I brought my bike in to Greenbrier Bikes today after a day on Marlin Mountain and Thorny Creek…read moreMountain, primarily to fix a problematic flat. They did that, but also fixed everything else on my bike within about 30 minutes. That squeaking that wasn't fixed by cleaning and relubricating the chain? They figured out that the pulleys needed lubricated, and two minutes later the squeaking was gone. The back light that loves to fall off? Now it's securely mounted. The one old tube that's salvageable? Now it's patched and I have a better patch kit than I did before. The rear brake bracket that I hadn't even realized was loose, but definitely was? Not loose anymore. I probably would have had to drop my bike off and pick it up a few days later if I'd scheduled an appointment back home, but at Greenbrier Bikes I got it back up to an A level quick enough that I was still able to see not only the Green Bank Telescope, but also do a 4.5-mile-each-way jaunt up Bald Knob with the bike to test out the fixes and catch a fantastic view. On that not-especially-easy test, it did just fine. Overall it cost something like $46, which is a bargain compared to the city bike shops. While they do offer tune-up packages (also at quite reasonable rates), I really liked that they will also take a, "what needs done? we'll fix it" approach. And they don't try to sell you things you don't need, either. That chain with 1700 miles on it? They checked, still good. The air pump that I haven't been impressed with? They could've sold me a new one, but instead showed me a setting I didn't know it had that should make it more effective. They're community-oriented too. On Thursday they were down in Stillwell for a community event, and the guy who fixed my bike is the same guy who clears the fallen trees from the mountain trails I'd traveled the day before. So if you're passing through Marlinton on the Greenbrier River Town, or are in town for any other reason with your bike, swing on by and have them take a look at whatever issues it has that have been bothering you. If it can be fixed quickly, you'll probably be back on the trail sooner than you thought possible, and you'll be helping a bike shop right by the trail as well.

I stumbled upon this shop just after arriving in Galax on the New River Trail. Hungry, new to…read moretown, and in the market for a backup tire tube, I found New River Trail Outfitters before finding the restaurant I was looking for. Not realizing that it had only been open a week or two, I moseyed on in. It turns out, they didn't have the right tube for my bike - they do have some gear, and a bike repair shop, to complement their rental bikes, but are still in the process of stocking parts for repairing pretty much any bike that might be brought in. My bike isn't very similar to their rental bikes, so I wasn't able to buy one here. But what really stood out is that even though they weren't able to provide a sale, the husband-wife team running the place were generous with local knowledge, outwardly friendly, and didn't try to push other products on me. They not only were able to direct me to the restaurant I hadn't yet found, but gave me some fantastic recommendations on what to order. And as we talked about how I wound up in Galax, it became clear that they're not just enthusiastic about bicycling, but people-people as well. This stands out because about the best I ever expect with a bike shop is service-friendly, and it's not rare to find a dismissive tone (of the "I know more than you" type) at bike shops. Here, it didn't matter what bike I was riding or that I was probably only going to spend about $10 even if they'd had what I was looking for in stock. If they were local, and they did a good job fixing things in service, this is where I'd take my bike. They have that straight-shooter car mechanic vibe, where they'll tell you if you need something but not try to oversell you - *and* they're people I'd like to hang out with outside of a business context. It is a little bit off the trail, and you have to use caution when crossing US-58. It's worth visiting Galax regardless, though, and if you need something from a shop or want to rent instead of bringing your own bike, I'd stop here.
