It turned out that the rotor for my back wheel was slightly bent. They changed my tires, ordered a new rotor for my back wheel and installed it. They had to completely take apart my electric bike in order to install the new rotor. It took them about a week, about a half week of that was getting the rotor delivered. Great guys, very knowledgeable and friendly, a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Cole waved the charge for changing the rotor in my back wheel because they missed it the first time I came over to pick my baby up, after a few miles it had started making that worrying noise again. Definitely quality of service and they stand behind their work. Highly recommend!!

I came, I saw, I e-biked... and now I'm addicted!…read more Let me start by saying, this place is *shockingly* awesome. I walked into EZ Rider looking for an e-bike and walked out feeling like I had just joined a cult--but like, a really cool, eco-friendly cult where everyone smiles and talks about torque and battery life. The owners Cole and Eric are basically the Tony Stark of e-bikes, but way more approachable and with better jokes. They took the time to explain everything to me, even though my only question was, "Does it come in green?" (Spoiler: it does.) The bikes are top-notch, the prices are fair, and the vibes are immaculate. I've never felt so cool riding something that doesn't require a gym membership. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm saving the planet one pedal-assist at a time. If you're thinking about getting an e-bike, do yourself a favor and stop by EZ Rider. Just don't blame me when you start referring to your car as "the old-fashioned way to get around."

I have to give a shout out to the village cycle center…read more I've been getting increasingly into cycling over the last couple years as it seems to be the only kind of fitness that doesn't absolutely wreck my body. And at the end of last season I decided it was time to upgrade the fx3 (which I also got from VCC during covid). Now for the last 8 months I've been browsing trek.com, specialized.com, reddit, facebook marketplace, etc., trying to get a sense of what I want. I'll say considering most bike manufacturers have a large range of bikes for each model, the marketing folks then don't do a particularly great job explaining the differences. Enter VCC. I stopped by because I wanted to know if I was 56 or 58cm, with a plan to go buy used in the approximate $2000 range. My man Tim spent maybe 2-3 hours with me walking me through the entire range of trek road bikes, teaching me the differences among the gearsets, alloys used in the frames, the brakes, etc. It really made me confident in terms of zeroing in on the bike that would fit my needs. And it just so happened they had a prior year model at a price that was close-ish to my original budget (lol). Walked home with a new Domane SL5, and now something like 6 weeks and 500+ miles later I'm a pretty happy camper.

I was told that that was unnecessary and to just drop in. as soon as I arrived I wheeled my bike to the repair shop area. Sarah assessed the bike and started working on the rear tire right away. She ended up replacing the intertube and the intertube lining. The total cost was $17. At this shop they have a lot of accessories, helmets, baskets for your bike. They also had paddings for your bike and other parts to include security measures. Super neat looking messenger bikes and other mountain bikes and beach cruisers for sale at this shop. I was suggest you come take a look if you're in the market for a new bike. Very happy with my experience at this shop. Good to know they are right next to Pilot Brewing. So you could always drop your bike off and grab a brew or kobucha while they're working on your bike. I have another bike that needs a little touch up. I will definitely be bringing it back for Sarah to take a look.

Not only does Igor's do bike repairs, they sale bike accessories. I was finally able to purchase a bike basket!

They also have a ton of parts and accessories to choose from. The chain oil was appropriately priced and we were able to find it easily. Everything in the shop was neatly organized and they asked if we needed help finding anything. They also have two shop dogs!! I love seeing animals welcome indoors and just lovin' life.
