This is such a cool concept! From the shopping experience to being able to relax afterwards (or before, whichever you prefer) with a nice snack, cup of coffee , smoothie , or better yet a local beer! This place fulfills an ideal location for the bike enthusiasts! I ordered the The Tropics - Light and bright smoothie with mango & pineapple being the key ingredients for a good start to the day Ham & Cheese croissant- The ham & cheese being entirely inside the pastry made for an extraordinary effect as you bit into the fluffy and perfectly salted bread. read more

This is a review for the 2D bike-fitting service done by Clovis Anderson, top-ten veteran of the 1988 Seoul Olympics Brazilian cycling team and certified sports medicine specialist. I recently brought in my daughter's road bike to see if it could be adapted to me, 68 yrs old, trying to get back in the game so I could ride with my husband, who just retired and has been doing 20-40-mile distance rides on his own for years. Clovis has every piece of equipment to measure and explain the proper fit for every aspect of bike efficiency/rider comfort and was able to show me that even with stem risers and other adjustments my daughter's bike would never work for me. He then showed us a half-price electric-assist bike, which turned out to be what I needed to keep up with my husband. He then offered a female-friendly saddle, and an ergonomic handle bar and grips suited to my scoliosis and arthritic hands. In short, he took all of my "special needs" into consideration and gave me just the special fit I needed. I can't say enough about about the care, personal attention and specialized technical knowledge that Clovis brought to my fitting that has resulted in a bike that makes it a true pleasure for me to ride, after ten years, with my husband. Thank you Clovis! read more

Love their coffee, prob my fav coffee spot in Herndon. I know it's a cycling shop but I just go for the coffee and vibes. Everyone is always really nice and service is quick. Dog friendly so it's a nice spot to sit with your dog, then go on a walk on the trail nearby. read more

I visited Green Lizard Cycling one Sunday to come in and try and find some cycling shoes that fit my ridiculously wide feet and that work with a Peloton bike. Several of my friends had recommended, nay, raved about Green Lizard Cycling. I called ahead - they advised they do carry such shoes - and that I should come in and get measured and try some shoes on. I asked if staff would all be wearing facemasks - I was advised that yes they would be. When I arrived - I walked in and found the appropriate staff to work with. The gentleman I worked with measured my feet, and had me try on a couple of existing shoes. Ultimately, they did not have my size, but have ordered a pair in my size for me to try on. Unfortunately, the shoes will not arrive until some time in October. I was disappointed to find that - a number of the staff was not wearing facemasks (I was). The person who helped me started off with a mask on, but was not wearing it during the measuring my feet part of the visit - and a couple of the other guys working in the back - also were not wearing facemasks - which made me a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully the ordered shoes will fit and will arrive in the October time frame! #GreenLizardCycling read more

Great help getting 2 bikes ready for a 140.6 triathlon - Sam was helpful and a problem solver. Liked the ready availability of Garmin cleats, Lazer helmets. Plus he could adjust seat levels, put on new tires, attach tool pouches, repack front and rear wheel hub bearings. Labor charges were extremely reasonable and part prices not jacked up ($69 helmet, $3.50 CO2 cartridges, $25 for Garmin cleats). Borrowing 2 VA bikes from my brother. Also liked the tea and coffee options. Got a London Fog after discussing options with Erin. Also got some nice muffins. Thankfully, bike service was done with a smile as we waited. Sorry to say borrowed bikes can be tricky. Sam is good at spotting issues and fixing what might matter. read more

If you are shopping for a high end bike, make Green Lizard your first and likely your last store to visit. The best first step is to have Clovis find the right fit for your new bike based on how you sit on your existing bike. He was able to show me, based on videos he takes, how I would fit and feel on various types of bike frames including an endurance and climbing style of bike. Once you pick out the bike, it is built for your specifications by their professional and experienced service department. You will find more brands and styles of high end bikes at the Green Lizard than any other bike shop in the area. Green Lizard is the heart of the local and cycling community. In addition the owners, Dave and Beth, give back to those in need through their charitable non profit. read more

