Egads!! I have a serious problem, this shop is pure catnip to us! The place is so well curated and has everything we ever need and way more than we ever could lol. Just picked up a fantastic new mountain bike today and as usual they were able to help me figure out exactly what I needed (yes, a MTB is a need, not a "want" ) fantastic customer service, excellent mechanics, great all-around support both before and after purchases! Just took this new Norco out for its first ride and I couldn't be more stoked for summer 2024! read more

Methow Cycle & Sport - Bike Rentals Near Me - Winthrop, Washington

I was so happy I came here! I got FOMO because I didn't bring my bike on my trip to the area, and I called them on Memorial Day, a super busy day, and was putting a bike in my car about 15 minutes later. Everybody was very nice and helpful. Also as a solo woman I've had lots of bike shops treat me like an idiot/make me feel like I don't belong, and they made me feel super welcome, gave great ride recs, and even gave me tips for things to try with my personal bike back home. Seriously a highlight of my quick trip! Oh and the bike was awesome, and 80$ for full suspension for a day is even cheaper than the shops back home in OR. read more

Methow Cycle & Sport - Transition Smuggler - Bike Rentals Near Me - Winthrop, Washington

This retailer understands customer service! I took my bike in for service on a Sunday, yes a bike shop open on Sunday, they were super helpful. Called later that afternoon with an update, and again on Tuesday with another update. Called Wednesday and explained what was done to fix the problem! Bing, bang, boom, I'm riding Thursday and everything is perfect! If I could give more stars I would! read more

Nice folks and super awesome customer service but the shoe rentals for kids are terrible. The shoes are old and not insulated like other locations. We rented here and our child feet were super cold. We ran to another store near the trails to get socks and discovered there are much warmer, better and newer boots at a cheaper price. Will not rent our kid's shoes here next year. read more

Bought a fat tire bike from Methow cycle and sport today and really had the best customer service experience. I worked with Dave on buying a bike for my husband for Christmas. I'm not a biker so Dave talked me through the options and helped me decide which bike would be best given my husband's usage. I love shopping at small businesses in the valley! read more

Rented XC skis for first time trip with my daughter. Quality equipment and quick pleasant service. Shop is close by the Methow trail complex. Had an enjoyable day. Will be a return customer. read more

See all

Methow Cycle was so awesome that we drove 3 hours to pick up a bike we ordered through them. While it was a long way from Seattle, working with Methow Cycle was worth it. When the 2020 pandemic wiped out everyone's stock of bikes that summer, I set out calling every shop in the northwest to find the bike we wanted. Methow Cycle was the shop that seemed the most in-sync with the manufacturer out of dozens of shops we talked to. And they were refreshingly focused on getting a great bike into our hands with flexibility and cheerfulness. So, we plunked down the deposit and waited. Sure enough, Methow cycle got the bike in stock before anyone in Seattle, and now the bike has a great story too. read more

We love this shop for it's friendly & knowledgeable staff, variety of rentals, expertise in cross country ski rentals and of course, all things cycling! If you need your bike tuned up or ideas and maps for a great ride, get over to Methow Cycle & Sport. Currently they are Covid safe/prepared AND you can rent Paddleboards and InnerTubes for floating! Love you Joe & Julie! read more

Located off the main drag on the 20 in Winthrop, we wondered into this great lil bike/ski rental shop for the infamous Snow Bike Rental. The staff was great about finding us a few hours slot on a booked up Snow Bike weekend. Great staff, clothes, gear for sale and for rent. They even had a changing room which worked well for us to change out of our ski/bike clothes before our drive home to Seattle. I would reccommend a stop in this shop if in the area. Come by and take a look at the fat tire snow bikes! read more

We went in first thing this morning before our son's mountain bike race with a te dropped post. Not only did they prioritize the repair on short order, but the also they also had the part replaced in less time than anticipated. We are very grateful for their service. read more

This is our go to shop for winter activity gears. We rented fat bikes and XC skis from them. We liked the Konas a lot more than the Salsas. The skis worked fantastic. The folks are always friendly and helpful, with great knowledge of the area. They also sell the passes you'll need. They stock appropriate and practical accessories. I'm very happy with the winter biking gloves I bought here. So happy with the trail and advocacy work they do, making the area such a great place to visit all year round. Big thanks. read more

