Just got my bike fitted by Matt and his team. They were very thorough and nice to work with. Be prepared to factor in any extras for a bike fitting that might be needed to get the bike right for you including a new seat, stem,aerobars, risers, etc. I budgeted for this going in so I was prepared. I would highly recommend. read more

Matt guided me to purchase the Pinarello Grevil F3. The purchasing process was more like a finding if the bike fits my body style rather than just buying a bike and adjusting the saddle post. Matt provided me full service knowledge and the fit of three different select bikes. He also adjusted my shoe cleats for maximum effectiveness. This process eliminated the bike I was interested in prior to me just buying straight from the rack. Also included in the purchase is a 300-400 mile bike assessment to make sure all was in optimal order. Matt helped me find the bike I needed at the price point I was comfortable. The deal was great and I am so happy I purchased from Podium Multisport. If you are seeking professional guidance on the purchasing of the newest high tech bicycles, no doubt, purchase from Matt or Michael here at Podium MS read more

See all

Great personal service that goes above and beyond other shops. Best purchase was a bike fit, everyone should get one.

The very best in bike shops! From no pressure sales, incredible service, fantastic selection, and unlimited knowledge of all things performance cycling to triathlons the team at Podium are at the top of the game. Multiple purchases of bikes, gear, bike fits for both my wife and I and we have been thrilled every time. read more

My hubby dropped in to get a part for his bike. The technician offered to put it on. While replacing the part he noticed the cabling was messed up and corrected the problem. The staff is super friendly and professional. The store has nice products and very clean. I would recommend this store to all bike owners and lovers. read more

This is THE bike shop in Atlanta! In moving to the ATL area and checking out all the shops, Matt and his team are in a class of their own. Considering myself to be rather low on the bike IQ scale, they are able to explain and showcase their services in a way that makes you feel at home and as to make sure to know your business is appreciate. read more

Very helpful staff that was happy to assist and help us figure out what gear we needed. The place is kept clean and organized, would definitely recommend this for your bike needs! read more

Podium Multisport - Bikes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Ordered a BMC online. Paid for it. Never received a "your order has shipped email" so after a week or so I called to find out where the bike was. Apparently, it's all out of stock and this company just failed to look into it. Good thing I called. Barely got an apology out of them. Poor organization, poor inventory management. Expected better from a shop that's this well reviewed. Update: Called Matt Wheeler and asked him to refund my money. He didn't even know how to do that. This guy is completely clueless. I've had to battle it out with my credit card company. Absolutely Ridiculous. read more

This is a great independent bike shop with highly experienced staff. In particular, the bike fit with Matt Cole is exceptional. I can't imaging that there is anything else like it in Atlanta. The bike fit might turn out to be the most important cycling purchase that I have ever made. Fantastic insight. And...Lee now works there, best mechanic I know. read more

I've been going to Podium for 8 years now. Ever since a buddy of mine raved about the bike fitting he got that added miles per hour to his average speed. When I got my "forever" bike frame, I wanted it built not just with the best gear but the with the most attention to detail. Matt and his team truly love what they do and it shows. Matt was as excited about building the bike as I was. Add to that the culture that Matt instills in his business which is customer centric (and not cyclist centric) and the experience you get is tailored to you and not what their expectations of cyclist is. I have been riding for over 30 years and have always felt judged or lesser than with the exception of when I used to race. I had bounced around from bike shop to shop in ATL and it was either attitude or staffed with people that just didn't put love into your bike. Speed up to today. I just got a new pair of shoes and wanted the cleats lined up properly. I forked out the $100 for the service (sounds expensive but if you're putting some milage on the bike, knee pain is not worth being penny wise and pound foolish). The service is thorough as expected. As we were going through the fitting, Matt noticed my position was a bit off so he tweaked some other settings which are already paying dividends. As he was about to give me back my bike, he noticed some potential issues in my aging wheels and asked the mechanic to take a look. they found some issues and we scheduled a service appt. I expected my bike back right then and there, but the mechanic kept finding little tweaks here and there that would make my riding much safer and more enjoyable until my appointment date. This level of service is something I have never seen outside of this shop. Anything that is not tied to a service ticket (and the hourly fee) is never or rarely offered at other shops unless you are about to buy a bike or just did. Keep it up Podium! read more

