Rockland Cycle

I came in with my 5 year old to get him his second bike. The gentleman in the store was fixing another bike, but he wiped his hands of grease to help us.
He showed us the perfect bike, then adjusted the handlebars and put on training wheels. He also gave me tips on how to teach my son to ride without training wheels. My son played with some of his tools while he did this.
When I asked about their snow bikes, he told me about how they were riding them all winter. So nice to see a shop run by true enthusiasts.

Great prices and excellent repair work. The owner is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to anyone from a very beginner to a seasoned pro.

One of the best bike shops in MA! Full of local character.
If you are looking for an honest mechanic look no further. Dave is the sole guy who runs the shop and he has the soul of a true biker.
Dave’s prices are often better than the competition and he can beat the internet prices on certain items too.
Come by if you want to talk bikes for an hour with someone who loves to ride as much as the next guy.
Dave won’t try to sell you the latest and greatest thing, instead he will work with you and your budget to get you a quality item. I’ve had him talk me out of going with a more expensive item when there is something cheaper that works just as well.
Small shop, but Dave has no problems with getting items to his shop right away.
He works on everything from XC bikes, to road bikes, to downhill bikes, to BMX bikes. Definitely check this shop out!

The guy who owns the place was really friendly and got my brakes replaced in no time.
I highly recommend this place!

You literally cannot go wrong with Rockland Cycles. As everyone else on this page has stated, Dave is any cyclist’s dream. He’s the most honest, down-​to-​earth, and knowledgeable mechanic you’ll ever meet.
When it was time for a new mountain bike, I spent weeks talking with him and trying out different bikes to find just the right one for my budget/​riding style and words cannot describe how happy I’ve been with the bike.
I did have an issue with a malfunction in the fork. Dave not only fixed it, but personally called the manufacturer and got them to give him the part free of charge to save me a bunch of cash.
I grew up in the area and started a cycling/​tri team at my high school which he actively sponsored, giving team members discounts on bikes/​gear. This was a HUGE help because, when getting high school kids into cycling, the investment of the bike is usually the biggest hurdle. He really helped us out in every way possible, contributing to the community as a whole.
Since he runs the shop himself, occaisionally it will take an extra day or two for him to finish working on my bike but the quality of service is so unbeatable, I don’t mind waiting at all.
Dave is a true friend and member of the local community. Whether you are a racer looking for high end custom wheels and pro-​level service or just someone who enjoys the occaisional spin, Dave will help you out and you will leave smiling.
I have tried almost all the shops in the surrounding area, and would never consider going anywhere else after I found «RRRRRRockland Cycles». (you’ll know what I mean if you call :)

I’ve been a customer of Dave’s off and on since 2003. I used to ride BMX, and bought many replacement parts from him, as well as receiving solid advice. I stopped riding my BMX bike seriously about 6 years ago (kids and all that), but recently wanted to get back on a bike. Dave remembered me by name even after not being a regular for several years. Dave sold me a 29″ Fuji mountain bike, and gave me some valuable pointers on my new bicycling adventure.
–The prices are spot on.
–The selection covers entry level, all the way up to some pretty expensive machines.
–Dave may not have a whole store full of expensive parts (it’s a small shop), but he knows his stuff, stocks the most common items/​parts, and can get you anything you want in a reasonable amount of time.
–Dave won’t sell you something you don’t need. I watched him try to talk a guy out of replacing a $ 1000 wheelset for his road bike, when all he needed was new bearings…
–There are always top-​notch, expensive bikes in the shop for service and upgrade. People (myself included) trust Dave’s high level of expertise.
–Dave is a RIDER. He has many bikes of his own (MTB and Road), and likely has a personal opinion of whatever part you’re asking about because he’s USED it.
Dave is a one man shop. Service can take a little while to complete, but rest assured that it is worth the wait.
I’m a life long customer. I will only shop at Rockland Cycle.

This is probably the best shop for service in Eastern Mass. Dave is awesome — very knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and always eager to talk about bikes. Plus, his prices are great, and turn-​around times are quick. Since it’s a small shop, there is limited bike and parts inventory, but he could probably order most anything. If you need service on your ride, there’s no reason to go anywhere else.

Great bike shop… Im new to the whole cycling world and that being said I really dont know anything about bikes IE when something breaks. The problem with most bike shops is they tend to be a bit rude to people who are newbies. If you fall into this category I really recommend you go here. The guy that works there is really helpfull and wont sell on something you really dont need (which is another problem with most bike stores I have been too). Turned out my bike just needed a simple adjustment and he sent me on my way. Defintly coming back if I need anything else for my bike. Five stars for sure.

A previous review described this place as a hidden gem which is a perfect description. I bought my first bike at one of the better known bike shops on the south shore. Overall a pretty decent experience but repairs and tuneups were pretty $$$ there. A friend told me about Rockland Cycle and I’ve been getting my bike serviced there since. I also bought another 2 bikes there and have referred several people. All of us have had a great experience. No question this is the best place to get your bike tuned up or serviced. And if you’re going to spend money on a new bike definitely shop around but make sure you stop in and talk to Dave. You’ll be happy you did.

I would like to add to the other amazing reviews…
Whenever we, or more importantly, my sons’ have issues with their bikes, they go straight to Dave. Dave’s level of service is A+. I have witnessed this on numerous occasions, he goes above and beyond, treating kids with dignity, taking the time to discuss their bikes, makes suggestions, etc., even when it is clear he is up to his eyeballs in work.
Goes without saying… we as a family highly recommend Rockland Cycle!

Whether you’re buying a $ 30 standard quick-​release front wheel (me) or custom-​built wheels worth hundreds (some other guy), the owner, Dave, treats you with equal care and attention.
It’s true that the inventory is small since it is such a tiny shop, but Dave CAN get you anything. And as an added bonus, he’ll always tell you if a cheaper product does the job just as well as a more expensive item.
Dave hand builds wheels under his name brand, Letourneau (his last name). They’ve been ridden in big-​name races all around the country, and apparently cost a fraction of some of the fastest wheels out there (so says Dave, though I do believe him).
Hidden gem, indeed!

Had a small wipe out last week. Could have been bad, but just the hanger for the derailer bent. Dave replaced it quickly, gave the bike an alignment. The bike is shifting better than is was prior to the wipe out. The price of labor and parts was very good. Thanks Dave!

This place is great! The owner Dave is knowledgeable about street riding and off road riding as well. He puts a lot of personal attention into each customer and is solid repairman. I recommend this shop to anyone that has or is looking for a bicycle.

Wow, what a great cycle shop. Not so much because of the inventory or the gear available, but because of the owner. It’s been a long time since I stopped into a shop where the owner is running the show AND happens to be a racer (cross-​country). He spent almost two hours talking about everything under the sun and gave me useful input on tires (he’s tried them all pretty much). I’ve never had someone whip out digital calipers and scales to give me an in-​depth analysis of a tire while simultaneously explaining how it performed in actual race conditions.
Rumor has it he’s quite the wheel builder and can cobble together great wheels for any purpose (by his own admission of course haha). However, two customers that wandered in confirmed that he’d built them good wheels and they were quite happy. Given his extensive workshop, stories, and his name plastered on many quality wheels throughout the shop I have no reason to doubt it.
Negatives? Well, it’s a small shop with limited bikes and inventory, but he assures you he can get whatever your heart desires for minimal costs if you need it. Other than this I’m really reaching.
In summary-​if you need a wrench to take care of your bike and you’re serious about cycling you need to seek this guy out. He officially gets my vote for «best bicycle shop to deal with» award for eastern Massachusetts.
