I have been in search of a new triathlon shop ever since Bonzai closed a few years ago and I am happy to announce that I have found my new go-to place. I have been out of the triathlon world for about a decade but I have slowly been making my way back into the scene. Looking at my old equipment I decided that it was time to upgrade my triathlon shoes. I went to Transition Tri looking for the new Shimano TR-901 - and they had them (which was impressive because everyone else was sold out). Steve easily took 90 mins helping me try on a few different tri shoes, a few helmets and a few other things. Steve also gave me the low down on what has been happening in the tri world over the last 10 year - over those 90 mins - he reminded me why I fell in love with triathlons ten years ago. To anyone looking to upgrade / update their triathlon equipment - there is no better place in the DMV. Steve is fantastic, his inventory is diverse (across sizes, brands and price points). I can't wait to go back. read more

Great selection of bikes and running gear. We stopped by today to tune up my budget road bike. They service any bike brand but sell higher end models. I have to say it rides like brand new now and only took about 15-20 minutes. If you need triathlon, running or biking gear, give this place a try. They are super nice and located right off the W&OD trail in Leesburg. read more

I had a most excellent experience at this shop today. Just as I was getting ready to jump on the W&OD, I discovered I had a broken spoke. When i walked in the shop, Andrew greeted me and had my ride racked and repaired in no time. I spoke to Bill & Andrew about their service levels and they convinced me their shop is the place to bring my ride for future tune ups. Will do and thanks for making my ride to the 'burg a great experience today. read more

Love this place! I'm not a tri guy but this shop is great if you are looking for a friendly bike shop. Staff is super friendly and very willing to answer questions. I first came here to get some help with my friends wahoo kicker. There was some damage from shipping and they contacted wahoo and got a replacement. Really appreciate that they reached out to the manufacturer and took care of it. Bill the mechanic gave me a quick class on my first set of tubular wheels and how to tape them up. I was able to get in the same day for some simple maintenance ( new handlebar tape, new rotors on my wheel set and a new cassette ). Needless to say I have found a place to take care all my cycling needs and look forward to seeing them again soon. read more

Steve and his wife are awesome! I always love to support local businesses, but it makes a huge difference when they also truly care about the customer and their needs. I already knew going into the purchase what I wanted, but Steve made sure to it the bike perfectly to my build. He was very friendly, gregarious, and knowledgeable. Conveniently located in downtown Leesburg-whether you're stopping off the trail or driving by, go support these guys! read more

Transition Triathlon - Cervelo P-Series Di2 - Bikes Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

This is a well-staffed shop with a focus on Triathletes, although runners and swimmers can benefit from coming here to see what is available. From suits, to jerseys, general cycling equipment, bikes, goggles, running shoes, smart trainers, bike repair, and bike fitting, they have something for each of the three disciplines. Of most importance, of all the times I've been there, and the opportunities they've had to upsell me when I've made purchases, they have never done so. Their bicycle mechanics are skilled and fix things correctly the first time, and everyone I've encountered has been knowledgeable and polite. read more

Amazing service and fantastic collection of tri-bikes and road bikes. The entire staff was so helpful in finding the perfect bike for me and had no problem answering questions. Best bike store I have been in! read more

Im new to Triathlon and came to the shop with many questions. They took the time to give me lots of suggestions and were very patient in explaining novice things. Was definitely worth the 2 hour drive roundtrip from DC. Will be back to rent a wetsuit. read more

I stopped in yesterday just to see what Transition Tri had in inventory as I was browsing for a Tri bike to get back in to the sport, Steve (the owner) took the time to chat, get to know where I was, what I was looking for and thinking about. they had one of my top potential bikes available, Steve took a couple hours out with me to adjust, fit, discuss and really see if it was going to work. Left with the bike! kitted out with the pedals, accessories etc I have been used to when racing. they had it all there and available. Great engagement from the staff, good inventory mix. The store has the full fit capability, now I have the bike, I'll take a few weeks riding and go back for the free full fit, they also provide a follow on 2 year mechanical adjustment service. Highly recommend Transition Tri!! read more

I can't not say enough good things about Transition Triathlon. If you are a triathlete/multi-sport athlete in the DC/nova area it is well worth the drive to beautiful Leesburg. I've been searching for and putting off getting a tri bike for a while now... And sadly it's mostly because every bike shop experience I've ever had has been somewhere between not great and just miserable. I often feel like triathletes are treated as second rate when they walk into a bike store that doesn't specialize in catering to triathletes (or just people who aren't in the true "cyclist" category) Anyway after reading the other awesome Yelp reviews I made the drive from DC, and it was worth every minute. Steve and Alex are awesome and quite obviously have a love for everything triathlon. They patiently worked with me for hours, letting me test bikes, making sure everything was fit correctly and so on all while sharing great insight and just in general being awesome to work with. As people came in and out during the day (I was there a while!) they were more then welcoming to anyone stopping in and yet they had a ton of customers that they have built relationships with. This is the kind of store I've been searching for for years. I walked away happily with a Cervelo and I'll be back out that way often to go ride and stop into TT! read more

