Owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. Transaction was smooth. He took the time to explain everything about the bicycle to my son. Recommended.... read more

The owner/ manager was a doll, even though it was near closing time. He was respectful, took care of me right away and got me right back onto the road. I came in because one of my brake cables was missing and my back wheel didn't seem to be on quite right. Although he didn't He supplied me with a gasket for my wheel and attached it for free. read more

Today i stopped by to purchase a Presta valve adapter. A Presta valve, is a small metal device used on newer bikes to help inflate your tires. They average anywhere from $1 to $1.25. I was quoted, for just one $8.95? I though perhaps I didn't hear correctly. Yup, $8.95. Fortunately I new they should be less than $2. And Even that is high. Not only did I walk out, I also walked home since my tires were still deflated. . See attached photo. read more

Oceanside Cycle - Bike Rentals Near Me - Oceanside, New York

Service was great just met Scott today my neighbor referred me and this is the go to spot. I didn't look at the bikes because I wanted one specific item he had but there is a lot of choices! Good spot Family ran Good vibes read more

Wife brought my son's Blocks Flyer tire to this shop to replace the tube. Tire was not even on the bike. I had already taken it off. Charged my wife $48 dollars. Called and asked why. Said the tube was $20 (which I am not even sure I believe because I could have bought it on Amazon for way cheaper). So he basically charged her $28 for something I could have and should have done myself in 10 minutes. Plus, I called Merrick bike shop and they would have charged me $30. Will never bring anything to this store again. read more

Had a problem with my fiancé bike seat. Took her bike there he was working on another person's bike so he stopped what he was doing to look AND fix her seat. Cant say enough about how nice he treated me. He didn't want to charge me anything but I felt bad for his time and gave him a nice tip. Glad to have a great business like this in town. read more

This place is horrible and would never recommend to anyone. They are soo overpriced and their services are horrible. You go there to get something fixed, not only do you get scammed and overpriced, you get more problems with the bike. Bunch of scam artists, I would never trust them with my bike again. This incident happened a few months ago, I am still so furious about it. read more

Had a horrendous experience here. Whoever was helping me was rude, condescending and not helpful at all. I asked about a specific name brand and instead of being informative and educating me more on bikes, he laughed and told me I should go to Walmart or toys r us! I gave myself a $500-600 budget on a new bike and since I live around the corner, was actually looking forward to riding my new bike home. This didn't happen. I felt berated and made to look like a fool. I strongly urge anyone looking to buy a bike to not visit this establishment. These people need to be schooled on customer service and sales. Never would I have thought a business would treat someone looking to spend money in their business so poorly. I guess they must don really well to turn away business like that. Avoid at all cost read more

This place is great. Scott's been in the business a long time, and his expertise and speed are a real gift to the community. My bike has never ridden this smoothly as it does right now after my seasonal tune up. He's a great and friendly shopkeeper. Does great work and works quick. I dont know what these negative nancys are talking about, dude has ALWAYS been a gent to me. read more

Amazing service. Been coming here forever and whenever I have an issue with my bike I go out of my way to get Oceanside (from NYC) to stop in. I'll also never purchase a bike from anywhere else as they have so much knowledge, even to the point of steering me to a cheaper bike pump because it would attach to my bike better. Simply put they are amazing. read more

Owner can be a bit sarcastic but he knows his business and repairs are done well and on time. Prices are same as everywhere else which is no bargain but I'm sure this is not an easy business and rent / taxes on Long Island are killing all of us. read more

Customer service is very Poor. Perhaps the guy is tired and needs to go home to rest. You should not have a store if you have no patience. I was in the store with my two girls for 2 minutes and I asked 2 questions and that was too much for the guy because he said I can either buy the bike or not because he has a line forming outside. I definitely will not come here again. read more

