I was headed to Surf City for a week at the beach vacation. I wanted to ride my bike at the beach, but the new tires I ordered for my bike didn’t come in until the night before I left for the beach and I didn’t have time to swap them prior to my trip. I called City Bicycle Company and asked if I could drop my bike off on my way to the beach on Saturday and they let me drop it off. They told me it might be Tuesday or Wednesday before someone could get to my bike. I didn’t mind since I was dropping this on them at the last minute. To my surprise, someone from the shop called me first thing Monday morning and told me my bike was ready. Not only did they get my tires swapped very quickly, they set them up tubeless, which I wasn’t expecting, but was very glad they did. The price I paid for their level of service was phenomenal. I couldn’t be more pleased.
I’ve purchased 2 bikes from this shop and have consistently been treated with respect, and had all my questions answered. The shop owner, Warren is friendly and goes out of his way to provide outstanding customer service. I plan on continuing to have my bikes serviced at City Cycle, and highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a new set of wheels!
They helped me during a crucial time …. Thank you. And after the Ironman I’ll thank you more.
New to Wilmington, I needed a flat tire and safety review of my full suspension Polygon Siskiu mountain bike. I was so glad Katie (sp) answered the phone and agreed to fix and check my bike for me.To the rescue! I got a call from her saying the bike was ready to go and the price was incredible, thanks to my new hero Warren!!!He not only fixed the flat but he adjusted my brakes, cleaned it after a long day in the Brunswick Nature Park Mountain Bike Trail and tightened bolts I tried to tighten myself to help me lift/jump the bike over fallen trees!Thanks to Warren, it actually rides better than when I received it from the factory!!! Ill continue to seek out his help when he moves to the new place in Wrightsville Beach in a few weeks!!!
Purchased my dream bike over a year ago and have been thrilled with it and their service ever since. Warren at the Kerr Ave store is a great resource about bikes and does great work. Recently blew out my rear derailleur on the mountains of Browns Creek and had all kinds of problems finding parts. Warren pointed me in the right direction and after one false start (wrong part.. my fault) he took care of the installation and talked me off the edge as I (patiently waited) for the correct part to come in. Happy to recommend City Bicycle and especially Warren.
Im not even one to write reviews but I can’t recommend this place AT ALL l. Brought my bike in for a hanger and derailer repair and was told it’d be a quick fix. My bike sat in their shop for over a month, and the entire time no one once even tried to reach out to let me know any sort of updates. I had to personally call and text them to get any sort of update, and was told they were “looking up parts.” Finally had to call for the 4th time again was told they aren’t able to “find them anywhere.” To look up PARTS! Immediately took my bike across the street to 2 Wheeler Dealer and already set up to have it repaired in literally a week. Not to mention the guy that owns the shop wasn’t even wearing a damn mask. 0/10 experience, regardless of what this guy even tries to explain in a reply here.
Great shop with knowledgeable staff. Wide variety of high quality bikes on display and great overall service! Highly recommend!
I am a newbie to the cycling world, so forgive the non technical terms. I secret shopped the 3 bike shops in town, and City Bicycle Company was the only place that greeted me at the door, answered every question, and let me ride a few great bikes. Although I didnt purchase my bike from them, (due to buying from a friend) City Bicycle Co helped me with a great set of tires where the installed rate was nearly the online purchase. Soon I am going to have my bike fitted to my riding style, and they have offered a lot of great advice.
Awesome friendly guys. Very fairly priced and good customer service : ) Warren, did an awesome job getting my bike repaired in a timely manner. Support local bike shops!
The guy I talked to was friendly and all, but I took a bent 29er wheel here, guy told me that itll be ready the next day after 10am. Went back the next day and he told me the wheel was beyond repair and my only option was a used $150+ wheel.Went to Two Wheeler Dealer for a second opinion, and they fixed it in in 10 min for $15. He explained how the wheel was ok for easy commuting rides, but it probably couldnt handle any trail, but they also had a brand new replacement wheel for $99 in stock. Moral of the story, skip this place and go to Two Wheeler Dealer for repairs, is right around the corner.
This is more than a bike shop, it’s a family you want to be a part of, Matt, Warren and Mary are my mechanics and have sold me bikes for my entire family. They encourage and elevate your health and make it fun. When you walk into their shop you are a kid again. You must visit them and get on a bike you will not be disappointed. Check out the new Feather Weight Fat Tire bike custom built it is the lightest fat tire bike on the planet ...literally. The only bike shop you will ever need, love this place and the people who own it.
