Local Cycles

Heading to the Boardwalk and realized I needed a brake cable on my well loved and oft ridden Trex FX 7.5. Long overdue and I knew I was tempting fate the way I ride (think risk taker and impulsive) with only a functioning front caliper (I have gone over the bars more than once even with 2 brakes, ask my kids who still laugh about the time I went screaming down the ramp at Jones Beach into the sand and flew about 30 feet not exactly nailing the landing).
Anyhow, pulled up, waited about 5 minutes while another bike was being serviced, and 10 minutes later was ready to roll. The ten minutes gave me an opportunity to drool over the custom bikes all over this awesome shop. I have a birhtday coming up in 7 months… anyone?

The guys at Local Cycles are VERY Long Beach. Cool, laid back, knowledgeable, really «in» to their bikes, offering a great variety of beach town-​appropriate bikes (road, fat tires, cruisers,
etc.). They are people of of many words, but they are WAY friendlier and helpful compared to other bike repair/​retail stores in the area. Come give these guys, Chuck, Nick, and all, your business and your bikes to repair. They will do a good job.

These guys are great — «old school» in a way — they just seem to love bikes and they are very helpful. I’ve brought my bikes there 5 times. One time i brought a 15 year old bike in that we wanted to fix up, and they discouraged me from doing extra stuff that would have not been worth the money — very honest, and they did a great job. And they have so much cool stuff to deck out your bike — it’s fun to go in there and check it out!

UPDATE: I took my faulty pump back in, and Chuck replaced it for free and even filled my tires with air!
They provide great service here!

Great bike rental place! We rented bikes for two hours for $ 10 each. Chuck was really helpful and was flexible with our return hours.

u will clear your walkway by this weekend or u be in the papers!!! ur choice!

Highly recommended! These guys (Nick, Chuck, Max) were all super helpful while helping to find the bike that was best for me. They were totally patient while I took a few bikes for more than one ride to ensure I was making the right choice. We made a few modifications (they have a great selection of accessories) to a gorgeous Felt bike that I can’t take my eyes off. I refuse to remove it from my living room — I’ll have to bring it to the garage soon or my wife is going to kill me. I, however, think it looks great right here ;) Check the pic. Enjoy the ride.

We were completely ignored by the staff here, they just don’t seem to care about customers. Had planned to buy a new bike on the spot but everyone was so unfriendly and didn’t want to give us the time of day let alone help choose a bike. Left, bought somewhere else. I want to support local businesses it’s a shame. I’ll never go back to this crappy place.

These guys are the best. We got two bikes as gifts and took them on a Saturday morning, which was clearly a busy day, to have them tuned up and make sure everything was ok. The guys took them right in, checked and tuned everything. They found a bend in one the bikes parts and took care of that as well. We left with our bikes riding like new just a short time later. They have some awesome bikes there and service was top notch and pricing was very reasonable.

Local Cycles have a great selection of bikes. If a color or model isn’t in they’ll order it and put it together very quickly. I had to order mine and it was only 2 days later that I was able to ride away with it.
The guys fixed a bent tire a few months later free of charge.
Great guys, and they know their bikes.

Nick was super helpful in helping me and my dad pick out bikes. My brand new bike had a busted tire only after 2 weeks of owning it and they came to my house to fix it. Great service! Great prices!
