The second I walked into their basement I fell in love, with both the wide selection of beautiful vintage bicycles but also with the time and effort that has been put into making these beauties ride like new. I recently purchased a revitalized Sterling, 12 speed racer with the intention of converting it to a fixie. Ed was so helpful, after conversing about Bikes for close to an hour he let me take it for a test drive. The bike was on sale for $235 (one of the steepest priced bikes you will ever see in that shop as they usually range from $180-200) but he sold it to me for $215 and threw in a water bottle cage. By far the most bang for your buck if you're looking for a revitalized vintage 12 speed, 3 speed, or single. Also the week before I came in with a friend who purchased a beautiful Teal colored, 3-speed girls bike for $200. It was this purchase that prompted my return as she she was riding faster than I, without any clicking or whirring sounds from the crankset or sprocket. As for my 25 pound Sterling, I am still debating the fixed conversion which would knock off about 5 pounds of unssecary parts but would create limitations for riding up or down hill. Either way, I encourage everyone who's anyone to go vintage, as there are far to many rare and awesome frames that need new and loving owners. Menotomy does an excellent job of foraging for such rarities and making them accessible for cyclist enthusiasts in the Cambridge/Boston area! read more

I'm fairly new to city biking so I didn't really know what type of bike I was looking for and didn't have any gear or accessories. All of the staff were really friendly and helped me get set up with the right bike for my needs! Even though inventory was limited due to the national bike shortage, Jeff found the right size bike for me and adjusted it to make sure I felt comfortable on it. He was patient while I took several test rides and made my decision to purchase. He also informed me that they were getting some more bikes in next week, so it seems like they are working hard to keep up their inventory despite the shortage. I also purchased a helmet, lock and lights that Jeff set up/mounted to the bike and taught me how to use. I was very impressed with his attention to detail and I felt like he made sure I had everything I needed to ride my new bike home. One of the staff members even showed me how to properly carry a bike up/down stairs on my way out! read more

There is no reason to even contemplate going to another bike shop. I am a long time customer of this place, from the time Vinny was running it. Spiros and Ryan, the new owners are true to Vinny's philosophy to give the best service to the customers and not just make a ton of money on them (like is the norm in other Cambridge area bike shops). Though they are super busy they can always find time to help you out and you can always borrow their tools to fix your bike if you are DIY inclined. It's incredible how many times I fixed my bike there on my own and they wouldn't accept a single penny from me. These guys are real enthusiasts of old road bikes so if you are looking to buy one tuned up roadie, this is the place to come to. Keep in mind, they are located in the basement of an antique store so you might not find the place straight away, but don't give up. read more

I recently took my bike to the Cambridge Used Bike Store for service, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Spiros, one of the employees, did a fantastic job. His expertise and friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The service was impressively quick, which was a huge plus. I got my bike back in no time, running better than ever. The quality of the work and the professionalism of the staff really stood out. I highly recommend the Cambridge Used Bike Store to anyone needing bike service. Whether it's a simple tune-up or a more complex repair, you can trust Spiros and the team to deliver exceptional results. Their passion for bikes and commitment to customer satisfaction make them the best in the business. I'll be returning for my future bike needs! read more

Could not recommend this place more! Went there a couple of times. Ryan and Nick and Jack are all very kind and helpful! Love the people there and their expertise! I am not a bike person and know very little about bikes. I bought a shaky bike from facebook marketplace without knowing how shaky it was. Ryan and Nick did me a GREAT favor to fix the problems! BTW, it can be really risky and frustrating to buy bikes from fb marketplace now. Definitely recommend coming to this place! read more

This place is in the basement of the antique shop, so a little difficult to find, but it's absolutely worth it. I went to four different bike shops to try and find someone to fix my bike and these guys came in way lower than any other shop and did a fantastic job. The price for a general tune up is also better than any other shop around Boston. They staff is incredibly helpful and very kind, will definitely be coming back here the next time I need any work done. read more

Great experience here! I came in to buy used parts and found everything I was looking for at really good prices. The guy helping me answered all of the questions I had and didn't push me towards buying anything unnecessary or new. I ended up paying way less than what I had thought I would have to for the parts I bought! There were also a lot of nice looking complete bikes around the shop. read more

This place is amazing. I just moved back to Boston and wanted to buy a bike. Everyone who works there is super friendly. They gave me all the information I needed to get the bike that worked best for me at a great price. I recently popped in cause something went wrong with my breaks and they fixed me up really quickly. Really happy I bought my bike from this place! read more

Just popped in to get a tune up for the season and they checked my tires and my brakes and all good. They filled the tires up a bit but not much else to do so they didn't charge me. I even tried to tip the guy five bucks and he wouldn't take it. Kind of a hidden gem below the Cambridge Antique place on Msgr Obrien highway read more

This place rocks! I have been to many places during the pandemic but these guys dedicated time and explained things thoroughly. I didn't feel talked down to as an experienced rider and garage mechanic. Jack, Nick, and Ryan were very helpful and patient. Won't go anywhere else. Thanks guys! read more

Two weeks later, my gear cable was unfortunately ripped off (definitely not their fault or mistake, just an old bike). So, I went there again and they replaced it immediately for a ridiculously low price! They are very helpful. I could not recommend them more! read more

These guys are clutch. I came to their shop at 5:55pm with a broken chain on my commute home. They got me a new chain and installed it outside (since they had to close their shop). To top things off, the guy even test ride my bike after fixing. Thanks a lot!! read more

The whole team at Cambridge Used Bicycles was extraordinary helping my fiancé and I repair our bikes! They were patient, nonjudgmental, and willing to help in any way possible. They are my favorite bike shop and I couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Bought a used bike for a very decent price, which came with a 30 days warranty. I went back for some help with the bike and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (especially Ryan!!!). I'd recommend to anyone to go to CUB. read more

JR was so kind, and helpful--giving recommendations, and helping me tighten a few things for no charge. The world needs more people like him! I'll be back, and will be sure to check out their new location by Union Square as well. read more

My bike lock was stuck outside the Antique Mall and these guys were kind enough to lend me some WD40 to get it working again free of charge. Will definitely be back for all my bikes repairs in the future. Thanks again guys! read more
