Bought my Specialized hybrid at Mr. C's 35 years ago, and I'm still riding it, between 2,500 to 3,000 miles every year around the streets of Brooklyn and the rest of the City. I wouldn't know which end of the wrench to hold were I to have tried to keep it up myself all these years. Mr. C and his team are the best. They've kept it rolling so that it feels like a new bike every time I get on it. read more

it's a scam the prices are never what they tell you ... (sighs) been going there for years and loved it but over time some of the staff and the owner himself act weird and unfriendly like they don't need the business ???!!! like OKAY ... noted !!! I'll be taking my bizness elsewhere now ... good luck to the few decent dudes still there but otherwise do urself a favor and find another shop in the sunset area !!! read more

We were looking for an full size women's (step-thru) e-bike, with a small frame, a pull-out battery that is integrated with the frame, and not overly heavy. We had already stopped at another store which could meet some of our specs, but not all. So, when we got to Mr. C's Cycles, we were hoping to find maybe one bike that met our needs. We found several. Mr. C's Cycles had a large selection of e-bikes on two separate floors and my wife was happy to have a choice. Their staff were friendly and they double-checked all of the cables, screws, and adjustments before the bike left the door. Overall, it was a great experience read more

First time coming to Mr. C's Cycles! It was recommended to me by a friend. They are OPEN during this time and their service was excellent! Came in just to look for a bike and they quickly found one that was perfect and suited for my height. They helped to quickly install lights and a bell. My friend just came recently to fix up her battered bike. They were very thorough in noting down everything that needed to be fixed up. He even noticed on my friend's bike that the brakes were installed incorrectly formerly (needed to be more slanted instead of horizontal). The people who worked there are also very patient and kind! I definitely will be back - it is worth the trek! read more

My husband and I have been meaning to buy a bike for some time now. We stopped by a few shops in Sunset Park but found the inventory to be underwhelming. Mr. C's was a pleasant surprise! In addition to the bikes in the shop, they have a gallery one block over with more options. Victor was very helpful and informative! He was patient and did not try to upsell us. I'm quite indecisive and couldn't choose between two models. He went through the features of each bike and let me take them both for a spin around the block. I ended up purchasing a matte purple Fuji Absolute and my husband got an Intersekt 7, both super sleek looking and handled smoothly. read more

Large selection of bikes. Very knowledgeable, they have excellent mechanics and service.

Exceptional customer service. Came in to get a brake adjustment and victor hooked me up in no time. Not to mention that they helped reattach my broken Bluetooth speaker. My husband got a full rundown of the helmets and ended up getting a $45 one. It's pricey but will save his life. Make sure you support local businesses over online giants like Am@zon. Their expertise is well worth it! read more

I came in to purchase an E-Bike for my wife. I went in with some research, & after a friendly test ride around the neighborhood it was an easy choice for my wife to make. Carlito, the gentleman who helped my wife get set up with the bike, was super friendly, professional & helpful. He was patient with us, he answered all our questions, and he even helped put the bike on my bike rack! I couldn't be happier with my experience, and my wife LOVES her bike. read more

Solid repair service, but very pricey. I go there from time to time to get my folding ebikes tuned up when something starts clicking or getting loose. Guys at the shop know what they're doing and have no problem finding/fixing most of the issues in just a few hours. But there is always something going on with pricing for those repairs. Let's say last time I went, they tightened up all rear spokes and also retightened bottom bracket. Told me it's $55 before work. When I came to pick it up, they charged me almost $80. And it's not the first time it happens in exactly the same manner. I don't have much choice, this is the only local quality store that works with e-bikes, but I wish they actually charged what they say initially and it wasn't that crazy expensive. Otherwise - a good store. read more

The staff here was fantastic. Helpful, patient, kind, and ZERO toxic masculinity. Nice supply of bike options at a variety of prices, and a good supply of accessories too. Would recommend. read more

