I needed new biking shorts and decided to go into this store rather than order online. Actually that was the right move. it turns out that sizing for bike shorts is unpredictable (i found a trek "mens S" that was literally the same size as another trek "mens L"). at pedal power i was able to try on many shorts and got one of the best pairs ever from a brand i wouldnt have considered without seeing them in person. its great having this store here locally read more

They could've charged me a ton to buy new brakes. Or, the could've charged me a lot to fix the brakes I have. Instead, gentleman talked about options with me for a minute or two, then got out his pliers, and bent them in to shape. Said it was free. To be clear, I didn't buy the bike from them... I've been in a few times. They've always been helpful. I've spent some money. But I'm not a regular or anything. They just take care of you. read more

Great service, exceptional staff. This store came highly recommended by friends and it did not disappoint.

Great Service! Friendly staff. I have always been pleased with their sales and service. They are a great local resource, just off the bike trail. read more

Excellent customer service and technical knowledge. I've bought many bikes at Pedal Power.

I can't recommend Pedal Power Bike and Ski enough, thanks to the awesome customer care I received when I bought my new Trek bike. Just ask for Jay--he'll take good care of you! And John is a fantastic bike mechanic and super nice guy. This is now my go-to for anything bike related. Check them out! read more

They are great. The whole team seems to pitch into help every customer. From sales to the bike mechanics to management, they are all helpfully read more

Excellent, friendly and efficient service. Jay was incredibly patient with me as a first time bike customer looking for a new bike for my son. They were also very kind to let my son try out the bikes before picking his final choice ! read more

Great customer service! Really friendly. They knew their stuff!

This bike shop has Trek and Specialized. It's convenient and local if you live in Acton. Service is spotty. Bought two bikes here. Never got a call to follow up. No reminder to get a tune up. They don't recognize me when I come in. My business isn't valued as far as I can tell. The salespeople here are young and inexperienced. And they descend on you the minute you enter. Ugh. It's fine for kids bikes. read more

I'm very pleased with my whole purchase experience. I worked with Jay who did a phenomenal job explaining all my options and helped me pick the right bike for me. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. highly recommend. read more

Very helpful staff that helped me pick a bike and a car rack when I had no clue what I was looking for!

Amazing team! I shopped around for bikes for months and the staff at Pedal Power were by far the most helpful and experienced. They take customer service to the next level! They talked me through bike options, put me in their book, and called me as soon as any bikes that might work for me were available. I LOVE my new bike! And I will definitely be back! read more

Very helpful people who try and give you answers without hard sale. They had a great stock of bikes. Straight forward on repairs including suggesting against some as not worthwhile. read more

I took my bike to Pedal Power for help because I was having issues with it. They quickly assessed the repairs that my bike needed and gave me an estimate for the cost. I left my bike there for them to work on. I picked it up a few days later and paid then. My bike worked perfectly. Great service! read more

Ordered a Trek boys bike and when I picked it up a few days later, they helped me with my Trek's flat tire on the spot. They were timely, courteous, and safety-minded during the pandemic. Will definitely go back for future repairs or bikes. Love that it's right by the rail trail. read more

Just picked up my Specialized Sirrus a few days ago. The bike had to be built, so the person on the phone mentioned it could take a few days to be ready due to the COVID situation. I picked up the bike a few days later, the bike was perfectly set up and was ready to ride that day. They are offering contactless pickup on orders as well, so it's safe. Great Experience!!! read more

