Almacen El Pedal

Quick service, inexpensive and friendly. Prices on bikes are reasonable but the selection is limited since the shop is so small. Accessories are a plenty though and also reasonably priced. If you don’t speak Spanish you might have some trouble communicating but most of the small staff are articulate enough to know what you need. I highly recommend this shop for lower cost bikes. The tune-​ups are great and way cheaper than all the other shops in Queens.

Don’t be fooled by the chill vibe in this super casual bike shop — the service is attentive and efficient. My guess is their bread and butter is folks who make their living on deliveries up and down Roosevelt Avenue and people (like me) who bicycle for *transportation.* I guarantee a a sporty weekender will get top notch service here, and a diagnose/​explanation if needed and essential tools or parts for a fair price but don’t expect a lot of fancypants accessories.
This was the second bike shop I hit up in one day for a tube replacement. Past experience has shown me that it happens even to the best repair staff so I’m witholding judgement on the other place but (they seemed nice enough) but I will say El Pedal did it for $ 10 cheaper and threw in some good conversation while I watched him thoroughly inspect the tire for any stray materials.
