    Great bike shop located in Putnam Center. They carry Merckx, Specialized, All City and have a pretty good selection of bikes. Really friendly service and very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend this shop to anyone! Support your Local Bike Shop!

    I have been to this shop before to have 2 different electric bikes that was purchased while I was…read morein California serviced there for minor things like tune up, flat tire, helmets, locks, etc.. It looks like they want to lock out their neighborhood customers and limit it to only Bikes they sold them. I had the need for a new brake pad to be installed and was told they didn't touch any other bikes unless they sold them into their shop. They told me 1) too heavy (although I have had them service it 2x before), that they didn't want to get into a job and have it cost 7-10X of the cost and have me not pay. I even offered to have them call me before proceeding or even sign a hold harmless agreement but it boils down to they want to squeeze out any brands they didn't sell. The person was apologetic for this position and said if I got stuck to call him back and he would try but no promises. That sent me down the street to another place. Bottom line is I took it to another place in Vernon (Pedal Power) and they did it fast plus a tune up for 99 dollars.. Steve at Pedal Power is wonderful if you are in the same bind with Lectric e-bikes needing a fix - even a flat tire. I would buy anything in the future from them because they see business as a long term relationship. I was very disappointed with the 2 Glastonbury bike shops. I will post the details of their service (the other 2 that turned me down). One on Main Street I gave 2 stars because I feel that they at least they may have helped me but I don't want to beg for someone to service a very easy install that took 30 min. Thankfully, there are companies like pedal Power, that will be around longer than these mom and Pop shops that just want a quick buck. For them, I would just suggest give me a price that says I don't really want to do the work and at least it's my choice but they wouldn't even do that. Again shout out to Steve at Pedal power in Vernon.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I won't be giving this shop my business again…read more This started back in Fall 2024 when I brought my bike in for a full tune-up. It came back looking great, tight brakes, true wheels, smooth shifting. I was happy to pay the $185. I stored it for the winter and looked forward to riding it in the spring. When I pulled it out in the spring, the rear tire was flat. I wasn't sure how it happened since I hadn't even ridden it, but with a big bike trip planned in July, I wanted it fixed. Visit 1: In June I brought it in for a tube replacement. I paid $24 for a new tube and labor. The staff, mostly younger employees, were joking around and not fully focused. I overheard one say they nearly blew the tire by leaving it hooked up to the electric pump too long. By the time I got home, the tire was flat again. Visit 2: I returned a few days later. They said the tire liner was the issue, so I paid another $24 for a new liner, another tube, and labor. Again, they nearly overinflated the tire -- one employee even joked, "That was a close one." Once again, the tire was flat when I got home. Visit 3: This time, they said the liner had shifted and exposed a spoke, which punctured the tube. I offered to just buy a new wheel, but they said it wasn't necessary and they could fix it. I left the bike overnight and told them I'd only pick it up if the tire held air. The next day, it didn't. They did more work, sanding spokes, and eventually got it to hold air. But when I picked it up, the wheel was no longer true and rubbed against the brakes -- and I still hadn't ridden the bike once since I got the full tune up in the fall. At this point, I was frustrated. I told them to just put on a new wheel -- but I wasn't paying full price since the damage clearly happened in their shop. I'd already spent over $200 and still didn't have a rideable bike. Visit 4: The day before my trip I paid $91 for a new wheel and labor and took the bike home. The next day, while loading it onto my car rack, I saw that now, the front tire was flat. So either they swapped the faulty rear tire to the front out of spite for me asking for a discount, or they made the same overinflation mistake again. I cannot trust this shop to do basic repairs. After spending over $300, the bike was never rideable and I had to borrow a bike for my trip. I'll be taking it elsewhere to fix the front tire. I'd strongly recommend finding a more professional, reliable bike shop.