I took a ride to Long Beach despite the cold and snow. It had been a week since my last ride. I usually do a 40 mile ride 5 times a week. I was in serious withdrawal; suffering deficits in all of the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits a good ride provides me with. Halfway down Long Beach Rd on my way back to Flushing I got a flat. I fixed it behind the IHOP with numb and white fingers. Unfortunately there was a troublesome bulge in the valve area that would have caused a re-flat in short time. At that point I could not move my hands enough to reset the tire on the rim. Down the road a bit is Oceanside Cycle and the owner, I gather to be Scott. He refitted the tire, gave me the opportunity to warm up, and even offered me a hot chocolate all for a small fee. Excellent service by any standard. 5 stars! read more

This place deserves no stars. The guy needs to either get a new job or retire. Walked right in and walked right out. Absolutely no customer service. I wouldn't recommend buying a bike from this place. Rather go somewhere else where you get treated with respect. read more

I have bought both my daughters bicycles from this store and both times I was given professional and patient courtesy as my daughters were both undecided between a few bicycles. With purchase he also explained a free tune-up during the spring season. I was very happy with the service and while it was a little pricey from what I read some people post, I can say it was competitive with all the bike shops I know in prices. I plan on bringing my son now to upgrade to a larger bicycle. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!I brought my mother to the shop to buy a bike for mother's day and out of nowhere the owner starts making inappropriate comments. Talking all perverted to my wonderful mother who raised me. But i kept my cool and took her out of there. Luckily he caught me on a good day. If you don't mind getting disrespected then this shop for you. But in my opinion, keep your dignity and shop elsewhere. read more

Best service ever. The only place to go! Fast reliable friendly staff. Support a local company!

i purchased a kids cannondale for my grandson he loves it the owner was very nice considering the circumstances and how busy bike stores are... im hoping he can tune up my racing bike b read more

The owner is knowledgeable, I'll give him that, but do not bring a condescending attitude towards people who want to give you business. Not a good way to run a local bike shop. read more

Listen, I know your business probably isn't booming and you hate the world for it, but when I tell you I want 26 x 2.2 tubes and you spend a solid minute trying to convince me that 26 x 1.6 is the same thing, you deserve to have no customers. I was never asked what kind of riding they'd be used for or whether I'd be inflating them to the maximum pressure or what rims they'd be seated on, so I can only assume you know nothing, wanted this crap review and never wanted me to step foot in your store again. Success! Also, learn what a chainring spacer is, you fool. read more

The owner Scott was very brash...took a quick, 30 second look at my bike and proceeded to tell me I needed 400 dollars worth of repair. Only took it in for a service... the front shifter was broken but he offered no options...just 400 dollars. Took it to long beach and got it fixed and partially tuned for 60 bucks... Bike rides great. Horrible experience at oceanside cycles, I do not recommend them. read more

Very helpful with questions. This is a family owned business that loves what they do. I found that I got the answers I needed quickly and easily. Nice selection for a small store, and they did not try to "upsell" to me which was refreshing. Definitely a better choice to buy from than a large retailer, as I got exactly what I needed at a fair price. read more

I don't mind a little sarcasm as long as it's not overboard. I'm a New Yorker so you really have to pile it on or be nasty too for that to bother me. That I was charged 25 percent over MSRP on a helmet does. Sure, it is incumbent upon me to be saavy, but there is also responsibility on the part of the merchant not to gouge the community being served. Of course if it were a larger purchase, due diligence would have been practiced, but you can't start an investigation before every small one. True to the day, one cannot let their guard down for a single instant. Shame... read more

The Service was horrible. They didn't even recognize my presence for a good while. Then when they did see me, they treated me as if I was wasting their time. Mind you there was no one else in the store, the whole time. read more

