I love this shop. The staff is always very polite, patient, and helpful. Someone ALWAYS acknowledges you and asks how they can assist you. The staff also seems pretty knowledgable about bikes and bike related things which is refreshing. I bought both my bikes (a Giant brand hybrid bike and a Bontrager Trek style cyclocross bike) at this shop (along with some accessories like a multitool and other emergency/repair equipment). They also have frequent coupons if you sign up for their newsletter. Usually something like 20% off an accessory or a discount on a tune-up or something. The location of the shop is great as well; Old Takoma is a quaint and friendly little "town". Really nice people. Reliable and flexible service. Great prices.

I went today without my bicycle to ask about getting a tune-up and the cost of having the bike broken down and shipped out of state. The prices seemed fair for both so I said Id be back in an hour. When I came back I had to wait for quite a while before any of the staff even acknowledged me, and it was only then that I found out what would have been a thirty minute tune up was going to take ten days. The staff was non-apologetic about the wait or the labor time, so I left. Wont be going back.

Brought my wheel in --- chronic flat tire issue. The tech found a staple that I hadnt found and replaced the tube. Next day, another flat tire. Returned to the shop --- Bruce dropped the job that he was working on to take care of me. He found the tiniest bit of shark-toothed glass embedded in the tire (apparently only a problem when the bike was loaded). No charge for the work --- and threw in a brand new tube. 5 stars: This is the way that business used to be done. Thanks, Bruce!

Not a fan of Takoma Park or the majority of stores in the downtown area, but Takoma Bicycle is an exception. Bruce is a former bike racer and his passion for the sport shines through whether he is talking to the serious cyclist, bike commuter, or kid on their first bike. Incredibly knowledgeable and patient, Bruce gives the same amount of attention to you regardless of what you need, be it a new set of pedals or a handlebar cap or a brand new bike. Hes an excellent bike tech too.

Super nice owner and employees! Wonderful selection of bike accessories, as well as, quality bicycles. The service at Takoma Bicycle Shop is friendly top-notch and nonpareil. These folks know their stuff. Service is much less expensive than most (if not all) downtown DC shops and without the nasty pretentious attitude of Adams Morgan City Bikes (although I do recommend City Bikes Chevy Chase location).

The owner is super nice and helpful and worked with me to get a good bike match for my 2nd grader who is still gaining confidence on the bike. They have a nice bike and accessory selection and are quite competent at repairs. Thumbs up! Only reason I didnt give it five stars is I wish they had longer weekend hours, but they are still pretty new, so that may change.

The best all around service Ive ever had! I rode 3 miles up hill on a flat tire and dry chain to get a kick stand. They filled my tires, oiled my chain and installed my kick stand in less than a minute like a NASCAR pit crew! They are awesome and Ill definitely be giving them return business and referral!

Takoma Bicycle is a great place for service or a new bike. Bruce is patient (he puts up with me!) and knowledgeable. And its much more fun to patronize a small shop like this, and be on a first name basis with the owner, rather than going to some big box store.

For someone that knows very little about bikes like myself, except for pedaling and balancing, they are very patient and kind. Very knowledgeable and honest. We always buy our bikes and equipment from here.

Just purchased a bicycle here last week. Its a cute, local shop. The staff was friendly and accommodating. You earn 5% rewards back on anything you buy in store, which is a nice bonus.

Great service! I had a bike breakdown (my derailleur cable broke) on my commute and these guys fixed me up right away. They were very helpful and their process were competitive.

I just visited for the first time with a flat: the mechanic was extremely helpful, and quite knowledgeable about my recumbent - I think this is going to be my new bike shop!
