My wife and I have had the best experience with Pete and his team at The Broken Spoke. Where many bike shops feel daunting or non-inclusive, The Broken Spoke demolishes that barrier. As someone who used to cycle avidly, gave it up, and came back after a decade, I can attest to the massive benefit of TBS and Pete's approach to cycling. For novices, everyone here creates a welcoming environment with no aggressive upselling or scoffing. Every question is thoughtfully answered and they take their time. They've built up an incredible community and every time we stop by we see regulars. Group rides on Thursdays (looking forward to those!) also help with community building. I can't stress enough how lucky we are to have Pete and his team in our town. read more

Knowledgeable with good selection. No pressure. Great location. Excellent E-bike rentals.

Perfectly located at a busy corner next to a great bar. Very high quality rental e-bikes! Quick and easy rental, reasonably priced.

What a great shop! My friend and I just rented two e-bikes to ride the first segment of the Olympic Discovery trail. The people working there couldn't have been nicer, the bikes were top of the line and worked perfect. We rode 43 miles and had a wonderful time. read more

The Broken Spoke is a fantastic bike shop. I have been doing business with them for several years and they constantly exceed expectations. Pete and team are very knowledgeable and are solutions oriented. They treat traveling customers with kindness, knowing a mechanical problem can ruin a vacation. Quality of work is excellent, work is timely and costs are fair. Port Townsend is lucky to have this shop! read more

What a nice shop. We are on vacation and my mountain bike chain broke. Brought it in and the gal very quickly and nicely put on a new chain and made a few other quick inexpensive adjustments. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Very highly recommend this shop! read more

Went in to have a tire fixed, and they instead showed me how simple it was to do myself, sold me what I needed to do it, and saved me $10...plus all the savings in the future! That is what I call good old fashioned service!! read more

A town with 9,000 inhabitants and four bike shops?!? Yup. That would be PT. The first one a casual visitor is likely to encounter is The Broken Spoke on Water Street, because it's so visible. The shop seems to derive much of its traffic from e-bike rentals. But I've been experiencing some pretty severe hand numbness issues while riding, and the staff has been extremely patient and helpful. I'm now waiting on a backordered set of Jones h'bars, with high hopes of retaining the feeling in my hands. Not being able to feel brake levers is a little hair-raising. Well stocked and well informed staff. The internet has dealt a severe blow to bike shops everywhere. Support your LBS! read more

"How much Pot have you Smoked Today?" That was the question I should've asked Elton Bong and Emily Blunt before dropping off my E-Bike for repair. Not only did they reneg on their promise to fix, they lost my ticket, threw my bike in the back room and proceeded to COMPLETELY BLOW ME OFF for WEEKS without a phone call, explanation or second thought. Shame on you, Broken Toke. read more

First off - who does not love a Bike Shop??? This is an great addition to the Port Townsend scene. The caring staff helps with their premier bicycle Rental, Retail, and service. The multitude of services that is offered made me feel as if I was at my local shop back home. thanks guys for making my bike experience a Class-A time ;) read more

I bought my new e-bike from Broken Spoke and had a number of accessories installed. The folks I dealt with were friendly, knowledgeable and did quality work. I love being able to support my local businesses! I highly recommend them to anyone :-) read more

Dan and everyone in this place treated me with courtesy. More importantly, with knowledge and a curiosity about my riding habits and abilities, to better serve my needs. In an age where locally owned and operated stores are becoming more rare, it is a pleasure to be able to rent (hope to purchase soon) from people who care about their community and know what they're talking about. read more

Never in my many, many moons have I had the astonishing good pleasure to have bicycle problems remedied within a single hour! The assurances of youthful whipper-snappers manning The Broken Spoke of a "walk in" policy was entirely true; flat tire and floppy shifter cables were repaired and adjusted, respectively, in under an hour, and for a very reasonable fee. Whoever developed The Broken Spoke's customer service policies and procedures ought to offer consulting services to the many slo-mo shops floundering in Anytown, USA. Impressed, MD read more

Brought in my Bulls eMTB for a new cassette and tune-up. They did a great job and took the extra time to answer my questions in detail. I learned quite a bit of things that were not in the owners manual about my bike. Highly recommend these guys to anyone wanting quality bike repair and advice. Shout out to both Pete and Mark for helping me out. read more

