I had gotten a f-ing flat tire in Sheepshead Bay. Instead of enjoying my lovely ride from the salt marshes to Manhattan Beach, I ended up at Roy's. SO MANY MECHANICS WORKING AT ONCE!! I was so impressed that on a weekday they had like 10 mechanics and a range of them to. From young guys, to old school bike messengers, you could tell these guys were a plethora of knowledge. If you are in "Deep Brooklyn" I highly recommend this shop. read more

Went to purchase a bicycle. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. Was shown my options in my price range with a suggestion on which one to get (it wasn't even the most expensive one) and I purchased the bike. I was told I could pick it up the next day because they had to assemble it for me. When I went to pick it up, it was ready and I was in and out. Easy. Simple. Straightforward. Just the way I like all my shopping experiences to be. read more

Gerald in the repair shop Is the best bicycle mechanic you can find. He is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of cycling And he doesn't try to sell you anything that you do not want or need. read more

Roy's is easily one the best full service bike shop in the New York City metro area and that's saying something. I come all the way from south queens and wouldn't think of going anywhere else to service my bike. I always go to Keith, but they have a lot of capable mechanics, I purchased a specialized racing bike few years back from them along with the shoes and bike gear and got treated very well. If your looking to take biking more seriously this is your one stop shop for all your bicycle and bike racing needs. read more

Bought my first "official" road bike here. The show room will do a combination of knocking you off your feet, making you drool, and wanting to shove all your money at one of the chill salespeople behind the counter. If that's not enough, there's a Cannondale show room next door, with nicer bathrooms apparently. After you finish wiping away your drool, point at one of the shiny bikes you want to try. Bonus: they're really cool about letting you test ride the bikes. I got lucky, nabbing a Liv Avail at the season's end for a gr8 deal. You get a free pedals, bottle & cage, and fitting with every bike you buy. Boris helped me and my boyfriend a bunch and answered all of our questions with refreshing honesty. At the end of the day, they'll give you a number and they'll stick to that number. No extra fees, trickery, nothing. Can I say wow? Tip: Do some research on their website before visiting, as it's organized very neatly and will give you a good idea of what they're selling! Will return to shove more cash at them. read more

I had no idea what kind of bike I wanted to get when I walked in. Boris took care of me immediately and assisted me in finding the perfect bike. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. The staff at Roy's setup my bike in no time and I was able to ride it home. The prices and services offered are unbeatable. I just want to thank Boris for his above and beyond service and the friendly staff at Roy's. I love the bike and will be returning soon for all my bike needs. I highly recommend Boris and Roy's bike shop! read more

Roy's Sheepshead Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I purchased 3 bikes from this place! My first "real" bike was a hybrid. Brought in '01. Once I got into riding, I went back to get a road bike the following year. Alan (owner) made sure I was fitted correctly and patiently answered all my questions. Trained & rode my first century on that road bike. 2 years later, I decided I wanted an steal bike for a more comfortable ride. After I did my research & shopped around, I went back to them. They had the largest selection and the best prices. Brought my steel road bike in '05. My odometer reads just a tad over 3,000 miles on that bike right now. They are by far one of the best shop in the NYC area. They are very knowledgeable and carry a large selection of bikes. They have bikes anywhere from $300 to over $5,000 in their showroom. read more

Great Brooklyn bike shop. Thorough, professional, and great selection. Stand behind their products and more importantly fill your needs. No job too big, no job too small. Sales staff is knowledgeable. Service staff is second to none. read more