I'd been on a plane all day. I hadn't had any breakfast. Or any lunch for that matter. I was hungry and a little sore and in need of some liquid enthusiasm. The coffee was delicious. It was really very good. But it was sooo little. I felt like I was in a Vietnamese place with tiny, Vietnamese style portions. I could have drunk my large iced coffee in two long draws. I tried to take it slow and linger on the flavor but I couldn't help wishing they offered a larger size. read more

Conveinent coffee/beer/bike shop right off the WO&D trail! The taps are rotating and pull from local spots. Really nice place to stop as a break from riding. I had their light roast black coffee (~$2.50)and it was delightful. The has indoor and outdoor seating and a service center in the back in case something happens on the trail. They also serve pretty good cold brew and tea and a good spot. Very chill environment, I would definitely recommend for a nice break from biking. read more

I really want to like this place. Best hours of the bike shops around. However, I took my bikes in for tuneups and when I got it back I complained that the braking was spongy. They said all their disc brakes are like this. I went home, figured out online what I needed, bought new pads and a hydraulic fluid bleed kit. Inspecting the pads showed wear to the metal. I found air bubbles in the fluid causing the sponginess. I had to fix this all myself because they were gaslighting me into thinking it was all in my head. Sorry, this is terrible service. read more

I have been to a bunch of local bike shops in the area, and this is hands down the best local bike shop in Nova! They are very professional, knowledgeable, and always greet me with a smile :) I just had my professional bike fit with Clovis. He is amazing as are the rest of the service/repair team. Ive been riding a lot since April and had continued foot pain, he made some adjustments and I just did my personal best of 75 miles with no pain! Thanks for the wonderful customer service, you have earned my trust and business for all of my families biking needs. read more

Always love to support local-especially a bike shop that has a good thing going in the community. I want to give these guys 5 stars, because certain aspects of their service are awesome. However, I was looking to do a major groupset upgrade to one of our bikes, which they were very fast to respond to with a quote. I emailed back and forth numerous times with a mechanic at the shop, then heard nothing back. Followed up with a few emails, a separate email to the owner, and a call, but got radio silence back. I'm not sure if they weren't interested in my business or what, but it was disappointing. I took business elsewhere, which is a shame because I live minutes from there. read more

I came here by recommendation of a friend. I've been on the hunt for a go-to local coffee shop since I moved to Herndon this spring and I think I've found it! I ordered a large cappuccino and it was perfect. I can't wait to bring my husband to try the Italian sodas and beer. read more

Best bike shop experience. I'm high risk for COVID and have gotten into cycling during all my time home in 2020. I wanted to buy a road bike-- it's become my outlet, but I wasn't sure how I'd shop since I'm high risk. Dave and the team went above and beyond to make it safe and possible for me to go bike shopping. They allowed me to come after hours (several times) and would bring bikes I considered purchasing outside to take for a spin. Clovis even did my bike fit outside on a trainer so I could be sure I was buying a bike that fit me perfectly. I cannot say enough about Green Lizard Cycling. I wanted to support a local bike shop and turns out they were the ones that supported me. More than worth my 40-minute drive to get there. Great bikes, fantastic service, and even better people. Oh, and I LOVE my bike. read more

Green Lizard is what all local bike stores should feel like - - unpretentious and welcoming. I had an amazing experience buying my new 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105. The whole team, including Bernard, Clovis and Dave, is first class. I highly recommend Green Lizard for anyone looking to buy or service a bike. I was so impressed by Clovis's fitting that my wife is going to take her bike to get fitted as well. On a side note, the coffee was amazing, this is the icing on the cake when bike shopping! read more

I think it is my ethical duty to point out when I believe a business is not behaving in the public interest, and in my informed opinion, Green Lizard is not doing that at the moment. While they have a sign on their door indicating that they are adhering to Northam's weak/unenforced "10 person maximum" for the inside of the building, they have been allowing congregations of people outside, all of whom are within two to three feet of each other for prolonged periods of time. Even if the owners don't believe the Covid-19 pandemic is serious, the bad optics on this are breathtaking. I believe you are a bad public citizen right now, and your right to have customers drink mochas in front of your store does not outweigh your public obligations at this dire moment. Since I can attach photos here, I just want the general public to see how irresponsibly this company is conducting itself right now in the middle of a global pandemic in which a large fraction of Americans are on lockdown and where scientists and public health experts are urging six feet of space. This picture says everything about why Northam needs a lockdown. I won't be back to Green Lizard. read more

Located in downtown Herndon. The area is nice, great service, helpful staff and the ambiance is great.