Huge shout-out to the wonderful young woman who fixed my broken Townie this afternoon! Got me back on the trail and they were all professional and friendly! read more

On our recent vacation to Sequim, WA, someone backed into one of our bikes (a Specialized Diverge) and ruined the front wheel. We were sure our cycling vacation was over. Luckily, we were taken to the Broken Spoke where Pete took the bike in immediately, replaced the wheel, and looked the bike over carefully to make sure there was no other damage. He was kind and competent, and literally saved the day! This is a wonderful shop with a great group of mechanics and really nice accessories and clothes. read more

What a class act bunch of guys. Took my Trek mountain bike for repairs and they took my bike right away (on Labor Day no less) and discovered the bike was assembled incorrectly. Great work at a reasonable price, and fast service....thanks read more

I needed to rent a Mt bike for a next day all day ride in the Olympics. The very friendly staff at TBS were great- sized a bike adjusted the shocks and we were out the door. The bike was practically new, a full suspension gem that handled flawlessly on pavement, logging road and trail. After a wicked hard day of riding we got the bike back to the shop a couple of hours late - no problem! Also none of the rental helmets fit so they pulled a new one off the shelf. Great service, great bike, great price. Renting a bike for a day was cheaper than shipping my own from Boston. TBS is THE place to rent a bike in PT. read more

THE GOOD NEWS 1. The two guys in the shop were very nice. 2. They completed my repair in a timely manner. 3. It appears they did a good job. THE BAD BEWS When I came back to pick up my two bikes, the technician charged me $90 to clean and lube two chains. $90. That seems really, really excessive. MY MISTAKE I assumed their charge for cleaning and lubricating two chains would be significantly less. I didn't ask up front. That was my mistake As I left their store, I wasn't angry, but I was disappointed -- in them, and in myself. read more

Pete is a master at figuring out bike problems and fixing them and is great. The only complaint I have is they aren't friendly to walk ins who need something and happen to be on their bike. Sorry, I can't wait around two hours for a bike rack to be installed on my bike. They lost a sale today consisting of a nice rack and saddle bag which would have totaled over $200 because they said it could take two hours to install. Ridiculous. Some of the employees aren't great with mechanics, but they are all very nice, just not supportive of those who come in on their bikes and need help. Which go counter to the culture they are part of and should embrace, but I guess those who drive their cars to the bike store with their electric bikes are more important than me. Too bad because I am doing more for climate change than those who are using our precious resources to fuel their exercise. I question their priorities. read more

Went in to get my toddler a bottle, as he likes my big bottles for my bike. When we went in, he saw the little yellow Strider on the stand in the window and I took it down for him to ride. I met the clerk working and we talked about how great it is for there to be a "bike" for younger kids to start with. I asked how much they were and he replied $98 to which I replied "You got one in red?" They did and w/o hesitation said "ring it up". You can't beat the look on my 21 month old sons face when he strolled out of the shop on his new bike. The shop is always full of nice employees who are knowledgeable and I love being able to get my sons first bike from an LBS- so this is win/win all the way around! read more

I was on a bike tour to circle the Olympic Peninsula when my pedal fell off due to a stripped out crank arm. Pete at The Broken Spoke took me in 10 minutes before he opened, had a heli-coil to insert into the old crank arm. He then proceeded to straighten my disc rotors, tighten my hubs, and adjust my derailleurs. He did it all while talking kindly to a worried bike tourist. Quick service and a reasonable price. Best shop ever! read more

I was really looking forward to the women's 6:00 ride on Monday night. I called at ten minutes until six o'clock and they had already left. I was quite disappointed. Why post a time, if you don't honor it? I haven't had this problem with other organized rides in PT.Guess I'll keep riding with the guys. Boo! read more

On a multi-day bike trip, we broke a spoke on the rear wheel of our tandem. Our tour would have been over, if Broken Spoke (how apt) hadn't done such a stellar job. They noticed that the entire drive-side of the wheel was wrongly laced and more spokes would have broken. They re-laced the wheel and replaced worn parts - all within an hour while we had lunch in Port Townsend, and in time for us to catch the ferry and make it to our destination. At an extremely reasonable price too. These guys care about cyclists, not just about making a buck. Support them! read more

Really a great place. Even though they sell a lot of high and bicycles the guys took the time to fix my sons bike. The work was done right in front of me and was reasonably priced. And everyone was nice and courteous. Thanks guys! read more
