Had the items I was looking for in stock. 

A helpful staff member greeted me, answered questions, and made inquiries on what I was interested in for my bike. She also went out of her way to look for an item in the back. She couldn't find it which was fine. 

Second employee who helped me (not sure where the first one went) was helpful too. More direct in her approach, which was off-putting at first. She was professional yet reserved.

Overall, great shop atmosphere with plenty of merchandise and not crowded.

I love this shop for a variety of reasons! They built me a bike this past spring that is absolutely beautiful and fits my life to a tee. I’ve also rented Brompton bicycles from them on numerous occasions (try one, you'll love it) and I was privy to my dad’s purchase of a folding electric bike. All of these experiences have been stellar, from end to end to end. Especial shout-outs to owner Luke, as well as Martha and Karl. Brilliant biking souls.

I especially admire that Perennial changed their name (from Calhoun Cycle) to respect the movement away from honoring John C. Calhoun. They were the first CARAG business (as far as I know) to make the move to do this. That signals that this is a bike shop that values social justice and appreciates the power that words have. I love their new name.

I haven’t even mentioned that, every April, as part of 30 Days of Biking, Perennial Cycle organizes weekly pastry rides that regularly get dozens of participants. If you join these inclusive and friendly rides, you'll bike somewhere secret with the crowd and get a free pastry (courtesy of the shop) for your efforts. How cool is that?! Give this shop your business, buddies. You’ll always feel good at Perennial.

Kudos for the new name change! I come to this shop for whiz kid mechanic Karl's knowledge, passion, skill, and attention to detail. To be honest I intend to follow that guy to any shop he goes to. I read previous reviews and it's a shame they had some troubles about 8 months+ or so ago. I can say with confidence in my experiences with Karl that even if he's not the one working on your bike, he's going to bring a lot of good to that shop! 
Other mechanics I know there are also very skilled and kind. The folks at the front are helpful. Keep it up Perennial!

Totally cool, calm, passionate cyclists. Store has the best collection of bags, panniers and bicycles I have seen in several countries. Did I say Brompton ?! Factory dealer of Brompton with a great selection of new bikes and a rental fleet. Stop by and day hello, you won't be disappointed.

Love the mechanics. They clearly work on daily commuter bikes all day long. Nice!
I always find something that I need, but never knew existed... Do you know what a Brompton is???
