Celebrating forty years operating, Laughing Dog Bicycles carries this long history in their repair…read moreshop and sales floor. Downstairs and upstairs is a quiet drop-in space for bike sales, bike accessories, bike publications, bike supplies, and bike repairs. I brought two bicycles here for repair, one that as more of a child's toy instead of a bicycle industry piece, and another. Both needed some minor repair and upkeep, which Laughing Dog did for an affordable price for each bike, and included a safety inspection. Walking into their bicycle shop was half the treat, as they were done with the repairs within only a day. Settled in the back lot alley, with parking and two one-way driveways for in and out, Laughing Dog uses their space with a savvy of years. This is something they provide that a place which only "sells" or repairs bicycles probably can't offer you, and which I believe is common to the bicycle workshops of western MA. I had the impression that I could ask about local bicycling trails, bicycling races, bicycling events, bicycling tournaments, bicycling tracks, bicycling stars, bicycling history, and on and on, and get whatever insight I needed. Their sales floor wasn't jam-packed, and was navigable with the large variety of bikes on their sales floor as well. Bicycles ranged from entry level bicycles to professional, tourney, and off-road bicycles. However, their floor had such a variety, it makes me imagine the variety of customers they've helped over the decades. The variety of bells they have on a handlebar by the register add a cute little touch of bicycling history and options for noisy alarms. I found this place as such a treat to visit, I might as well consider it more than where bike experts meet, I would want to visit it for bicycle history and expertise in the local area.

Bob and his staff couldn't have been more helpful. They have a variety of different high quality bikes, helmets, locks, and even a bike bag so we didn't need our backpack. They are located right on the bike trail, which is super convenient. We rode from Northampton to Amherst for lunch and made a few stops along the way. The trails are great by the way. It was a 90 degree day, so having pedal assist was not only fun, but a much needed break. This means riders of all skill/fitness levels can enjoy the trails. If you're in the market for an electric bike or simply want to try one, you have to try Quadrini Electric Bicycles.

I tried a used foldable bike and it was ok, maybe, but reminding me of how uncomfortable biking has been for me, not liking a ten speed riding position, balancing, seat height, handle bars awkward to reach, all the things that make me prefer walking! It had 6 speeds but no way to switch the gears. So wanting to follow their enthusiasm and tweak the seat height and the handlebar position we chatted awhile about all kinds of fun things with music, and riding as new gear switches and cables and magic transformed this potential bike into a sweet ride. It felt like a different bike- smooth, easy, I actually said out loud, "I Love it, sold." I love that they're nearby and if the bike needs any adjusting I can bring it to them. They were so fun and kind. I will be back to visit just to say 'ello. Thank you my new friends!

When it comes to bike shops, you can't get any better than Chandler Bikes. The following is a…read morereview for the current incarnation of Barney's on Chandler St. (known now as "Barney's Chandler Bike"), which deals primarily with used bicycles and is different than their main store on Park Ave. The first time I visited Chandler, I was thoroughly impressed with their selection of used bicycles and the professionalism of the workers. I had walked in about 10 minutes before closing and the guy up front (John, the store manager and head mechanic) gave me all the attention and professional courtesy that is sorely missing in many businesses these days. Even with the time crunch (he had to make an doctor's appointment right after), he helped me pick out a used crankset for my wife's commuter bike and I left the store 15 minutes later without feeling like I was rushed or given sub-par effort. Now that's what I call service. In my subsequent visits to the store, I got a better feel for how the business is run and what can be expected from them. When it comes to repairs, John is as upfront and honest of a mechanic as you can hope for. There is a fear in many customers from hearing horror stories of mechanics taking advantage of their ignorance and milking out as much cash as they can get away with. Having a good deal of experience with bicycle maintenance myself, I can definitely say that you get what you paid for, whether it be bikes, parts or service. You won't get $100 goods for $10, but you won't get $10 goods for $100, either. Comparatively, the parts and labor costs are very reasonable. I've paid more for less at other shops. There is also a great selection of new and used parts that customers can browse. Rims, bike seats, shoes, racks, brakes, gears, you name it. If you have the right tools and know how, you can buy the parts and install them yourself. Not a bad place to start looking for certain items where the line between new & used grows thin after a short while. Like with any kind of maintenance, I'd rather there be none to be done. But when the need arises, I'll definitely be doing it here at Chandler Bikes.

Imagine you're putting on a fair, and while attendees from all over the world and campuses attend,…read morethe stars are local gifts given a new life to be sold or resold here, at the Fisher Home Hospice Shop. That is the Fisher Home Hospice Shop: a marvelous showroom of timeless artifacts, clothes, books, games, and necessities that you might overlook or fail to live without. Let me give you a nice laundry list of my purchase of a tidy litany of needs, all for under a hundred dollars: Relevant literature/books for me, my new favorite clutch purse bag, snow gloves, two phone holders for vehicles, fine clothing for me and my family, household staples like notepads or three ring binder punches, and for sure my list could go on. Let's stop saying that the money you pay for these is too much or too little and instead look to what your purchase does: it funds the Fisher Hospice Home. This isn't your typical 'store,' and would be more fair to call it a non-profit venture. Volunteers maintain the store floor, swap out goods seasonally, review donations, and they all work as volunteers, for gratuity alone. The love they spend on what visitors might like is obvious, from their childrens' toy section, to their miniature library, to the household goods section. The space is maintained, full of light, and is accessible. What might challenge you is that what you find here is going to be more personal to you, instead of some wide class you happen to be a part of. That is what happens when you merchandise in timeless necessities--you would just as likely find a selfie stick here as you might find typewriter paper. What you leave with is actually liberating: there's no tracker of your behavior as a consumer, there's no brand loyalty that you're analyzed for, you're just a local shopper. Perhaps that's why the Fisher Home Hospice Shop feels like any internationally savvy visitor would visit, because what strikes you might be as surprising as any other bargain reseller, like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Here, it's local, it's for a cause, and it's open to the public. A former friend recommended I visit the Fisher Home Hospice Shop, and I now regret I thought their advice meant I would only visit once! :)