It's a pretty standard bike shop, I'm not sure why people are complaining so much about it. Yes, you can probably get the basics for less online (ie Steepandcheap.com) but if you need to be fit (which most people underestimate) then this is the store to go to. They can do 80% of the fit ATA does for 20% of the price (if not free). Pedal Power strikes a good balance between service and price that ATA Cycles and Belmont Wheel Works simply can't touch. They're also a very honest shop which I respect and value. For what it's worth, Mike C at Pedal Power is by far one of the best mechanics I've had work on my bike. ...It doesn't hurt that they've got a pizza place and bar next door. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I stopped in Saturday. There were about four people working that I could see. I was not acknowledged at all as I entered. I thought ok, everyone seems to be doing something, no big deal. I was the only other person who wasn't being helped. That's fine. I proceeded to browse around. There is not a tremendous selection but it's comparable to a similar sized shop. 15-20 minutes later.......Another person walks in and within 5 minutes they are asking him if they can help him..... if I'm a customer, I expect to be acknowledged and treated fairly. I took my $1000 elsewhere read more

First off the only reason I am giving 1 star is because they are one of the few bike stores opened on Sunday. After this last visit not sure it even deserves a star for that. My friend brought a bike he was very excited to purchase to have tuned and was in a nutshell told the technology was completely out of date and he should invest in a brand new bike rather than attempting to fix it. WOW - seriously? What ever happened to customer service and making everyone's bike be special - it may not be perfect but if it's perfect for that person why would you rip it apart? I was shocked and then I was told he was one of the owners for the business. With customer service like he provided I am shocked people would come back. But then again I guess there are bike snobs out there that appreciate being told they need to best technology just to do a simple bike ride.. Very sad... P.S. We ended up taking the bike home and fixed what he said couldn't be fixed and then taking it to another shop to have the final tune up done.... I would think twice before doing business with this establishment.. read more

This is a quick first hit - but I visited them for the first time recently in need of a simple part - just a bolt/locking nut combo. Nothing fancy, but essential. The guy who helped me was happy to assist - and found a perfect match on the bench. The best part, he sent me off free of charge. Granted it was just a little piece of hardware, but to me, that signifies great customer service. I'll be back for other bike needs without a doubt. read more

This bike shop is like returning to "the good old days" when your local neighborhood store took the time to get know you and treat you right. They are knowledgeable, honest and excellent problem solvers. It is a pleasure shopping there. They truly excel in customer service and want their customers to "love their bike". Can't say enough about them. As a 70 year old senior who loves to ride, they encourage me and help me feel safe and confident. Bravo!! read more

Long live the family-run Local Bike Shop! Super friendly, not at all snooty, AND lots of great stuff at reasonable prices. Small businesses RULE!! read more

This shop is a great mom and pop run LBS. They are always quick to lend a hand when I stop in for a tweak or major repair. Wonderful selection of bikes and accessories as well. read more

Amazing customer service! My grandmother wanted to buy my son a new bike when she was in town, being new to the area I didn't know where to go. We stumbled on into this place and everyone was so nice and incredibly helpful! read more

Great experience. Brian was outstanding and helped us with everything we needed! Bikes were ordered and ready within the time frame they provided and were exactly what was ordered. read more

Great experience, very easy and everyone likes easy. My sales person was Matt and he was AWESOME!!! No pressure, took his time with me, he was very knowledgeable answering all my questions. He was very patient as I tried out a few different bikes. Matt was very helpful with picking out accessories too. I'm enjoying my new Trek, looking forward to many years with it. The shop is in Acton right off route 2A, plenty of parking. This should be very easy when my bike need service too. I have told many people about this great experience and referred them to Matt. Thanks Matt for all your help from one very satisfied customer! Kenny read more

As I had a total hip replacement last year, I had to give up my Giant Avail road bike for a stagger/step through model. The staff at Pedal Power recommended the best bike for my age, ability and wallet. I love my Trek FX3! read more

First, I place a high value on a service minded business that exercises sincere honesty. Pedal Power sells Trek and Specialized mostly which are good bikes. I've been on my Trek since 2004 and love it. My purchases to date with Pedal Power have been all clothing and mechanical. I expect that I will buy a road bike for my wife with them. But my review is more service focused. While these folks definitely want to sell bikes and cross country skis, they are more about helping their customers than selling. AND they actually pay just as much attention to you even if you just need a $35 tune-up. No snootiness here at all! read more