I have Yelped these good folks before and will again after another good interaction - this is really a great bike shop. They sell a lot of high end bikes but really just want to get people rolling and having fun. So you don't get the elitism you can at some shops. The cafe is a fun scene, good food, and plenty of riders in and out, especially on weekends. There is also a bodega a few doors up with great pastries. The guy who fits bikes, Clovis, is really good and will get your bike exactly dialed in. And the techs are great, helpful, explain stuff, and they stand behind their work. Really good selection of accessories and upkeep items. Fantastic local bike shop. read more

We rented bikes here to do a bike ride on W&OD trail. First of all they are just super nice and welcoming there. Maybe it's standard but I was super impressed that they assisted my friends to be fitted on the bike properly and even directed us to some cool sites on our bike ride. I well def rent bikes from them again. read more

If you're going to charge an arm and a leg for a simple repair, let your customer know IN ADVANCE. So wrong to take advantage of a woman by herself, never riding a motorized bike before. They don't tell you cost in advance. $45 later for a repair that could have been done easily if I had the parts. Also, don't buy into," they're doing the best they can during Covid". It's not an excuse to take advantage of people, and you guys know it was wrong. Even car repairs they give the price before doing the work. Terrible business practice. read more

Came here off the W&OD trail to get a snack. The cookies and whoopie-pies are AMAZING. Totally unassuming because it's a coffee shop inside a bike shop but wow the snacks they had made were incredible. I would come back here just for the cookies and pies. read more

I would not recommend this store, very poor customer service and work! We brought in our bob stroller tire to get a new inner tube and within one day of not even using it it blew both the inner and outer tires. I took it back asking for a refund on the work and they refused saying they could not guarantee it was their problem. It is confusing and disappointing and now we are out the cost of the initial repair and the cost to fix both, and 30 minutes of gas money. We will never return. read more

I have a soft spot in my heart for bicycle shops. In my younger years Ive made a pest of myself at many a bike shop, talking bikes and tech, looking at the latest gadgets. Well years later, Ive "matured", and keep my enthusiasm under control. But alas, this place brings out that giddy enthusiasm again. I would say that its a bike shops modeled after "Cheers". There are regulars galore, and with a combination of coffee, beer, and bikes its got something for everyone. Dont get me wrong, this place is a serious bike shop. The staff is very knowledgeable, and has steered me right on many an occasion (pun intended). read more

Walked in for a new part on my bike. They're competent but quick to upsell expensive services. $2-300 for a fitting is a lot for a small shop and the expected time of 2-3 hours for the fitting is insane. They all don't wear masks, the guy advising me on my bike was weird with continuously winking at me and made me uncomfortable. read more

I go to a couple of bike shops in this area, depending on how close I happen to be / what direction I'm going and whether it's a service visit or just coming off the trail for a refreshing pause and to browse the store. Both are excellent and deserve their customer base. Nonetheless, Green Lizard stands out in my mind because of their outstanding customer service and willingness to help fellow cyclists in a pinch. Once I stopped by there with a quick question, and they adjusted a component on the spot and got me back on the trail immediately. I bought a couple of items in passing, but they didn't even charge for the quick adjustment. Recently, I had a similar case in which they adjusted a safety concern literally while I enjoyed a green tea in their cafe', and again they did so entirely as a courtesy. Other service visits and tune-ups have been very reasonably priced and expeditiously done. They are no nonsense but kind and professional, and I am a very average customer, not the one who typically buys their more high-end gear. So I can only assume and observe that this must be how they treat all their customers, out of love for the sport and a calling to run the best shop with the best customer service they can offer. It's just the way they do business. They do have an amazing selection of equipment, from the basics to very specialized, and the cafe' or curbside is a welcome place to rest for a bit. Highly recommend Green Lizard. read more

