Edwin M.

I had a not so great experience looking for bikes so far, and just stumbled into Velocipede during a walk. Fred was beyond helpful. I tried 4 or 5 bikes and the one I liked the most was not available at that location in my size, nor was the helmet. He had both of them in the store the next day and the bike fully tuned up. I'm a total Noob when it comes to road bikes and he and the other staff members were super patient with me, explaining everything and what I would want, never once coming off as condescending or annoyed at my many amateur questions. They even laughed at all of my terrible jokes which is deserving of a 5 star review in itself I really felt like I had formed a relationship with the staff and feel comfortable going back there with any questions or issues with my new bike! All in all, a really great experience and very professional and helpful staff

Brought my mountain bike in with a busted spoke and dented rims, and knew I was headed toward a new set of wheels. The owner had planned to examine my existing rear wheel and hub to determine compatibility with the new wheelset he was recommending. If needed, he was going to take my freehub body off the old wheel and transplant it to the new wheelset. I guess they didn't feel like following that plan, because they instead just charged me for a new freehub body in addition to the new wheels. Why would they sell a wheelset that is not compatible with my bike? Communication is very poor too. If there was some reason they could not use my old freehub body, they didn't bother to share it. Nobody in there ever seems to know what's going on, and not once did I receive a phone call with updates during the repair. Had to hound them for information every step of the way.

Peace of mind is priceless

Awesome service, called and they got my handle bar tape without a hitch. They were running short on supplies and unprompted they went to check their storage area for more. I like the "high quality" choices this place has made as a business. Keep up the great work.

I can't say enough good things about this bike shop... there service work is the best and there range of bikes on offer is excellent, something for everyone from weekend warrior to Daily commuter to competition racer, and all at fair prices. The staff and owner are super helpful, no pressure and full of any info you mite need, as well as just good people all round. If you are looking for a new bike or service work, go check them out!

Also--Fred loves biking but is so dedicated to his store (running it 7 days a week) that he barely gets to bike in his free time.

This is the…read moresecond or third time I've come here over the years for minor maintenance on my bikes and strollers, and I've always been happy with the service. Last week Noah helped me, and he did a fantastic job. The repair was done in under 10 minutes, and everything was prompt, quick, and professional. Five stars all the way.

They sell a kinda of curated goods from a small selection of tools, lubricants, snacks, and gear. I bought some very well fitted gloves there. What really impressed me was the way they operated the store. It got busy at one point and chilled out... then it got busy again, and they did not miss a beat! But on top of all of that, they were servicing bikes that had appointments or walked in, all at the same time! I was able to bring my bike in, but I also saw they had those bike repair racks in the front and back of the store - they're not playing around. I saw someone walk in with their bike listing off a bunch of stuff he wanted to look into fixing, and the staff person in the front immediately threw it on the repair rack and said 'let's take a look'. They also have this roller situation setup in the front where they can take your bike and run it in place to show what it does while in motion. This place means business and they are super friendly! I wish I had something like this closer to home, this store is doing a service to their local community.

I went to Spokeasy to buy an attachment for my bicycle pump, specifically for a dog stroller. Anson…read morekindly offered to pump up the stroller tires for me. My dog was still in the stroller, and I asked multiple times whether I should remove her. I was concerned about the weight on the tires and bearings while he was servicing it, and my dog was visibly uncomfortable with him lifting the stroller while she was inside. He picked up the stroller several times by the front wheel, which seemed awkward at the time. As soon as I left, I realized the front swivel wheel was no longer functioning properly. It now defaults to facing backwards (180°), and the tire rubs against the swivel with every turn. This made it extremely difficult to get my dog home, especially because she has mobility issues. The stroller is not a luxury item for us -- it's something I rely on every single day for my dog, groceries, laundry, and basic errands. When I told my son what happened, he mentioned that he had a similar experience at the same shop a couple of weeks ago. He and a friend brought in a bike with a brake issue. The shop offered to help and didn't charge them, but whatever was done made the bike worse. Sending a kid out with a bike in worse condition than it came in is a safety issue, especially since my son recently had a serious fall due to a mechanical problem. I understand that Spokeasy didn't charge us for these services, but free work still needs to be safe and competent. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. For these reasons, I can only give Spokeasy one star.

The stem on the new tubes are aero 40 or 60mm, instead of 20mm, but that's just aesthetics, so anyway- Big Thank you for getting to it right away!...