A friend and I both had broken spokes on the day coming into Winthrop from the west, riding the Northern Tier to Maine. The staff took great care of us, and got us out the door with only an hour delay in our day. I also had to replace a helmet, and they had just the right item. I can not say enough about Methow Cycle and Sport. They really took care of our needs, and got us out the door and rolling in no time! read more

Came over from Seattle and realized we had a flat tire on our bike. Stopped in at Methow Cycle & Sport and we were in and out in 15 minutes for less than $20. Great customer service and they even sanitized my credit card! read more

Joe and Julie are great! We met them on a ride in Moab and they were great helping my son and I maneuver some of the best Moab had to offer. Just meeting them, I would trust them with anything bike or adventure wise. I can tell you they care and are passionate about the bike world and go out of there way to provide great experiences! read more

Joe made sure we were able to try out this new (to the Methow) sport. He juggled around times and even made a personal bike available to us so we could go. If you haven't tried this yet, I highly recommend! You get an amazing aerobic workout to be sure, and the bike doesn't tear up the groomers- you just float on top of the trail. The brakes are awesome too, cable disc. Check out the looks you get as you pass a skate skier! (I also recommend giving wide berth to all skiers) The Methow Cycle will also have a loaner helmet for you to use. A great place to rent equipement from. read more

Huge thanks to Julie - who ended up being our go-to person for all-things Methow. Our enthusiastic group of fatbikers thoroughly enjoyed the Wednesday night ride at Pearrygin followed by Brats/Beers by the fire. From that point on, we stopped in nearly every day of our trip to get route advice, purchase passes or simply to say 'howdy'. Looking forward to a return trip! read more

Prior to coming out to Winthrop this summer I looked up Methow Cycle & Sport. I knew I would want to do some cycling while visiting. The service was great and the prices were super reasonable. The folks at Methow Cycle & Sport outfitted me with a nice hard tail mountain bike and a local trail map. Unfortunately I didn't have time to ride all the way up to the trails. I only rode the hilly roads that lead to the trails seemed like 10 miles. Nonetheless, I had a great workout, and I enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Oh yeah, and my speedy descent back into town was good fun too! Upon returning the bike, I picked up one of the shops cool souvenir shirts and orange water bottle. I like souvenirs from cool shops : ) read more

This shop would be a gem anywhere. Having it in Winthrop makes it, to steal a quote from OSB: a destination shop. Joe and Julie are both terrific people people, as is Dave, the main three folks I've dealt with. After I completed the axel Merckx gran fondo in penticton July 13th in 106 F temps and thought my left foot was going to explode, Joe said he'd experienced similar and to get custom insoles in my fancy pearl Izumi carbon shoes. The rigid platform is hell on them little meta tarsal bones. So, I relaxed while they heated up the shimano boot warmer device. A little trimming of the soles, a few well placed foam supports later I tried them back on. Beautiful. Good for another ten thousand miles. Methow cycle has a full selection of road and mountain bikes, and you gotta try the fat bikes in the winter, even if like me you are a diehard Nordic and tele skier. Heck, rent a fat bike to access some backcountry trails why don't cha. read more

These guys were super friendly and helpful in renting us fat bikes to play around in the snow. They recommended an awesome trail and gave us great directions to get there. They made out last day of a long weekend in the valley a perfect one! read more

Methow Cycle & Sport - Fat biking at pearrygin park - Bike Rentals Near Me - Winthrop, Washington

This place is awesome. We came in to talk MTB trails and they spent a lot of time helping us understand what would be best for our first weekend in Winthrop. Then of course we started talking bikes and I mentioned that my outer ring got bent yesterday. They offered to fix it right on the spot. This may be one of the best bicycle shop experiences I have ever had. They are knowledgeable, friendly and cool. Definitely going back next time in town. read more

We visited the Methow Valley for a first time winter vacation last weekend. All three members of our family were new to XC skiing and snow shoe hiking. This shop did a great job setting us up with gear, basic use and where to go. I highly recommend them for newbies. read more

