What to do when the derailleur hangs while you're on a Sunday ride at the Capital Trail?…read more Call these guys, cause they are open on Sunday. I had to get an Uber ride into Carytown from 8 miles out on the trail but Joel assured me they could take it in on Sunday. He said 'we are a full service' bike repair shop and we're open today so bring it in and we'll take a look at it. Upon arrival, I got a professional greeting and Joel gave me a realistic estimate of the cost and the time line for repairs. You got to like that level of service. Like most other shops in Carytown, you will be challenged to find parking. They have no dedicated lot so you'll walk 2 to 3 blocks to find street parking.

I've only been here twice, never again. The owner himself was very rude both times and talked down…read moreto me about my knowledge of bikes the first time and then ended up being wrong and charged me 60 bucks to install new pads (I didn't need pads and it didn't fix the problem). 2nd time he kicked me and my friend out of the shop because we were checking a price on something from the shop my friend works for. Nothing wrong with comparing prices and my friend was gonna buy from recycles even if it was slightly more expensive but just wanted to make sure the difference wasn't crazy. So much for trying to go to the local guy instead of buying from my friends out of town shop. Never making that mistake again.

I can't praise CBC enough. Whether you're a frequent shopper at CBC or new to cycling, their staff…read morewill take care of you. Highlights below. 1. I can't stress this enough - The staff is friendly & extremely knowledgably. (common complaint I've seen on Yelp is dealing with attitudes from snobby cyclist store employee's) I have yet to experience this at CBC. 2. Well stocked store even in peak season; and if they don't have what you need I've found they can get it quickly in most cases. 3. Quick turn around with expert mechanical work. 4. They're heavily involved in the local cycling community; setting up / offering group rides for most ages & levels. I've been, and will continue to go to their group rides. I've always felt welcome even showing up as "the new guy"

Worst. Customer. Service. Ever. I called Carytown Bicycle, looking for a specific bike the…read moreSpecialized website said they had in stock. I spoke to someone who verified the bike and the price. I told him I was traveling an hour to test drive it and he said come on in. When I got there the bike wasn't there. The person there, Max, told me it was the manager I had spoken to. He couldn't find him. He also didn't appear to try too hard. Max made it clear that he wasn't the source of the problem. He also made it clear he was not going to be the source of a solution. Max's only concern was that the issue didn't affect him. When I made my displeasure known, Max told me to leave. The only help he was willing to provide was to help me out the door. Worst. Customer. Service. Ever. Carytown Bicycle fails to realize three important elements of business: 1. Business goes where it is welcomed. 2. People spend money where they feel appreciated. 3. In business, everyday is election day and people vote with their wallets. I would not spend a nickel of my hard-earned money in this arctic blast of incompetence and unconcerned indifference. Nor should you. I would not return there if they offered to give me the bike. Worst. Customer. Service. Ever.

He took the time to explain different types of bikes to me. We checked out acoustic and e-bikes. He asked detailed questions to see what I was looking for. I ended up trying a Verve +3 lowstep e-bike. Bryan took the time to answer all my questions about the bike and dive into interesting facts. His knowledge felt endless on bikes! Before trying the bike, he filled it with more air and tested its safety. He gave me a helmet and I got to test the bike in the Libbie Mill area. It was a fantastic bike! Although I didn't purchase it this go around I definitely will be back for any e-bike needs.

There are parking spots out front, a bus stop, and you can bring your bike inside to shop. ***EXPERIENCE*** I don't come here often, but when I do I usually come for local brews, nightingale ice cream sandwiches, or a bike tune up. I love the little local markets we have all around RVA, and the fact that this one doubles as a bike shop is so cool to me. Their bike shop people are down to earth and really help you with any bike needs/concerns you may have. I'd recommend getting your bike fixed here if you're looking for a place. ***PRICE*** Market goods are a bit on the pricier side (think Whole Foods), but they have local and organic products. And it's always great to support a local shop. I haven't gotten a bike tune up from them in a while, but I remember it feeling like a reasonable price. My partner recently had a chain link replaced and brake tune-up and that came out to $30. ***CONCLUSION*** I love Outpost. It's cute, trendy, and local. It does a beautiful job at combining all things Richmond and bikes under one roof.