Roy's Sheepshead Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I usually come here for the repairs, because the bikes they sell are just way overpriced compared to what I can find online. Two of their repair guys can make you feel very uncomfortable. They jack prices up when they see that you don't know anything about it. Even when you do, it's difficult to argue against them. An example would be when I went to get my bike wheels trued. $12 per wheel, it took him 2 minutes each, and he didn't even take the wheel apart to use it on the truing stand. He just did it free hand and it was a bad job. When I showed him that the wheels were not true enough, he said it was fine. Well, if the wheel was just fine, then why am I overpaying you to true it in the first place... He should have used the truing stand and did it like any professional would. Then I came to get a bike assembled. It's usually $45-60, but when I came in it with the bike still sealed in the delivery box, it was $70 plus tax and pedals for $35 which came out to a total of ~$114. With that much money to get a bike assembled, I can almost buy another new bike. Another time, I came here for a back wheel misalignment. I was quoted $10, but ended up being charged $20 later because the bike mechanic claimed he did a lot of work and had to take a lot of things apart to get the wheel fixed. Of course, that was just less than 5 minutes of work and he didn't do a good job. A few days later, I had the same issue and I had to go back to get it fixed. The first mechanic who screwed up wasn't there anymore and another mechanic worked on it (Calvin). This time, it was done right and was $5. If you live nearby and have no other options for other bike shops, here's some advice for you: Calvin is usually the best person to go to. He does great work and doesn't jack up prices. If the mechanic is asking the cashier to confirm a specific price, something fishy is going on. Make sure you are the one to ask the cashier "how much it is to get this bike repaired" rather than "does it cost $70 to get this repaired?". Don't let the mechanic ask before you. If the price tag on a repair part is hand written, something fishy is going on. They just wrote it down and jacked up the price on you. Either way, with these outrageous prices, it might be a good idea to just invest in a bike repair course and learn how to do everything yourself. You'd save yourself the trip to the repair shop and save yourself a ton of money. read more

Best bike shop in New York, really friendly and helpful with good prices. I've bought two bikes in my life and both from Roy's. They really focus on quality and will work with whatever budget you have. The mechanic are also amazing, they are good at remembering faces and always up to teach you about your bike. read more

If you are looking for place that treats you like family and will give you what you are looking for, then this is it! If you need a road bike, you need to go to Roy's. Al the owner is such an amazing guy, he speaks bicycle language; he will take your measurements and will look for the best options for you and the most suitable frame. I got my Specialized Roubaix and I go there for service and to buy accessories. Gerald, the mechanic really take his times to tune your bike and will make it run like new again. read more

Best bike store in Brooklyn. They have best cannondale selection at very fair prices. They have awesome hear for any occasion as well. Boris is awesome. He helped me pick out 2 bikes and gear for all types of weather. Their mechanics and staff will not let you leave unless you are completely satisfied with your purchase. Thank you ROY's read more

Roy's Sheepshead Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

In late May or early June, I bought a cable bike lock at Roy's. Not 4 months later, the cable broke apart from the combo lock. And I hadn't been abusive at all to the item! I brought it in this morning, they looked at it and handed me another. They were so nice and professional about this. I guess they will ship it back to the manufacturer, but I was so pleased that they were ultra-polite and swift about this. I go to Roy's on occasion, to have my bike tuned up, and they are always very nice there. It can get busy but it's a congenial atmosphere here. read more

This is my local bicycle shop. I love how this place is down to earth. I bought my first bicycle here back in 2008. The bicycle wasn't cheap but it also wasn't expensive compared to other places. I can see why some people might think the owner is rude but he knows his stuff. If he can tell you're serious about a bicycle, he'll be serious too. I guess it's the vibe he gets. Nevertheless, he is knowledge, he knows his bicycles. The other people are also very nice. I can ask questions and they don't make me feel dumb for asking. Their tune up isn't bad either. $50 and leave it overnight. read more

Had such a great time experience there just now. They didn't want to charge me but they actually fixed what I needed. I'm back for our son's next bike and for all the tuneups. read more

Always love stopping by Roy's. Everyone is friendly and will answer any question I have.

As an amputee Roy's Bike shop gave me the attention I was looking for. They took their time to fit me with my Specialized S Work Tarmac bike. My cycling experience has never been so smooth and fast. Thanks to Boris, Keith, Allan and the bike mechanic Gerald! read more

See all

I shopped around for my cruiser, Alan quoted me the best price ($110 less than retail) from all the dealers that sold Phat Cycles cruisers. The price got me in the store, the service made me write this review. They have something for beginners to pro-cyclists, pretty large selection inside. On the spot they called to check stock in VA & the west coast to see if or when they could get it...I should have it by Thursday =) One of the guys even gave me directions to a new Sonic that opened up on the way to AC (check in for that review!) read more

