I brought my bike in to get my RockshoX Reverb post repaired as it was stuck down. after having…read morethe bike for a week I was told they didn't think it could be repaired, but they would ask the head mechanic to take a look. He confirmed it was not repairable and I was told the Reverb post wasn't good quality anyway and the hydraulics are over complicated. I was quoted $250 for a new post and $70 to install it. For $30 I bought a Reverb bleed kit, and not having ever worked on one, I had it repaired and bled within 20 minutes of getting the bike home. I'm pretty sure they never tried pumping up the air cylinder. I usually service my own bike but thought I would give Riverside a try. I saved myself $290 by not trusting the advice of the shop, we're you just trying to sell me a new post or do your mechanics not have any idea what they're doing?? I guess I will keep servicing my own bike or take it to someone other than Riverside.

After relaying a failed attempt at finding supportive and comfortable walking sneakers from Dick's…read moreSporting Goods to my coworker, she suggested I try out New England Running Company. I am so glad I listened to her suggestion! She was right when she said they take the time with you to ensure you end up in the right sneakers for your feet and walking style. The second I walked through the door I was greeted and helped by a very friendly associate. After asking what I was looking for, he had me roll up my pant legs, take off my shoes, and walk a few feet. By this, he was skillfully able to determine what type of support I needed for my feet. He grabbed a pair of sneakers for me to try on and walk in on the sidewalk outside. He was able to gauge that these shoes would be a good fit, but even offered to grab a few more for me to try. I was very happy with the feel, style, and brand of this pair, so felt pleased. An additional bonus: there is plenty of parking in parking lot. I am so happy to say I can enjoy my talks again in comfortable and supportive sneakers!

Upon entering I was greeted by the two staff members with a pleasant hello and the question of how can we help you today? Meanwhile both of these guys were clearly in the middle of assembling/ servicing bikes but didn't seem to mind taking a minute to help me find what I was looking for. This was huge for me as i've been to other shops in the past and have had the opposite experience. One time the staff of another local shop couldn't be bothered to look up from whatever they were doing to assist me when I was literally there to buy a bike... a nice top of the line gravel bike I wanted for a long time..that experience left me so jaded I took my business elsewhere. Long story long that was not the case with these dudes, and after helping me find the helmet and peddles I needed I learned a bunch about the owner Jake and head mechanic Ed. Both of them local to the area - their stoke and knowledge of the neighboring trail systems was wonderful and they even hooked me up w/ a shop water bottle - I've got a zillion bottles but who doesn't love free swag?? Safe to say I left shop more stoked on riding than when I walked in and fully intend to shop here again in the future. Lastly, the aesthetics were modern and major bonus points for the sick grunge station they had on!

I was impressed with the knowledge base regarding feet, stride, cushioning, gait, all of it. I was asked several questions pertinent to my walking and was asked to walk up and down the room under observation. Based on this data, I was presented with several pairs of shoes. The first pair I tried on were so comfortable that I decided to look no further. My shoes and I went for a trial walk on the Marblehead bike trail and returned to the car very happy with how my feet and legs felt. If I have any issues with the shoes, I can come back within a month and I will be offered another shoe. Customer satisfaction means everything to Marathon Sports. Sandra W.

While I was there people stopped by with their bikes for repairs from fixing flats to tuneups.

They are currently booked for 3 weeks! Clearly Marblehead/Salem Cycle are experts and well-loved by their clientele. They put me on a great new e-bike with little fuss and very reasonable timeframe.

They provide the snow as long as it's cold enough. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the weather, so sometimes their other trails beyond the main loop are not in use. As other reviews have mentioned, it does lean towards beginners. For myself I'm looking to cross country ski for maybe a couple of hours at most and I don't go that fast so Weston Ski Track is perfect for me. They offer a range of lessons for both kids and adults and for classic touring and skating styles. I took a classic touring class recently and had a fun time. The day passes are only $13 and you can purchase them ahead online. They also offer rentals. Plenty of parking, very friendly staff, and helpful signs on where to pick up passes and rentals.