I recently purchased a Scott road bike from the Green Lizard and I couldn't be happier. I almost purchased the bike online but instead decided to give my business to a local shop. As soon as I walked through the door I was treated like a king. Dak was very professional and knowledgeable. The bike I wanted was in stock and he advised me on what I needed to complete the ride. Fortunately, I was able to take delivery just two hours after the sale. While I was getting fitted, another employee saw that the stem tube needed to be shortened. It was immediately replaced even though the mechanics were very busy. The whole experience from beginning to end was very pleasant. I recommend that if you are in the market for a new bicycle, give the Green Lizard a look. I could not be happier. read more

Unexpected little spot for coffee. Met a friend here for coffee and had no idea it was a bike shop. Hipster vibe with limited menu for food options - but a wide range of delicious coffees and teas. Excellent coffee! read more

As a bicycle shop they seem pretty good. Don't know anything about the coffee. I went there to get a bike rehabbed. End up buying a new one because the old one was needing so much stuff done it was an almost even exchange. I don't think they were trying to up-sell me, either. Honestly, the old bike was a Wal-Mart special, probably almost a decade old and had spent most of its life outside. The cables and components were rusted, the sprockets seemingly chipped, and it was generally a mess. The guy assisting me gave me known costs for repairs, then costs for things that might be add-on after the initial repairs were done (uncover the next layer of the onion, so to speak). I was the one who asked if the estimate was getting close to the price of a modest new bike, and he confirmed it was. Since we now have some space to store the bikes indoors, I went ahead and just bought a new bike. Service was good, gave me lots of information to make an informed decision, and I will be back in the future for accessories. read more

Review is more from a viewpoint of the only place that is available that sells gourmet coffee as well as beer beyond 6 pm and is casual. This was great because I wanted to meet a friend for the evening and he was doing dry January and I still felt like I want to drink! The latte they have was pretty decent and the beer selection was fine as well! read more

I do not recommend this shop to any new riders customers. They are for high end riders. They do not do well for regular bike riders. They upsell you on bikes out do not need, and overcharge on all products. I am very disatisfied customer who used to trust their services. I was up sold on bike I didn't need and ended being defect on electronic gears. Service messed up my tuneups on occasion. Owner did not give me refund on defect bike. And not treated well by owner as a customer. I left and went to another reliable shop at spokes. Spokes is trustworthy shop. Not lizard. read more

Review for the cycling part of the shop only: I brought in bikes to do a simple seat swap because I was struggling to get the seat off myself. The repair guy, who was not wearing his face mask over his mouth, acted put off that I asked him to do it when I told him I was having trouble unscrewing it, as if I was wasting his time. He loosened it and then started walking away but when I asked him to go ahead and swap the seats he told me then he was going to charge me $10. I told him to proceed. After helping another customer he did the swap which took him all of 3 minutes and he indeed charged me for it! I also was having trouble with the chain hitting the derailleur but decided against asking for help with anything else there. I would rather go somewhere else for bike repair. I really didn't appreciate the icy reception. read more

Brought my road bike in for a fit with Clovis Anderson and it was the best. I spent several hours with him as he reviewed my riding goals, my physiology, biomechanics on and off the bike, and the made his diagnosis one step at a time. He got me dialed in so I should feel like part of the bike instead of someone balanced on it. He was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and willing to share that knowledge with me. It was a great, if not expensive, experience. But that is to be expected if you want to get your fit dialed in as best as you can. The rest of the staff we efficient, friendly, and more than willing to help me out. They got my bike finished up after I worked with Clovis, and even brought me a blueberry smoothie during! Nice. The store is bright, warm in a comfortable like home sort of way and they offer coffee and beer with seating if you want to just stop in during a ride. Plenty of people came in just to hang out and catch up with each other and the staff. My only issue is that its not closer to me... but that makes the trip worth it. PS- plenty of street parking around the store, and the WO&D goes right by for ease ride access. Win. read more
