I was curious about e-bikes, and Ossie the most excellent friendly mechanic I've dealt with, helped me with my decision with a test drive in the rolling hills of Maplewood! I had such an amazing ride, it re-sparked my passion for cycling, after that ride I bought in 2 of my bikes for work there and they are both riding fantastic, the work they do, helpful advice, friendly warm demeanor, all ushered in a new era of my cycling that I now have passed down to my son, we go on rides every other day, and his enthusiasm has created an even stronger bond. I am so grateful for these guys at Urban Cyclery, they are a real asset to the community.

The lady behind the counter looks at me like I have 3 heads in asking for such a thing. A guy then comes in and is reasonably helpful, asking what size it needs to be. I tell him it needs to be 200mm or 8" and he sells me (what I later see is) an 8.5" tube for $12. I could have gotten 2 correct-sized ones on Amazon for $10 total. I get that being a bike store they may not have what I needed for a scooter, but just say you don't have it instead of selling me the wrong thing for double the price. Probably would be alright for bike parts (hopefully) but this was an annoying experience

I got tired of tooling around with my Trek Alero, which I ride to the train every weekday, and took…read moreit to this spot to get my brakes looked at -- they were not quite braking the way I needed them to. The owner Danny and his warm-hearted technician Juan fixed the issue within an hour or so after I dropped off my rig -- Turns out my bike just needed new brake pads. A 4-pack of brake pads goes for around $10 pads, so that with 20 minutes of labor resulted in a $59 charge. My only criticism is Danny needs to make the pricing up front and visible (Honestly, I don't even know if prices are posted on the walls -- there are tools and decor all over the interior of the store). The "tune-up" buzz word is always a catch-all bill booster, but I just asked for my bike to brake. I can grease my chain myself. I'm glad to help out another local small business owner, and I would recommend their services in the area who is willing to invest a bit into a bicycle because these guys seem to know what they're doing.

Took almost a month to get it back (unfinished). I called & left a message inquiring the status of my bike. The mesaage I left was never returned. I called a second time, got the owner & he forgot about my bike. He promised me he would have it ready the next day. I asked for him to call me when it was ready & I would come by and pick it up. He never called. 72 hours passed & I heard nothing from MBS. Not having a choice, I went to the shop to see what was going on. I arrived at the shop at 10am to find the shop closed & numerous customers standing outside. Not something any customer should ever see. When owners inquired what I wanted, his answer was less than satisfactory. My bike still wasn't serviced yet. They had 4 weeks to do a simple tuneup, which takes no more than 1-2 hrs tops. I wasn't pleased so I asked for my bike back. He got my bike and said, "look I washed it." He wanted praise for washing the bike. It was insulting so I offered to pay for the water used to wash the bike. The worst cycling experience I ever had & I've broken bones cycling.

The staff is straight forward, giving advice and explaining why they sell particular units. They answer the telephone, a rarity today. They are friendly and warm and know an enormous amount of the products they sell and service.

In the end, it costs far less thank making a mistake by buying on line. I am telling everyone to go to Voltaire if you want a bike. They will take the time to fit you and insure you are comfortable with your choice. Do I give them a 5 star? Yes, but if I could give them a 10, I would. The Rev. Dale L. Cranston
