Without a doubt the most community-oriented bike shop in the Middle Tennessee area. Probably the whole state. While providing excellent work/craftsmanship, they also put together group rides and host special events to encourage Nashvillians to ride. The staff couldnt be friendlier or more helpful and everyone thats been in will agree, just ask them. Every bike they sell is inspected and fixed up to perform at its highest capability. And the prices are more than reasonable (usually in the $200-$400 range, however some nicer bikes can be a good bit more expensive) Makes you can typically find in the store: Schwinn, Nishiki, Peugot, Triumph, Fuji, Bianchi, Ross, Motobecane, etc. (theyve actually got a Litespeed and a Waterford in there right now too!) Best bike shop in Nashville. Best bike shop in Tennessee. The only bike shop for me!

Truly a great group of people who love what they do. They did a safety inspection for my craigslist bicycle and saved my life by pointing out the tire doohickey release was not snapped in. (I havent ridden a bicycle in 25 years and they didnt treat me like an idiot -- Im doing this for my 5 yo son who loves to bicycle). The tattoos and hard core atmosphere were a bit scary at first for a 40 year old mom, but they are willing to help and give advice. And to the poor guy who gave them only 1 star because the bike guy "slept" with your girlfriend. Find a new girlfriend and choose more carefully! If it wasnt the bicycle store guy, she would have slept with someone else. If a woman is totally into you, she will not sleep around.

Great service, awesome prices. I ordered a bike online that came 90% assembled and needed a shop to put the finishing touches on it. I called around town and nearly every bike shop wanted $250 to do so. Halcyon did everything I needed for a fraction of the price. They worked me in quickly and was in and out within a few days! They are also very honest when giving pricing, quotes, bike advice, etc. They dont try to rip you off like other spots around town. I also brought an older bike in a while back and they said they could repair it, but were honest in saying my money would be better spent on a newer bike, which I appreciated. Cool, friendly atmosphere too. I would highly recommend them and I will go to them with all future bike needs!

Went in for a new chain and he asked if I wanted him to adjust the brakes while he was doing the chain (but didnt say it would cost anything). I just thought that was a service they did when you got a new chain since I had never been there, and said okay. Maybe it was my fault maybe their fault but they didnt mention any charges - its not a big job adjusting brakes I can do it at home - I ended up paying over twice what I budgeted for. Just a warning dont let them perform any small service without knowing if theyre gonna charge you at this place. I mentioned it when I checked out but he didnt pick up on it so I didnt ask for any money back as he had already performed the service. But thats what reviews are for I guess...

This is a great place to come. Friendly atmosphere. Great people. Have a community bench so anyone can use Halcyons tools to work on their bike. They sponsor many community activities. You can tell they want to make Nashville a better place. They also have a great attitude when asking questions about bikes, to helping you fix your own bike. Halcyon has great bikes in their store too. Everything in the store is fairly priced. I think everyone should come on down and check out what Halcyon has to offer you and the community. P.S.: Oh to the guy who is upset about his girlfriend sleeping with someone at the shop. Sounds like part your fault. Get over yourself. Takes two to cheat. Plus, I dont believe anyone really cares.

Unique and community oriented bike shop. I have been here a lot as I have been a bicycle commuter for the past couple years and Halcyon is located conviently along my daily route. They buy and refurbish bicycles to sell so they have some very cool and unique bikes that you just couldnt find anywhere else. Also because of this their stock of bikes changes pretty frequently. They also have community bike holders and tools you can borrow if you need to do some repairs. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I have definitely learned a good bit about bicycles from them. They go the extra mile when it comes to fulfilling any maintenance or upgrades requests you give to them. I definitely recommend this bike shop.

Bad vibes.. Ill give them one more try. I live a few blocks away and love local shops. Ive been riding bikes for years but road biking is new for me. The girl that works behind the counter was very short and dismissive of me the first time a few weeks ago and this most recent trip she was more overtly rude. I asked a very simple question which must be frustrating to someone that knows so much more about bikes than me. After looking at me for a few seconds like Im an idiot she finally gave me a few condescending suggestions. I left as quietly as I came in but felt a little discouraged after my encounter. Hopefully she was just having a bad day, either that or I should wait until Im an expert to shop there again.

I have been riding bicycles in Nashville for 3 years. I have frequented several different shops and can easily say that halcyon bike shop is leaps and bounds ahead of any of them. Every bike I see on the floor or on the street is a quality bicycle that with proper care can outlast the rider. I wish I could say the same of other shops! Halcyon puts great care and attention to detail. They will work with you to help make your riding experience the best it can be. I just finished building my dream bike and they did everything they could to make it exactly what I was looking for. If I ever need anything from the cheapest tubes in town or borrowing a crank puller I know to go to halcyon

Most laid back bike shop youll ever go to. The staff is incredibly helpful and will never try to sell you anything. Each time I have been in there, no matter how stupid my questions about whatever project Im working on, they are always cool about it with good advice and suggestions. They also have a lot of quality used parts along with the new stuff if youre trying to save a little cash. Theyre big into the fixie/SS scene, but also very competent with traditional road setups. They have community work stands and tools out back, which can save you a fortune. Great shop. Cool people. Bring them a 12 pack of PBR and youll have some friends for life.

BEWARE!!! Best customer service EVER, very knowledgeable people, especially Patrick. The whole staff, including the owner, is awesome: respectable and kind. I was their 500th customer that day and a whole bunch of balloons fell from the ceiling to welcome me. They gave me champagne while I waited and even refunded everything I bought from them the week before. They even all waved me goodbye with sparklers in their hands as I rode my new bike off into the glowing sunset. Absolutely go here... YOU WONT REGRET IT!!! But seriously, this place is great and the people know their stuff. I trust them completely.
