I have purchased 2 bicycles from A-1, and will definitely return for a bike for my granddaughter. Large enough to have a good selection, and small enough to offer fast, friendly service, and professional advice. The military discount is always a welcome touch. read more

Again A1 Herndon (now Al's bike shop) has done it again! I had issues with my brakes, didn't have the materials and parts to do it at home, so I brought it a different local shop. They didn't do a great job and actually caused me to have to warranty a part. They were not of any help, but Al's came through as usual! My new part and fix was all done in 4-5 days. With the summer months shops get busy as more people ride, so I'm glad they were able to help me out at a very reasonable price! Never going to steer away from this shop, even though after moving it is a bit of drive, it saves me the headache knowing they have fantastic mechanics read more

If I'm gonna spend $1000 on a bike it would be here. They have inter-tubes and tires and everything

Spoke to Jake and Royce prior to stopping by for a tire and brake cable install, both highly knowledgeable and friendly techs. Spacious showroom with a good selection of bikes and bike gear. Job was very well done in a relatively short amount of time. Much appreciated and will be back for future bike needs. read more

A-1 Cycling - New tires and brake cable install - Bikes Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Nice Specialized shop, great service just no bikes to test ride. Looking to try out hydro brakes or electronic shifting. Specialized online only ordering. Not sure if supply chain issues bike last bikes always test rode. read more

So I've called several bike shops today as I just moved into the area, I have a Specialized Venge that was packed for shipping and needed someone to place the handlebars on and the wheels and ensure the shifting and brakes are good. This is an easy thing to do at home if my tools were not overseas. Anyways after wasting my time at the Others Guys shall we say I called A-1 Cycling and got ahold of Jake and explained what I had going on. Jake told me to common in as long as it was as straight forward as I was saying should not be a problem. However if there were any issues he could not fix it until Wednesday as he is booked up thanks to the global pandemic. Best part was they were almost a hundred dollars cheaper than the Other Guy (I think they were trying to rip me off! The Other Guy also made it clear he did not like Specialized or at least the Venge.) Jake and the guys at A-1 thank you for doing me a solid and getting my bike in and done same day. I've definitely found my new bike shop in the area! read more

Quick tune up on my son's bike and back in business. Definitely recommend. Now trying to fill 85 characters.

Easily a 5 star experience. A recent experience confirms what I had heard from many knowledgable bike riders....go there for exceptional service of your bike. I needed a tune up, thought my handle bars needed to be set straight and my rear wheel was out of round. Called early on a Tuesday afternoon, talked to Kevin on the phone. He said bring it in, we'll take a look at it, make some recommendations and give you a free estimate. Got there around 430p, they are in the shopping center by the big clock tower. Golds Gym on one side and Ned Devine's the other. Kevin walked my Jamis Ventura Comp back to the bench and made a quick assessment. He quoted me a price and said we can get this done in a half hour. It was more like 25 minutes but he fixed me up and saved me some money. I'm no Lance Armstrong and rely on the professional expertise from someone at a shop like this. It was an exceptional experience. Now I know why they are highly recommended as the best bike shop in NoVa for service. Ask for Kevin, it will make a difference. read more

The best shop for your bicycles. I showed up on a Sunday at 3 pm and All the bikes were repaired/ maintained in less than an hour. The customer service is top notch. Al was the best.

A-1 Cycling - Bikes Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Thanks to COVID, bike shops have gotten super busy, but A-1 was super accommodating and quick when the brake line on our bike needed to be repaired. They were quick and friendly, and the cost was very reasonable- just parts and minimal labor. They have a good selection of parts and accessories. Bikes are somewhat limited right now- they only had rather high end ones available since the entry models all got bought up quickly. read more

These guys were great. They bailed me out twice! Once while riding Lake Fairfax and my derailleur was skipping (by chance encountered a couple of their mechanics on the trail and offered to help me); the other time was recently I bent my front rotor and almost couldn't do my ride. These guys had the part and let me use the tools in the shop to replace it. read more

