They quickly checked in my bicycle for a tubeless tire repair. The staff completed the work within a day and called early the next day. The employees seemed knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly. The bike shop looked organized and maintained a clean, organized bicycle show floor. read more

Don't take your bike here they said my bike would be fixed in 2 days instead they kept my bike for 2 weeks didn't do anything to it (my bike is still broken) and charged me 175 dollars read more

I have been thinking about buying an e-bike but wasn't sure what to consider. Stopped in and was pleased with the friendly and knowledgeable service. I made it clear I wasn't ready to purchase yet, but wanted to understand options. Steve probably spent 30 minutes talking through pros and cons of various options. They let me test one out as well. It was a great experience and I will be back when it's time to purchase. read more

They sold me a great bike and helped me out when I wanted to upgrade a few features. The turnaround time is relatively fast for labor. Fair prices. read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BIKE HERE!!! I took my bike in to get it tuned up and they said the Head Tube was compromised due to the bike basket. They said it was very dangerous to ride and I should take it to the dump. Two employees said that!!! That advice sounded so stupid to me that I went to Rowlett's. Rowlett's said there was no problem with the Head Tube, they tuned my bike and I bought a new bike basket. I grew up buying bikes at Agee's and it used to be such a nice place, but will never go in there again. Staff was condescending and rude. Owner should get on this! BEWARE read more

The work they do is perfectly fine, albeit a little expensive. I took my old, old '80s Nishiki road bike in to get, admittedly, a lot of work done. I had gotten it for super cheap but of course I had to pay for it. They quoted me a high price, but it seemed about right, and when I got it back everything was fixed...mostly. The brakes still squeak a tiny bit and the shifting wasn't as smooth as I feel it should have been for the money I paid. I thought about taking it back but honestly it does work way better than it did, so I can't bitch. Not perfect, but pretty good. I'd recommend them. read more

Manager told me the threads were bare, when he "tried"to install a rack, on the back of my bike. To fix it, they'd have to pack my bike up and send it back to trek. A complete lie! Midlo store put the rack on, 5 min. no prob., no charge!I Carytown was charging me $40 to put the $95 rack on!! Will never shop there again! Beware! read more

I have bought bikes and gear for every member of my family at every stage of their growth from Dave Oakley at Agee's. He always made sure that it was the perfect selection. He patiently guided my sometimes difficult younger daughter through her helmet fittings and bike selection. I can't say enough great things about my experiences with Dave at Agee's. He has humor, patience and integrity. Thank you, Agee's! read more

Agees Bicycle Company is a family owned and operated business that has earned the respect and loyalty of the locals. With three convenient locations, Agees' has been serving Richmond since 1910! I have had my bike repaired here and they did an excellent job of giving it a complete once over. They are the only Trek retailer in Richmond and thus have the widest selection of this brand in the area. Agees prides itself on offering full bike repair, sales and will even assemble a bike for a customer. They also offer a full range of accessories for the enthusaist and casual tourer as well. Bike racks from Thule are sold here as well. The staff are all enthusaists and can speak to your needs with a great deal of expertise. This location is full service and serves the downtown, fan, carytown, museum district and near West end. read more

See all

I just went into Agee's for the first time ever today. I've frequented many other bike shops around town. The guys here are the least pretentious crew I have ever encountered. The guy that helped me was way more helpful than I even asked him to be. I simply went in to buy lube, and he offered to take a quick look at my bike, lubed the chain, and tightened my handlebars for me and I didn't pay a thing. The storefront may not be the most "cool" looking, but don't judge a book by its cover. read more

Just purchased a bike there this past week that I'm very pleased with. The staff were incredibly helpful, and overall honest in their sales approach (not trying to up-sell me). I would highly recommend. read more

This store has no selection . I called to confirm that they had the gel bicycle beforehand and they still lied to me over the phone. When I got there they had nothing. Save your money and time if you plan on coming to this bike store. read more

Daniel the manager helped me find what I was looking for. I had to exchange multiple bikes and made modifications until I was happy and he was so helpful until I was 100% satisfied. read more