Transition Triathlon - Bikes Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Outstanding customer service here. Started coming here after my credit card was skimmed and used to make a fraudulent purchase by a store employee at Spokes, Etc. at the Villages of Leesburg. I don't know the man's name that helped me here but he was extremely courteous and professional. This is my bike store from now on and I know don't have to worry about my credit card being skimmed here. Update 7/21/18: I took my bike in to be worked on and the mechanic, Bill, was excellent and very efficient. He got my bike finished before I expected it to be and called me and told me what was involved as it was an unusual issue; but he did some research, called Shimano and solved the problem. read more

This place is great. Ive been there many times for triathlon gear. Recently went to get bike repair work. Highly recommend for bike repair they got my bike fixed super quickly and did a great job! Really friendly folks, too. read more

Yes, the reviews are true. 5 stars!! Seriously what a great store. They are a little far for me, but I think worth the trip once in a while when you're in need of some tri gear. I originally found out about them when I went for their introduction to tri session (freeeee!!!!) and I learned so much. They also have a bike repair class that I really should go to. read more

As triathlons began gaining popularity, I was wondering as to when Leesburg would get a store and tri club. Sure enough...Transition Triathlon popped up and it couldn't be better. They offer great advice on all the products they sell and even some that they don't. They're well-versed in the bike industry and are happy to share their knowledge. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a bike, gps watch, running shoes, etc. A great place for all swimming, biking and running needs. read more

I found the best place that fits both my needs and my shopping style. This place is the best! As you may know from my previous reviews, customer service matters above all else. I like people that make you feel welcome (without being overbearing!), and are knowledgeable about running, biking, and swimming individually, or in the sense of a triathlon. The folks at TT hit all the marks and have a neighborhood type environment going on as well. You can tell by all the folks coming in off the nearby trail and the use of first names. They know their customers. The folks at TT have professionally assisted me in finding the right gear for the right event, have significantly impacted my thoughts on nutrition, have provided training on Newton running, and bicycle maintenance training. They are really well rounded. If you're in to Running, Biking and Swimming, I highly recommend you hit this shop. You won't be disappointed! read more

Transition Triathlon occupies the space of the former Gallery 222 on South King St. The transformation inside, from a rabbit's warren of artists' nooks and crannies to an open and inviting retail space with a huge training room is pretty incredible. What's also incredible are how immediately friendly, helpful, and supremely knowledgable the proprietors are. In a few short minutes, we had gone through several running shoe varieties, discussed what was suitable for specific running styles, looked over a few bike frames, were given a tour of the workout room, got to meet "Critter", and were on our way with some great purchases and and a smile. This is how shopping in a small town is supposed to be and these guys really know their business. If you run, bike, or swim (or all three) anywhere in Loudoun Co., you should give them a look. read more

Situated in Old Town Leesburg, this place is off the main road. They have a fairly large triathlon selection as well as yoga apparel. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. With the Internet, it's easy to compare similar brands that they have in-store and see the extreme cost difference; it's so hard for specialty athletic stores to do well these days. There's not many triathlon-specific stores, so if your in the area and looking to physically see products, this is the place to go. read more

Stopped in the store for some shoes. Nice little shop. Very friendly employees. They only carry Newton running shoes so they dont have a selection of brands if that is what youre looking for but Newtons are great shoes. Nice store. read more

I was assisted by Steve, the owner, at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. I was immediately greeted with a smile and had my flat repaired and a tire removal lesson within 5 minutes of walking in the door. He then made some great recommendations for accessories with no pressure to buy. I will continue to come here in the future! Thanks Steve! read more