Incredible shop with impeccable service, and lovers of dogs! I've known Matt Cole for nearly 20 years and it's of no surprise that he and his team are as highly regarded in the cycling industry as they are. Whether you or into Road, Tri, Mountain, Cyclocross, or just need your bike wrenched on....stop on in and they'll take care of it. An enormous wealth of knowledge and experience resides here, and it'll be your one-stop shop for all things cycle. read more

Podium Multisport - Bikes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went in for a bike repair. Straight forward pricing and good customer service.

This is my bike shop and I love my bike shop! So, if you plan to spend a lot of time on your bike then you want to get fitted for a bike that is going to be comfortable. Matt Cole, owner and fit extraordinaire, will take care of you as he took care of me and many people I ride with. I started my fit with filling out a form about me. We talked about what I wanted, what I was having problems with and what I was looking for in a bike. During the fitting, Matt looked at how I moved with various functional tests and gave me better advice then I have gotten from doctors. Then he measured me electronically and the fit bike magically moved into position for my measurements. Then I rode. Little adjustments here and there until it was right. For me. After that I knew I could trust him. I gave him my price range and Matt found me a bike, fitted everything on it, got me shoes with insoles and even showed me some exercises to do at home that will help with my strength deficiencies. I have ridden my bike and its fits! I have had no problem so far. And its so pretty! Podium also supplies all your cycling and multisport needs. Need to rent a wetsuit, check! Need bike maintenance, check! Need some cycling shoes, check! Great store, great customer service! A local bike ship you can trust and enjoy shopping in. read more

One of the last gadgets I needed to take my bike training to the next level was a Power Meter. By talking to the folks at Podium, I was able to quickly find the set up that was right for me. I had been eyeing the Quarq for some time. The best discussion I had was what type of cranks I should get with the meter. I was riding compact cranks but after talking shop, was convinced to make the move to a standard crankset. The techs took great care with my bike and I was quickly set up with power! Whether you are a novice or a veteran triathlete, duathlete, or just interested in one of the three disciplines, Podium will have what you need to get better and reach your goals. read more

Podium Multisport - Podium Multisport logo - Bikes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Podium Multisport is the real deal. They sell great stuff yada yada but that just isn't that hard to find. What is much more difficult to find is an owner/employees that really care and are really involved IN EVERYTHING. Whether it's the bike fit, the local races, the teams put together, training, or just community activities, they're always around and involved and make you happy to call it your local bike shop. Add on to that the owner, Matt Cole is a renowned bike fitter and you really have everything you need. Tim and Alan are awesome wrenches. Dave is an uber bike nerd, fitter, coach, awesome guy, and Ed is always there to help. Love this place. read more

Tim and Alan are so nice and very professional. Idk my ass from my elbow when it comes to bikes and they were happy to explain everything in laymens terms so I understood. I bought a cheap-o bike and it was very difficult to ride because pretty much everything was just a little off. They fixed it quickly and even readjusted my bell. When I graduate to a big-girl bike, I'll definitely buy it here. Highly recommended! read more

5 star experience every time I'm in the shop. Great customer service good prices and quality work. Matt Cole's bike fit is awesome. Can't ask for anything more! read more

I went to podium to get a Tri kit and wanted to get help. Sales people just looked at me and I totally felt judged. Seems like I may have just had a bad experience considering the other reviews, but if you are new to triathlons I feel like this place was staffed by d-bags that are petty. read more

Wow! We had an incredible experience here today. We needed to have my new Garmin Edge 520 installed. Lee & Charlie(??) came out to do a quick install and turns out that now my bullet won't fit. Lee to the rescue! He found a piece of medal that he cut to attach & extend the arm of my Garmin mount. He even set up my screens on the Garmin and paired it to my Garmin app. Best customer service ever!!! We always get great service here but today Podium went above & beyond. We drive 100+ miles to this shop to have our tri bikes serviced here. Matt has done both our fittings. We love this place! read more

