At the WORKSHOP, we pride ourselves in the statement on our webpage that states, “WE DO MORE THAN JUST SELL BIKES”. In our spare time, we ride them and find new adventures on our bikes.

Our bike bar offers you a comfy seat and if you’re thirsty while you wait, you can grab a free freshly poured cider or beer. You don’t need to go to Moab or Sedona to experience a world-class bike shop. It’s right here in New Jersey, minutes from NYC.

At the Bicycle Workshop, our desire to better serve the community as just a local store has shifted into offering niche services, and products, and being advocates for more places to ride safely.

It’s been a while since anything really big has happened to us at the WORKSHOP. It is never really quiet at the shop but sometimes it’s a little uneventful. At least it seems that way to the public.

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 we took over the shop on March 1st, 2014, we wanted to make a better bike shop, grow the cycling community, and grow the stoke for the sport that we love. As it turns out, we stopped riding together because someone has to be in the shop to run it. This year, we drew the line. Not only did we need a break, we needed one together. So we packed up our gear and headed to Winterbike 2018 in East Burke, Vermont.

Some people look at a bike and see only one thing, transportation. Others look at a bike and think of their youth and consider it a kids toy. For us, we look at bikes and see not only precision and function, we also see art.

All of our friends and community know that 2017 was a crappy year for a lot of reasons. We couldn't wait to put it behind us. Yes, business was up, our community was growing stronger, and we found our niche in a turbulent retail market, but for personal reasons, we couldn't enjoy our success the way we should have. When life outside the shop is hard, it's hard to get excited about bikes, product, and technology the way we have before.
