This is a great bike store with very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff. I lived in State College for a year and rode my bike to work most days, which was a new endeavor for me. They outfitted me with everything I needed, explaining various features and gear with expertise. Their service turn-around is pretty quick and reasonable. If you buy your bike at the store, you will get a discount for everything else you buy(not just at the first visit, either). The prices are reasonable and though you may be able to find things cheaper online, the extra knowledge to help you make an informed decision is well worth the price. Also the dog that is sometimes there is super cute.

This is the type of bike shop that all other bike shops should aspire to. They take care of their customers. They will take the time to swap out a stem and make all reasonable adjustments before you take a bike out for a test ride. No BS, just good service. They primarily carry QBP bikes such as Salsa and Surly. They have a spattering of other stuff such as Trek. All the bikes they sale are top notch. They focus on commuters and mountain bikes. I’m more than happy to drive an hour and a half when I’m in W. PA visiting my parents, just to support this excellent store.

Whenever I have a problem with my bikes they fix it in a timely manner and with a smile. The fees are reasonable as they are associated with manual labor. For me they fulfill their mission according to expectation and are hard workers. For anything bike related you ought to pay them a visit.

I like all of the bike shops in town. But if you need really expert Mtb maintenance this is the place to go.(They have the maintenance area right in plain view… just like a restaurant where you can see the cooks cooking, it is slways a good sign!) Staff is friendly and prices are very fair.

These guys know what they’re doing, very knowledgeable and charge fair prices. Trying to get to the location can be a pain if you’re driving but that’s anywhere downtown. I’ve visited some of the other bicycle stores in State College and Freeze Thaw is at the top of my list when it comes to customer service and prices. Make sure to pet the dog when you visit.

I really don’t know much about bikes, but I use mine for commuting and have needed occasional repairs. I’ve been treated fairly and respectfully here. First walked in expecting them to look down on a clueless, non-hardcore bike commuter. Nothing of the sort. The man who helped me took time to show me, and explain, what all the parts were, what might be damaged on my bike, and how much it might cost to fix(depending on the problem, which they could not see without working on it). The bike was fixed same day, and the cost was right in the ballpark estimated. I highly recommend this shop. Close to campus and right downtown, so you can easily pick your bike up after work/school.

If you looking to rent a mountain bike they have some serious bikes for rent. They also have a great discount program once you buy a bike you get a discount on accessories for the life of the bike(this is better than the other bike shops in town) They also have a very consultative approach. Once you buy your bike the relationship is not over. They will work with you to make wise decisions wether you want to do it yourself maintenance or have them do it. Go to this shop if you want a sweet bike. They have some great brands that you will not see at the every day shops. If you want a one of a kind bike or a stock bike and great service this is the shop for you.

Knowledgeable staff and great supporter of the local cycling scene. The owner is very approachable and genuinely listens to the customer. I took a bike there to switch out the frame, among other things. The service was top notch, the price was reasonable, and they gave me discounts for the old parts on the bike that they could use again. Great bike shop with a solid, local feel.
