Long Mont Velo is one of the newer bike shops in Longmont, but they have been open for a couple of years now and continue to expand their offerings in the shop. The owners are very open to ordering items that customers have interest in buying and are focused on keeping the feeling in the shop casual and open to everyone from newbies to veteran cyclists. They carry Bianchi brand bicycles, KHS and can order others as well. They have a variety of accessories and other products including helmets, mirrors, socks, gloves, jerseys, shorts, bags of varying size, bike lube and many other items including bike-themed gifts like mugs, art and more. The shop staff are capable when it comes to various fixes and tune-ups for your bike and the mechanics will offer suggestions (with no pressure to buy things that aren't necessary) for potential needs and/or let you know the parts that may be in need of replacement in the near future. They may not have every bit or piece in stock, but they will gladly order what you need and usually get parts in very quickly.
If you're looking for a bike shop that doesn't make you feel dumb for not knowing what you need or what to ask for, this is the shop for you! It's super close to home for me, so it's an easy choice, but even if it wasn't convenient, I'd still head here for fixes, accessories and more. Oh! And, they even offer Monday night yoga classes for cyclists with very reasonable prices during the summer months. read more