City Bicycle is a great place to rent bikes! My daughter and I recently stopped by to rent beach cruisers. Matt was super friendly; he set us up with just the right bikes for both of us, adjusting the seats to make sure we were good to go. We had a great time riding, and the bikes were in mint condition. Highly recommend City Bicycle!
Very courteous very informative yes I would buy a bike from
Thank you so so much for your kind service. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing repairs. I was able to call, come in and get service in a very timely manner. Awesome place, awesome people, and great prices!!
I can not recommend them! I wanted to support both bike shops during this pandemic. 700 dollars later, I have an adult tricycle that squeaks loudly, is unstable, constantly goes clickety clack, has a poor quality seat that feels flimsy and no basket. Poor customer service. Matt, the owner, is a bad listener and unfortunately, a poor memory. He is more interested in vacation than taking care of his customer. I chose poorly. I’m trading at Two Wheeler Dealer from now on.
I got there thinking of getting a bike,ended up getting one. That how good they are. Met Warren, what a dude. Loved his ride,it was pretty sweet. I could tell he was not just selling bikes,he loves bikes. Had the pleasure of meeting the owners too. Very passionate,humble and good at what they do. All in all I would recommend this place if you are trying to get a new bike.
My wifes cruiser bike developed a pretty bad wobble in the rear wheel. I called a couple of local bike shops and was told it would be a few days before I could get a repair made. Well I wanted the repair done sooner so I decided to try one more bike shop and I landed on City Bicycle in Wilmington, NC. I spoke to Matt and he advised me to bring my bike over and he would try to repair it in a few hours. Well to make a long story short, Matt repaired my bike in a couple of hours. I was so appreciative of the quick repair and courteous service. Im sold on this shop and will be using them for all my bicycle needs. Highly recommended!
Great shop super helpful. Good pricing
I came here off a recommendation looking to purchase my first road bike for Tri training, and I can’t say enough how happy I am with my purchase! I walked in and was greeted by Justin and Warren who both were very welcoming and very knowledgeable about bikes and what I needed as I am just starting out.Shoutout to the the owner, Allen for running a fantastic business! I will definitely be coming here for years and years to come!I highly recommend and highly respect and admire their hard work and dedication they put forth into customer service and the bikes they sell!Semper Fidelis
Matt, Mary and Warren really know bikes and how to get you into the right one. I bought a custom fat bike and couldn’t be happier. It is lightweight, fast and beyond fun. It flies on the sand, road and trails and is unbelievably comfortable.The service at this shop is terrific too.I am planning to go back next week to see them to get my fixie bike upgraded.
Great experience once again. I was expecting to leave the bike for several days to be repaired and Warren called before I got home and said I was all set. Exceptional service.
Warren was very knowledgeable, helpful, and generous. I needed my break pads fixed on my bike. I dropped it off on a Saturday and would not be able to pick it up until Tuesday because they are closed Sunday and Monday. He first offered to meet me somewhere after hours so that I would have it on Saturday, but I passed. When I arrived on Tuesday he remembered me, he brought my bike out washed with the repairs completed, and with a smile. He didnt charge me because he felt like I was inconvenienced (even though I wasnt). Such kindness. Excellent customer service! I will send anyone asking to City Bicycle for their cycling needs!!
My young daughter’s bike was making a racket coming from the hub of the rear wheel every time she pedaled it (not purchased from there). I called City Bicycle and they said to bring the wheel up real quick to look at it. They took the hub apart and figured out a part of the clutch/brake assembly was installed backwards! I wouldn’t have figured that out on my own. They had me in and out in ten minutes. No charge. Very nice and knowledgeable people they are. My next bike will come from them for sure. Thank you!
Very impressed by the service we received. I recently took my bike in for a tune up as it had been 3 years since I rode it and it had been stored in a shed in the SOBX. It was rather rusty, but its a Trek, so i knew it was worth fixing up. Turned out it needed a bit more work than expected but i told them to go ahead. When I went to pick it up, I was pleasantly surprised at what they charged me. I now have a like new bike that rides amazing!We will be back. And we are telling our friends. Thank you City Bicycle!
I went in there today & they were very pleasant and helpful. I needed my son’s seat put back on & it was done with no charge and a smile 😊. I recommend them as a go to for bikes 🚲 & I will be back to purchase my beach cruiser!
City bicycles has great customer service and strongly recommend them if you are looking to buy a bike or just need a tune up.
These people rock!!! I’m more than happy I picked them for the services I needed. I had a good amount of work done, and they completed it extremely fast. They were honest and their price was unmatched. No doubt they’re now the only bike shop I’ll be going to!
Attentive to customers needs/desires. Knowledgeable about the products, and helpful in making comparisons between options.
