Would you have the knowledge offered, polite service and 100% awesome experience in another shop? Only if you were in their second location in State College. Great place. Be prepared for a little sticker shock if you haven't priced bikes for a while. But if you seriously want all the things I spoke about above, this is your stop.

    I took my Lectric XP4 to Two Bros Bike Shop based on great reviews--even though it meant an…read more80-minute round trip. My hydraulic brakes were making random scraping noises, and gears 7 and 8 had a slight clicking feeling. I also wanted a general check to make sure everything was aligned and torqued properly. I was greeted by Max and explained the issues. He offered a $90 "Stage One" package--cleaning, lubrication, tightening, tire pressure, and inspection. My bike was only two weeks old, so I was hesitant, but since my requested repairs were only $30, I agreed. Three hours later, I got a call that the bike was done. Fast, I thought--maybe that's why they have good reviews. But when I picked it up the next day, the scraping and clicking were still there. It was clear they'd only done the Stage One package, skipping the actual repairs. They even claimed my two-week-old chain was 25% worn, which made no sense. I called and spoke to Chris, who said I could bring it back. When I returned, Chris seemed rushed and a bit dismissive, but after we went over everything again, he promised to personally inspect the bike and offered a refund along with free repairs. That was fair, so I left it with him. By Wednesday afternoon--two days later--I hadn't heard anything, so I called. Chris said he wanted to test ride it before I picked it up, and I got a call later that day saying it was ready. Unfortunately, the back brake was still scraping. Chris admitted he hadn't touched the back tire--even though I'd clearly mentioned both. He told me to "double tap the brakes" to stop the noise. My gears still click, and the rear brake squeaks worse than before. Even my wife noticed. After four hours of driving and multiple visits, I'm left with the same problems I started with. Very disappointed.

    I rarely write negative reviews, but after more than six months I still cannot fully express the…read morefrustration I feel after paying $270.00 for services that were never rendered and the humiliating experience with the rude and threatening demeanor of "Tom," the apparent business owner. I was under the impression that I was booking with the bike rental business across from the train station, which I now know is a common mistake, and only realized the mix‑up when I brought my guests into that shop and was told my reservations were not with them. As I was trying to understand what happened, my phone rang and it was Tom, who apparently knew this was a frequent confusion. Instead of helping resolve the situation, he told me I was too stupid to read a Google map and that he would not subject his "on‑time VIP customers" to my supposed stupidity. Honestly, a business owner said this. I was stunned and deeply embarrassed, especially standing there in front of my guests. Only afterward did I look up his reviews and see that I was not the only person subjected to this kind of behavior, and I also noticed that some of his positive reviews were clearly intended for the other bike rental business. I am sharing this to warn potential bike riders: Jim Thorpe is a beautiful scenic tour and can be a wonderful experience, but choose your rental company carefully so your day is not ruined before it even begins.

    As if Tom couldn't have already proven himself to be an absolute lunatic, he has chosen to go thru…read moreall of his incredibly honest and accurate reviews of his terribly run facade of a bike rental business, and update his responses to ALL of them. Please, anyone and everyone who might be considering getting outside in the Pocono/Jim Thorpe area this season, please research this company and trust all the very honest one star reviews of this company. Don't let him and his horrible business tactics destroy your vacation plans. Do your research and call around to other companies in the area. Or call the Jim Thorpe visitor center and ask them for recommendations- I can guarantee you this company will NOT be on their recommendation list.

    Laurence, Boxy Bikes owner, was super helpful and responsive as I made my plans to visit Ithaca. I…read morewas able to rent a Boxy bike online and use my PayPal account. The rental includes a helmet and bike lock. I'm more comfortable riding a tricycle at home for running errands, but Laurence was very patient as I became re-accustomed to riding a two-wheeler, helping me find a bike that was the right size for me, adjusting the seat and handle bars, and walking me through how to charge the bike and use the electric throttle. The electric motor was very helpful as I rode around Itacha's steep hills. All in all, the rental process was easy and the bike was fantastic!

Though I've only tested the rental bikes (including electric!) I haven't needed to rent one as I have my own--but such a great option for people visiting town, especially now with the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and other bicycle infrastructure that make conditions here better. People are newer to biking, especially those with kids, surely appreciate these improvements. When I have had one of my two bicycles serviced there (numerous times by now) the turnover time is quick and the prices are reasonable. I'm taking my winter bike in to Boxy Bikes tomorrow for some service before that road salt comes out! A great, reliable Local Bike Shop!
