I took my older bike into Pedal Power for a tune-up & new brake pads. They checked the bike & actually talked me out of getting the tune-up since everything was working okay. Brake pads were replaced quickly & I had the bike back next business day. Very friendly & non-judgmental of my old bike(unlike an experience a few years ago at a different shop). They have now built up some trust with me by NOT selling me something I didn’t need(tune-up).

I have followed this shop and Randy(owner) from Mechanicsville. The owner and the shop have always been great. Fair pricing, friendly, professional and never any high pressure sales. I have purchased 2 bikes from this shop and have had several repairs done over the years. Highly recommend, to any looking for new or used bike of any style, to give this shop a chance.

I always stop to get gas at the Exxon station near by and have always noticed the bike shop but never paid it any mind. One evening after work I wanted to take a quick spin on my bike, but needed a part. All the bike shops in Carytown were already closed so I decided to Unilocal this location. To my dismay, they were still open. I went right in got what I needed and was on the trail in no time. I must say I was very impressed with this shop. It was huge! Very clean and they carry all the stuff that the other bike shops in town carry. The staff was friendly and very knowledgable. If you haven’t been to this shop, I suggest you stop in and check it out. I’m sure you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find inside. And they have parking! No driving around trying to find a parking spot.

The guys at this shop were incredibly friendly, helpful and oh so knowledgeable in assisting me while I was looking for an intro level road bike. Albert and Mike both ride(as I’m sure the other employees do too) which made me all the more comfortable with the opinions they gave to any question I had. They didn’t try and sell me anything out of my financial or comfort zone. The work they were doing on bikes people had brought in for tuning, as I was looking around, was meticulously done with much care and professionalism.

This shop used to be Rowlett’s, which was my favorite Richmond bike store. When Rowlett’s closed, I was bereft. When Pedal Power in Mechanicsville — which I had visited but with which I was not impressed — bought the Rowlett’s site, I stopped in before their official opening to discover Albert and Kate, from Rowlett’s, working there. I immediately felt right at home, and the addition of Mike and Randy have made this place even more so. This is the one shop I’ve found in Richmond that will actually talk me down from a purchase I really don’t need. Great service, great conversation, great people. The service is the same excellent quality as from Rowlett’s, and as the equipment selection grows the shop gets better and better. Now all they need is a Starbucks tucked in the corner. ..
