Halter's didn't just sell me bikes--they helped me reclaim a part of myself. Their expertise, kindness, and care have made riding a true joy again. If you want a bike shop that really listens and supports you, Halter's is the place. Five stars all the way!" read more

I wanted to send a note regarding my recent experience with your service department. I brought my bicycle in for repair and was quoted approximately $220 plus tax to repair the shifter and chain, along with the recommendation that the handlebar tape be replaced. When I asked about the timing, I was told there were 12 bicycles ahead of mine and that it would take 10 days before the work could be completed. I was also informed that if I paid an additional $100, my bicycle could be moved up the service queue and completed sooner. This would have brought my total cost to roughly $350. Instead, I took my bicycle to a bike shop in Hamilton, where the repair was completed promptly for $50. I appreciate that this experience helped me explore other options and ultimately save approximately $300. Unfortunately, after being a customer since your days in South Brunswick, I have decided that I will no longer be shopping at your store or using your service department. I am sharing my experience so that others can make informed decisions when choosing where to have their bicycles serviced. read more

Don, Jason and Skip are the man! Recently helped troubleshoot my power pedals and were a dream to work with. Shops like this are why it's worth supporting local. They'll take care of you. read more

Don C was great!! Made an appointment for getting sized for a new road bike and i was in for real treat! Don really took the time and shared so much knowledge to help make the decision! Then help me make some adjustments to my current road bike to improve posture and my power output! Thank you so much to the Don and the team at Halter's Cycles! read more

Had a great experience buying a bike from Halter's. The staff is incredibly helpful and take the time to make sure you get the best bike for your needs. Even when the shop is busy they do a great job prioritizing all the customers. Jason spent a lot of time with me letting me try different bikes at various price points. He'll give you his opinions and if you're honest and upfront he works with you. Purchasing a bike from them comes with service and a free bike fit which is a great value. Don takes a ton of time making sure the bike fit is proper. Their phone/text system is great too, I received a text from them once a part for my pedals came in stock and got on the schedule that week to get it installed. In total, I've been to the shop 5 times since I purchased my bike (2 times to purchase a bike because I was so indecisive, 1 time for the bike fit, and 2 other times for additional gear/accessories). Each time they are helpful, accommodating, and appreciative. read more

This was by far the best bike shop I have ever been to! We were met by Skip, who was very knowledgeable and helpful with us! He showed us multiple bikes we were interested in, considering our price range and preferences. I found a bike I really enjoyed and Skip put on petals, air in the tires, and adjusted the seat for me before letting me take it for a ride to test it out. I had tons of questions that Skip was very helpful with, and it helped get a really good understanding of the things I was looking at. Overall, I highly recommend this Halter's cycles for anybody looking for an awesome place for bikes, parts, and maintenance! 10/10!! read more

I've purchased many new bikes since I started riding in 2008 and I know they come with some growing pains. My newest bike had an issue with the seat post.... long story short I took the bike back to Halter's and they were able to pin point the noise and replaced the post. If you're a seasoned vet you know the importance of a trusted & reliable bike shop. If you are new to the game.... a trusted & reliable bike shop is very important. Halter's is that shop read more

Halter's Cycles - Bikes Near Me - Skillman, New Jersey

Jason just built up a beautiful set of custom Zipp rims for my mountain bike and I could not be happier with the design, build and performance.

Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, Halter's is the place to go for all your biking needs. Ride on! read more

I am hoping to visit Halter's in the next week or so to look at mountain bikes as I am interested in buying one. From reading the reviews, it looks like I will have a very good experience. read more

I was a bike rider for many years but had to give it up due to bad hips. I received new hips over the winter and decided to go and buy a new bike as a present to myself. I knew Jason from the Anchor House rides where he worked as a mechanic for the ride so I went to Halters. I was met by Skip who couldn't have been nicer. He asked all the right questions about what kind of riding I wanted to do and the big question my price range. We saw a few bikes that met my criteria and started from there. We settled on a Pivot Vault with carbon fiber wheels. He checked on the price and I was nicely surprised when we found out it was on sale. We added some safety items and were all set. Went for the custom bike fitting and I was set to take my first ride. The bike is perfect!! Thanks to the entire Halters crew for getting me back on the road again. Halters is the best bike shop in the area by far. Foster V read more

No better shop PERIOD! I have been a happy customer for 25 years! Even though I am no longer local, I drive an hour to shop because it is WORTH IT!!! Road, Cross, or Mountain you cannot find a better shop! You absolutely MUST GET A FIT on your new bike! I thought I was comfortable on my bikes until I got a fit! Now I know. Jason and the crew are so competent it is unparalleled. Ride Six Mile Run, the local rides with them, and around Princeton area epic..... read more

