A lot of riders come through the shop either to buy bikes, repair them, or to learn what the BICYCLE WORKSHOP is all about. We meet people from different parts of New York, New Jersey, and much farther. We ask them all kinds of questions like what kind of riding they do they like to do, what types of trails do they like, and most of all, why they share our passion for cycling?

When life outside the shop is hard, it's hard to get excited about bikes, product, and technology the way we have before.

We are proud to have partnered with this company with such an amazing legacy in the business.