Matt Jones the owner driving a white Mercedes drives like a complete maniac flashing people to get out of the way, once you try to pass he swerved and speeds up, tries passing in the right lane and tailgates hardcore! If you see him please be careful and steer clear
They were awesome! Came in to get one bearing worked on and get a brake strap, and they went above and beyond. When I got my bike back, they had pretty much completely fixed it up and got it working better than it ever has. To top it all, it was very reasonably priced and they were very friendly and helpful.I will definitely be coming back here if I need anything done, and I would recommend them to anyone !
I have been planning to get a Fat tire bike for the beach and for the trails around here for almost 4 years. I was waiting for the right time and bike. My husband and I went in to City Bicycle several times. Matt has a selection of bikes we hadnt seen before. He was great at letting me ride several and gave us lots of information. He was very patient as I worked through my process over several months of deciding what would work for me. He said, My goal is to help you find the perfect bike for you the last time I was in. Well he did it! I finally decided on a bike he had there in stock, that I realized was the best one after looking at several others on line and in stores. I really appreciate his patience and his knowledge about bikes and up front attitude.
Warren is fantastic - runs the Wilmington store. Knows bikes as good as anyone and super responsive. Bought a Kona mnt bike from him, and he made it easy. Lifetime warranty, etc. so really hassle free.
Great customer service experience. Warren was highly professional and efficient servicing bikes while simultaneously answering all customers questions.
This was my second visit to City Bicycle Company and I couldnt be more pleased with the service I received. Both times I had tires what needed repair but Matt checked the bikes over and made sure they were safe to ride. Especially since one bike was for my 6 year old grandson! I will be back and highly recommend City Bicycle to anyone in need of a new bike or a repair of a bike.
Extremely nice and very helpful!! Woodie and I had a great experience!!! We will go back
Amazing and great quality bikes at a great price. Matt Jones is the nicest and most helpful man ever. He does all the research for you to find you the perfect bike for your needs and really cares about what you want. Overall a great experience and a great place to buy your next bike!
I decided to give City Bicycles a try due to previous reviews I read. I am very pleased by my choice. The customer service was great and the staff were all very friendly. My bike was finished in a very timely manner and I received a call to pick it up as soon as it was done. If you need any work done I would highly recommend utilizing this shop.
Good guys giving real advice that arent going to try and nickle and dime you. Appreciate the help fellas!
Just purchased a fantastic bike from City Bicycle. Matt went above and beyond helping my husband and me today. He was incredibly knowledgeable as well as friendly. He even helped us get the bike into the car. We will certainly be back to Matt (and his sweet puppy!) for all of our future bike needs!
Incredible store! Well-stocked with all kinds of very cool stuff! Misty is and was incredible, she spent over an hour showing my daughter differentbikes. she was very knowledgeable and provided outstanding customer service!
Went in to fix a flat tire and found the shop to be much more organized and decorated nicer than any other bike shop Ive visited. Matt was extremely helpful, worked very fast, and just genuinely seemed to enjoy working on bikes and engaging with the customers who came into the shop. Definitely going to come back here for every bike related fix/question I might have.
This place deserves 5 STARS! I called about 20 minutes before they opened, & the owner was very polite & helpful. I brought in my bike with a flat tire & was out of there in minutes. Excellent prices & very professional. Check out City Bicycle Company, you will not be disappointed.
Super friendly and knowledgable people! Good prices and excellent service. Went to the other place near by first where we spent 10 minutes without someone asking us if we needed any help. Then we decided to stop by at City Bicycle Co. and we could not be happier.They patently listened to what I wanted to achieve and gave their input to make sure I have all the information I needed to decide what to buy.They did not sell a bike, they helped me by one. Big difference for me.They also have a pre-owned section in case you are looking for quality and only have a smaller budget available.
Had my first experience with City Bicycle Company today and was very satisfied. My wife and I were in the market for a new bike and out of all the places we shopped, City Bike provided the best customer service and product for our budget. Matt was so friendly, he made us feel like we knew him. Honestly, we werent even planning on making the purchase today but he had the perfect bike for us. He knows his stuff when it comes to bikes and you can tell he is very passionate about biking and about providing a great experience. I will definetely be recommending city bike to my friends.Also, its awesome that he provides lifetime labor on repairs for bikes purchased from him! His competition only provides 1 year. Ill take the lifetime, please and thank you!
Great bike shop! Matt was very professional, personable, and honest with me trying to sell a custom bike and gave me suggestions on the best way to sell my bike to get good value for it. Would highly recommend! Shop looks awesome too.