Before coming here, I've done a lot of price shopping and visiting other stores while also trying out a few bikes. I've yet to meet any other employees from other stores that were as helpful, intuitive, friendly, and full of information as the workers at Agee's! They answered all the questions I had extensively, and I learned so much about things I didn't even know that I didn't know about bikes. They are very helpful in aiding your decision from their vast selection, and prepare your choices for you to test ride them out behind the store where there is minimal foot and car traffic. The store itself has many types of bikes, and a huge selection of bike accessories such as helmets, locks, baskets, bottle holders, etc. The clerk also helped me select a quality bike lock so I know I'm doing the best I can to preserve my purchase. The prices for bikes seemed pretty fair and standard. Not outrageous at all compared to some other shops. I'll definitely be back for any repairs/maintenance I will need in the future, especially since they give you a voucher for a free tuneup within 30 days of your purchase :) read more

I had my rear wheel (gears and all) stolen and came to Agee's to purchase a replacement. While my bike was there, I asked them to convert my quick release seat to a not-so-quick release one. When I came to pick up my bike, they hadn't swapped the quick release, and there wasn't a tire/tube on the wheel. Even after I purchased a tire and tube, they refused to put it on the wheel for me, even if I paid them. Instead they sold me some tire levers, and told me to put it on myself. Except I wasn't permitted to do so in the store. So instead, I got to sit in the heat over on a bench at Cary Court, trying to figure out how on earth to get the tire on the bike. I hadn't had my bike very long, and had never put a new tube/tire on before. Eventually a passer-by took pity on me and gave me a hand. I can't think of any reason why I'd ever go back there again. read more

With every passing year, this place gets more depressing to look at. That goes for all of their locations. Dimly lit, bars on the windows, overhead florescent lighting, no music or any ambience... it's just a bummer of a bike shop. I've been in the Carytown location many times over the years, from trying on clothes, looking for helmets, and getting my bike fixed. The experience has always been varying degrees of "meh." The west end location is cramped and overstaffed, making you feel hurried to make a decision. Ever since the Carytown location closed its repair shop years ago, it takes an extra day (at least) for them to take your bike to the Midlo store for repair and then to bring it back. No matter how small the repair!! And even if they do have the simple part you need, they won't let you fix it in the store!! Are you kidding me? A former employee told me recently that the Agee's family long ago made it clear that the only reason they keep the Carytown location open is to say that they've been around for so long. Whether that is the case or not, they surely don't give it much love. Not only are there much nicer shops in town (like 3Sports out near the Hugenot Bridge) but now that Caryown Bikes has relocated to the same block as Agee's, the contrast in business models could not be more stark. CBC's door is usually wide open, the staff is super friendly, they can often fix your bike while you wait, the bike selection is wider and more diverse, and they are so clearly part of the community they serve, rather than just a placeholder for a company slogan. Hate to be so harsh, but sometimes even "institutions" need a wake-up call. In my humble opinion, Agee's needs to either come current or call it a day. read more

Agee sells bikes in the $3-4k range so I felt weird coming into to fix my cheap Schwinn bike. Fixed it. checked my brakes, lubed my chain, very understanding that I don't know bikes. Didn't pressure me into a bigger purchase. They told me a few things I should look out for, but they were very nice about it.. If I ever decide to plunk down the money for a 'real bike', I'll come back. Not sure why people are hating on them. read more

Friendly, patient and helpful, they prices are amazing and the staff are knowledgeable. read more

Agee's Bicycles - More than enough choices! - Bikes Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Horrible customer service. I called and asked if they could replace my electric bike tire, which they answered "yes! that's not an issue, we can do that for $21 and we can do it tomorrow." I showed up to the store after wheeling my 125lb electric bike for nearly a mile in 100 degree heat, they tell me "sorry, we don't work on electric bikes." read more

Over the years, we have purchased many bikes and equipment from Agee's and we have found the Carytown store to be the best location. Recently we purchased a unicycle for our daughter and Dave provided top notch service and answered all of our questions. read more

I went in today with no knowledge how to work My bike pump. Staff was super helpful and didn't make me feel Silly! I'll be back!! read more

