    Coffee Tea
    Toya J.

    This is by far one of the best bike shops in the area. (Insert Heart emojis.) And now they serve tea and coffee, so it's an even cooler place for bikers to hang out. I took my girl Sheba, because the noodle broke and to my surprise, they fixed her up right there on the spot and did an overall tune up. The gentleman fitted her for a new water bottle holder, because she's a foldable bicycle and smaller than most, I couldn't just order a generic water bottle holder and put it anywhere, so I'm glad they took care of that for me as well for a reasonable price. I took her on the trail that same day and she rides better now than when I first got her! The guys that work here are cool and are all about showing you how to keep your bike running smoothly. Of course, they sell bikes, but if you just want a smoother ride, the adjustments, and features they can add are worth the trip and could save you the cost of a newer bike. I heart Proteus Bicycles-they looked out for me!

    Original Neon Lights refurbished.  Nice !

    This place is super helpful with good service. The bike shop staff are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help. It's also the same people for a while now, which I like. Excellent pandemic protocol. Inside while you wait for your bike to be fixed is a coffee shop. I tried the spiced chai latte, strawberry milk something or other - I can't remember the full name, lavender lemonade, and the iced matcha latte. The iced matcha latte with oat milk is how I like mine, was delicious!! It was lightly sweetened, not heavily. The coffee shop is family owned and built. The resin squares embellished with bike parts hand made! The NEON Proteus lights are the original lights from the original Proteus store. It's a cute little spot if you don't feel like the hustle and bustle of Starbucks and the like. They sell pastries, cookies and ice cream as well and there is indoor seating and out seating options. Annie was my barista. Loved the Iced Matcha Latte.

    Nothing better than late 80's NOS tools. I love this place & So did my Father. Great store and friendly staff. A must if you're into cycling

    Great shop! I called for a specific item and they checked that they had it in stock before I drove there and gave me the details of how to pick it up (call when I was out front). I called from outside and the person who had taken my call came out with my item and took my card to run inside. I asked a few questions about the product and got some good info. Will definitely be back in the future!

    Please return this missing "O"

    See all

    My wife and I had been intrigued by the idea of getting ourselves e-bikes. We had done some…read more'research', for many months, but quite frankly we had become overwhelmed by the number of manufacturers, features, specifications, etc. etc., and as a result, were unable to make a decision. Long story short my wife ran into Good Vibes Bikes in Rockville (https://www.goodvibesbikes.com/) so we decided to take a look. What a difference! We had the good fortune to be greeted by the manager JAIME MUNOZ whose knowledge of the business was truly impressive! We aren't young and described our needs and use cases, and even though the shop had a bewildering array (100+) different bikes, he immediately directed us to 3 different options which he believed suited our needs. He helped us 'test drive' all three, in their safe parking lot, and we were able to make a quick decision. It was a breath of fresh air! He helped us understand the features and operation of the bike, and patiently answered ALL our questions quickly and direcly... Our bikes will arrive in a few days and we have complete confidence in our decision. If you do take the time to visit their website there is a page (https://www.goodvibesbikes.com/why-buy-from-us) that describes the reasons why buying from them is a sound decision. At first, it seemed like a bit of self-promotion, but after visiting and making the purchase, it all makes sense. These bikes are complex beasts. The idea of two 100lb flat-packed cardboard boxes showing up at our house from some gigantic on-line seller, and spending, likely many hours, assembling them, was more than a little daunting. We consider ourselves reasonably technically and mechanically competent, but having them assembled and tested by professionals before taking them on the road definitely provides a lot of peace of mind... Just the safety considerations alone are worth the price of admission... The additional benefit is they also provide a lot of other services for maintaining and servicing the bikes, which is also a BIG DEAL. I cannot imagine the stress, endless frustrating telephone conversations, and the hassle of trying to fix, or worst case, disassemble and return one of these things to some faceless organization! Bottom line is our bikes will arrive in a few days, and we are very relaxed about our decision. They will assemble and test our bikes and JAIME will give us a call when they are ready for pickup. They will load them onto our bike rack, ready for the nearest trail!! Very impressed with JAIME MUNOZ, and the business model in general. I highly recommend them. If you are in the market for an e-bike, walk in and ask for JAIME, it will make your life a lot easier.

    They did a seasonal tune up for an older bike. They exceeded expectations in terms of how soon our…read morebike would be ready. Great job and would highly recommend!

Cherry blossoms, tulip fields, the Iwo Jima Memorial, the Washington Monument in the distance -- all from the seat of an e-bike that does half the work for you.

If you haven't done an e-bike tour through this area yet, Todd is your guy. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    My GF planned this bike trip for us from Old Town to Mt. Vernon. It's something we had talked about…read moresince the beginning of the year. I had been less than enthusiastic since our last tandem bike jaunt in DC left me ragged and looking forward to the end. We rented a tandem bike from a known rental in DC; the bike was rickety and took effort even on the completely flat route we were on. My GF found Pedego and opted for the tandem electric bike. This was a 180 degree experience from the other rental company jn DC. The owner was friendly, attentive, enthusiastic and really made us feel welcome. He knows his bikes gave us a quick run down that made us feel comfortable. The bikes are impeccabley maintained and he's thought of everything including helmets, storage pouch, bike lock, flat tire kit etc. He was even extremely well versed on the route to Mt. Vernon. Every pointer he gave us was spot on. We made it to Mt. Vernon and enjoyed food, history, and culture. The way back was fun since the bike did all the work, electric is the way to go for tandem bike long hauls. I plan on coming back to buy some accessories for my own fat tire e-bikes. This was a memorable experience that was easy and affordable.