Roy's Sheepshead Cycle - Entrance at the side. - Bikes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am glad to have Roy's so close to our new apt now that I have (re)started a new hobby with biking. This place is pretty big compared to most bike shops I have been to in NYC and they are pretty knowledgeable (but I do have a some issues to straighten out.) As far as the service/repair department goes, these guys are pretty good and very sociable which is always a good thing and you can pretty much ask them about any bike questions without getting any attitude (usually they will crack a joke). So far my only issue was one of the guys installed my back wheel and after riding I noticed that he didn't install it straight (just a smidge to the right). Other than that everytime I came in everyone was in a good mood and it does keep you entertained while waiting for your turn after a while. For the people in the retail department it hasn't been all good times with my experience. I was looking for a chain whip / lockring tool and the guy I asked kept on saying to ask the service guys the model number because he doesn't know what to get or show me unless I knew the model number. So I go the service area and take pics of the tools I wanted and because I didn't ask or write down the model number of the tool he asked me again to ask the service guys. I mean come on!!! I'm basically doing your job here! If i went to a hardware store for a wrench and the guy that works there tells me that he can't show me wrenches because I have to give him "model numbers" why would I want to shop there? All I'm saying here is why can't you just show me the different brands/models of chain whips/ lockring tools you have? Please feel free to criticize me on this if you think im wrong. To sum things out, I like this place... I really do but I don't know if I can go to the retail store again to buy something and the first words out of the person is "I need you to give me a model number" if I am basically asking "What different kinds (brands/models) do have of this item?". read more

My whole family bought bikes here. Great service, knowledgeable staff, excellent bikes for all budgets;) Thanks Roy's Greg F read more

Definitely a 5 star experience.. I know this shops been here forever but I walked in for the 1st time in my life 3 days ago.. I had one thing on my mind and that was to purchase A new bike. Only thing is I didn't know where to start or how much I was willing to spend.. I mean it's been a long time since I owned a bike so I knew I was in for some learning.. My man Keith is a man with patients I tell you. He had me test ride 4 bikes so I can get an idea on the direction I wanted to go.. He asked me questions like "am I looking for speed or comfort" he answered all my questions as I asked them. So fast forward.. I'm back from my 4th test ride and still a little undecided, Keith comes rolling out a 5th bike... Cannondale F29 Lefty.. Oh my god was I blown away with the beauty of this bike.. I took it out for a quick spin and loved it but when I asked how much I died.. Even on sale it was pretty pricey so I was back to square 1.. Told Keith let me think about it and come back.. No problem he said.. I went home and couldn't get this bike of my mind.. Hours went by and still Cannondale popping up everywhere lol.. Ok I called the shop and told Keith I'm stopping by to purchase the bike.. I go back the next day and brand new built and ready to go is my baby.. Still couldn't pulled the plug right away.. Price tag... My 12yr old was with me and said daddy I want a bike to so here comes Keith with the help again.. She tries out a bike Keith picked out and she loved it.. Now not only is my bike pricey but my daughters bike is pricey as well.. Died again.. I asked Keith how long for her bike to be built.. One hour he said. I say ok I'll be back.. I leave and go home and again here comes cannondale popping up in my head.. A couple of hours go by and back to the shop I go.. Keith sees me and ask so are you ready for your new ride and absolutely I replied.. So happy I stopped by here to shop.. This place is all about customer service and making sure you the customer is satisfied. Highly recommended!!! read more

Roy's Sheepshead Cycle - After about 20 years since my last bike purchase I was helped dearly in choosing My new ride.. - Bikes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been to Roy's twice now. Once for some standard bike gear last summer and another time for a tune-up. Incredible pricing matched with fun & experienced bike techs makes me certain I've found my go-to spot for bike repairs. Very friendly dudes just doing what they do... fixing up bikes. They guarantee their work and they don't rip you off... it's really a no brainer: if your bike needs a repair this is the place you need to bring it. Tube replaced, wheels balanced, general tune-up done, & reflectors installed...all for far less than places in Bay Ridge and Park Slope. I'm certainly not gonna complain. read more

Wonderful bike shop with very helpful and nice employees! The guys at Roy's were super accommodating to me when I was picking out a bike. I was a very annoying customer who couldn't make up my mind lol. Like so many others, I bought a bike during the Covid 19 pandemic and at first I bought a hybrid that I loved. A few weeks passed and I convinced myself I wanted a road bike, so I swapped out my hybrid for a road bike but was not prepared for such an aggressive riding position and the toll it took on my neck and back. I guess what a truly wanted was a lightweight bike with flat bars. The guys at Roy's swapped out my drop bars for me and my Specialized Dolce Sport is now almost exactly like the hybrid I had. I felt so bad for annoying them and coming back so many times but the guys at Roy's were so nice and helpful and I couldn't say enough nice things about this place. Sorry for being such a pain in the neck! Special thanks to Borris and Egor (sorry if i spelt that wrong!), you guys rock! read more