Mr.C's is a real gem. They have more obscure parts in stocks than Roy's at sometimes half the price. There is no snobbery here. I needed BB bearings for my CAAD 8's infernal BB30 BB ASAP as I just messed them up and had a big ride the next day. Mr.C's and Roy's were the only ones in NYC who had them in stock. Roy's metal bearings were more expensive than some ceramic bearings so I came here for literally the exact same bearing for less than half the price with none of the attitude of Roy's. When I came through the door and mentioned I called about the bearings they remembered and went to retrieve them. Even though they knew from the phone call I was only there for $32 of bearings Carlo treated me like gold. Even though he was eating lunch he stopped and insisted he show me around the shop, and let me tell you it is huge and well stocked. It looks small from the outside, but it is absolutely cavernous on the inside. We chatted bikes for what seemed like a couple of minutes, but was really half an hour plus as his food got cold. He even pulled a Topstone down for me to try out. If you live in the area before you order tires, tubes, bags, a whole bike, etc off Amazon swing by Mr.C's first as his prices are highly competitive with the internet, he only carries quality, and the level of service can not be matched. Why order a bike you don't know if it fits you properly off the internet when Mr. C's can get you fitted on a bike you know will fit, can be test ridden, and will be just as cheap if not cheaper than the internet before the immeasurable value of having a shop like Mr.C's in your corner. As I was walking out a mother was walking in to get her young son fitted for a bike helmet and without hesitation Carlo went right over to help them. The internet may be great for certain kinds of shopping, but in the cycling world nothing beats old school customer service and the ability to try the product and be sure it fits and functions how you want it to. read more

Nice people, very friendly environment and top notch service. I bought a cannondale trail and I honesty couldn't be happier right now. I highly recommend this store. They let you test ride bikes, and they don't even twice judge you by the way you look. Product only goes so far, but it's the service that really matters. On another note, never buy bicycles online, unless you want to get your kid something from Walmart. Never use CrimsonBikes. Trust me when I say this read more

My new favorite bike shop, although it's at least an hour's drive from home. I can't say enough about how courteous and helpful Victor and Sheldon were to my wife and I when we drove in from Syosset, Long Island last week to buy an Aventon Pace 350 e-bike. Out here in the suburbs, many of the bicycle shops suffer from an attitude that turns older, less "competitive" cyclists like my wife and I away. I didn't know what to expect when we visited an urban bike shop in the middle of a pandemic-induced run on bicycles -- especially e-bikes. What we found at Mr. C's was just the opposite of what we had expected. From the minute we walked in the store, we were sold on the great vibe these guys generate. Every single employee treated us like gold, even before they knew we were determined to buy a bike. Victor, whom I had spoken to on the phone the previous day, immediately brought an Aventon 350 up from the basement and passed it off to Sheldon, who then spent the next hour or so explaining the bike to my wife and I (this is our first e-bike) and answering the million questions I (as a skilled old-school bike mechanic) bombarded him with. Never, ever did we feel like he was talking down to us or bs'ing us about what the bike can and cannot do. Very refreshing. I will post my one "negative" comment here so that it doesn't hang in your head when you are done reading. If you are not comfortable riding on a city street, be prepared to purchase your bike without a test-spin, because Mr. C's is not close to a park or any open area to ride without negotiating busy traffic. Not a deal breaker for me, but some might have a problem with this. We ended up buying the Aventon Pace 350 for $1300, which is $200 less than the lowest-priced Long Island bike shop was asking for it. Mr. C's was the only shop within 100 miles of us that had one of these in stock, so they could have easily milked us for a couple of hundred dollars more. We are both totally impressed with this store and I wish they were a lot closer to home, as I would happily give them all my business for all my bikes. read more

I had my mountain bike packed and shipped at Mr C's. I worked with Victor, who was incredibly efficient and helpful. I dropped my bike off and had to run to a plane. He kept in touch and took directions remotely related to shipping. ADDITIONALLY, as a bonus, when he told me the packing size, i told him it would be cheaper to ship in a smaller box, which he did. Fantastic! When I arrived, my bike shoed up in the most efficiently packed box; better packed by far than other places I have shipped from, and at a very reasonable price. read more

super nice staffs. good knowledge, lots of patience. good selections. definitely will go back!

Have bought several bikes and Thule racks here over many years. Consistently good service, advise and prices. Bought a Thule rack there today at Internet prices and got at least $40 of expert installation thrown in free. Would have taken me all afternoon to figure out the mounting. Now it's perfect. I don't give many 5 stars but this is what neighborhood business and service is all about. read more

I am a palliative care nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital. I have to travel over 20 bike miles a day for my 12 hour shifts. When the Coronavirus hit NYC, I knew I needed to find a safe/fast/affordable/reliable way to get to work. Mr. C's Cycles had a great selection and were beyond helpful getting me set up with the right bike for my needs (especially Victor!). About three weeks later on the bike in to work at 5:45am, I got a flat on 1st Avenue and 53rd Street and had to leave it and take a cab to work. Being a single parent, I do not have adult support available to me. Carlos (the Manager) came to the rescue. He had my bike picked up and serviced. Not only that but did not charge me for the new heavy duty tubing or anything else. These guys are true angels. Thank you for taking care of Me while I take care of You! You have a customer for Life. read more