Myself and my family have purchased all of our bicycles from Agee's over several decades and we have always been pleased, but I will no longer buy from them. I was treated very kindly on my first visit this week regarding a new bike, but was scoffed at on my second visit today for trying haggle. I was given a quote by another Agee's location and this location was not only not willing to match it but was not willing to budge at all from the MSRP. (Oddly all of their prices are the MSRP, thus all of the bikes are unreasonably priced). The salesman was very dismissive and rude to me and clearly did not want my business. Less than an hour after the leaving the shop I had already handed my credit card to another bike shop for the same bike that was listed a full $50 cheaper and was willing to compromise on the price. I am MUCH more concerned about the lack of customer service I received than the outrageous prices listed on their bikes. read more

Agee's Sucks.!!!! Remember the theme song that rocked but the store not soo much. I went into buy some grease and thats what I told the clerk. He then asked me in a snotty tone you mean lube for your chain. Its common for customers to ask for grease when they mean lube. I have worked in a bike shop and its happend to me a few times. So I answer no I need grease to pack bearings. The guy then grabs all the grease lays them out and thats it. I have to wait for another sales rep to come ring me out. There wasn't another customer in the store. What could be soo important he had to walk to the other side of the room to rearrange some bottles. read more

They really need to step it up a notch to compete with nearby bike shops. The staff is less than excited to be working there and have no personality (at least while they are at work). The store is almost sad. read more

not helpful at all, they dont have a service shop and don't know what they are talking about. they were rude to my wife and i and we will not be giving the bike shop our business. Suggestion...be nice to your paying customer! it might help. read more

I was looking to get my first adult bike as a commuter and for fun/fitness. I had so many questions and Aidan was able to answer all of them. They let me test ride two different bikes and I'm glad I did. The first one didn't fit right, but the second one felt perfect. I ended up biking home in a new single speed road bike which I am definitely happy that I bought. But a special shoutout to Aidan for being patient with me and answering all my questions. He provided great customer service. I will recommend this shop to all my friends who cycle, or who are looking to get started. read more

Though I have yet to buy a bike from Agee's, I have to say that I'm impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the staff here. I've been in several times to look at bikes, and each time have been met with a staff member who knows their stuff. They really take the time at Agee's to find the perfect bike for you. Also, they make sure that you are fitted correctly on the bike, and don't let you ride around looking all awkward if a bike just doesn't fit your bod. I've, so far, been into Carytown Bicycles, Agee's (Carytown and W Broad), Conte's, and REI. I'd recommend Agee's in Carytown over the other options. read more

I had the best experience at Agee's when I went to replace my stolen bike (sore subject). David was so helpful in comparing and test-riding the different models, as well as walking me through "Anatomy of a bike 101". 5 stars alone for their patience as I tried to make a decision! The shop had a great selection, which made the decision even harder. They even stayed open late to install all of the additions (water bottle holder, kickstand, lights, etc). I could not be more grateful for their help and recommendations. I never felt pressure to purchase a higher model, even after they called around to other stores to see if the color I wanted was in stock. I am so appreciative of all of their help...even in picking out a sturdy lock. Lesson learned....don't lock your bike up with a cheap lock. I learned that lesson the hard way. THANK YOU, AGEE'S (and David!) read more

The staff was so kind and helpful. They greeted me right away and the sales person was so knowledgeable. I had literally just walked out of carytown bicycle shop hoping to get a Linus but no one would help me. I then walked into Agees and they were friendly and offered a wealth of information and advice. I bought a townie bike and couldn't be happier! They rock! read more

I've been here frequently over the past three years, and was initially impressed with their professionalism, helpfulness, and their honesty. I've never felt pressured to buy anything I indicated was outside my price range, and frequently I've been given free advice on how to avoid certain costs. They will continue to have my business as long as I am in Richmond. read more