Went to rent bikes. Matt stated they didnt have any but was willing to rent us bikes. We ended up running our of time and couldnt. Very straight forward guy. Has BEAUTIFUL, specialized builds. Will definitely return.
Shopping far and wide for a couple of beach bikes and this was the place we chose to make our purchase. Warren was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The bikes they sell and service with a lifetime warranty are top-quality cycles, not the low-end junk youll find at Walmart.
Thank you to City Bicycle Co. for helping me get my sons bike tuned up! They were very helpful and I will definitely shop here when looking for my next bike!
Top notch service....... I will be back .... thank you!
What a great first experience at the Wilmington location. Matt and Warren both were very helpful and knowledgeable about my bike and fixed it with no wait. They were helpful, kind, and informative. Will definitely go back for all my future bike needs.
My wife and I brought in our rear Rolf wheel of our tandem bicycle because the cassette wasnt spinning. Matt (The owner and bicycle guru) not only fixed it that day, but also made the hub and Cassette spotless. Our tandem is riding like new. Matt and Mary were absolutely the best. There is no doubt that this is our new bicycle shop whenever we are in Wilmington. Thank you!
I’m going across America on Adventure Cycling Atlantic route, I stopped by this shop to have my chain clean. They did a pressure wash my cassette and then replaced my chain in such a short notice. The final result was great and I’mvery happy. Thank you.
Awesome bike shop! I came in for directions for the city trail and Matt not only gave me an actual map but he also noticed that my bike seat was all jacked up and he fixed it for me! Great mom pop bike shop! Check them out!
I came to City Bicycle when I was having trouble installing a new seat on my bike. The staff was incredibly friendly and immediately offered to take a look at my bike. The staff not only helped put my new seat on and adjusted it, but assured I knew how to adjust it in the future. The great service I received deemed a review necessary. I will definitely return to City Bicycle.
Had a great experience today! Came in with a flat tire and they showed me how to fix it properly for any future blow outs! Service was great and I can’t wait to go back!
Very friendly and knowledgeable. They encouraged me to try several bikes and sizes until I found one that fits my need. The treated me as if I was the only thing they had to deal with that day. Great product and experience.
Matt and team did an amazing job helping us choose a fat tire bike for my husband. They went through all types of information, were very friendly and no pressure. They had us try different bikes to make sure we had the right fit. At the end, we both left with a bike. Thank you City Bicycle.
Met Matt and Mary and what nice folks they are. I had a couple of bikes That needed some very minor adjustments. Matt took them in and made the necessary adjustments in less than 20 Minutes. He offered not to charge me anything but I insisted on paying him and finally convinced him to take $20.00. I seldom use bike shops as I am pretty handy with things like that. However, I will be taking my bikes back to City Bicycle company and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs bicycle repair.
Had a hole in my inner tube. Called, they got me right in and installed a new one for a exceptionally good price. I will continue to do business with them.
It was my first time ever in a proper bike shop and the owner Matt was super nice and knowledgable about bikes he even warned me and said I might need to replace my chain soon will definitely be coming back.
This place is fantastic! The gentlemen are super helpful and friendly. The store has a pretty large selection too. Go check this place out if youre a bike enthusiast or just starting out, it has it all.
I drove up opened my truck door and was immediately greeted by an associate, walked inside City Bicycle and was pleasantly greeted by a sweet dog named Meeko. Then greeted by the staff. Matt is a professional and a master at his craft. Matt and his beautiful associate went to work on my bike and fixed it up in a flash like the speed of a Nasa crew. I got an excellent deal on the repairs. You cant go wrong with City Bicycle they get my highest rating.
Ill never buy a bike anyplace else. I searched the entire country to find someone to build me the bike I wanted. Finally I found City Bicycle and my dream bike became a reality.What an exceptional experience. Ive never been happier with an experience. Thank you.
Spectacular service, knowledge and people. Matt and the staff really know everything about bikes and they make you feel like family.If only every store treated their customers this well!Dont go anywhere else.
Good service, owner was really nice sometimes hosts bike rides to downtown or Wrightsville beach
Great shop to have your bike repaired. Customer service is their top priority. The owners were very helpful guiding us to trails and locations. I will be going here for all of my cycling needs when in Wilmington.
Matt was more than accommodating with me. I got a very fair deal on a used Trek. The attitude that he has is amazing and very appreciated. Will be dealing with them again. Thank you
Timely maintenance, clean workspace, great prices. My new #1 bike shop in the Wilmington area.
The staff at City Bicycle Co. helped fit me to my bike and made some necessary adjustments. I had bought a road bike online, and I put it together myself so I was unfamiliar with the process. They provided thisservice for free, which appears to be unheard of around here. Thanks a lot guys, I truly appreciate it.