When I signed up for the 5 Boro Bike Tour I started looking for a bike to rent. Mr. C's and another shop were close to my son's apartment, so I called both. At the other shop I left a recorded message and didn't hear back for hours. At Mr. C's I talked to Victor, who gave me all the information and worked out a multi-day package price for me even lower than the price advertised on the internet. He promised a brand new hybrid Head, my size. I offered a deposit, but he didn't want it, so I sent an email to confirm the deal in writing. I got a reply from Valentino. All set. When I got to Brooklyn, I went straight to Mr. C's. Victor? I said. He said my name in reply, then went to where he had the bike waiting, exactly as promised. I brought the bike back three days later perfectly satisfied with the entire experience. Victor is great to do business with; the shop is open 7 days a week. You can't do better than a bike for sightseeing and getting around--I highly recommend it! Brooklyn was extremely easy to navigate and I felt safe on all the streets. Thank you to Victor and Valentino! read more

I did not purchase my road bike from Mr. C, but I give him all of my repairs. Mr. C is located in Sunset, a neighborhood that is under rapid fire change. It is a nice space, with a big inventory, and Mr. C. (Caesar) is a very good guy. I replaced both tires on my road bike recently, and purchased high quality Kevlar tires for only $34.95. I needed my crankset cleaned and greased, that repair cost only $40. I also needed a seat adjustment and Mr. C did not charge me because I had made a purchase, and given him other repairs. Thank you Mr. C, I will continue to use your business. read more

I decided to do the 40 mile TD Bike Tour this year and knew I had to take my bike to Carlos at Mr. C's. It was my ex's bike that he left behind and it was in bad shape but a good bike. Carlos switched the pedals (one was missing), fixed the break (one didn't work), switched out the seat for a more comfortable women's saddle, recommended gloves and padded shorts and did a final tune up the day before the ride. My ride was more comfortable in those 40 miles than some of my easier 10 mile rides in the past. He's the best! read more

This place has a great selection of kid and adult bikes. They carry brands like Cannondale, Bianchi and Specialized. Apart from the bicycle selection, the customer service is top notch. Victor helped me to find a bike for my 10 year old niece. He was patient and gave us a lot of information about how the bicycle gears and brakes work. I would definitely recommend this bike shop to anyone interested in getting a great bicycle! Customer service at Mr. C's is excellent! read more

I love Mr. C's! I've stopped in several times since moving to the area a couple of months ago, and they have been awesome each and every time. The first time I went I only had a list of questions; they took the time to answer every one of them, and were very honest in all of their answers. Since that time I have gotten new tires and tubes (installed quickly and a fair price) and some basic gear. Never once have they tried to sell me something I don't need. If there is something I do need, I tell them my budget and they are amazing at giving me options without going over. Every staff person I have talked to has been kind and knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. There are other bike shops closer to my apartment, but Mr. C's is where it's at. read more

The guys know what they are doing in terms of fixing the bike, getting it tuned up... The staff told me it would be about two hours so I left to find some food nearby and came back... and it wasn't done yet. Waited in the store for about an extra hour before I saw them tuning my bike and finally, I got to test ride it with the tune-ups. They were very nice about getting all the tune ups done to my liking, but man, an extra four hours? They could've just said so from the beginning that the wait time was longer. It's like they forget to account for their staff going off to lunch. read more

As a non-native English speaker, going to a bike repair shop sounds a little frightening from the beginning: I know there will be a thousand bike-related words that I won't know, but at the same time, I'll have to sound cool and pretend to be a specialist, so they won't rip me off. I had two very specific things to solve: (1) my brakes weren't working properly and (2) I had no shift llever for the back gears. When I walked into Mr. C's Cycles, it was still morning time, they had just opened the store (10:30ish am), which was pretty empty and pleasant. The first red alert was that after I explained what I wanted, the guy said: "You want a tune up". This has happened before: a very general and expensive solution to a very specific demand. I even asked about doing specific fixes, but he convinced me I needed a tune up. I decided to give it a try: $60 for a tune up + $22 for the shift levers themselves. I was told that I would get a call if my bike was ready still that day, but I could certainly show up the next day to pick it up (which was the second red alert, since I was one the first clients that day). Around 11am the next day, I showed up and the same guy, who was helping another person, just shouted at me: "You're bike is still not ready because we had to do some other stuff, we'll give you a call!". In other words: I wasted some time going there, but that was ok, I guess... At 6pm that same day (that is, almost two entire workdays after I left my bike there), I got a very kind call from Mr. C's Cyles, explaining me that my bike was ready, but that they had to do some other stuff, so the price would actually be $143, instead of the initial $82. In my opinion, this is UNACCEPTABLE: you call a client just to inform that his repair has been done, but would cost an extra $60. I went there and tried to negotiate (which I'm also very bad at), but the only thing I could get was a $13 discount if I paid in cash. I got home feeling really ripped off, which as some of you may know, is one of the worst feelings you can get. Anyways, they promised me assistance with further repairs in my bike if anything else gets wrong, which I'm highly doubtful that they would actually do for free. From my general experience, Mr. C's Cycles is very disorganized and overpriced, and it also treats its clients really bad, so I recommend you DON'T GO there and find another bike repair shop instead, if you don't want to get any $60 surprises as I did. read more