Sometimes, they don't have what I want in stock. Wanted a cable without a lock - didn't have one - had to buy one with a lock. Bought an Avenir pannier. When I went back to buy another one, they didn't have a matching color. The salesperson offered to get one from another store, which would necessitate going back another day. The only advantage retail has at this point in being able to walk into a store and buy what you want on the spot. Otherwise, you might as well order from Amazon. I've been an Agee's customer for years but may look at Carytown Bicycle Shop. read more

i have been in Richmond for over 3 years and I have found the store on Broad to be one of the best stores in my cycling career. I've been an avid cyclist for years and have lived and cycled around the world. Jay Coleman who runs the store is very, very knowledgeable and treats the customers he works with professionalism and courtesy. I highly recommend this store to the beginner and experienced cyclist if you're looking for a new bike or service. read more

Would love to thank Erin for helping us out! She was great. My boyfriend and I came in last week to look at a few bikes as a Christmas present. I know nothing about bikes while my boyfriend is very knowledgeable about them. Anyways we walked in took a look around and Erin came up and greeted us. She was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely comforting and welcoming for someone who hasn't ridden a bike in four years. She introduced us to several bikes and let me try them out before making the final decision. She showed us the color choices that they could order since some of them weren't in the store. She order it for us and in a few days we got the call that it had arrived! We are so excited and can't thank her enough for the help. We will be in soon to pick it up! If you need any help ask her! She's amazing. read more

I bought my bike at Agee's Carytown location and within a year I was having problems with the gears so I brought it to the W. Broad location for service. I have overpaid for clothing and equipment at Agee's (like the $50 for bike shorts when I could have had a pair from Walmart for less than $20) because I like to shop local and I am looking for better service. Picking the bike up I had a very unpleasant experience when after waiting patiently on line for service an employee bypassed both myself and another customer ahead of me to wait on a customer who had come into the store last. When a second employee came from behind the counter and joined his co-worker while ignoring the customers waiting on line I was incensed. I was prepared to just chalk up the experience to bad customer service and move on to another bike shop without complaint but the bike was not repaired properly and now everyday when I go out for my ride I am reminded just how awful their service is. Too many other bike shops in this town to be treated so disrespectfully. I'll never go back. read more

I have been a casual road biker for 10 years and a family (3 kids) biker for 20. Dave Oakley (manager) has supported our biking needs for all those years with knowledge, professionalism and excellent customer service. He even supported our fundraisers by paying out of pocket for giveaways. We like Agee's, but love Dave. He's a 5 star guy. read more

Purchased a Trek Domaine for Agee's earlier this summer. Worked with Dave Oakley. Agee's and Dave in particular really took great care of me and I'd highly recommend him if you are in need of a new bike , parts or service on an old one. Dude know bikes! read more

Went in today to pick up a bike I had on layaway. Dave was very helpful getting me setup on the bike. Very knowledgeable about his products too! Doesn't pressure you into buying the most expensive stuff if you don't need it read more

Walked into Agee's and was greeted by Dave. Asked questions about serval different models. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. Got fitted for my bike (Trek Marlin 5) and so did my wife. While my bike was there, hers was not. We were told it would take a week but got a phone call four days later. Excellent service. Even got a demonstration on both bikes. So happy I walked in that day. read more

I had been looking at bikes for a few months around Richmond- ended up settling with Ageeś. Great staff (bought from Hami)- very knowledgable and helpful. Myself not not knowing much about bikes, Hami showed me multiple bikes, explained in detail the pros and cons of different features, and helped me find the right fit for what I was trying to do. I would absolutely recommend purchasing here. read more

Came in looking for a bike without knowing anything about what I was looking for, as I haven't really ridden one since I was a kid. Dave asked all the right questions to help narrow down my choices and helped me find the perfect bike! As soon as I walked into the store he was ready to help and answer any questions I had, unlike sales representatives at other bike stores in carytown/the fan. I explained that I hadn't been on a bike in several years and simply wanted to have an alternative mode of transportation to get around the fan, while still being able to have something I could take to more "hilly" areas in Virginia. Dave listened to my concerns about being a little nervous to get back on a bike and helped me find sometthing I was comfortable riding right away. I ended up with a Raleigh 7 speed that he explained as basically an "all purpose" bike. So thrilled with the decision and grateful to Agee's for all of their help! Thanks guys!!!! HIGHLY recommend Agee's in Carytown for all your bike needs!!! read more
