Great bike shop! The Broken Spoke has a great selection of bicycles for varying levels of dedication and price ranges. They have used, new, and custom-build bicycles. The atmosphere is casual and simultaneously small-town professional. They have the expertise that comes from being in practice a long time. I highly recommend this bike shop! They are super dedicated and love to encourage friends and strangers alike to ride more often, more safely, and more proficiently.

I can not recommend this bike shop. My husband took our bike in for a repair and neglected to pick it up in a timely fashion. When he went to pick up the bike, he was surprised to discover that it had been sold without any notice. In order to locate the bike, we posted ads on Craigslist and fliers all around town, and eventually the new owner of the bike contacted Michael at the Broken Spoke and asked to return the bike. We offered to pay the full cost of all work done to the bike as well as reasonable storage costs for the time after the repairs during which we did not pick up the bike. However, Michael indicated that he would only accept the full cost of the bike, completely neglecting the fact that it was originally our bike and meaning that the bike shop received all the profits from the sale of the bike beyond the cost of the repairs. In my opinion, the owner of this bicycle shop took advantage of our situation. I will be taking my future business elsewhere. I do not think that high quality work makes up for duplicitous behavior.

Loved this place. Got my bike here - great vibe, great service, great expertise. 

I checked out the three other specialty bike shops in the area, but this place fit my bill the best - I really wanted to get a used bike that was fixed up properly, and this was the place. 

Friendly duo at the front. They know their bikes. 

I was able to spend $300 to get a 1980s bike with shift levers. I've been riding it for 3 months and it's been holding up well. Probably spent $100 on maintenance since getting it (but I'm a stickler for making sure my bike is working great).

These guys gave me a couple free used bike tires from their trash pile.  My daughters power wheels can now go on grass.  Thanks guys.

I put my bike directly into the store to adjust my brake 21 dollars .I'm not sure if it's expensive for the Just within 10minutes work. maybe It's my mistake that not inquire the price ahead.