Was there last weekend to get a bike for my girlfriend. When we got there the place was crowded. We were acknowledged immediately and told that would be with as soon as possible which was fine cause it gave us time to look around. Within 5 minuets we had a sales person and believe me the guy was great. He walked my girlfriend through the selection process and the sale. Let me just say that this is the only place to buy in Brooklyn. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable unlike the rest of the snob filled shops. I already own a custom bike but I will go back to Mr C's Mountain Bike next weekend.Went back 6/18,got a killer deal on a Cannondale Bad Boy for myself. read more

Saw the reviews and was hesitant to visit this store and get my first road bike. But since it was really near where I currently live, I gave in and went in. Well what have you, I experienced entirely the opposite of what most others went through. I told him my intention, he showed me the available bikes in stock and he was willing to match the prices at BH. No run around or trying to upsell anything, he gave me choices and I picked the best bike for what I could afford. Couldn't be happier with my Trek 1.2C. Came back for more accessories and what I have found is that Mr C stocks more choices than the competitors in the area. Of course, we know they have to make money to stay in business so just be ready to pay advertised price. You can definitely haggle but a few bucks really worth the trouble when you can browse and try them on/see the item physically? He also spent a lot of time with the bike fitting and positioning that I don't think the other store would do for me. So overall happy with them and I think you should give them a try even if you have read some of the not so favorable reviews... I also just called them today to tell them I may need a shorter stem as I am having issues with the reach, and they said just come in and they'll replace the stem anytime since they have a 3 month stem replacement policy for bike purchases... Note: I am in no way affiliated with them. I give positive reviews to where it is due. I had a great experience and just want to share with everyone. read more

I own three bikes (road, mountain and commuter) and I bought them all from Mr. C. They have a great selection, and their work is great. They may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for. For my mountain bike (most recent purchase) he made me an offer, I went home and googled and went back that week and bought it--he was in line with prices I saw online and their service is great. On my road bike, I broke a spoke a couple weeks after I bought the bike, and Mr C's re spoked the whole wheel for free. That's typical of the service I've gotten there over the last ten years or so. I highly recommend them. read more

Mr C's is a great bike store convenient to many Brooklyn areas. I have known Carlos for over 20 years. I ride high end bikes. Not only does he have an amazing selection, he also has a huge inventory of bicycles. He has two showrooms and a warehouse. His staff has been with him for a long time and are very helpful if he is not there. He also does good repair work. His prices are very competitive. He now has a large women's section. Put all of this together and you have a great place to shop for bikes and your repair needs. read more

I decided I'd like to purchase a commuter bike. I shopped around in other bike shops and found other store staff would leave me feeling very intimidated and shy to ask question for fear of seeming unknowledgeable. A friend recommended Mr. C's Cycles because she had a positive experience purchasing her own bike. When I walked into Mr. C's Cycles, William greeted me warmly and we chatted a bit about my lifestyle. We talked about my job, the commute I planned to take, any other biking I'd like to do aside from commuting. I asked him a lot of questions since I am naïve about bikes in general. He answered them without judgement and gave me his own two-cents as an experienced rider. I was able to test ride the bike in question. William was very helpful in guiding me though working the gears of the bike and repeated the steps because the concept of switching gears back and forth was new to me. The whole experience was awesome and I am happy that I have a bike shop close by to my house that I feel comfortable taking my bike into and asking questions. Thank you! read more

I bought my first bike here, in late 1997, OVER 20 YEARS AGO! That bike, a shiny green Schwinn Moab 3, got stolen last year, soon after I brought it to LA. Anyway, I am looking for a new bike now and got a bit sentimental over my Schwinn, so I searched for the store and ended up here. I remember the buying process: after exhausting practically every store in New York city, I find this little gem at Mr. C's, ironically in the same neighborhood where I lived. I am THRILLED that the store is still in business! I bought the bike from. Mr. Carlos himself. read more

My go-to bike shop in Brooklyn. Great service and very knowledgeable staff.