Decided to upgrade the rims on my Felt gravel bike and Jason did a great job setting me up with a new set of Zipp 303s and the perfectly matched the tires, cassettes, etc. Very happy with the enhanced performance! Great selection and crew.... read more

So I left an honest review of a few negative dealing with this place. I am entitled as a disgruntled customer to voice my concearns and interactions on a web based public platform utilized for such review process. Since leaving it, I have gotten a call from a Shimano rep cause the shop owner scolded him for my negative interactions, I have gotten cyber bullied and harrassed by Halters "team members" on NJMTB forums and had my job threatened by one of his members who assumes my dealing with Jason had anything to do with my occupation. Even in Jason's reply to my original complaint, he addressed me by my job title twice in an attempt to pull at the heart strings of the public with the current hatred for police officers and swaying them by public perception not facts. In fact had he take a split second to take any form of credit for our negative interactions, I would not be posting this. However he prefers to utilize his energy to discredit and harrass me and passing off blame. Anyone planning on using this shop just be forewarned of you do not worship the ground he walks on and go against anything he has to say, you will fall victim to the "MOB" also. I'm not saying all of my dealings with him we're negative, just several that he didn't make right. Look at the pictures of the forum members harrassig me on a forum I don't even frequent. read more

The employees of this shop make each customer feel like their most important one! They are attentive and knowledgeable. They do not try to push unnecessary repairs and are reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this shop for bike repairs or purchases! They have a wide range of products available and make every effort to make sure each customer gets the most appropriate product for their needs. read more

See all

Very knowledgeable and helpful. A staff member spent at least 30-45 minutes telling me about various options, setting up a bike for me to try, and making recommendations. read more

Went within an hour of closing to get cycling shoes for my wife, who just bought a bike from a private seller. Instead of needing to come back another day, we were helped by Jason, who matched her with an excellent pair after trying several on without any rush. He also took the time to put the bike on a stand, mount matching pedals, and show her how to ride with them properly. He even adjusted her seat and gave her tips on posture, all in a relaxed experience that left no question unanswered. I can't recommend this shop or its staff highly enough. They deliver the personal experience you need where the right match makes all the difference in enjoying the sport. read more

Beast of the East!! i love this shop, the last of a dying breed..The owner is Rad with a knowledgeable and helpful staff!! Great shirts too! Highly recommend for all your cycling needs! Thx read more

Great customer service. Very polite and professional and helpful. Due to Covid and low inventory I didn't buy the Cannondale bike. However my friend purchased the bike from them and has very satisfied. read more

There are good bike shops, and there are great bike shops. These folks, they are the best. It bothers me to see people giving them 1 star because they had to wait for service. Guys, be careful with those bad reviews for your own impatience. In real life, good help takes a minute. We won't have the luxury of these knowledgeable folks and specialty shops if we keep disgracing them because of our own issues- be patient! It's a gift to still have a cool bike shop like this! read more

I've been to a fair few bicycle shops in probably more countries than most people this here country have been to in states. My own sister and bil owned one of the best bicycle shops in SW England, so I have a good idea what a good bicycle shop is. This is a great one. Halter's Cycles is one of the best bicycle shops on any planet. Everyone who works there is passionate about cycling no matter what level or discipline and for the most part they're just delighted to see people on bikes, whether it's to cruise around your retirement community, compete in the state championships, or ride across America. Stock levels are consistently high, and if you can't get the latest gizmo, it's either because it isn't out yet, or they've sold their allocation. But don't worry, they'll get it for you pdq. Jason takes a great pride in selling customers just the right bike in the right size and adjusted expertly for you. In the case of a road bike this can take a good couple of hours, but is at no extra cost on a new bike and only requires your investment of time. But if all you want is an inner tube and a chat everyone there's happy for that too. Lastly, the guys and gals in Halter's workshop between them are experienced in any sort of bike from your Italian hand-crafted jewel to vintage English racers. In fact, between them they own pretty much any type of bike going and have been known to cannibalize their own bike to get customers back on the road or trail. So yes. I'm smitten. read more

Love this place. A full service Local Bike Shop. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled. Extensive inventory of bikes and accessories. If they don't have something, they can get it and install it. Set ups, repairs, upgrades and bike fits. read more

If you are looking for a LBS that is honest; provides awesome service on great product lines then you have found the right place. The crew at Halter's know their stuff from road, to MTB to TT these guys have their bases covered. Honesty + Service + Price = Halter's read more

