Had the most chill time shopping for skates today with my daughter. I was having a hard time…read morefinding a shop in Md that sold skates and finally got a suggestion for this shop. The skates are affordable, quality skates. They come with a 90 day warranty in case of any defects, and a year of adjustments or care that the shop offers for your skates. The shop has been in this location for 31 years and is run by Kevin (he was professional, hilarious, and very knowledgeable about the skates). We came from Baltimore, so it was a little over an hr drive. The entire process from choosing, trying on, and getting the wheels/brakes adjusted, and paying was about 40 minutes. That included him helping other customers at the same time. A great multitasker for sure! His son was also there helping as well. This shop is located in a small shopping strip. The parking lot was a little tight but definitely doable and it wasn't packed. If you are looking for skates in any size from kids to adults definitely check them out asap!

Cherry blossoms, tulip fields, the Iwo Jima Memorial, the Washington Monument in the distance -- all from the seat of an e-bike that does half the work for you.

My GF planned this bike trip for us from Old Town to Mt. Vernon. It's something we had talked about…read moresince the beginning of the year. I had been less than enthusiastic since our last tandem bike jaunt in DC left me ragged and looking forward to the end. We rented a tandem bike from a known rental in DC; the bike was rickety and took effort even on the completely flat route we were on. My GF found Pedego and opted for the tandem electric bike. This was a 180 degree experience from the other rental company jn DC. The owner was friendly, attentive, enthusiastic and really made us feel welcome. He knows his bikes gave us a quick run down that made us feel comfortable. The bikes are impeccabley maintained and he's thought of everything including helmets, storage pouch, bike lock, flat tire kit etc. He was even extremely well versed on the route to Mt. Vernon. Every pointer he gave us was spot on. We made it to Mt. Vernon and enjoyed food, history, and culture. The way back was fun since the bike did all the work, electric is the way to go for tandem bike long hauls. I plan on coming back to buy some accessories for my own fat tire e-bikes. This was a memorable experience that was easy and affordable.

I'm fortunate to have this bike shop near me…read more From my bike (which is kept in my frequently unused dining room) we heard this loud hissing sound this morning after air was put in her yesterday. Yep, tire flat. So I jump online to figure out what time this bike shop opens, 11AM. I call in case they do a seasonal shutdown and they confirm they are open for business. We are promptly served, about 5 folks working upfront. We are in/out within 30 minutes with a new tire tube installed plus some advice on future service I will need after I request an inspection for other defects. So I suspect I'll take my bike back at the end of this riding season or early Spring 2025. Their inventory is awesome. There was a customized none-motorized bike upfront waiting for pickup that cost $8K. Mine blowing! They have lots of e-bike too. They have lots of bikes, period. They have a small 2 seat waiting area with coffee service. I bought my bike from them, many moons ago and she's still in pretty good shape(except from being dirty I was told with a smile). The recommended future service stuff is low cost routine maintenance type stuff IMO.

Coolest bike shop in SOMD. I recently had a minor repair done on my bike. The repair required a…read morepart to be ordered which took longer than originally expected. I was contacted after the original due date to inform me of the additional length of time. Once the repair was completed, I needed an adjustment to meet my original specs. This adjustment was performed while I waited, which I was happy about. Lastly, the final cost was about 20% higher than the estimate. No explanation offered. Overall, the shop is cool, nice inventory, nice location, plenty of accessories, cool staff and a competent repair shop. Hours of operation are from 12-5 from M-Sat which doesn't fit a normal customer's work schedule at all. I had to either take off work or plan a Saturday around this repair. But having said that, I'm sure management has a good reason for these hours of operation.

In the most recent instance I called asking about a handlebar swap on my gravel bike. As you can see from my transcript of the call below, I clearly stated all the facts up front (Pinarello Grevil F7 2024, integrated cable routing, hydraulic disc brakes, mechanical shifting, separate bar and stem). They quoted me a price of $72 or ~$75 with tax. I came into the store today with the bike, went up to the counter and politely asked them to confirm that the price would be $72. The worker said no and then printed me out a quote $336 -- nearly FIVE TIMES the cost I was quoted on the phone. I would understand a small price difference. But ~FIVE TIMES THE PRICE? I walked away feeling extremely misled and deceived. Is it normal for them to lie to potential customers about the price to get them in the door and then upcharge them later? The time before I took my road bike w/ clip on aerobars into the shop for bar tape and re-wrapping. With a sales associate I picked out a tape, after I was told it would be long enough to cover both the main bar AND the aerobars. Upon returning I was told "Sorry, there wasn't enough for the aerobars" and was given the bike back. I got halfway home and realized they hadn't asked me to pay! Not wanting to be accused of theft, I turned around and had to come back and pay them. The cost I believe was close to $50 -- more than the cost of the tape itself.

I had another bike shop repair the flat for $30.00 and it took less than hour. It was noted the debris was inconspicuously in the rubber part of the tire that most people miss. Daily Rider may have replaced the inner tube but missed the debris in the tire. I say may have replaced the inner tube because there wasn't a cap on the tire when I took it to Daily Rider. I'm told caps come with new inner tubes. Why didn't Daily Rider put the cap that came with the new inner tube after reassembling, I paid $90.00 for tire repair that included a new inner tube with the cap. When I took the inner tube back to get a refund because another shop fixed the flat that Daily Rider couldn't. The person who took four days to work on my bike to no avail said that I had bad luck and got another flat on the way home from the Daily Rider shop.
