If you’re looking for expert bike fitting services in Northeast Ohio, talk to Dan at Solon Bicycle. Whether you’re trying to eliminate aches and pains or you want to ride more efficiently, Dan can help you find the ideal cycling position for your body type and riding style. It all starts with an interview session where he gathers information about the kind of riding you like to do and any existing medical problems you may have. Then, he uses that information, along with some pretty cool laser scanning equipment, to dial in the best possible fit. In my case, I wanted a more aerodynamic position on my road bike, and I needed help eliminating knee pain while climbing hills or pedaling hard. After some precise measurements, Dan made several small adjustments to my seat, my bars and my cleats. The difference it made was undeniable. Smoother pedaling. Better handling. Stronger climbing. Less wind resistance. And I really appreciated the way Dan encouraged me to keep in touch if I noticed any new problems. My only regret? Not doing it sooner.

Solon Bicycle is a breath of fresh air! From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed by their quality of service, everything from the friendly and helpful atmosphere to the knowledgeable and honest advice that all of the employees are eager to offer, represents the standard of customer service that is so hard to find these days. They have patiently spent much time answering all of my questions concerning a bike that I am building; when Dan was unsure as to the specifics of a part in question, he said he would research the part and email me, and promptly, I had an answer. I will happily be returning to Solon Bicycles for all of my bicycle parts, services, and advice for as long as their doors stay open and you can count on that! Please support Solon Bicycles, as businesses that provide this high of quality of service are few and far between.

Knowledgable, professional and always smiling staff. Dan and Curtis took the time to speak on the phone and so I decided to drive in. Curtis helped me out in store. Ill say its great to talk to people who give honest assessments. Im new to road biking and the shop isnt trying to force "unnecessary" down my throat. They showed me bikes for exactly what I wanted to do and werent pushy in the process. The parking lot allows for test riding and they dont hesitate to take a bike down and put platforms on just to let you try it. Great shop!! Stop in! To the yoyo that gave a 1 star and said Dan is rude--you must be a real knucklehead to deal with.

I also could not disagree more regarding Solon Bike! I have worked with this shop since at least 1988 (and with two different owners) and have really been impressed with how Dan and his crew have evolved the shop from its sleepy early self into a professional, full-service shop. Personal service, a can-do attitude, quality repair technicians and an ever expanding product range all contribute to a well-rounded shop that does a great job serving the needs of every member of the family. Plus they do it all with a sense of humor! Ill take that any day of the week.

I stopped by this great shop countless times "just to ask more questions" as I pondered the purchase of a new bike. Every single time one of the staff would patiently answer - sometimes the same questions - and allow me to ride. I was never pressured to purchase. There are plenty of other bike shops around where I could have purchased but there was no place better to do so. The staff is amazing - friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Today I walked out with my new bike. Thanks Brian and all for the great service. You know well be back!

Fantastic service at Solon Bike Shop! My 12 yr old son needed a part to secure his bike wheel. We tried to find one at hardware stores etc...We went into the shop and within minutes, they found what we needed. Curtis and Chris sent my son on his way without even charging him for the part. (He was thrilled because he was using his own money!) They were both genuinely interested in helping him and even told him to come back to have a safety check on his bike.....there are still good people out there!! Thank you!!!

Thought I would add an update on this review - I have continued to use Solon, for repairs, advice and discussion about bikes. When I was trying to figure out a winter bike for commuting, I got great advice from the team who rides bikes - road, mountain, fat, skinny. I would recommend Solon to anyone looking for a partner in their riding habit. Any bicycle store open at 11 am on a Sunday has to understand bicyclists. Lots of stock on parts and bikes.

I just purchased my new BMC roadracer SL01 from Solon Bicycle! The bike is an absolute dream and I could not be happier. Additionally the staff were truly INCREDIBLE. I felt very comfortable working with them and they never once made me feel pressured to make a purchase. Also, they did a great job with the fitting process and were extremely knowledgable. Overall, they made the entire experience enjoyable and I would HIGHLY recommend this shop!!!

One of the finer bike shops I have been in. Its nice to shop in a bike shop where every employee has a true love for the sport. These guys are in the business for reasons other than the money, they love what they do. The folks at Solon Cycle are easy to deal with, answer questions in ways that are easy to understand, and have top notch sales, fitting, and maintenance services. Ill be back for sure!

Dan and the entire staff at Solon Bike are truly amazing. My husband deals exclusively with Dan with his bike purchases which have been several. I recently decided to ride again and Dan worked with me to custom fit a bike that just worked out wonderfully!!! We cant say enough about the personal service they give!

Have purchased 4 bikes from Solon Bike over a 15 year period. Recently had a bike serviced there. New pads for the disk brakes new cables the works. Bike has never worked better. The disk brakes, quiet as a church mouse, no matter how hard I apply them. Gears shift smooth as a babys backside. Tim is a genius.

Solon Bicycle is a terrible place. The owner Dan, is extremely rude and shouldnt even be running this shop. Everything is extremely over priced and a very very tiny selection. Go to a better bike shop, anything is better than Solon Bicycle. Tiny rinkydink shop and a jackass owner..Ill never go back!!!