Halters is the best bike shop I have ever been to (and I like to go to bike shops). Why? 1. They have so much inventory it is impossible to leave without buying some cool gadget or article of clothing. I am like a kid in a candy shop there. 2. The guys in the shop ride and race all types of bikes that they sell; road, MTB, cross, fixie, at all levels. You will regularly run into the guys on PFW rides. 3. Jason is the master of fit. You have to have and respect your fit appointment, and Jason will spend as long as it takes to get the fit right without forcing you into a bike doesn't fit you. 4. Jason makes sure that my bikes are always safe and in good shape. The service is phenomenal, whether it is one of the bikes that I purchased at the shop or my 15 dollar garage sale bike. I have sent many friends and colleagues the shop ( both experienced cyclists and beginners) and they all have been very satisfied. read more

Great service, great selection of bikes and accessories. Bought a Giant bike for my daughter and the bike and the experience were perfect. We used to go to Planet Bike, but this is our new store. They clearly do a lot more business, have an amazing inventory of everything and lots of people to help you. When my son needs a new bike, we'll gladly come here for it! read more

I've purchased several bikes from Halters, carbon road, hybrid & electric. Jason and his staff are always helpful, knowledgeable & honest. No one knows more about cycling than Jason. By far best shop in central Jersey. read more

Best bike shop in the area and the only one that specializes in 29ers. Never bought a bike here, but they have a great selection of brands and lots of eye candy to gawk at. Saw a single speed rigid steel Bontrager mountain bike hanging up. Even had two fat bikes in store. Cool. It will be quite a few years, but next time I'm in the market for a new bike I'll be coming here. Awesome selection of parts and accessories. Pretty good selection of road and 29er tires and a bin of used/demo mountain tires for cheap. I can get behind that. Had a few different compounds of road bike pads in stock and brand name disc pads, when a few other local shops only had unknown generic brands. The staff is also very helpful. I needed a new derailleur hanger for my bike and a few other shops told me tough luck, they couldn't even order it for me. Talked to one of the guys at the counter who asked in back and I was given a hanger I believe one of the mechanics was about to put on his personal bike. That, my friend, is good service. read more

Awesome LBS. Jason and his team at Halter's Cycles came through for me again. I noticed that my fork had started leaking oil and brought it in for service. I asked if they would have it ready for the weekend, as I only have 1 bike. I dropped it off on Wednesday morning, and they had it ready to go by Wednesday afternoon! Also, while I was there, I asked about a new helmet. The guy assisting me was really knowledgeable and helped me find a great new helmet at a good price. Jason and his staff are all bike fanatics - they ride, they race, they maintain local trails. Mountain, Road, Cyclocross. They do it all, and they make product recommendations based on actual use. That kind of knowledge and expertise is why I keep going back to Halter's. read more

Let me start this review with a bit of bias towards Jay and the Halter's crew. They are not only friends of mine but are also arguably one of the best shops in the business. I have dealt with Jay and the Halter's crew for many years and there is reason for that. They really take time to work with their customers and get them in the right bike for their needs.... I just left a fitting session with Don and I couldn't be happier to the attention to detail and time he spent refitting and tweaking my bike fit and position. I purchased my road bike from Jason about 5 years ago or so and had an initial fitting done when I purchased the bike. At that time my fitness and overall flexibility was more suited for mountain biking as that was the discipline I was concentrating mostly on for many years. So over the next few years I have been spending quite a bit more time on my road bike and had done some minor tweaks here and there but never did a full refitting. I spend the afternoon with Don today and all I can say is Perfecto..... He took the time to analyze my pedaling style and positioning before starting anything and within 5mins he already knew where he needed to concentrate to make me more efficient as well as more comfortable. I was very happy with the initial fit and minor tweaks that I had done up till now and did't think I needed much work but Don saw things that would improve my riding right away. That is the biggest benefit of an experienced fitters eye over a computer in my opinion. He took time to explain exactly what each change he was doing and why he was doing it, not just doing things just to do them and adding it to the bill. I highly recommend not only purchasing any bikes you would ever need from the crew here, as the selection of both mountain and road bikes is phenomenal, but if you are an avid road cyclist setting up an appointment with Don or Jay for a professional fitting that will make you one with your bike that comes from years of experience that no computer program can match. read more

My girlfriend and I were in search of a bike rack for the back of our SUVs. We tried a few sporting goods shops and even Walmart...no one cared and no one had what we wanted. We found Halter's Cycles, called up to make sure they had what we wanted in stock and drove over. Upon walking in, we noticed their extensive inventory and very friendly staff. We told the gentleman what we were looking for and he asked us what kind of vehicles we drove. He then recommended 2 models and thoroughly explained the differences between the 2. We chose one, paid for it and he walked with us to my girlfriend's car and installed it for us, showing all the details that we needed to know. I highly recommend Halter's Cycles for their friendly service, realistic prices and overall wonderful experience. read more

