Not only did they provide me with some complimentary grease, their veteran team of mechanics were not only extremely patient and friendly with all the customers but were professional and efficient in their skills to complete the task as well as offer explanations on anticipating future issues such as tightening the handbrake cables after a few rides. Despite being around since 1957 and having the business passed down a generation now with over 10 locations in the area, it's nice to see they are not resting on their laurels since the staff very much had a mom/pop sensibility with good mix of older and younger staff and they seem to be very familiar with regular customers chatting with them in a first name basis and asking about other family members, like a neighborhood bartender and his/her regular patrons. I highly recommend Robert, who is sharp as a tack and has even made several YouTube videos posted on troubleshooting bicycle issues at home when he worked with a previous company. Highly recommended for all your biking needs.

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 bought a Trek mountain bike and a road bike here in November 2020 for my two teenage sons (16…read moreyrs, 14 yrs) when it was Spokes, Inc. This is an updated review after Trek acquired Spokes in early 2022 and changed the name to Trek permanently as of April 2022. The selection of bikes here is great (if you are looking for a Trek model of course). Back in 2020, the staff did not try to pressure me into buying a particular brand. I really appreciated that after visiting another bike store that was trying to do a hard sell. Also, I was grateful when Spokes Inc. called a neighboring store to find a mountain bike that my 16 year old liked. It was ready in a week or so. Fast forwarding to May 2022, I returned to do a Level 2 tune-up for each bike. It's a bit pricey at $189, but the service charge seemed reasonable given how much wear and tear my sons have put on both bikes (e.g., inner tube and tires needed replacement). One thing that I like about this store is that Trek seemed to retain most of the service employees in the back when it was called Spokes. That's a positive sign that Trek wants to retain loyal customers, and has a clear business model and strategy (i.e., post-pandemic demand for bikes will decrease, but demand for service work will increase). Bottom line - if you're looking for a new bike or need service work, be sure to take a look at the Trek Bicycle Store as one of your options.

The store is also open 7 days a week, and there were a handful of associates ready to assist me when I showed up.
