JC offers so much! A great guy and a skilled workman, always ready with sound advice for what you and your bike need. JC is a selfless man with a great sense of humor, and he truly has your best interests in mind! We moved in back in August 2016 and immediately befriended JC, and have had only great experiences with him since. Every now and then I take my bike in for a tune up or a new tube, and it's always fully satisfactory. This year I convinced my girlfriend to buy a bike. We went to JC and he helped us pick one out; it was a perfect match for her, and at a great price for what we bought! Recently, when her brother was in town, we went to JC to see if we could rent a bike for the day. He told us he doesn't usually rent bikes out, but that he would make an exception for such loyal customers! While we were there, many people came to the shop, wanting repairs and such, and it was very busy! JC tried to help us quickly, but we could not seem to find a bike that fit her brother, or that was ready for the road. Under the pressure, JC decided to let us BORROW his bike for the day! What a privilege! He really went above and beyond, and because of his generosity we got to have a great ride down to the beach. We were so honored, knowing that he was taking a risk in lending us his bike. We are forever loyal customers, and will always be grateful. THANK YOU JC!! Ganson and Tatev

I have tried to get in touch with JC bicycle several times about this but I haven’t heard back- I bought a bike here about a year ago. I was told it had just gotten a tune up and was ready to ride- so I was surprised when I took it on its first trip and almost got hit by a motorcycle when the brake failed to stop the bike as i was going down a hill. I took the bike back right away and asked them to repair it (they tell you they have a 3 month guarantee where they’ll do any necessary repairs for free). I was new to owning a bike and so when they told me the brake just needed to be tightened, I believed it. So imagine my surprise when it fell apart in my hands right after the end of the “warranty”. I took the bike to get a tune up at another shop and spent over $200 on repairs (including replacing the brake, which JC should have done) because every single part of the bike besides the frame and tires was in awful shape. I feel that I was ripped off and put in danger by negligence from this bike shop. It was a shame, because I thought everyone who helped me there was kind - I was excited to find a new bike shop in the area to go to.

A few weeks ago I was caught in a bind with a flat tire and almost every bike shop was about to close. I called JC 5 minutes before closing and he told me he'd stay open so he could fix my flat. I had JUST gotten the inner tube replaced at another shop. He stayed true to his word, I arrived just after they were supposed to close, the team at JC bicycles is extremely knowledgeable and showed me that my inner tube was the wrong size. JC noticed that my frame was too big for me to ride comfortably. I fell in love with a bicycle he showed me and soon after he agreed to trade my bike. After having my bike for about a week, it was stolen. I was heart broken and didn't know what to do. The next day I called JC and told him what happened, soon after I got another call from JC telling me he had a bicycle for me to use in the meanwhile. It's difficult to express how grateful I am to JC and Morena at the shop.. not only are they professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking- they are also caring, empathetic, and they want the best for you and your bicycle. Do yourself a favor and visit. You'll forget about your old bike shop.

  • Craig Wanchope

Out of all the bike shops I’ve ever been to, “This Is The One”!!!. JC and Morena are like superheroes (a freakin dynamic duo!!) and if you don’t believe me, Go See For Yourself!! I’ve searched for this spot based on a whim and God guided me there. I circled that bike shop for about an hour and a half and when I finally found it, it was like finding a hidden treasure. Real talk, if you’re looking for satisfaction guaranteed, this is the spot. I just couldn’t tear myself away from there just in admiration of how they work together and how well needed they are to their community (a melting pot of people). JC and Morena, thank you and may God continue to bless and guide your every thought and move. Btw, when I got my bike back, I was so happy I could cry (and I don’t cry!! Lol). I absolutely loved my experience and they are definitely not money hungry. They’re in it for the love and art of it, just look at the sign on the front of the shop. JC Bicycle, thank you, nuff said!!

  • Joseph Miller

So I had gotten hit by a car back in September of 2016 and when I went to this other bike shop to get a repair estimate, the price they told me was double of what I paid for the bike. Any way fast forward a couple months later and I just happen to remember that there was this bike shop a two blocks away from where I live and I never really noticed like it was just the one place that u pass that's just there. Anyway long story short I didn't think that they could fix my bike or that they would charge me so little but they did and in a short time and I'm back on my bike riding again thanks to them.

  • V. Matthew King-Yarde (nukirk.)

This is a local and maybe new business (within the last two years) that I like. However, keep in mind that this is a used/second-hand bike and repair shop. The owner can tune up your bike and at an affordable price. They also sell a variety of bikes. I think the owner is a stand-up guy and he keeps his price affordable and reasonable. He'll even teach you a thing or two about maintaining your bike. They now accept credit and debit cards, however, if you want to keep the price as low as possible, show up with cash.

  • Emoke Karonis

Brought one really old commuter bike and a newer diamondback to get serviced and a flat fixed. I had all my work done in only a couple of hours, and my bikes all cleaned beautifully. They even fixed a derailleur issue my brother caused when he put on a rack on the commuter for no extra charge. This place is not for the foofoosheeshee, it's a great wd40d bike shop. Staff very friendly and good vibes abound. Great experience and I will be back again.

  • Laura Dee

I went to the shop for the first time today on a recommendation from a friend. My rear wheel was stolen, and Jose took his time to explain in detail what I needed and was transparent with fair pricing. He had all the parts in his shop and fixed my baby up in about 10 minutes. He and Morena are súper nice and friendly. They have good energy and that means a lot to me when I do business with anyone. Muchísimas gracias por todo!

