Reviews
"Absolutely fantastic experience purchasing a bike from this local shop! Found the perfect bike listed on Facebook Marketplace and decided to check it out in person. The bike was exactly as described, and the transaction was smooth and hassle-free. Communication with the staff was quick and excellent, they were very accommodating and answered all my questions promptly. The service provided was above average - they even helped me with some adjustments before I left. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely return to this bike store for any future needs. Highly recommended!"
"Very, very belated thanks Taro for getting our family bikes tuned up and running like they were new before our big move. You are such an exceptional professional and wonderful individual to work with. We can not recommend you and your bike services enough for literally everyone! Thank you, Taro! We so appreciate you! Mary & Jamie"
"I am very happy I found Taro. My friend at work made the recommendation. I inherited an old Raleigh, 55 plus years is my guess. Manufactured in England. It was in decent shape, but Taro made it like new, off the production line. He stripped off obsolete electric components, tuned it up, made it safe, and cleaned and polished the entire bicycle. Taro is very skilled. It takes a deep skill set to work with the old technologies of decades past. We also shared some great conversation. Honestly, it was like working with a friend I trust. Go to Taro for all your bicycle needs. I've tried others, but Taro is now my guy. Harry Clark"
"I have an old bike that really needed drastic TLC. I hesitated going to a premium bike shop because I thought I wouldn't be taken seriously. Fortuitously, I happened on RLB Cycleworks off Park Ave. I met Taro who was warm and friendly. We chatted as I looked at some refurbished bikes he had for sale (the prices definitely fit my budget!). Taro encouraged me to bring in my old bike so he could evaluate it. Long story short, Taro tuned-up and repaired my bike and he turned it around within a couple days (I think he must have put in some o.t. to help me out). I have my wheels back and my first ride made my heart very happy! So if you need a bike tune-up or repair, I highly recommend RLB Cycleworks. Good prices, good work, and friendly service. And if you're in the market for a nice refurbished bike, check out what RLB has to offer. Had repairing my bike been impractical or uneconomical, there was a nice blue one that I had my eye on..."
"I have been using RLB Cycleworks for about 4 years now! Taro is great and my bike with his tuneups allow me to drastically increase my speed for riding! I cannot recommend him enough great work and super accommodating! Thanks Taro"