REPOST from 6/5/2013 The owner Scott was very brash...took a quick, 30 second look at my bike and proceeded to tell me I needed 400 dollars worth of repair. Only took it in for a service... the front shifter was broken but he offered no options...just 400 dollars. Took it to long beach and got it fixed and partially tuned for 60 bucks... Bike rides great. Horrible experience at oceanside cycles, I do not recommend them. I reposted the above because the exact same thing happened to me recently. I walked in, and Scott the owner looked at my bike and his clear disgust, I later found out, was because i was there for a tuneup. He had had a few of those that day he later told me and it just showed that he was not pleased. Mind you, I had bought the bike there and Scott sold it to me with free lifetime tuneups but i had never brought it in to be tuned it up before. The bike was older but not been not been abused, It still rides great but I hadnt used it in a few seasons. He put it up on his repair rack and literally the first words out of his mouth were that i needed a new bike. I balked and then he went on about how i needed over $400 in repairs. Many of which i knew i did not really need or want. He very noticeably did the tuneup in a reluctant manner. One of the things he did say was that i needed new tires, which i agreed to but when i said to put some on, he refused . saying i was throwing my money away. That was a several weeks ago and i have been enjoying my bike since. No thanks to my experience with Scott at Oceanside Cycle. The following is an excerpt from a post that also captures my experience. 1/25/2018 Had a horrendous experience here. Whoever was helping me was rude, condescending and not helpful at all. read more

Stay away from this store, stop by the shop last month still an hour away from closing, I have been looking for a MTB bike for my Son, so even though I read the negative reviews against my better judgement I decided to stop by and see if they have anything instock, been to two other stores but they did not have what I was looking for, this store is supposed to be a GIANT authorized retailer, the shop owner looked at me once told him what I was looking for no BS , And I am looking to spend Money, he showed me a Giant hardtail base model with an MSRP OF $439.00 online from the manufacturer, and He quotes me $650 plus tax SHAME ON YOU and adding that I won't find anything else out there, talk about price gouging during a pandemic, I'm sure at the MSRP they have a profit margin already but to just price GOUGE AND shock a client is not the way to handle business. I strongly believe In buying from local businesses,but with this type of behavior I would not waste my time or money again at this Store, better off buying somewhere else or even online and have it shipped to your home and have a professional Bike mechanic with no attitude assemble it for you. read more

What an amazing example of a community business with heart. I was in there for the first time the other day and it was a joy to experience the owner being so helpful to myself and his other customers. There is a genuine feeling you get from this establishment. I believe in patronizing business that care about its customers and also are experts in their field. Everyone works hard, but businesses that go the extra mile are the ones that stand out in my mind. read more

Excellent customer service. Fast efficient and courteous. Took care of my problem RIGHT AWAY. Good reasonable price also. I had previously went to a bike shop in rockville center that was a rip off i feel . Will definately make this shop my go to for repairs. JUST AWESOME read more

I have been dealing with this store for a few years and have purchased 2 bikes from it. Honestly - I have had better service and better prices elsewhere read more

Scott was knowledgable and friendly. He helped me choose the bike that was right for me and let me test drive it to be sure. He took his time and showed me everything I needed to know about my new fixie, since it is my first. It may be smaller mom and pop shop with a basic selection, however, he will gladly locate and order the bike you're looking for! Aside from normal wear and tear, they provide free tune-ups and fixes for the life of the bike. read more

Do not go here. Not sure about buying a bike because they have to compete but the repair shop is entirely untrustworthy. A quote here was so much more than elsewhere that the other bike guy was entirely perplexed as was I. Very very weird. Never had someone try to jack up a price so much. It was alot. read more

I really like this place & Bruce the owner. He offered us lifetime adjustments on the bike we were looking at ( only 1 other dealer,in Brooklyn offers that so it's a fab perk ) everyone else offered 1 yr.he's a very knowledgeable hard working guy who's been in business for decades with fair prices running a small business which deserves support.i did lots of research on folding bikes...he was the only south shore local guy who had thelifetime aluminum frame warranteed giant expressway in stock...fab bike soft seat multidirectional adjustability. After test riding several others brands, dahons, origami etc elsewhere, it was clear from a test ride the giant expressway was ' the right folding bike' for even small people with shorter than the normal 25+ " armspans, it comes with everything including bag.i found bruce to be very accommodating & patient.closed Tuesday's currently but he has lots of bikes & accessories & he deserves a great review. read more
