnaround time and the professionalism of the two individuals at the shop when I was there. I have no idea how to fix anything on a bike, flat tires included and our electric bike cost a lot of money so I was really concerned with who I dropped it off to. Bicycle NYC was a lot further away than the local repair shops but it was worth bringing my bike to. They have a work space for repairs and a ramp to bring your bike down. And you can't go wrong when they tell you "I do this for a living, I got you." I'm hoping we won't run into any issues with our bike again any time soon but if we do, this is the first place I'll think of for bringing the bike to. Thanks for the help Bicylce NYC! We rely very heavily on our bike as transportation so I'm really relieved we were able to get the repair done so quickly. read more

Great spot. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable and selection of bikes and e-bikes is excellent. They are also one of the few authorized Gazelle repair places in NYC. Strongly recommend. read more

WATCH OUT FOR TWITCHY PSYCHO BIKE MECHANIC - he traps people by leaving his bike blocking the free air by the window. The moment any customer comes near it he starts screaming and literally waving fists through the window. When challenged he cuts the air supply. Such an ugly and unnecessary power trip. Owner Jeff's hires have been normally pleasant over the years - but this mistake is doing untold damage to his business. Medium height, lightskin twenty something in eye popping tantrum. Avoid at all costs. Shop elsewhere for decent service until fixed. Hope your bike is not as broken as this bully.. read more

Just moved to NYC and needed to service my bike. These guys are the best! Will now be my go to place for service and parts. I had been riding my bike with problematic gears, squeaky brakes, and was not sure about the condition of my old tires. I left the bike with them with a long list of items to be checked and said that if they felt something needed replacement they could go ahead and replace. The bike was ready on promised day . They only replaced what was necessary which was only one item. They adjusted and did what needed to be done. I took my bike to the park and rode it for 90 minutes- it was like riding a brand new bike!! They did an awesome job! Honest, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, Covid safe, expeditious- all in all -cannot recommend higher! read more

Bought shoes and they gave me a free fitting bike fitting. Very helpful. Am definitely a return customer.

Owner Sam was extremely rude to me and other customers in the store. His behavior was so poor that I went across the street to TREK on 2nd avenue. TREK was not only cheaper but their service was 1000% better. Do not support Sam, do not go to his store. He was so insulting and rude to me. His business (he told me) is suffering and this is why he is hiking up his prices. DO NOT SHOP HERE read more

Needed to buy a road bike for a present. Called them up and got help from Robert. He helped me through the entire process from ordering to being there when I picked it up. Amazing service, I can't recommend this place enough! All of the help and thoughtfulness from Robert and another young man who helped me in store was phenomenal. Would recommend 100% read more

Our family was visiting NY with our 7 year old and within half a day found that all of the walking we had planned was too much for our little guy. We were walking up 5th avenue towards the Met and noticed local families with cute and colorful Micro Maxi scooters. Our son was used to riding a Razor at home and I thought that maybe if we had a scooter for our son, he would be happier and keep up with our busy schedule and pace. We googled the scooter brand and found this shop was a 4 minute walk from where we were. We decided to call and they said they did indeed sell them and many colors to choose from. The guy who helped us was so nice! He went and grabbed a box from the back and didn't even hesitate to put the scooter together for us. Our son even chose a bell for the scooter and the gentleman put it on for him. The whole transaction took about 10 minutes and we were off. We highly recommend this shop obviously not only for locals but for visitors in the area! read more

Crashed my bike, thought I needed a new derailer, spokes. Took it in and in literally 5 min, Oscar the mechanic took a 2 min look and said I just needed my wheels trued. Did it right there and then. Honest, fast, fairly priced professional work. Went back out and bike was perfect. I needed to find a bike shop in the City, I found it. read more

This is my local bike shop. I have been to it many times, everything from complex repairs to buying accessories. They replaced the gear system on my 20-year-old bike and it works great. They are always very friendly and helpful, even if I have a question that doesn't lead to a purchase. I highly recommend this store. read more

This place is the best. Everyone is super knowledgeable AND friendly, whether you're just there for a new bottle cage or buying a brand new bike. Shawn has tuned up all three of my bikes this season and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect - by far the best mechanic I've found in any borough. These guys know what they're doing. read more

So glad I found this bike shop! I went to several bike shops on my recent quest to buy an e-bike for commuting during the pandemic, and this shop was by far the best. They introduced me to my beloved new e-bike which I had never seen anywhere else or encountered in my online e-bike research (Charge City - it's awesome and reasonably priced for an e-bike). When I got a flat tire, they fixed it for me as I waited even though they were busy, and for a really reasonable price. They also mounted a mirror and portable bike pump onto my bike for me on the spot when I bought those accessories from them (which sell for the same price or more on Amazon, but don't include someone installing them for you!). All the employees I've met have been friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Alright so here's an honest to God review. NYC bicycle shops universally suck at selling kid's bikes. Just throw them on something pseudo approximately and ring up the sale. Makes total sense because they'd rather deal with me on a $10K carbon super bike than a $300 kid's bike. Here's the thing though ... guys like me that buy and ride $10K sub-14 lb. carbon wonder bikes also have children I'm trying to raise as cyclists (you know, next generation of customers). The guys / gals here really took my 7 year old seriously. She didn't like the color, OK, they tried to see what they could special order. When she was OK with stock at their warehouse, they got it the same day and when we went to pick it up, apparently her legs are too long. So, we try a 24" bike but that stretched her torso too much. And remember, I had already paid for the bike and they got it and assembled it. So they got her a new post and installed it. They got her all freakin' dialed in with a stock Spesh. She's rippin' it with her new bike ... looks much more comfortable! Best $350 I've ever spent for her. Thanks so much guys / gals for taking MY KID seriously and treating her like the buyer and user. I'll be back to your shop with my kid's needs even though Bicycle Habitat is so much closer to me. Hey, may even buy my next carbon extraordinaire here ... all because you guys just took the time to fit my kid. Now, imagine that! Thanks Bicycle NYC! read more

I had the best experience at this shop! Purchased my first road bike; LIV Avail AR3, and the guys were genuinely excited for me! This was my first bike since my 70's purple sparkle banana seat bike of my youth. Everyone was kind and so personable. We drove in from the east end of Long Island and I was so happy we did. Thanks to all for all of your encouragement and support! I just wish I lived closer so that I could frequent this place for all of my cycling needs! They are the best! read more

BIKE LIFE! I feel a little crazy that I didn't know this place was at this location. I've walked past it a thousand times. It's tucked away in a lower area of the side walk so pay attention because I don't want you to miss out on this gem. Searching for a bike for my husband. Living on the upper east side I really wanted to shop close to my neighborhood. This place had EVERYTHING I needed. Stock was the most important as I needed to present the bike same day as a birthday gift. First I called to ask about stock in a size large for a tall person. The staff was extremely friendly over the phone so things started off great. When I arrived they were super helpful and very knowledgeable about what I needed. I got my bike, a lock, kick stand and had the bike serviced before it rode it home. My husband LOVES It! Thank you guys for all of your help. Looking for the best bike shop nyc?