Just upgraded my Specialized Robioux to the Trek Domane and highly recommend everything about the bike shop experience from initial discussion of bike reviews with Oscar to test ride up Strawberry Hill to final fit with John. BTW, Mike is an amazing mechanic. Has worked on my bike for years. Always more than happy with repairs/tune-up work done there. read more

I haven't bought a bike from Pedal Power yet but these are the only guys around that work on my race bike. Careful attention to detail and creative solutions to problems keep me coming back. read more

The nicest! Last weekend I was visiting from out of town and my bike rack broke. They went above and beyond to help me fix it. I hadn't purchased it there and they were definitely busy on a Saturday morning. If you care about doing business with good people - go to Pedal Power. read more

Great bike gear customer service. I'm a cyclist with disabilities. My bike is perfect for me, though expert cyclists would probably snicker at it. I get zero attitude here. Instead, they listen to what I need and help me outfit my bike for maximal comfort, function, and safety. My bike's getting old, and I will definitely shop here when I start thinking about replacing it. The basket on my 25yo XC ski pole broke late in the season, and these guys found and custom-cut a new set to give me the closest approximation possible to what I had before (which is no longer available). Again, no attitude about my gear or my skill level. They just respectfully met my needs and made me feel good about my activity level. My husband bought his first set of XC skis here late in the season this past winter and was happy with the attention to his needs and his skiing style, but he thought the prices were high, particularly for the boots. read more

Benjamin K pretty much sums it up. You can get much better deals for goods online, and the mechanics do only a limited range of work well, but if you don't have another place to go, this is adequate. The staff were mostly focused on selling, selling, selling and not so much helping (since they weren't so knowledgeable). I'll give myself away to them: don't bring a fixed gear bike here. They were basically clueless and I have ended up having to get work done on it again within a week someplace else. read more

Easily one of my worst sales experiences. Went into the shop looking to buy a new road bike and was consistently oversold on stuff that I told them several times was not in my price range. When I asked questions about why one feature was more or less they couldn't give me an answer other than "The cheap one is cheap". The best part came when one of the salesmen told me that the bike I wanted couldn't qualify for their 30 day money back guarantee because it was "cheap" and I wouldn't "Love it". Shady sales tactics and rude, unintelligent salesmen will keep me from ever coming back here. Avoid at all costs, there are plenty of good bike shops closer to Boston. read more

Contacted them by phone (promised to get back to me) and then followed up with an email inquiring about a new bike. Never heard back from them. One thing I learned in life that this usually is a good indicator of the overall service one might expect and get from a small business. The reviews here kinda confirm it too. No problem finding another bike shop, which, btw, couldn't be more helpful. read more

Brian and the rest of the team including Colin were just so wonderful, knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. I love the bike I chose it! I didn't feel any pressure like I have felt in other stores. Their goal are to make you happy also they Have an amazing pos sales that I have never seen something closer that they offer to make sure you are happy with your purchase . The best decision I've made in a long time purchasing my bike at The Pedal power bike & ski. I feel so good that I am also helping the local stores too! Thank you ! read more

I haven't ridden a bike since I received a 26" Schwinn for Christmas in 1959. (Yeah, I'm that old). Every single person personified "customer delight." Full explanation of all bike varieties, comprehensive fitting, and the perfect bike for me. Kudos to Pedal Power! Now if I can remember how to ride one . . . One very satisfied customer! read more

I went here the first time today to get some cleats on my shoes and got a really good impression. The store seemed well organized and the staff was very friendly. Especially Mike was very helpful and nice. Thanks for that! read more

Just bought a new Roubaix Comp bike from Pedal Power. I couldn't believe the attention they gave me. John spent literally an hour sizing the bike for me. Dan gave me the grand tour of the bike and his enthusiasm was infectious. The bike has been great. They even encouraged me to bring It in after a week to give the shifting a little adjustment. I took advantage of that service. This was my second bike. Except for chain lube, which is very cheap at Walmart, I get all my service and accessories here. read more
