I'm an average height but have long legs for my height. Andy quickly realized this and that narrowed his recommendations down to bikes that would fit me specifically. He even recommended two models that he didn't sell. He just wanted me to get the right bike for me. After doing my research and test riding (even at his competitor's), I found the Argon bike was the best for me and bought it from Andy. He then got it all set up and did a final fitting with me too. He explained the little bit of maintenance I'd need to do as well. In the end, he spent several hours over 3 days with me and was amazing. I highly recommend him and this shop. He knows what he's talking about and works with you to find what's best for you.

Went to the Amherst store looking for an ebike. They didn't have any but checked with the Hamburg…read morestore. They had the bike I was looking and quoted us a price that seemed reasonable. We asked if the employee would let the Hamburg store know that we wanted the bike and were on our way. Drove to the Hamburg store and waited over a half hour until the employee there was done with other customers only to find out that the bike was actually more than double the price given. There was zero attempt made to honor the given price or to reach some sort of compromise. We wasted 2+ hours. Either bait and switch or total incompetence.

Since it was mid day on a work day the store was empty.We were immediately greeted and treated as if our presence really mattered. Our salesperson was friendly and really knew his bikes. We were looking for a very specific item and were having trouble locating it. The bike would have to have coaster brakes only and no gears. He had a great knowledge of his inventory and took us right to the limited selection he did have. We explained my wife's limited mobilty and he found the perfect one for her. After a "test drive" we finally found the one we needed. Since the health insurance would not be sending us the money for a few days, we asked for a layaway. Amazingly they still offered layaway and there was no problem setting it up. Our entire visit was pleasant, the selection was impressive and the store was immaculate. This is a business that knows how to treat customers and offers reasonable prices. It is worth a trip here.

This review is just about the service department in the Orchard Park store - not the sales…read moredepartment. 14 months after buying my bike there it developed an annoying clicking sound on each rotation of the crank and the derailleur was skipping. I live an hour and fifteen minutes away and after 3 trips to Bert's and $184.85 ($130.49, $32.61 and $21.75 paid upfront each time which was weird) both problems were still there so I held off filling out their service survey to give them a chance to get it right. But when I pulled it up, the survey had expired. Anyway, long story short, I took the bike to a local shop who told me the pedals that Bert's put on were "cheesy" and were not installed properly so they sold me new pedals, adjusted the derailleur, fixed a deficiency on the handlebars and charged me $60. The bike runs like new. I'm done with Bert's.

A quick recap of the bikes, service plan, truck carrier installation and off we went. That night we were anxious to try our new bikes on the road and at a nearby park. Extremely happy with the professionalism, no pressure sales approach and patience when asking questions about the product.

But as I'm riding today the gears seem to shift occasionally while I'm just pedaling, not shifting. I'm not a bike expert, but it probably shouldn't be doing that.

Adult bikes worked on by the mechanics there generally run from $100-$200. They accepts bike donations year round, which they use as in their various programs. Every time I visit my confidence with mechanics improves. I never thought I'd be so excited to learn how to true a wheel! The instructors are very patient and explain things well. On most Sundays they offer specific classes, such as Fix-a-Flat, Bearings, Drivetrains, or Basic Wheel Maintenance. In the summer and spring they offer Learn to Ride for adults and kids. In the winter the shop is only open to the public 3 days a week but in the nice weather they are open for retail just about every day. Naturally there is lots of bike parking but there are a handful of spots for cars too, and otherwise easy street parking nearby.

It's been since 2021 when we got our Citizen bikes and now have 1050 miles on them, which seems to us like a lot but we do NOT ride our bikes everyday. I've owned a bicycle as a preTeen when I'd ride the one way distance of about 23 miles from North Beach San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge, then through Mill Valley, then UP to the Mt Tamalpais peak, then speed down without brakes to Stinson Beach and lunch, then ride back at young age of 14 ! I was young BUT knew enough to stop in Sausalito for fish & chips at the then famous Arthur Treachers Fish and Chips! Those were the days! These days here in WNY I've so many flat tires on MY folding 16" ebike since we started riding our real bikes on various area biking/hiking trails since 2021! In ALL of my bicycle days of my past in Spain, France, but mostly in my San Francisco, I've maybe had two flats, back in those days when I rode on the streets and as fast as the cars next to me! Yesterday was flat number SEVEN on my 16" folding eBike and as I mentioned, we do NOT ride often, and on the bike paths we use, I'm always looking out to AVOID stones glass and bumps more than covid! What is it with these bike that is so "bad" I am getting so many flat tires? Are you experiencing this too where you bike? It took them about 35mins and it's as good as new.... AGAIN!

There were accessories like locks, bells, seats, tubes plus a good variety of new bikes. The prices seemed really great for a bike shop.