  • Tyus Southern

This guy is an excellent bike mechanic: knowledgeable, respectful, honest, and fair. I got into a bad accident recently that completely destroyed my derailleur. Figured it was gonna be crazy expensive to fix. JC explained everything he was going to do, had it done quickly, and gave me a fair price. He even ran a new line for my gear system for free, and now it works better than ever. I will definitely be back here again.

  • Victor Fairchild

One of the best bike shop I know. Jc was able to perform a difficult task that no other shop wanted to tackle. He was able to perform A miracle on my front tires that was bent of of shape due to a accident. Thank you so much your a angel I definitely do business with JC bicycle again and will refer to a friend. P.S. trustworthy straight forward fair prices and commdate to your needs stop by today

  • Jens

GREAT PLACE! JC and his girlfriend are running this place. My husband and I we bought both of our bikes here. JC is extremely knowledgeable, fair, friendly and helpful! Even now we are continuing to come back for services - mainly to get free air (thank you, JC!). I wish our neighborhood would have more places like this: community oriented, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable!

  • Peter Coe

JC Bicycle saves the ride! I bashed my derrailleur while passing through the neighborhood on the first leg of a 30 mile ride. JC was able to fix it quickly for a reasonable price and I got to continue riding instead of having a humiliating walk back home! Nice owner, and good service. Real neighborhood place with a nice atmosphere and a lot of people hanging out. Recommended!

  • marc

Brought my bike which had been left out last winter thinking this is either gonna cost me a bunch or maybe just not worth it. JC “It will be ready by 4 o’clock”!!!! And it was. Bike looks amazing and rides perfect. Actually better then ever before. What a gem of a spot. Will def be recommending and using JC Bicycle from now on. So happy to have my bike back!

  • Diondra Harp

JC was absolutely phenomenal. His service was outstanding and he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend everyone I know to purchase or service their bike at his shop. This was my first time purchasing a bike and I had no idea what I was looking for. JC took his time and explained every with patience and kindness. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!! Thank you JC!!

  • chai

LOVE THIS SHOP! JC is so helpful, informative, and honest and has great prices. He knows what you need. Great selection of used bikes. Love when someone is dedicated to making old things work again, and tweaking whats there to give a smooooth ride. pictured are each of us happy riders and our respective rides. Recommendations come logarithmically.

  • Hannah Grossman

JC has been my lifesaver the last few months!!! He helped me pick out a used bike, and once fixed my wheel in under a minute, changed my handlebars after I got doored and gave me options of new vs used parts to save some cash!! He is super knowledgeable and sweet and cares about his customers. Can’t recommend his shop enough.

  • Rabiul Bari

Great guy! I went there and didn't have enough money that time, but he managed it cordially. He repaired my bike first although another guy came with his bike that had just a little problem. Also the cost is comparatively low. I absolutely recommend anyone who has problems with his/her bike or wanna buy bikes to go there.

  • Alliccia Hernandez

JC Bicycle is a neighborhood gem! It’s been years since I rode and I didn’t know anything about my new bike, but something was off. Jose in moments saw what needed to be done and fixed it right away in 20 minutes. He also explained how to use my gears. It rides like a dream now and I’m a pro gear shifter thanks to him!

  • Tinhua Hsia

fast honest service, JC was very clear about what went wrong with my bike and the parts he had available for replacement. He showed me the options he had between used and new parts and let me choose after explaining carefully the pros and cons of each. I would come back if my bike broke down in bed stuy again

  • Andonios Prayannis

Jose is brilliant. When I moved here from Boston I had commuter cruiser,r,a bike more appropriate for nicely built bike paths. It was heavy. Jose allowed me to trade in my old bike for a lighter bike more suitable for New York biking. I’m so grateful. He hooked up! This is the only bike shop I’ll ever go to.

  • Casey Drogin

A+ local bike repair shop. JC is a great, honest dude. Went in for a tune-up, he didn't try to upsell me on anything and walked me through a bunch of tips on how to better take care of my bike. Pro shop with super friendly communication. Every bike shop should be like this! Can't recommend enough.

  • Timothy Moore

JC took about 5 minutes to tighten up my breaks, fill my tires, and remove rust from the chain. Benches were out front for customers to sit on. He was friendly, efficient and grateful. I will be going back in the case that I need new tires, something fixed or need to purchase some new gear.

  • Joanne Vance

JC left my bike ready for my 600 Km bikepacking trip through Costa Rica and Nicaragua, carrying 40 pounds on my paneers. He gave me a box and explained to me how to pack it to keep it safe in the plane. I had no bike problems at all during my trip and it ran smoothly. Great service!

  • Ashton Evans

I fell and busted my chain and needed a kickstand. I’m a new rider so he took me through all the gears and fixed my ride and gave me advice. Patient, great service, and would recommend anyone go here for anything bike related. Prices were fair and again just great customer service.

  • Bajan Pharaoh

Jc is great at what he do. It took less the 20 mins to change my front tire that was shaky and replaced it with the original rim at no extra cost, plus install my tubeless tire and adjusted my brakes, straight up!!. You want your bike fixed with good observation?! GO C JC!!

  • Eliz N

Excellent local bike repair shop. JC was friendly and communicative, and he was done faster than I was able to pick up my bike! Also there's just a real neighborhood vibe around the place. Really feels like part of the community and I was happy to bring my business here.

I’ve been here multiple times. This most recent visit was for an inner tube and tire. I showed up as the rolling gates were coming down. JC took 15 min climbing around all the bikes he just put away to find my specific 700 tire. Great prices. Great service.

  • Alba Quintero-Retis