I came from NYC to test and then buy a bike. They were awesome. I frequently find myself pressured to buy something expensive when I am at a bike shop, but these guys never pressured me at all. They switched out some parts I didn't like, answered all of my questions, and were generally great. I wish I lived close enough to the shop to be a regular. Next time I'm buying a bike, I'll come here. read more

Unless you are serious about the sport and know exactly what you want, I wouldn't recommend Halter's. We are beginners and needed some direction and information about the different bikes, and didn't really find that here. read more

This bike store is so cool inside with a huge selection! I'm not a big rider, however I want to get back into it. So i brought my old mountain bike that was stored away in the garage dust & all. They gave me a great price on the repair & assured me that it will do the job until I'm ready to purchase a new one. I loved seeing the owners there with there little girl behind the counter. It makes supporting local a must! When my children are ready for bikes I'll definitely be supporting this gem! Thanks so much J & crew! read more

After spending many many hours researching bikes and trying to educate myself on what would suit my needs I realized that I should just go talk to the professionals. I went to Halter's cycles and was amazed by the selection of cycles. I am 50 years old amp realizing that I needed et back into exercising. I had an old department store bike that wasn't suiting my needs. After briefly explaining this to Jason he instantly had a bike for me. Not only did he set me up with an awesome ride I get educated in the processes. I should have gone to Halters Cycles sooner! Thank you so much Jason. I am loving life! Ted read more

Jay and the Halters crew set up my road bike perfectly. All squeaks, clicks and pops are gone. Shifting is exactly how it was when I bought it from Halters several years ago. Best shop...hands down. Thanks !! Support your local bike shops and experience much more satisfaction in bike fit and function. read more

We brought our 4 year old in for her first real bicycle today! Jason and his team took the time to try out several types and styles of bikes, while fitting them to her size each time. They took great care in adjusting both her bicycle and her new helmet. They were wonderful! I would highly recommend this store! read more

I have a nice racing bike that I was afraid to take apart to change the rear (flat) tire. I took it to Halter's; they charged $8 for the tube and around $12 for the labor--and fixed it right then and there. What would have taken me a day and untold aggravation took them ten minutes, and the kid who fixed my bike couldn't have been any nicer. It was good to see that a simple repair didn't cost a million bucks. Thanks! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Jason and the crew at Halter's. Between the initial visit, choosing a bike and the fitting process, they spent close to 5 hours with me. Through it all, they shared their expert knowledge, answered all the questions I had and directed me to a bike they felt best met my needs and budget. I am happy to say, I purchased a Cannondale road bike that has exceeded my expectations. I would also highly recommend taking advantage of the bike fitting process. Don did a fantastic job making adjusting to the bike to optimizing my ride. He has a vast knowledge of the fitting process and is passionate about making the adjustments need to have a more successful ride. I never knew what I missing out on after riding so many miles on a road bike that did not properly fit me (or one might say fit by body at all). This is my second bike (first a mountain bike) purchased from Halter's. Although I started looking at shops closer to home (45 min ride to Halters), their combination of customer service, knowledge and pricing are unbeatable (thanks J) are what brought me back yet again. I would highly recommend this shop to anybody who is looking for a quality bike, a wide selection to choose from and expert guidance to ensure you are making the right choice. Thank You J, Don and Cody read more

Met with Don to fit a bike. He was great, however he doesn't actually work for the shop, he's contracted. Met Jason, the owner who turned out to be a huge JO. Definitely do not recommend after that. Left with cash in hand to spend elsewhere. read more

Haters is what you want from a local bike shop. Great people, great service, great bikes. Have purchased 7 bikes over the years from Jason and the Halter's team. I have also sent many friends there to buy their bikes. Everyone's experience has always been great. OK, have I used the word great too many times? read more

I have bought my last two road bikes from Jason at Halter's would not hesitate to go there for my next bike. Jay was friendly on the phone and able to schedule me for a fitting within a week of my calling the shop. Once I was there there was no pressure to buy a certain brand of bike or to try and upsell me something I didn't need. For each bike I spent probably 2 or 3 hours there getting the bike perfectly fit to my body type and posture. The bikes were both priced very well, as is most of the merchandise in the store. The selection of bikes was also good, though I think the store is busy enough that they sell most of what they stock each season. Overall I am very satisfied with both bikes and the entire buying experience. Worth the trip from Philadelphia (twice!) read more
