Yelpers - I come from the land of Atlantic City Proof - JOY-Zee, ahraight? Not that Jersey Shore,…read morebut this one https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/christopher-cook-gilmore/atlantic-city-proof/. Anyway - I am here on business and due to my travels had not been able to take my bike to my local Northfield, NJ Beacon sport bike shop for maintenance. Boy am I glad for this serendipity! And betcha you are too! You non-local in search of what I needed. I went in to get the minimum - tires inflated and brakes checked. Possibly going for the full tune up to a cool 50USD. I would be more than willing to pay this folks for what this gentleman did. I handed him my bike. It didn't occur to me to ask him how long he might be. I looked around the shop then wandered back eventually to the maintenance area. He and his colleague were like "does this sound right?" Move gears fiddle. Check again. Conversation, hushed. I'm like oh no! I decide... let me just walk away... He comes out we chat. He said small adjustments as he really found nothing that required any real fixing. I told him about some discomfort I had and asked if he'd help with any tips on my Raleigh Avenir foldable bike? He's like "to be honest, we had to YouTube the Shimano gear stuff to see if the small tweaks we did with one of the wires was correct. And I recommend that you take it to your other shop for that but it all looks fine. But I see you sitting on the bike and let's try something." He moves things around. Has me sit. He had me raise the pedal to three o'clock on one side. Asks me to hop off, more adjustments Repeat. The person's toes should barely touch when seated in a bike he tells me when sitting in the saddle. He marks off with a knife along the post where the seat height should be when I fold the bike down fully - which I avoid doing to not mess up the ergonomics once it's set. He assures me the bike will not rust since it's aluminum. Cause I have no poker face folks. And that's not the Gaga in me talkin' ok? Let's be clear! *laughs* I ask, "so what do I owe you?" His reply. Shrug. "nothing". I look him in the eye, are you sure like? Nods. Yep. I give him my hand in thanks. He did not charge me one red pink or purple cent nickel or dime. Readjusted my seat height. Fixed the tilt of the saddle and let me test it all in the store with three inch wedges?! He be da man, man! The reason I do not give five stars? There is one way in. It's via two glass non-automatic doors and here's little old girl me, walking out the bike and no one opens the door or props it open for me - this lady right here. So I have to maneuver/MacGyver it so I do not get slammed between the one door and my bike handle bars in the crotch... Once I finagled myself out of the store. I hopped right into the bike. Weeeeee!!!! Please if you are not a local and need bike maintenance go here. If you are a local you have a man who knows bikes but more importantly body mechanics and is honest. Check them out friends. And tell them the non-girly girl from out of town who came in, close to closing time, and hopped onto the foldable black bike in the store sent you there way. I'd be mighty obliged. Maybe they'll open the door for the next gal à la Southern gentleman that I find oh so attractive. *wink* right ladies? You know from which I speak.

You know what I like about this place? I have a sweet bike, a mid-level understanding of how to…read moretake care of it, but a true enthusiasm for cycling and the guys here have been chill not to judge me for it. I also appreciate how the bike techs in the back range from young to old dudes that seem to enjoy working with bikes and don't mind when you ask questions during the process. The past few times they've been cool to take care of my minor fixes while I waited and watched. The prices were decent for a blown tube change which came out to be something like $9 for service and $5 for the tube. I do wish they had a bit more of a merch selection regarding bike locks (what up Kryptonite, Abus, Masterlock street cuffs, etc.), helmets, and so forth, but understand that these days a lot of this stuff can be found online. It can also be a bit hectic in there during times when people are bringing bikes back and forth through the narrow aisles, so be patient. Aside from that? I've had enough good conversations about biking, trails, and suggestions, that I'd recommend this shop to others. This place is conveniently located off of 29 in Seminole Square which makes running errands and getting a bike fixed pretty easy. While I'm pro LBSs, I don't mind coming back to PB because of their helpful employees who care a great deal about their bikes. It doesn't hurt that if I need to wait awhile, I can also pick up some records at Plan 9 all in one fell swoop!

Unfortunately, especially among the roadies, you find a lot of snobbery and stand-off-ness from staff unless they see you at their rides/races and you come in wearing Lycra etc.) BUT NOT HERE. My husband and I went in to check out what they carried, and to my delight they carry Felts (I'm a long time Felt rider/supporter!). They didn't carry exactly what we were looking for (my husband is looking for a touring cycle) but they were really friendly and helpful, gave us pointers and said they could order different models if we were interested.

They told me the drive train was "worn out" and all the cables needed replacement. $500 of restoration work needed. As an engineer riding and maintaining bikes since 1980, I disagreed with the assessment. I have put 3 or 4 times that mileage on my Trek without wearing out the drivetrain. Not saying that they don't know what they are talking about! Just saying they won't get my business.​

They called several times to keep me in the loop for the status of the sale. Mark and Kevin 's customer service are first rate. I wished I lived close to the shop because the customer service I received would make me a regular customer. If you live close or far know that you will be taken care of. I highly recommend this business.

I have a couple of mountain bikes that he has helped me with; a hard tail and a dual axle. He's an extremely thorough mechanic with the mind of an engineer. This guy can fix anything and he goes out of his way to make certain other things are correct whenever he is working on my bikes. Some examples include; knowing and applying proper torque on linkage pins and screws so as to avoid overstressing and failures, knowing and using Locktite Blue 232 where it's needed, properly adjusting front and rear shocks, putting the right grease where the grease is supposed to go...he's just a super helpful guy. I recently had a problem with a bolt having stripped the inside assembly of a frame and he used a tap and die to actually rethread the inside of the receiving threads to get me rolling again. Epic service. He knows what he is doing. I have found his prices are fair and affordable. I have also come to value his advice when buying gear. He has saved me money by recommending exactly what I needed and nothing I didin't. We are lucky to have this guy in Crozet. He is a Pro. Go support him. Don't buy that new Maxxon DHS from Jeff Bezos, go to Crozet Bike Shop and pay just a little extra to support this locally owned business; you'll end up getting more than you paid for. : )

I contacted Todd and dropped it off the next day. In only a few days I picked up the bike FULLY ASSEMBLED and was given a 10 minute presentation by Todd on how to proper use the LED and proper start up of the bike. Todd even informed that he would provide free checkups as well as free pickup and delivery in Charlottesville. One doesn't find that service much anymore. The bonus was that final cost was less than Todd quoted and the bike works great. This guy knows bikes and I highly recommend Todd and BASIC CYCLES!

I did not want to buy them online because I needed to try them on because of how my feet are. I have ankle issues and knee issues. If I wear any shoes besides Hoka one one Bondi series I walk with a limp. Due to how my arches i my feet are and my ankles. When you wear them it's like walking on marshmallows they feel so good. I called them up an asked if they had any in stock. The staff was very nice. They said they had them in 8.5 wide which is really hard to find. I went there an was totally surprised they had a bunch of Hoka Bondi shoes in stock. I could not believe I finally found a store that actually had some in stock. Would definitely recommend this store for shoes. They also have a bicycle repair shop in it.

Both times, the service has been excellent and so I am chalking up my one frustrating experience to just not being on top of their game. In fact, one of those times I went in to fix a flat and instead of selling me a tire, they patched the tire instead and did not even charge me. That is above and beyond what you would expect from a business. I also appreciate the business responding to my previous experience and appreciate that they looked into it. Looking forward to giving them more of my business in the future!
