I went in yesterday when the crank fell off on way to a gig. The guy behind the counter said they were busy but he could probably knock it out. He lept over the counter, grabbed a used crank from the used parts box, and replaced it with one hand, while twirling his moustache with the other. I was out of there lickety split. This is why I come here again and again.
Fantastic experience. Josh helped problem solve a unique issue on my bike in a way that was focused on ultimately saving me money and getting me back on the bike asap. Would absolutely return in the future.
went in to get my vintage racehorse an overdue tune up and exceeded all expectations! was initially hesitant after being quoted a price higher than i expected , but these guys know what they're doing - the quality of work was 100% worth it - my baby rides better than ever ! will be coming back :)
Very informative, knowledgeable staff and very fair prices. From used bikes, to free bike repair classes, these guys are my one stop shop for anything i need for my bike. Usually very fast service too. Great spot.
I’ve been here a couple of times and everyone who works there is genuine, informative, and friendly. If I came about a year apart their whole selection has changed. Haven’t had too much luck with something “for me” yet, but highly recommend to get a reliable and not crazy expensive bike.
Many thanks to the staff for their professionalism and patience! I did not like the tires that I chose. They went to meet me and replaced the tires with others, as aesthetics is very important to me. Now I’m so happy!
Helped me find a rack for an 80s Ross women's touring bike -- not easy to do compatibility wise! Not to mention they didn't ask much for it, and they even measured and made a shim for it on the spot for me in minutes. Highly recommend for kind and practical service!
Went in to repair a puncture on my rear tire. The associate was prompt, friendly and fixed a few other things too for under $25. Great, affordable service. A+
Went looking for a bike to carry up my fifth floor walkup. They showed me a few, but ultimately gave me really good advice to look elsewhere as there weren’t any light single speed hybrids in stock. I appreciate the very solid advice and that the guys were super helpful without trying to sell you something.
This place is the best. I'm so happy I found it. The folks working here are really helpful and patient. I love the mission and model of what they're doing. It will be my go-to spot for all things repairs, parts and whatever the hell else. Big love!
Super happy with the service here. Shane took time from what he was doing to sort out my chain skipping issue. In about 5 minutes he replaced my cassette while also helping 2 other customers. My bike rides so much better now. Thank you!
Great experience, professional and cordial staff at Recycle-A-Bicycle center today—they checked chains, brakes, and overall functionality of my bike I requested for a service inspection of my bicycle. They reassured me it's good to go, all without any service charge. That was lovely.
This bike shop was great! I brought my bike in for some squeaky brakes. It was done in just a few hours and they even condensed the charges so the price was beyond reasonable. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and helpful. Definitely coming here for all my bike repair needs!
I’ve brought bikes in for simple tune ups to entire SS conversions and every time I have been greeted warmly and helped thoroughly and given the option for new or new-to-me parts. I added a before-and-after of my trek-conversion-Bike.
I will continue to be-a-repeat-customer!
One of the best bike repair shops in NYC. By far the most competent and affordable and accessible. They don't sell new bikes and they're a non-profit so you are not going to get a hard sell for anything. ALSO if you're a DIY tinkerer they have milk crates full of used basic parts that you can pick through: Hubs, brakes, shifters, stems, pedals, seatpost, etc.
And it all goes for a good cause.
