Visiting and being serviced by Recycles feels like you are stepping back in time, and I mean that…read morein the most wonderful way! This place is a gem!! You just don't find service and care like this anymore. Several years ago I bought a 70's three-speed bike online. Three speed bikes have a special place in my heart because that was the first kind of bicycle that my grandfather bought for me back in the '60s. Right before the pandemic one of the pedals fell off and for 3 years it has been sitting in my shed. I decided a few weeks ago to bring it to a bicycle shop to get it replaced, and I am so glad that I did! Recycles is located on Spring Garden Street right by Mendenhall which is where I lived when I went to UNCG. Lots of nostalgia visiting that shop and parking in the neighborhood. I loved it! I lived in a bottom floor studio by Mendenhall and Carr for $85 a month! Although the shop has the latest in equipment and technology, it has a very old fashioned feel to it that I really loved. What really makes this place tick is its owner and operator, Merritt White. As soon as I walked into the shop with my bike and waited my turn, I was so impressed how personal he was with each of his customers. Nobody was rushed, all questions were thoroughly answered and you felt like he had a personal relationship with every one of his customers, whether they were young or old, replacing a tire or wanting to enhance their bike in whatever way. Merritt had all the answers! He told me to come back in 45 minutes and so I thoroughly enjoyed walking down to Tate Street and visiting my old haunts like the Taylor theater and the music building. Upon my return, my bike was fixed and I was thrilled to have it back. I was so impressed with Merritt and his his shop that I had him also replace the tires on my other old fashioned bike. Now I'm riding around my neighborhood in cool White Walls! Who the hell do I think I am? Lol I happened to notice that Recycles also recycles old bikes ( hence, the name!) and donates them or sells them cheaply to those in need. With that in mind, I donated a really cool red bike that I had in my shed and hope Recycles finds a good home for it. Should make some kid happy! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the place to go whether you have an old bike or a new one. He is very knowledgeable and I marveled listening to him talk to each customer. While I waited my turn, there was a young boy with his mom, an avid racer, a new customer and people from all walks of life. Each one was made to feel special, as if they were family, And it was obvious several customers have a long-term relationship with Recycles. I was extremely impressed with the customer service and the service I received. With the weather getting warmer and Greensboro becoming a friendlier place for bicyclists, I cannot think of a better resource for us to have than Recycles. Conveniently located by UNCG and run by a knowledgeable and personable bicyclist, I would say this is definitely the place to go if you are needing advice, gear, equipment, whether your bike is new or old. In no time at all, Recycles will make you feel welcome. listened to and serviced in the best possible way. Got to go. It's time to ride around my neighborhood in my fancy new white walls! Don't be jealous. Go to Recycles and get your own!!

So stoked I found this place!! New to Greensboro from…read moreHawaii and was looking for a bike shop to repair and tune up my bike that was damaged in shipping. Merritt (owner) and James were so easy to work with. Quality service that made me feel like home. Merritt hooked my bike up the same day I brought it in and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Needless to say I'd recommend this shop to anyone that needs a knowledgeable bike staff that offers quality service. Mahalo

We've been buying bikes and bike accessories from Mock Orange since they were in Mocksville (hence…read morethe name) and are never disappointed about this. They really put the customer first, which is a necessary business model in the age of big box stores and e-commerce - but not all small businesses succeed as well as MOB does. Our most recent experience motivated me to write this review after years and years of being a customer. My wife and I had two bikes we wanted to donate to World Relief for Afghan refugees they are relocated to the Triad. We wanted to get them fixed up before donating them, so (of course waiting until the last minute) brought them to MOB on Saturday for a Monday donation date. Told Charles what we were doing and he said they were about a week out on repairs but that he could throw them up on the stand and if they didn't need much work his guy could do them while we waited. About 30 minutes later, we had two functional bikes to donate to some needy families. Not only that, but one of the bikes we had bought at MOB so the tune-uptune-up was free. For the other he halved the standard tune up price. What a wonderful business to have as part of our community.

They're more on the "pricey" side, however you get actual service for your bike- they check it, air the tires, have a service for it in about a year... things you just don't get elsewhere (like a big box store) that absolutely make it worth the value! Plus they have a trade in program. We will absolutely be back for our other kids when the time comes. Thanks again, Robert !

They supposedly were tuned up at the factory to be operational but we found the gears and brakes to be poorly adjusted and the front wheels on both bikes were out of round. Realizing why the instruction books that came with the bikes began every section with 'We highly recommend you have the bike professionally tuned' we did some research finding that Bullseye has a great reputation and reasonable fees. We first took the front wheels to have them adjusted to them and within a day they had them ready for us. Having seen how competent, conscientious, professional, and responsive they were we dropped both bikes off to have them tuned up one the weekend and we had them back working superbly by that Tuesday. They take what they do seriously and are highly customer-focused. Totally recommend them.