Friendly bike shop that is always helpful in thoroughly answering questions ranging from tire repair to replacing old parts to available bike rentals around NoVA. read more

I went to investigate a bike I been researching for 2 months. I new I wanted a Giant bike. I knew that they were a big dealer on Giant so I decided to go here first. The salesperson (Geoff) was not pushy, but very knowledgeable. He was determined that I test ride 3 bikes. This helped me make my decision. They have Specialized bikes also which was great. One note if you don't see the bike you like ask for other bikes the have in the back. The prices seemed to be reasonable in comparison for online, wish I could of compare to Spokes, but had sense it was within the same price. I had to give five star as the Salesman (Geoff) spent 2 hours with me find my first bike, second if you count my $69, 10-speed in my teenage years, Lool. read more

Awesome Local Bike Shop. Got helped out by Royce. He's a pretty laud back bro whom gave me feedback and a little gear advice. Thanks Brochacho! If you are new or just getting into biking, swing by. They are less than a few minutes from Lake Fairfax trailhead and have a ton of inventory. Until next time read more

This is place is top-notch, highly recommend getting your fitting here, I worked with their fit pro Colin, he went above and beyond and corresponded with me for weeks to make sure I was able to reach my biking goals....I will be exclusively using A1 for all my biking needs! read more

Edit to original review: Just got a phone call from the service manager, Matt, about my previous review. Matt apologized, admitted fault, and offered to make things right. Now, see, that's great customer service. That's something that will completely change a customer's mind and bring back business as well as have me recommend A-1 Cycling for future customers. Complete turnaround. Highly recommend and will be coming back. Changed my 2-star review to a 5-star. Original Review: I called in on Monday, 10/06/14, to have a new headset installed on my bike. The person that took my bike in was pretty helpful and said my bike would be done on Wednesday, 10/08/14, and that I would get a call once it was finished. I called in yesterday to request that they change the current silver steerer tube spacers to black and to check/adjust the chain line. I was told that they had the spacers in stock and everything would be done by Wednesday. Fast forward to Wednesday, I called in to the store around 6PM wondering if the bike was finished. After talking for a bit, he stated that they didn't have spacers and it would be about 3-4 more days. I'm thinking why didn't I get a call about this earlier? The bike was all finished and I didn't get a call. He then placed me on hold to talk to his superior. All the while, the phone was just unhooked and not on mute so I could hear everything they said. I may just be a bit forward, but they may or may not have been talking like I was stupid. At least that's what it sounded like. I get to the store and they give me my bike. The headset and everything look and feel great. However, I notice a new nick on the seat tube and the bike is dirty and covered in grease smudges. Fork, top tube, seat tube, everywhere. I mean It's not that big of a deal, but it would have been nice to just have the bike wiped down. As for the nick, it's whatever. S*** happens. I just wish they would have taken better care of the bike. Best thing about this place is that their repairs are cheap. You may get what you pay for but don't expect them to take top notch care for your bike. If good enough is good for you, then this is the place to be! Seriously though, to replace the headset on my bike cost me $28, where as other places quoted me $50+ so I can't complain too much. I don't mind the grease, but I just wish they didn't scratch my bike. read more

I called the Lake Ridge store yesterday and asked if they put training wheels on kids bikes. I had tried doing it myself but I was not strong enough to turn the nuts/bolts. I was told that they do and I might be able to have it done in a few minutes or have to drop it off. No worries. I didn't mind dropping it off. When I drove down from Springfield today, Sunday 4 July, the guy working was less than happy to see me wheel in a kids bike and promptly told me that "you can't install training wheels on this bike because the nut is too thick. Huffy's can't really have training wheels put on them." Then he just kinda said there was nothing I could do and clearly wanted me to just leave. I not being a bike specialist took him at his word. But I got to thinking...Huffy has been around forever and I had training wheels on mine and so do all the kids in my neighborhood now and yes they are on Huffy's. When we got home I reviewed my son's bike manual and there is a page showing how to install training wheels and the size to use for the bike. I get that installing training wheels isn't as big a job as servicing a professional bike riders fancy bike might be but just tell me that! This guy clearly didn't want to be bothered with doing it. I also think that because it was 4 July and the store was closing in two hours he just didn't want to do it. There was another guy in the parking lot that appeared to work there but he was too busy affixing a flag to his pickup for the holiday. The guy in the store actually said "well you should just buy a bike with the training wheels already on it." HUH! Sad thing is that I work in health and wellness for a very large government agency and often recommend companies to our workforce to promote a healthy work-life balance. I will be sure NOT to recommend these folks for any fitness needs! So for anyone who does care to provide the service, let me know as I still need the training wheels put on and I will also tip...guy missed out on that $20 tip plus I was going to buy a helmet, bell, all sorts of add ons for my son and a bike for myself and husband so we could ride with him! If you know of a shop that WOULD like the business let me know! read more