I have been a customer at at least six other bike shops in the DC-area: Transition Triathlon is the best. I dropped my bike off today for a shimmy in the head tube (which I probably caused), and had a nice sit-down with Bill, the mechanic. By the time I left, he already had it apart and was working the fixes: what a pro. In my experience, you just don't get personalized service like this anywhere. Last summer, a competitor bike shop refused to work on my bike, because of a perceived crack in the frame. When I went to discuss it with them, the three mechanics on duty blew me off and proceed to talk about lunch plans until I was forced to interrupt them. I decided right then to find another Felt dealer and get a second opinion. Steve and his team at Transition Tri confirmed that the frame could be cracked, but then worked with Felt to get an brand-new frame under warranty--free of charge. Essentially, I have a brand-new 2019 aero-bike now. I cannot express how refreshing it is to frequent a bike shop where the client comes first. I have relied on bike shops for maintenance and sales for years--always with immediate or eventual disappointment--it's a hard thing to get right in the performance cycling industry and culture, I think. They have built a very virtuous enterprise in Transition Tri. I'm sure being a locally owned shop isn't always easy, but I much I appreciate what they are doing. I have always dreaded going to the bike shop, now I don't. Today, the staff even invited my dog, Clarence, in for a bit for water an a belly rub. Awesome. read more

Drove an hour to get here to get help with bike assembly for a frame set I purchased for my wife. Horrible service. I was directed to speak to the guy named Bill in service. He was so preoccupied with the bike he was working on and said he'd take my contact info and would send me something via email. Basically, telling me he had stuff to do and would get back to me if he had time. He never sent me anything. Wasted trip that ended up helping me because I know now I would not go back here and would suggest to anyone to look someplace else close by. Possibly Contes or Spokes where the people are actually helpful. read more

Excellent service and reasonable prices. This is my first foray into the Triathlons and Steve could not have been more helpful. I went in looking for a tri-bike and had a price in mind and Steve was able to nail it. He called and ordered the bike I wanted and about a week later their mechanic had it assembled. I came in and met with Steve for about an hour and half for the fitting. He was very thorough in fitting the bike to me and my body mechanics. He took some time to fix a few items on my bike (cables, derailleur, etc). We went through numerous saddles and adjustments. Steve took his time to make sure everything was just right. Also, he has took time to answer all my questions, discuss different races and training methods. Transition Triathlon has earned a loyal customer. It is my go to triathlon store and I make sure to stop by every time I'm in that neck of the W&OD Trail! read more

My nephews from Chicago, Detroit, and Baltimore was riding the WO&D Trail. We saw the bike shop and was in dire need of having our detailers adjusted. We just popped in to the bike shop and they were more than willing to help us. The customer service was fantastic; the staff was friendly, the store was clean and well stocked. I will definitely is it the shop again. I also plan to make an appointment to go back to have my bike fit it. Two thumbs up four fingers out for a big hand clap for the shop. read more

I stopped off to look at the place. I walked in and there were a couple of bike models to my immediate left so I paused to look at them. A guy walks up and asks can I help you, and being in there 30 seconds I said thanks I'm browsing. He looks at me and says "Oh, you're just in here for the shade and air conditioning." I kid you not. I'll never step foot in that place again. read more

I always have amazing service at this shop. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also have had a good amount of inventory accessories and bikes during covid. Bikes have been incredibly hard to find this year, along with gear. Every time I visit they have what I need. read more

I had always heard good things about them, but I was hesitant to go all the way out to Leesburg. I am so glad that I made the 30+ mile trek out to them! Steve was incredibly helpful, professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I knew so little about bikes and he taught me so much with out talking down to me. I can't recommend them more highly. Especially since they are a local "mom and pop" shop. The shop is owned and operated by a husband and wife, they are so passionate and knowledgeable about Tri, and they really really love their customers. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

This is review is exclusively for TT's bicycle repair service. Took my daughter's bicycle in to fix a broken brake caliper. Was told it would cost $165. The bicycle is new on-line for $150. I walked out shaking my head. Drove one mile to Plum Grove Recyclery and had the bike fixed for $40. You be the judge. read more

Transition Triathlon is THE place to go for all of your swim, bike, and run needs! The owners, Alex and Steve, are passionate about the sport of triathlon. The reasons to shop there are: 1) they have everything you need for run, bike, and swim; 2) they really know their products and can make personalized recommendations based on your size, experience, budget, etc...; 3) their prices are competitive; and 4) they are super nice and helpful. Be sure to check out their free clinics on intro to Triathlon and bike maintenance every month. They are located just off the W&OD bike trail in Old Town Leesburg - a great location! I just completed my first triathlon and they were a tremendous help in providing tips and making gear recommendations. I love the convenience of one-stop shopping for my Tri needs combined with great customer service! read more

After a buddy told me about an experience he had a few weeks ago with his rear derailleur cable breaking during a Saturday group ride; I had to check them out. Not to mentioned they are an authorized Cervelo dealer (bonus!) since I was in search for my first road bike and they happen to have the exact model I was looking for. Long story short - I am a proud new owner of a Cervelo bike! My shopping experience was extremely exceptional and painless! Yes it is a little out of my way coming from Reston but you can't beat customer satisfaction. Thank you Alex and of course Joshua for the welcoming treatment received at your store! Now on to racking up some road miles! read more