Lent me a $20 crank removal tool truly nice people great merchandise good prices overall best experience youre crazy if you dont shop at this bike shop!Thanks again!
They are really the very best Out of many bike shops in Wilmington Nc. Im very thankful and appreciative of there service and fixing and replacing my bike tire tube. Without them i would have no transportation to work. I will be seeing them again soon. God Bless ❤️
He was able to turn my road bike with flat bars into a legitimate time trial bike. He did so at a phenomenal result and in an timely fashion. I highly recommend this shop
Amazing service. Professional staff. Will come back visit you all anytime I need. Thank you !
CIty Bicycle Company is the best in town! The shop is set up great and you can look around and see how much they really care about what they are doing. The City Bicycle Company is filled with real cyclists who care about getting your bike back to you in the best condition possible.
Thank you Matt! He helped me find a small and inexpensive piece for my surly that nobody else wanted to deal with. He is a good man and a great sole propietor. Big Props to this small independent shop!
Great service! early 9a.m. got tire tube in tire. helpful & good pricing!fast & efficient. I recommend this bike shop!
Matt has been so great helping get my old beach cruiser working like new with some tune ups! Thank you so much for everything!
Found City Bicycle this past week when the pedal fell off my bike in the middle of a ride. I am new to the Wilmington area and am lucky that they were right around the corner. The staff was very friendly and helped get my pedal reattached in no time at all. Will definitely be back!
Matt could not have been more helpful, even offered to lend me a tool. This is the kind of service and style of doing business we are losing far too fast. Give this guy a try!
I dont write reviews ever, but City Bicycle company was fantastic. The owner was very nice and knowledable. I was not looking to buy a bike that day but the deals were good, and the owner was very personable. He offers free lifetime service on his bikes and he made me feel confidant in my purchase of a new bike. Would recommend!
Amazing experience. Went in to get my brakes fixed on my hybrid bike, Matt said it just needed an adjustment, which he did in 5 minutes along with oiling my chain and fixing a front fork wobble. Only thing he asked for in return was a smile and a handshake. I will be returning for all my future bike needs.
Matt is a nice guy with a lot of knowledge about bikes. I bought some tires from him and he adjusted my rear brake for free without me asking. He seems like he cares about his customers enjoying time on their bikes.
My friend recommended this place. I placed a call to the owner and had a tube replaced. Good business, even greater people.
This Place is great, best customer services and the repair was quick and efficient . I left my nephew s bicycle on Thursday 7/6/17 at 6:30 PM and was ready next day early in the morning, the price was good, affordable for me, labor and materials included .... thanks Mr. Matt Jones and Mrs Mary for your attention and help, you are very kind people, as a Hispanic Person I was surprises how I was treated and I want to say MUCHAS GRACIAS . I would definitely recommend this business to my Hispanic friends. Thank You So Much..... my nephew is happy with his bicycle again. GOD BLESS YOU ...
The guy (owner) Matt is not professional I tried to help him out, he is very rude and shady he doesnt pay well and expects to get something from nothing fair is fair wrong is wrong I believe I did a great job and was treated like trash. Customer or worker treat people fairly.
Fixed my bike same day! They were really nice and explained what was wrong with my bike and didnt charge me for stuff not wrong with the bike! Honest bike shop not trying to oversell anything!
I went in one day to see if they have Surly bags because they are listed as a dealer, and I want to support local shops. They dont carry any stock, but they can get them. I had them order one even though I could have it delivered to my door for the same price. I went back in after they called me, and they charged me 125% of the retail price. I wont be back.
Matt and Mary are experts. They are quality people and will tell you what you need for all your bicycle needs. Would not recommend any other place. They are the best.
Owner was super nice and helpful and they host free bike rides
Matt was very friendly and helpful with my bike. Overall great service!!!! Everyone should check out City Bicycle Company.
Great service, helping me keep my 20+ year old bike road worthy. Definitely an asset to Wilmingtons cycle community.
Been enjoying getting back on the trails thanks to City Bicycle Company. Great deal on my new Salsa Bucksaw and excellent service on the whole families cycles.
Excellent service, friendly, honest and fast repair at a great rate. Highly recommend!
Great service, good old fashion mom and pop shop. Matt and Mary run a tight ship, great people.
Excellent service, willing to work with me to get my bike fixed. Quick/easy.
These guys are amazing! Dont go anywhere else
Great and fast service. I had a flat and I was In and out in 10 minutes
They are the BEST! Super knowledgeable and very kind.