Colin and the team at A-1 Cycling are awesome! You can count on friendly, professional, and efficient service from them every time. Highly recommended! read more

I can not speak highly enough of this bike store. They were able to fix a tubeless tire flat for me in less than 10 minutes! They were incredibly knowledgeable and even told me about a few trails I should try. I would highly recommend this store to everyone read more

I received great service! I took my jogging stroller in because the tires were flat. I assumed I needed new tires but the young man first tried to put air in the tires and sure enough that's all it needed. I'm really thankful he didn't try and sell me something I didn't need. There was no charge either and appreciated the friendly, quick and honest service I received. I'll be back to purchase two toddler bikes later this year for my kids. read more

I was at the store in Herndon today and these guys are the BEST!!! Courteous, professional and very friendly staff. I called the store about two weeks and the gentleman who answered the phone was so helpful that I decided to go the store. We need business in our town to operate like A-1 Cycling. The fact that these guys are experts is a plus. Keep the good job guys and thank for fixing my daughter's bike!!! read more

We've now bought three kids' bikes at A-1 and it's been a great experience every time. We had bought one bike from Target, got it home, and found it was missing parts and other parts were broken. Called A-1 in a panic the next day (birthday party coming up!) and bought a much better bike for less money. They offer free tune-ups on all bikes they sell and have a huge inventory of bikes and accessories on hand to fulfill any need. Their customer service is excellent. I needed a particular bike and Chris, the assistant, offered to pick it up from their Manassas store on his way to work in Herndon the next day! Fantastic. read more

I stopped into the store in October 2012 on a whim with my family after eating in the attached shopping center, and had a rude customer service experience. One of the sales staff told my son (age 4) several times to "be careful" and "don't break" one of the mountain bikes in the shop, which was attached to a mount in the middle of the store. Not only had my kid done nothing but look at it and gently put his hand on the bike, but the thing was freaking attached- he couldn't have broken the bike if he'd wanted to. What did the guy think, that my 4 year old was going to rip the bike off the mount and smash it on the floor? When the sales guy made another comment about how "if you break it, you buy it", I told him no, that's not true, and we walked out. We'll shop elsewhere. read more

Bona Fide shop through and through. Very professional staff, and most importantly, they're all personable and not pushy 'salespeople'. Don't be dismissive of the youngsters working there; you'll be surprised at how knowledgable they are! Colin is the consummate pro -- his wheel building skills are second to none. Just had him lace up some NOX Falkors to a set of Project 321s for my gravel bike, and they look absolutely sick! I just beat on them this afternoon, and both rims are perfectly true. A1 customer for life! I've had a hiccup or two in the 15 years I've been shopping there. But when they make a mistake, it's clear that the owners have passed on their mantra to "make things right"! read more

I have never bought a bike here, but have bought many parts here and always bring my bikes here for service. I have always been very pleased with the service and overall experience. The staff has been very knowledgeable and helpful. I wouldn't recommend going at lunch time as they are always very busy, but any other time the staff will take time to talk to you and recommend what is best. I definitely give A1 Cycling the two-thumbs up. read more