Excellent service and reasonable prices. I went to have a tri-bike fitting with Steve. With my work schedule I could only come in on a weekend, Transition Triathlon was the only shop in NoVA that would do a fitting on Sunday. They also had the best price in the area for a fitting. I spoke with both Steve and Alex prior to coming in, they were inviting and accommodating in every way. Taking time to address my concerns and needs, and fitting into my schedule. A much better experience than the other shops I called who tried to fit me into their limited schedules. I met with Steve for about an hour and half for the fitting. He was very thorough in fitting the bike to me and my body mechanics. He took some time to fix a few items on my bike (cables and housings, derailleur, etc). We went through numerous saddles and adjustments. Steve took his time to make sure everything was just right. Even with this work and a new tire, I came out spending less than I would at any of the competing bike shops on just the fit. Transition Triathlon may be a bit further for me than most of the bike shops in NoVA, but they have earned a loyal customer in me. I'll be sure to stop by every time I'm in that neck of the W&OD Trail! Thanks Steve and Alex! read more

Great personalized service. I got a lot of help and good information on my new running shoes. I am a beginner, so it was reassuring to have someone help me understand what I was getting. Great service and good products. read more

Although we were not in the market for triathlon equipment, while attempting to map out our final leg of our C and O trail journey, we stopped in to get info on the nearby bike trail. Steve was so helpful and spent time helping us map out our way to Fairfax. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Thank you Steve!! read more

This place is fantastic. Didn't even know it was here. Can be hard to spot by car, but luckily it's right off the W&OD. I don't have to go all the way out to Trail's End in Purcellville anymore :P Great folks, they've come out to eat at Market Burger where I work across the street from Catoctin Creek Distillery. Stop in and see what's going on, they're very friendly. read more

Transition Tri has been amazing to me during next triathlon journey's. It all started last summer with my old bike giving me major issues before my first Tri ever. Steve took me in as a walk in and fixed my bike literally 3 days before my race and had me at ease. I was able to remain calm and I finished the race with my bike in one piece. But it didn't stop there! I got fitted for the most amazing GURU two months later and he motivated me to sign up for my first half ironman. I asked him if I should do Eagleman and his response was 'why not' . His answer is basically what got me to do it. Why not right ... ? Steve and Alex got me to believe in myself and every two weeks I began to collect my new gear! They know I'm limited on budget and they really guided me to make sure I was safe and had the right gear. Before any race I go to get my mental prep talk. I wear the Tri kit proudly because I believe in them! I only let Steve touch my bike and he checks it every few months to make sure it's still safe . Now that I'm running more Alex introduced me to Newtons! I will never run again in anything but those. It's like running on clouds in heaven. I love everything about this store. They really are amazing people and treat there costumes like family. So now before any race I say to myself Why not!? :) Xo read more

See all

Steve, Alex and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable about triathlon and its disciplines. Also if you simply a runner, cyclist or swimmer they can help you with all the equipment you might need. Great place! read more

I have been a customer since they have opened. Steve and Alex, the owners are warm, friendly and great resources to get you prepared for the next race. Even if you aren't buying, drop in and join their Wed night rides for a good time. I have trained a couple of seasons with their group and it's relaxed and catered to all levels of preparedness. read more

I went to transition triathlon today to get an outfit for my first sprint triathlon that's coming up in a couple weeks. I was very nervous going into tri store but the staff were very friendly and approachable. read more

Great customer service, honest price. They tuned up my bike and the bike rides better than new! Thank you.

Stopped in yesterday to pick up some gear for my first triathlon and had a really great experience. Steve was very personable and took the time out to explain the benefits and downsides to every piece of gear I purchased without making me feel rushed or pressured. He was able to make practical suggestions based on his own experience gained over the years as a triathlete which was very helpful. The store is small but has a great selection, even for Clydesdales like myself. Thanks Steve, I will definitely be back! read more

I came into Transition Triathlon after a horrible experience at another bike shop in Leesburg (scathing review of that place on the way). The same smiling faces and pleasant reception that I received on the phone before arriving carried on from the moment I walked into the building to the moment I left. The customer service at this place is beyond amazing. Because they didn't try to up-sell me and because they were honest in assessing my bike's issues, I decided to buy as many things as I could in one go. I will try hard to patronize this store from now on. I would prefer to spend money on gas, be treated with respect, and get a quality product than go anywhere closer. read more
