If you just need a bit and can't go elsewhere they're OK, but this should not be your local bike shop.

I'd caution anyone against buying a bike here…read more I went in fully intending to leave with a mountain bike. I had narrowed it down to two models, and the sales associate (Eric) was great. He helped me find the exact bikes for my needs and offered to build my top choice so I could test it out (it was a difference size than what they had on the floor). Everything was great until the owner, Charles, came over. He totally tanked the sale. He forbid his employee from taking the bike out of the box and told me I had to drop $1,000 to buy it before I could even sit on it. Unbelievable way to do business. Charles didn't just lose a sale, he lost a local customer who was planning to bring three bikes (including an e-bike) there for service. After meeting the owner I wouldn't trust them not to rip me off. We went to Landry's instead and had a much better experience. Avoid Casa/Amped.

During my last visit I wanted to get an older road bike that I'd been using on an indoor trainer road-ready. I had bought it used so I had no idea what shape it was in. Hoyt was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and did not try to upsell anything that was not necessary. Hoyt made my dream come true of adding bigger tires even though we weren't sure it was going to work - so that I can feel safe and stable while riding. Thank you all for your hard work. Your love of bikes and biking as well as community really shows!

When you walk into Quad Cycles you're not walking in to a bike studio. You're walking into one of,…read more"those," shops. As you enter you see the old black and white photos of the heyday of bicycle racing; raised arms at the finish line and cheering crowds. You see old, well-worn wool jerseys hung in on the walls and vintage Bianchi, Pinarello, and DeBernardi bicycles hanging from the ceiling as if to remind you of what kind of shop it really is. This is the shop of yesteryear where you hear the faint smell of oil and hear the local riders discussing their training routes or relaxing after a ride. Then you meet the humble owner who looks at you with that glint in his eye, the one that ensures you that he's going to take care of you. Rustem will look at you but he will not talk at first, but then he will clear his throat and tell you exactly what he thinks. He's akin to an auto mechanic that won't charge you extra for the little things. The noises of the mechanics and the spinning of bike wheels waft throughout the shop as you're guided along to what you need. Never too much and never too little. A careful and occasional glance from the owner as you follow the staff through the rows of bottles, gloves, riding kits, and helmets ensures you that he's trained them well; look them in the eye, they can always come back with questions, and they'll make whatever work for you. I moved to the town of Arlington in 2011 in a small apartment across the shop. Every Sunday I used to see the bright colors of green and blue kits roll out for a group ride and then return in the afternoon with smiles on their faces. So I walked in once, the bell rang at the door, and the owner, Rustem, came to the front of the shop having set aside a wheel he was truing. "You look like you're new here. How can we help?" It's been a humbling and pleasurable experience ever since. And my cup truly runs over. Lastly and in our current times with COVID-19, Rustem and his staff are taking things very seriously. They've implemented a one-customer-at-a-time policy and customers are lined up within 6 feet of one another. A staff member will greet you at the front door, take your payment, bring you your repaired bike, and do a credit card transaction with the utmost consideration of being sterile. Walk into this wonderful world of the way cycling used to be and the way it I now. You will not be disappointed.

They tried to upsell/add things to my purchase that I hadn't asked for. Were aggressive when I tried to say no thank you. Good place, bike technicians are great, I would just arrive with someone who knows bikes and who looks the part, because otherwise you might either end up in an uncomfortable situation and/or paying more than you'd anticipated.

I came here with my husband looking for a bicycle for my birthday present. He's very into bikes and…read morehe did a lot of research before headed to City Cycle. As for me, my only condition was to have a pretty teal/mint green bike. Junelle was very friendly and helpful, she explained the features of the bikes and recommended the ones she thought was suitable for me. I ended up choosing a Specialized bike which we went back to collect 1-2 days later as they needed time to assemble and tune up the bike. (You have to pay at least half the price of the bike as a deposit if you choose to come pick it up later) She also threw in a bike kickstand as a birthday gift (it was also her birthday that day!!) which was really nice of her! There are also a lot of other accessories available at City cycles such as lights, helmets, water bottle holder etc. On the day that we went to pick the bike up, Junelle helped to adjust the height of the seat, the tilt of the seat and made sure that I was comfortable on the bike. We also found out that when you purchase a new bike, you can go back anytime within 60 days of your purchase to tune up the bike (which I saw cost $99 if you had to pay for it!). I am definitely going to bring my bike back within the 60 days, and my husband is jealous because he wants to tune up his bike too but he thinks it's very expensive. On a side note, completely irrelevant to bikes, Junelle offered me a piece of oatmeal carmelites on the day of her birthday and it was absolutely delicious. One of City Cycle's mechanics made it from scratch and I couldn't help but ask for the recipe. They were so nice to type up the recipe and mail it to my home address!