Agreed, the prices aren't the best, and sometimes the service is inattentive. But I would say that about all bike shops. Once you get their attention, its undivided and very helpful. Bought my first bike from here. It was a great deal, and they walked me through the entire selection process and didn't pressure a purchase. In fact, they suggested I come back a few months later to wait for the price drop. I did, and it saved me $200! I would suggest if you're looking to buy your first bike, look no further, very helpful and informative. Looking out for the customer indeed. If you're looking for parts, I would suggest getting it online (30 for a derailleur hanger?). Their service agreement is nice too if you buy a bike (free adjustments for life). read more

Repair guy saved me. I had a broken part which would take a week to get a new part in. But I had a ride scheduled the next day. The repair guy thought outside-the-box and got me up and running that night. So very thankful ! Great customer service. read more

I bought my first bike in 20 years here. A great bunch of folks, young and...older. Very helpful and willing to take the time to explain things to you and address your needs rather than hurry you through to the next customer. Definitely a place to come to regularly for support! read more

The team at A1 is fantastic. they are knowledgable, friendly and operate with high integrity. I recently had my bike serviced and after picking it up I had a mechanical malfunction. One call to Rob the service manager, and he made everything right. He went above and Beyond in replacing the broken part. He did a full inspection, tune up and replaced some things that I didn't even know needed attention. All on the house. Although I didn't expect this, it felt fantastic knowing that he and the A1 team cared about me and my safety. This type of service is rare unfortunately. Customer service and appreciation are the most important things to me in a service provider. I will go out of my way and pay more when needed to ensure I get it!!! You will not be disappointed with Rob and the crew at A1. Give them a shot. read more

Finding a good bike shop can be tough. Glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. These guys are the best! And the oldest in the area too I think. They truly do their best to help everyone that comes through the door. Everyone I have spoken to in here has a passion for bikes and it shows read more

A great bike shop nearby. I came in on Labor Day to get a flat rear tube replaced, and they greeted me right away and immediately went to work fixing the tire. It was finished in less than 20 minutes, and the price was hella afforadable. They were really polite and held the door open for me so I could roll my bike out, too. Thanks, guys. I'll be back for sure. read more

I recently started both road and mountain biking. This means that I've had a lot of stupid questions and required help for some very simple fixes. The team at A1 Cycling has been amazing. They always made me feel welcome and that none of my questions were stupid. They not only fixed my bike, often at a discount, but also taught me how to maintain it myself. I can't recommend the team enough. read more

A-1 Cycling in Herndon is a local bike shop, and has been an excellent resource for me. I haven't yet purchased a bike from them, but repairs on the bicycles I have brought in have been reasonably-priced and efficient, and they stock high-quality parts and apparel, which I have purchased as needed. The staff has been courteous and knowledgeable, forthcoming with explanations about everything I've asked about, and accommodating in letting me watch, ask questions, and learn about minor repairs. read more

Great staff, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable. Prices are what you'd expect from a brick and mortar shop but you get an experts opinion on parts and the chance to see it first before you buy. Tune ups and installs are always extremely quick. Some prefer a tight-shop but I prefer a comfortable shop where the employees aren't forced to be anti-social and push any item in to a sale. read more

When shopping for a bike for me and my brother, I didn't know what I wanted. When I stumbled upon A-1 Cycling I was pleasantly surprised with all the advise and help I received. I was asked questions to ensure I was recommended the best bike for my biking needs. I have been very satisfied with my purchase but the follow up service has been exceptional. One of the bikes I purchased was involved in a collision and their willingness to repair the bike and get the bike back on the road was the most pleasant surprised. The entire staff is friendly and passionate about their work. Overall, I couldn't be any happier. read more

I had a great bike fit with Colin! This is my first fit with A-1, and second overall. I must say, his in depth approach was impressive! My level of comfort and power I'm producing on the bike now is fantastic. Great LBS, we will be back! read more

The staff at A-1 are awesome! None of the thinly veiled contempt and elitism you see at shops closer to the W&OD who don't have to work quite as hard, IMO. Keep up the great work! read more

I messed up the chain and the shift slot when I installed the bike stand on my own. I brought over to A-1 and they were able to fix it quickly. Great customer service and reasonable prices. Definitely recommended. read more
