Green Mountain Bicycles

How can I tell you how great this shop is? First: DooN the owner – one of the most inventive people I’ve ever met (check out the drawbridge running on bike gears –but there are lots of examples of inventiveness around
Second: Rental and bike fitting – easy and quick)
Route knowledge: He took me on a mountain bike trip on grassy roads and gorgeous trails… it is so gorgeous around here I’m back for a third round. And it’s peak Fall colors. I’ll be back again.
Thanks DooN!

First off, if you’re a bagger, you have to stop at this shop just for how cool it is and all the love they’ll throw your way. Ask, and you’ll get a quick tour!
We stopped by on our way through town and were given a quick show of the place. They have a man-​powered drawbridge, lots of classic bikes, a great selection of new bikes, a walk-​through shop, a water fountain on the side and a garden out back! We filled up on water, chatted a bit, then rolled on.
After a leisurely lunch in town, we rode on. About four miles from town, my rear shifter cable snapped. I thought I could ride on since it was mostly downhill but realized that there was no bike shop before our next pass! Somehow I was able to ride back uphill unloaded to Rochester, and I was stoked to find out the shop was open until six on Sundays!
Kinley was my mechanic. He saw how sweaty I was and heard the desperation in my voice, so he finished what he was working on then got to work on my bike. Not only did he replace my cable, but he suggested changing my housing. I didn’t have time as we had to roll on, but he lubed the housing of my rear cable, and man, did it help. He also flossed out my cassette and left a floor full of gunk behind. As he did all this, he gave me some great maintenance tips and suggested replacing the housing at the end of the trip, along with the front cable.
The price was more than reasonable, and Kinley did the most amazing thing yet by giving me a ride the six miles back to my buddies! This guy is a class act!
Kudos to these guys for running a stand-​up operation! I’m already planning a return trip to Vermont! Thanks again!

We recently rented a tandem for a fall bike trip in VT. Since we were traveling from the other coast, all arrangements had to be made by phone and email. Doon was super responsive to our specific needs/​requests and went to a lot of extra effort to provide us with a very well sized and prepared bike. It included some special features that he had to custom fit to make our trip more comfortable. Everything they provided was in super clean, top notch condition and their service was especially friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

Hands-​down, my favorite bike shop of all time. Doon and his crew carry an extensive selection of mountain, road, and hybrid bikes. They ride what they sell, they sell what they ride. They’ve got something for everyone. If I sound like a fan, it’s because I am, as I’ve bought every bike I’ve owned since 2001 here (two road, three mountain). In addition to great personalities, friendly cats, occasionally some chickens, a brick oven (complete with pizza on occasion), and a drawbridge. (Yes, a drawbridge.)
Addendum: there’s nothing quite like seeing a kid being coached by one of the staff, as he keeps a hand on the bike to make sure he doesn’t crash on his first ride, as they slowly go out of site around a corner, only to see the kid riding back I to view on his own a few moments later. Truly, there is wizardry at play here.