Been 2 times, the service is extremely friendly. Everytime i am in, they fix exactly what needs to be fixed and for an extremely fair price! Other shops in Brooklyn have tried to tell me a million other things were wrong with my bike and tried to get me to spend more money in the longrun. At Roy's I always feel like I am treated fairly. Definitely bring your bikes here! read more

Super helpful and friendly staff. Great prices. Just picked up a new Cannondale for my daughter and they took the time to answer all of our questions about the bicycles in her size category and let her test it out on the street plus sized her for a proper helmet! We'll be back soon for bikes for Mommy & Baby! read more

Went here recently as I was searching for a bike for my daughter. The process was pretty straight forward and given her height and age were directed to a couple of bikes by Keith. Overall worked perfect for her and she's now an official bicyclist: ). Will go back to get my wife & I a bike. read more

This facility is really, really impressive. You can't find any better prices, services and accommodations. You can't go home empty handed for your bike needs. Visit this place and you won't believe what they have to offer. Just look for Boris and Gerald. They cover everything you need to know and more. read more

Excellent customer service! They do everything here including layaway!! That came in handy after Hurricane Sandy and the damage done to my bikes, and also having to replace my Thule 4 bike swing out rack for my truck. That helped me a lot. I recommend everyone to go there for their biking needs. read more

This is my second bike purchased from Roys. The 1st was a basic cruiser that got destroyed by hurricane sandy. This a more advanced hybrid with a ton of bells and whistles . Roy's did a great job both times providing knowledge and experience to this novice. After a day of riding my new bike I realized that the gears were a little to tall for my liking roys changed the gear set out in 15 minutes retuned it and I was on my way no charge no problem , this was on a damp Saturday morning at opening . Even at that by 1030 the place was rocking so im glad I got there early . Note if your going to this busy busy shop and need tons of advice and help like I do , always do go off hours if possible They get swamped on weekends. I don't have any experience with other shops but this one does such a good job for me I have no need to look else where good staff ,knowledgeable and courteous fast reliable service great selection of almost everything from parts to bikes to apparel Im a fan read more

Defiantly the best bike shop around. I got my bike there yesterday and don't regret it one bit. My bike originally costed $520 but after talking to the worker there he let it go for $480 because that is all I had on me. I defiantly appreciated them doing that. I also got a chain for $40 today which is like impossible to break through. I also had a problem where the tire deflated for some reason and they fixed it for free without a problem. The workers understood the situation and were glad to help. He showed me that something sharp and metal penetrated the tire. It only took the employee around 2-3 minutes to fix the problem and I kept on riding. Highly recommend checking this place out with summer around the corner :) read more

Great bike shop! As soon as you walk in there's a group of guys ready to help you. My recent visit I was on the hunt for a quality yet affordable hybrid to tackle the brooklyn and city streets. Boris got straight to it and gave me a couple of great recommendations. He made my visit short and sweet. Left with a specialized vita and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've already taken it out on the roads twice and it's been a smooth ride. I'll be back in a few weeks for my free adjustment! :) read more

Went in to purchase a new 650b mountain bike. My salesperson, Keith, was very knowledgable and helpful. Talked to me about different makes/models and showed me a Cannondale Trigger 4 ($2899). I wasn't crazy about the specs and he suggested the Trigger 3 ($3790) which was equipped with the components I desired (bike had to be special ordered as it was a 2015 model). He offered to sell it at a deep discount and I counter offered. He accepted my offer. Money talks and they are willing to deal. When I picked it up, Gerard (shop mechanic) fit the bike for me. Overall a pleasurable experience and I'll do business with them again. read more

Boris is the best, period! Professional, great communication throughout the buying process and very fair pricing. I had many questions and Boris took the time to go through every aspect in great detail helping me make the right choice. read more

They really made the buying process simple and easy. I did a trade-in with my bike using Pro's Closet and Roy's made the process incredibly simple. They had the bike I wanted, they put it together for me, and sent me on my way. Free water bottle with the purchase of a bike is just a minor perk, but a nice touch. Great customer service, tons of inventory, and they really aren't pushy. They're happy to give you their opinion, but they won't force anything on you. read more

Roy's has a great team and knowledgeable staff members! Go to Boris or anyone else there and they can find the right bike at the best prices!
