We LOVE Sidecountry Sports! They sold me my first mountain bike (Norco Storm 4) and just recently converted it to a 1X, upgraded components and tires. It is virtually a brand new bike; that is now so much more fun to ride. I enjoy biking, but dont know anything about the technology. They were able to set me up with exactly what I was looking for and completed the work quickly to get me back on the trail. They work well as a team and really know their stuff. It is obvious that they enjoy what they do at Sidecountry Sports. I highly recommend checking them out, whether you are looking into a new bike, or upgrading one you already own. You will be happy you did.😀

In crazy times, Harvey helped us!With every shop backed up due to Covid backlogs, Harvey installed some parts and tuned my bike to sing, getting rid of those pesky alignment issues. Super qualified, friendly, timely, service!

My rack failed and I lost my Specialized 29 Rock Hopper on the second day of a 6 week vacation.I searched every town we were in from Seneca Lake NY to Bar Harbot. I happened upon Side County and they had the exact XL bike I was looking for! They did not mark up their prices, they put on my new peddles at no charge, and did an excellent job! Great guys in the store also!

Matt was awesome very knowledgeable and I say this as a past bootfitter myself at one of Colorados flagship retailers. If you need ski boots go here and ask for Matt and do yourself a favor and get some dfp custom footbeds for christ sake.Thanks again Matt,Cheers

Wonderful staff members that dont try to up-sell every little thing all at once. Loved being able to figure and talk bikes, while finding a new addition to my bikes! Thank you soooo much!

Second bike purchased through SS and strongly recommend them. They are knowledgeable, patient, and generous with their time. Plus, they anticipated the spike in demand and still have stock. Will return to them for additions in the future.

Outstanding bike shop! Andrew, Harvey and the rest of the crew are top notch, knowledgeable and no pressure. When looking for an ebike for my in Waterville, the shop could care less she was there, let alone bought a bike. In turn, Andrew spent a good half hour talking to her about the bike she was interested in. We came back a few weeks later and bought her bike. For us, it is worth the drive to Rockland, 1.5 hours away and be able brouse and chat bikes and trails with such a good crew. We even had a cousin come from out of state to here for his bike.

This is a great full service bike shop. Ive rented bikes, shopped bikes and bike accessories, and had bike repairs done here. They are friendly, knowlegeable, and well staffed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew, the owner of the shop who took care of my German Riese and Muller E-bike. After 2,300 miles on the bike, it was time to replace the cassette and chain while I was on vacation.It was very easy to make an appointment online for a curb side drop off. The COVID 19 measures are excellent. Everyone is wearing a mask and keeping distance. The consultation takes place outside at a table in front of the shop.The repair was done swiftly and Andrew took his time to explain in detail what repairs were needed.The service was of the highest order. I am going to plan my next holiday such that it coincides with my next annual bike tune up. It is worth the drive from Washington DC to Rockland 😀If you need a bike repair or are looking for a new bike, I can highly recommend Sidecountry Sports. The place is a gem.

I absolutely loved my experience at Sidecountry Sports. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They didnt try to upsell or pressure me at any point in my experience. I would highly recommend purchasing your next bike from SCS!

Local shop whos employees are the kindest and most knowledgable youll meet. Best customer service Ive received in a bike/ski shop. The midcoast is beyond lucky to have Sidecountry and the amazing crew that work there. You wont be disappointed.

Customer service was good enough but I did not like seeing a door bell, locked door and being asked if I had an appointment. This is extremely ridiculous and way beyond the governors ridiculous covid restrictions there is no need to exceed them.

Recently purchased a Salsa Timberjack when mid-priced mountain bikes were hard to find, especially XS frames. They did a great job keeping a good inventory while also providing incredible customer service. My bike purchase was easy, quick and enjoyable. The staff is very knowledgeable and great in answering all my questions! Highly recommend!

This place is pretty freaking great. They offer some of the better gear in the area for outdoor recreation. The service has always been outstanding and super helpful. The presentation is nice. They offer a wide variety for a small building. I would like to see them in a larger building just because they offer so much great stuff. They do some cool events as well like go to the snow bowl in Camden. If you are into biking or want to get into it, this is a prime location to get your gear and information.

One of the best retailers in any category Ive ever shopped with. The staff is what makes this place special - everyone that Ive talked to, whether on the phone or in person, has been nice, professional, and very informative. I brought my primary bike to them to have the drive-train changed and they worked with me on different options without once making me feel like I was wasting their time or not spending enough money to be important. They were patient and actively listened, and I have a much better understanding of whats going on with my bike than I did before. Another nice thing is they are very digital friendly - you get a quote emailed to you with a detailed breakdown of what is needed/recommended and a follow up phone call shortly after. If the person who created your quote is busy when you call back they can pull up your service order and go over it with you. They also just added the ability to pay via email or text - its quick, easy, and secure. Its the kind of place that makes you feel good about giving them your money.

I highly recommend Side Country Sports in Rockland, Maine. I purchased a Salsa Journeyman 650B from Side Country Sports. In the current Covid-19 situation, I communicated entirely through the website and via text and phone and then picked up the bike curbside. Andrew is very knowledgeable and the specific bike and also the various add ons are perfect for my application. Curbside pickup at the store was fast and easy, and Matt made some quick fit adjustments. Great bike shop! 👍👍👍

Sidecountry is top notch. The staff is great - a perfect combination of quality, service and expertise. Their free bike demo days at the Snow Bowl are proof that theyre committed to helping you find the right fit. I cant recommend them enough.

I called them with a concern about my front derailleur on an older bike that I didnt purchase from them. I brought it in and not only did they fix it, but also explained and taught me how to properly use the trim adjustment. They will have my business from now on.

The expertise and dedication this staff has to getting it right for their customers is astonishing. When I compare my experiences at Sidecountry to those at Evo, REI, etc., the difference is night and day. Total boutique experience; highly recommended.

Bad customer service. Call them and asked if they had something. They said yes. He never told me its by appointment only. Walked in the rain. All i wanted was a bike chain breaker. He would not even help me. I have to wait until im told my order is ready. Hello.. its a 10 dollar part in a package. Could of got it in 2 seconds but no. He was to busy with appointments. There was no one there. Zero stars if i could

When I bring my old bike in for a tune up I do not want to be sold a new bicycle. This is why I will continue to choose Sidecountry. Their upfront estimates are very accurate and the work is top rate, the staff are knowledgable and friendly. And if I ever do buy a new bike, I will likely be ordering it through Sidecountry Sports.

I had a great experience renting a road bike this weekend. The attention to getting a good fit, making sure I had a good route planned and setting the bike up with good safety gear was impressive. Ill be back on my next visit to Rockland!

Sidecountry family was more than happy to fit me to the correct bike. I had a couple of trials and tribulation, learning about my bike and riding but they went out of their way to not only teach me but correct my deficiencies. My transition to cycling has been a pleasure, thanks to them. Ill be back, Im addicted.

My husband has been skiing for eighty -five years, yep, eighty-five years. He had the best ski boot fitting of his life at Sidecountry. It was transforming and he claims he is carving turns like he used to in his younger years of his seventies.
