This is a "We-Know-It-All" bike shop. Even when they dont. They will judge you by what youre wearing when you walk in. If they think they can make a buc off you, then theyll be your best friend. If they dont, theyll ignore you and almost show you the door. There are a few stories of "Young Bloods" on MTBR noting their "snobby" attitudes. Its mostly a "beginner cyclist" shop since they refuse to carry new equipment to the industry, even if its locally made. Youll find a wider selection of accessories at Toys R Us. Plenty of other great bike shops in town if you prefer not to be talked down to. Try Epic Cycles, Billy Goat Bikes, Liberty Bikes or Carolina Fatz. Those are the top bike shops preferred by the Asheville locals.

What a great group of guys. My wife and my two sons and I went into Youngblood early one Saturday looking for used bikes. The guys at Youngblood’s were so helpful in helping us Identify the right bike and bike sizes for my family; we purchased three bikes and got great advise on the purchase of a third used bike from a third party. When I called a couple days later, I was impressed with the detailed feedback I received on the status of the bikes as well as the status of a bike we ordered. Not many businesses give you that kind of feedback without you having to ask for it. I highly recommend doing business with the Guys at Youngblood Bicycles. Great Job Guys.

This was the best bike shop Ive ever worked with. My wife and I rented dual suspension bikes here for riding the trails in Dupont and Bent Creek. They worked out better deals than anyone else I had talked to, and the service was outstanding. These guys set us up great with awesome bikes, a bike rack for our rental car, perfect trail maps and recommendations on trails! If you are mountain biking in Asheville area check this place out.

This place is flat out awesome. I recently bought my first mountain bike here and theyve taken such good care of me and my bike! They are very knowledgeable and were so sweet to make me a cup of coffee while I waited for my bike to get worked on this morning. The staff and owner are very chill and happy to help you. Cant wait to get my next mountain bike from them. Theyre the best bike shop in town!

Favorably impressed with friendliness and expertise. There is so much more to know about bikes than there was 35 years ago! It can be a bit staggering for a "newby" to bikes. Thus, I can understand people feeling a bit intimidated trying to master it all at once. This is a fine shop in which to learn and get fair treatment with both repairs or sales.

Last week I brought my aging Seven road racer in to Youngbloods for a cosmetic makeover. Im no longer racing and want a killer commuter instead. Aaron made some excellent recommendations and did a fantastic job on my bike. Ive now got the plushest commuter in town. Love the shop. Love the service. My new fave!

This place defines why bigger is not better. They have a small staff that is always willing to give lessons on bike maintenance every time you are in there. They always seem to get things done quickly and alert you by phone/email when you bike is ready. Youngblood is a chill dude who runs a chill shop.

Moved here recently and toured around a few bikes shops before landing here. All good shops, but I really liked the guys at Youngblood. They have a great team of three main guys, all friendly and knowledgable. Thanks for all the help fellas I love the new wheel set.e

Came to Ashville to ride the blue Ridge and I bought a used bike that had not been ridin in years. Drove up they fixed it right on the spot and had me riding same day and really fairly priced. Nice people

Mark Grant

Great advice, very knowledgeable and patient. Chad helped me find the perfect bike and also ensured it fit correctly. One of the best shopping experiences that I have had. I would highly recommend.

Love the painting on the wall outside! Plus the staff is helpful and dont make you feel dumb which is a plus when youre kinda dumb when it comes to working on your bike.

Carol Vare

Best bike shop in town. They tuned up & fixed up my bike. Now its smooth as butter to ride. They were very helpful in suggesting what I needed & the price is right.

I feel confident that their profit margin is in great condition. Maybe the point is teaching us to do basic repairs.....or pay out the ass in a major way.

Andrew Pulsifer

Youngblood and his crew rock! They always help educate as they repair and/or rehab your ride(s). Good vibe in there. Service oriented. Thanks, Youngblood!

Trey Dix

Super awesome and friendly guys! Traveling through town on a bike trip and brake went out, walked in and they had me fixed and out in a few minutes.

Justin Floyd

Easy rental process and a finely tuned bike made for an enjoyable trip to Asheville. Will definitely rent from their shop again when in town!

Kenan Hopkins

Awesome set of dudes over there. They are absolutely my go-to shop nowadays and I believe Alex to be the best mechanic in town.

Stefanie Taushanoff

They are very friendly and quite efficient, and my bike feels like its new. And their location is very convenient.

Great bikes and service and nothing to do with the bad Rob Lowe hockey goon movie. Thanks Chad and Matt.