This is one of the best bike shops I've been to in a long time, and I go to a lot of bike shops. My buddy and I went to Winthrop for a MTB event. Going over the pass caused my buddy's disc brakes to lock up on his bike. We took it in to the shop and they fixed it for us and gave the bike a good once over. But what was most impressive, was the mechanic (Joe, also part owner) called my buddy back and showed him how to do the repair him self the next time it happens. He showed us the tool we would need, and gave us a tutorial on how to bleed a brake. I've never had a mechanic do that before. I hope to get over to Winthrop to ride more in the future, and when I do, I know I can stop in and get good advice from the folks in this shop. No attitude, no hype, just solid people doing what they like. read more

We came in for a nice weekend of adventuring around the Methow Valley. I was able to make reservations on a nice Kona Kahuna for the missus to ride for the day. The lady who helped us, who I suspect is a co-owner, got us into a well fitting a bike, provided a couple of free maps of the area and recommended two separate routes that were both great.. Pricing was in line with what I've paid elsewhere, the shop had quality brands, lots of inventory and were easy to find in town. We even came back and renewed our Northwest Access parking pass the next day enroute to a climb. read more

Great inventory of higher end gear. Really knowledgeable staff and excellent service. We make a point of hitting this shop every time we come to the valley because we like them so much and want to make sure we support local business. This one is a must! read more

Great people. Got some rentals here last minute. Very accommodating and good recommendations for local riding!

This place is simply awesome. My family and I rented 4 mountain bikes in advance and when we arrived at the store, everything is ready to go. Super friendly and professional service. My friends who live in Mazama love this store and now I know why. The store has a lot to offer, it also has cross country ski for rent. My family and I cannot wait to try cross country ski this Winter. read more

Helped me out of a jam on a busy holiday week-end with a quick derailleur fix. Much appreciated and highly recommend these guys.

Such a great bike (and ski) shop! Everyone is friendly and helpful. The mechanics are super knowledgeable. Top brands and wide selection of bikes, accessories and apparel (including rentals). Love my Kona Hei Hei! Thanks guys! read more

I've visited this shop a couple times on visits to Winthrop and every time I've left with an awesome experience. I've never made any major purchases, but everyone working has always gone above and beyond in helping me discover what the Methow Valley has to offer. Need a rental or parts, sure, this is your place. However, take a pop in while you're in town and get some recommendations from some folks who are really dedicated to building recreation in the area. read more

Joe's bike shop in Winthrop carries all your biking needs, and more! By far one o' the coolest bike shops, bar none! Joe's unerring patience at customizing & fixing my aerodynamic seat post clamp yesterday totally made my day. Definitely top notch customer service and the bike mechanics are super knowledgeable at their trade. Joe and his staff were super helpful at recommending bike routes as well. Definitely stop by Methow Cycle & Sport. You won't be disappointed! Doug Funk read more

Love this place!! Went to head out on a bike ride and kid #1 had broken brakes and kid #2 had a tire that wouldn't inflate. Quick drop in and $20 later both kids are on the road. THANK YOU!!! read more

The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The gear is pretty fancy and not cheap, but the prices for basic bike repairs seem fair for a tourist town. I live out of state but visit my mom who lives in Winthrop, and we have stashed 5 older, clunky bikes at her place. Twice we have dropped in without an appointment and both times they did a great job keeping them in working condition without breaking the bank. No attempt to upsell me whatsoever. On the contrary, they gave me tons of time and attention considering the total cost of repairs was well under $100 both times. They also took time to show me the $3,000-$5,000 electric pedal-assist bikes that they sell, even though they knew I was not going to be buying anything like that in the near future. I will keep giving them my business. read more

Really incredible service and stand up guys to boot. You should feel good supporting their business, they do it right. Issues (fork bent and wheel out of true) resolved quickly and professionally. Highly recommended. read more

I have been to this shop several times a year for the past 5 years, and I am always impressed by the friendly, knowledgeable and personable owners, Joe and Julie. They somehow remember my face and always ask how I am and how work is going over on "the other side" i.e. Seattle. Inevitably, I find what I need there- whether a water bottle, a ski hat, a map or some advice about trail conditions and am happily on my way. I'm in the market for a new bike, and although Seattle has some rad shops, I'm going to wait and get a bike from these folks. read more

These guys are great! Our first fatbike rental and we had fun. They took the time to answer all of our questions and get us squared away. The equipment was very high quality and very new. The conditions were soft in places so we were pretty tired after nearly three hours on the snow so we took the bikes back early and they gave us a refund on half the day. They did not need to do that. That is the kind of customer service that builds loyalty. read more
