Had my daughter's rear wheel replaced. Before I could say "should I come back?" Scott had the tube and gears on the new wheel. Fast and very courteous. read more

We have been cycling for 30 years and lived many places in this great country but never have met a kinder, more patient, and competent industry experts as Scott and Paul at BWC. Repairs are prompt and advice is spot on. They keep us coming back !!! read more

Neat bike shop in Charlottesville that is surprising well stocked considering the component shortage. They cater to mostly MTB stuff, but have a good selection of gravel stuff, with a little Road corner. Staff knew what they were talkie about and all seemed very eager to help read more

Very friendly and helpful with the issue I had with the bike I was trying to get repaired.

Specifically for maintenance and repair matters: Magnificent in every respect. You get prompt, professional attention, just the right questions, and first-class work. Scott is a craftsman and explains things very clearly. I've ridden my bike for 35 years. It needed major work. They cautioned me very carefully the work would cost more than the bike was actually worth, and took great pains to ensure that that I wanted to proceed anyway. Later, Scott phoned me again personally about this. They were happy to proceed, but were very careful to have my well informed consent first. Other customers had vastly finer bikes than I have, but in no way was I treated as a lower-priority customer. It was a big job and it was done promptly and superbly. Thanks to them, the bike now rides like it did when I bought it. read more

They sell some good bikes here. Salsas are great bikes. The service wasn't unfriendly, but they weren't trying too hard either, you still get an air of bike shop "would rather be riding" aloofness from certain employees, though there is one employee that I didn't catch the name of who was quite helpful. They have the basic gear you'll need and do carry some touring frames which is cool. read more

The blue wheel is a phenomenal and local bicycle shop and has been doing the right thing for a long time! We had a used bike we needed to get the tire pumped up and checked and they could not have been more helpful. We showed up with the bike in our car and they met us on the sidewalk and we got the job done at no cost and could not have been more convenient. What a great company to have present in Charlottesville, Virginia. Warmly, Dabney ODell read more

Expert staff, fabulous service, and locally owned. I walked in needing a front brake and derailleur adjustment before leaving for vacation where I'll be doing a lot of riding. I expected to leave the bike and come back in a few days because the shop is so popular. A mechanic walked right up, we had a short conversation about the work I needed, and he offered to put it on the stand and fix it immediately. 10 minutes later my bike was adjusted and I was out the door. I offered to pay and they wouldn't accept because it was such a small job so I bought some accessories instead. Thanks Blue Wheel, you've got a customer for life! read more

This place is fantastic. I came here after a friend recommended it. I was a bit hesitant, since bicycles are expensive and a 20% members-coupon at REI was calling my name, but I decided to give them a shot. I am so glad I did. I haven't ridden a bike in years but was looking to get back into it as the warm weather months approached. The staff was very helpful in discussing the types of bicycles that might meet my needs (hybrid v. mountain v. road). They were also up front about the price of the bicycles, and included that in part of the discussion. I found that sort of frankness refreshing, particularly because it is such a large purchase. They offered to let me test ride a few models in the parking lot without pressure, making clear that they just wanted me to understand what each bike was about. In the end I bought a bike and a bunch of gear (which they also helped me pick out without being pushy in the slightest). For those who know little about bikes, this is the place to get started. (And for those of you who know an extraordinary amount about biking, this is probably also the place to go; they know their stuff). read more

Had a very positive experience here. A company sent a seat post that was too long for the frame and offered to pay for repairs at a bike store. I don't know anything about bikes, but the gentleman that helped me here was incredibly kind, skilled, and helpful. They resized the seat and only charged $10. They also helped me adjust a few other things on the bike and added air to my tires. Overall really a great place I would highly recommend it read more

The best service from a bike shop ever! I have never been disappointed. I have bought two bikes there and have gotten fabulous advice and service. read more

I purchased a bike here last week and was very happy with the service I received. The store itself looks like a typical bike store with a selection of bikes, clothing, and accessories in stock up front and a service area in the back. Plenty of parking available, too. They were quite helpful in listening to my needs, letting me test drive some options, and helping me figure out the best bike and accessories are for me. I feel very comfortable recommending Blue Wheel. read more

I'm back into biking at age 70 after not riding for decades. The folks at Blue Wheel are terrific. Great recommendation, excellent service, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more

Quick bike repair for a new bike that was damaged in shipping. Price was lower than expected and it was ready the next day.

Best bike shop in town! Great staff who will go above and beyond to make sure you are all set to ride! Highly recommended! Also have toddler and kids helmets which is awesome. read more

I have been going to Blue Wheel since they were on Elliewood. This is a great bicycle shop. They have never steered me wrong. Today I came in with what I thought was a big problem with my bike. They could have told me anything and I would have believed them. At the very least I thought I'd have to leave my bike for days. Paul fixed it in five minutes for free. This is a wonderful place with people who know what to do. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

They know what they are doing and aren't out just to make a buck. Salt of the earth people. I definitely recommend them.

Came in for a quick tune, as I was short on time, just passing thru town on a coast to coast bicycle ride. Guy at the shop was very accommodating, able to do some adjustments and get me on my way. read more

Super knowledgeable, quick, efficient, and kind. Riding through Town on a multi-day distance ride and they fixed me right up. Thanks guys.

The staff at Blue Wheel is so friendly and knowledgeable. I came in twice to look at different bikes and got outstanding help from two people. I ended up getting a bike from a different store, just because it was a better fit for me- but I really want to emphasize how kind and patient the staff at Blue Wheel was. Not pushy at all. And as someone who is new to the bike world, they made me feel welcome and really took the time to explain everything I needed to know. Thank you again! read more

Had a really great experience buying a bike here! Went in a few times before finally deciding what I wanted and am very grateful for all the help I received! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I ultimately made my decision to buy at Blue Wheel because of the great selection of bikes and friendly service. I highly recommend going to Blue Wheel first if you're looking for a new bike! Just took my bike in for the first tune up and was again treated like a highly valued customer. read more

These guys are great. I came in with a broken bike pump and and when they couldn't fix the pump (Wrench Force) because it had been discontinued, they called the Trek distributor. Come to find out the pump has a LIFETIME WARRANTY and I walked out of the store with a brand new Bontrager Charger pump for FREE ($36.99 value)! The store is very clean, has a decent inventory and the staff is laid back and knowledgeable. The location is a little "off of the beaten path" but I will definitely go back the next time I need parts or service for my Trek mountain bike. read more

Five stars for knowledge, customer service, always having whatever I need in stock, and overall awesomeness. These guys love bikes and it shows. Support your local bike shop! read more
