My friend's sister owns this electric bike shop and took me out around Gloucester for lunch and…read moresight seeing. Extremely reasonable rates (prices for electric bikes in other markets is much higher) and we had so much fun cruising around town on these. I'm not an experienced cyclist, so the electric bike was perfect for covering more mileage without the extra effort (though if you wanted a workout, you can just turn down/turn off the pedal assist). Easy to learn how to ride and made for a great afternoon!

My usual bike place on Rockport pier was closed (what bike shop closes on a Wednesdays and…read moreThursdays on a busy summer week?) but thank goodness because that led me to this gem. I'd ridden electric bikes (or e-bikes for short) on a trip to Tuscany last summer and wondered then why haven't these marvelous inventions made it to the States? The owner, Cathy, wondered the same thing and started this business. The bikes are in amazing condition and the ride could not be more comfortable. And if you want a workout keep the bike on 0 assist but when a steep hill approaches, set to 1 and give thehandle a twist for a gentle assist. You'll never go back to a conventional bike again. Highly recommended!

My son got a flat while riding in Salem and we were looking for a quick repair for a planned ride tomorrow. Not only did Bill immediately address our needs, he also found time to throw on some new peddles.

Bill, thanks for the great service and even better inspiration for my son. He's going to be studying for your test tonight! Fair pricing, clean shop and great support for our younger bike enthusiasts. You also have one of the best Beef shops across the street, it'll never be a chore to make the trip from Swampscott! Great shop Bill, we definitely be recommending your shop to our friends!

I couldn't recommend this place more highly. This is everything you look for in a local bike shop - staff who are helpful, approachable, look to work with bike owners and enable them to do basic maintenance at home, while remaining available for the maintenance and repairs at the shop!!!! This is an absolutely stellar shop. Very few of these are still left, unfortunately.

I had my eye on a bike for a week or so, before deciding to go ahead and order it online on Monday…read more. Said "in stock" and available for pick up in Danvers Tuesday morning or seabrook Wednesday morning. (Danvers was closed Monday). I chose to pick up in seabrook Wednesday since we are in NH and couldn't get down to Danvers Tuesday anyway. My confirmation email said "ships from western cycle" to seabrook location. My receipt was from the Danvers location. I got a call Tuesday at 5:30pm from seabrook saying that they didn't have the bike I ordered in stock at either location. I explained what my confirmation email said and the very sympathetic employee from seabrook said he would call Danvers so see if they had put the bike aside without his knowledge. Danvers was already closed for the day so he offered to call and get back to me in the morning. 10:15 Wednesday I get a call from the owner, with a big attitude, telling me that they don't have the bike. Zero sympathy or compassion for me, the customer. He claims it was in seabrook and must have sold right before I ordered but doesn't know when. I was obviously upset, having ordered Monday and only finding out two days later that they sold me a bike they didn't have. The owner acted annoyed that he even had to call me and said "I don't know what to tell ya". He offered to cancel the order or order the bike (which would come in 7-10 business days), but we are leaving on vacation and needed a bike sooner. He said "sorry" like he was forced to, and was just overall not nice to me. I would recommend Buchika or Philbrick's for your bike needs. Philbricks went above and beyond and legit built a bike for us same day (normally a 2-4 day turn around) so we'd have it for vacation.

I really like going in there an just chatting with them and other customers. Several months ago I was speaking with a gentleman that builds those "frankenbikes" (as I like to call them) that had to be over 10 feet high. He even asked me if I wanted to try it. That would have been fun but explaining to the emergency room doctor what happened would have been a story in and of itself. Whenever I am in Salem (a few times a year) I make sure to visit them. If you are into cycling Jerseys you have to get one from them. I have a few different ones from them and whenever I ride wearing one people are always asking me about the Witch on a Bicycle on the back of my Salem Cycle Jersey. Salem Cycle Jerseys are some of my favorite Jerseys.

While I was there people stopped by with their bikes for repairs from fixing flats to tuneups.

They are currently booked for 3 weeks! Clearly Marblehead/Salem Cycle are experts and well-loved by their clientele. They put me on a great new e-bike with little fuss and very reasonable timeframe. I knew what I wanted and they got it assembled it, and went over all the operational details with me. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks!