This is a MUST READ if you are a NEW or EXPERIENCED RIDER. So, I bought my bike in late May, got fitted, got all the gear, and then started training for the MS 150 in New Jersey at the end of September. From the beginning, it seemed like my bike was not correctly falling into gear. As I rode more and the cables stretched (due to normal use), the gear issue got worse. So bad that I took it to the place where I originally bought it...3 different times. They could never fix the problem. I got wise and tried another bike shop...Twice (to fix the same problem). Still no success (it would work for a ride and then stop). Then, I tried one more shop...same result. ***Bear in Mind, EVERYONE OF THESE SHOPS HAS MANY MORE REVIEWS AND ARE WELL KNOWN THROUGHOUT the Atlanta cycling community.*** Finally, after a month-and-a-half of fighting my gears and getting left by the pack, I heard about Podium Sports. It was Saturday and I was in a bind because I new I had to train and and I couldn't ride my $3000 bike. I called them and they suggested I bring it in...then, a younger lad named Jacob starting working on it. He used a lot of techniques I hadn't seen in previous shops. For one, he actually rode my bike before and after he worked on it. He used tools to check the hanger in addition to visible inspection. He pulled the cables and visually inspected them...then, he found a kink in one of them even though the bike was basically brand new. After 1 1/2 hours, I was on my way with gears that actually worked. Later, beacuse I was having serious butt and shoulder pain, I got fitted by Andy. New seat, repositioned shoes and realigned handle bars. Pain was gone, I was faster and the longer rides were actually fun. Do yourself a favor...check them out. read more

Bike fit with Andy was great. He listened to what i had to say as well as let me know when he heard/saw/felt that it didn't seem right from his experience. I am positive i will be set up on the right bike to go very fast next season. read more

Professional fit, excellent service, great people. Can't say enough great things! I've already bought 2 bikes from podium and they're the only ones I trust to touch 'em. plus purchased more tri gear than I'd like to admit.. Best shop in town! read more

I am a Cat 3 racer with tens of thousands of miles under my belt. For about a year I have been struggling with my fit so I decided to follow the recommendations of my teammates and visit Podium Multisport. I was very happy I did. Most of my fitting was done by Andy, although both Andy and Matt looked at me and consulted one another - thus I got two fitters for the price of one. The fitting began by filling out a form - similar to what you do when you walk into a doctor's office: describing any issues and complaints that I have had as well as my goals and the type of riding that I do. Andy lowered my saddle and moved me forward. He also adjusted my cleats. In addition he instructed me on how to properly position myself on the bicycle and on the proper pedal stroke technique. One thing I thought was significant was realizing the amount of rocking side to side that I did on the bike. Since I rarely ride a trainer I don't really notice it. But while I was doing the fit it was quite apparent. Andy knew exactly what was wrong and silenced the rocking motion by making various adjustments. I felt noticeable relief immediately after the fit was done and simply felt more comfortable on the bike. After a couple of months I went back for a follow-up appointment. Since I have bought a new saddle in the mean time (which was installed at another shop) some of the rocking motion reappeared. Andy immediately noticed that although the saddle was installed well it was slightly off and was causing me to rock again. He promptly corrected it with a small adjustment. I was impressed by his ability to spot something so quickly and make exactly the adjustments needed in such a way that I could really notice the difference. It says something about knowing what you are doing versus simply trusting the computers. I highly recommend Podium. My experience shows that they are just as proficient in fitting road racers as they are in fitting triathletes. read more

I've had great service here. I've been in a few times for various things: seat, bar tape, and a fit. very attentive, someone always asks immediately if they can help me, and the staff are kind and helpful. read more

This is one of the best triathlon shops in USA. I travel a lot and like to visit other stores around the country. Podium has the best selection and an expert staff. read more
