Reviews of Rochester Cycling
I came in with my two little girls to get a chain for my husband’s bike. The staff was more than helpful with what I needed and interacting with my girls! I truly appreciated how tentative the staff was with my girls. On the way out my daughter said she wants to get her next bike there! Thank you Rochester cycling for making my task a little easier and more fun!
Last summer I started looking for a new bike and I decided on a Marin Presidio 3. I contacted all the Marin dealers here in the Twin Cites and no one had a clue when they might be able to get one. I tried again in late winter to no avail, I contacted Rochester Cycling and they said that they could get one, not only could they get one, they tracked the container that it was on. I absolutely love this bike and I am very please with the level of service I was treated with.
Home town store where you get very good service. It's nice to know that your local bike shop cares about bikers and biking more than just getting sales!! Also they have great selection and friendly staff.
I find the staff to be really helpful and understanding. The service I get on my bikes is reliable and timely. And I like that I'm supporting a local business. I'm always happy to do business here. :-)
I have bought several bikes from Rochester Cycling over the last 30 years. Never been disappointed. Excellent customer service and resource regarding cycling needs.
I brought my front wheel in for a new tire and tube. They were very happy to come and help, and the prices were very reasonable for the repair. I had them replace the back tire last year, and the turn around time was quick and the bike shifts and rides wonderfully. I highly recommend them for all bicycle needs.
This is hands down the best place in Rochester to buy a bike. Great service and fair prices. I have bought all my families bikes here and have been very happy.
I'm a casual bicyclist but I purchased my first serious (expensive) bicycle from Rochester Cycling at the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was a bit apprehensive making a large purchase while being unfamiliar to the bike world but the staff at Rochester Cycling made me feel cared for. Workers took less than a day to get my bike built. I ordered my bicycle via the website and found it easy to use, and appreciated the option to pay with my credit card in person. I highly recommend the store for cyclists of all levels.
After extensive research, I was happy (and lucky) to find the Ebike I wanted at Rochester Cycling. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable with a no pressure & laid back style. Can’t imagine a better place to make sure your bike fits you comfortably and reliably. When I need a tune-up I know where to go!
Matt has always been very pleasant and helpful discussing anything technical concerning my bicycle. I very much appreciate his insight especially his mechanical skill. PS: He'll talk about anything else too. :)
Our school started a scooter program and I wanted to ensure that kids who didn’t have helmets at home were able to receive one to participate. Rochester cycling was the first to respond and donated two beautiful helmets. They were very friendly and more than happy to help out the local community! I will for sure keep them in mind for our future biking needs.
Matt helped modify my usedTrek Speed Concept triathlon bike so that it fit me perfect. I would highly recommend Rochester Cycling for all your bicycling needs.
Great selection of bikes. Competitive prices, wonderful customer service.
Matt is a former racer so he knows everything about riding, and he's a great mechanic and super knowledgeable about every part on a bicycle-
Pleased to have found this place, having just moved to Rochester. Matt and his team took their time to talk through any works I wanted done on my bike. They were honest, knowledgeable and never rushed.
I also walked around the shop and found their prices to be pretty reasonable. More importantly, the team provide the rare kind of service that will keep me going back to this brick and mortar joint whenever possible instead of shopping online.
Excellent t service from the awesome crew at Rochester Cycling.
Although I know my way around a bicycle a little, yet not being an expert my any measure of the word, the crew at Rochester Cycling did not make me feel like I was a dummy and so t belong cycling at all.
They were patient and provided me with the best options for my budget.
They also had the bike ready in less time than what they originally estimated. Nice work!
I had a very positive experience buying my bike. The sales person was knowledgable about fit and different styles of all the bikes on the floor. And there are a lot of bikes on the floor! Many different makes and models, several lines of electric ones too. I plan to go back in a month for a special birthday present...
Quality bicycles and related products. All employees are knowledgeable about bikes and cycling in general and are great guides to find what suits your needs and preferences.Great at performing repairs, replacements, tune-ups. Comfortable atmosphere in the shop, always welcoming to customers. Provide good information and guidance, not heavy "sales" pressure. Recognize "cyclists" come in all sorts of levels of experience, ages, fitness and ability levels.
I've bought 2 bikes from them over past 15 years. An aluminum and a carbon. And they've done adaptations on handlebars for each, as I'm a 65+ cyclist. Great place! Highly recommend to friends and relatives!!
Thank you so much for the great service! I was visiting from out of town and needed a quick fix on my bike. Not only was Rochester Cycling the most affordable place I called, they were also willing to do the work right away and get my bike back to me the next day. I also bought a couple of accessories and they put them on my bike at no charge. However, the best part of my experience was the store employees. I was greeted immediately, asked a few times if I was being helped (when I was browsing), and every person I talked to was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great experience Rochester Cycling!
Unparalleled service. A glass shard interrupted a ride with a new bike at Gamehaven. Brought the bike in and they had me back on the trail in no time.
The owner was very helpful in showing us the different types of bikes. We selected 2 pedal assist bikes: Gazelle Ultimate T10 and are very happy with them.
Best bike shop in Rochester! The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and take the time to listen to what you need. I recently had a lot of work done on one of my bikes, and also had a new bike assembled for my wife. Work was done in a timely manner and the price was great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Your employees were very friendly and yet respected the physical distancing necessary during these times of corona virus. The turn-around time for dropping off my bike for a tune-up and the completion time was excellent! Your sales person was very helpful over the phone in helping me buy a bike helmet as well. It was great to get the helmet, new battery for odometer and tune-up all in one fell swoop! I’m so grateful your business continues to be open during the COVID-19 ordeal. Biking is essential for our physical and mental well-being!!!
Great Service, Greeted immediately when you walk into the store and always have someone to chat with one on one to figure out what is the best fit for you, I recently bought a Jarmis Bike from them about 2 weeks ago, Going back soon to get more addons for it. Only downside is that the floors are very squeaky, everywhere you walk just *squeak, squeak, squeak* Lol!
Clear, friendly questions answered and advice from Matt on sizing, etc. Clear pricing - same as from manufacturer. No pressure sale. Quick and convenient install of accessories.
Very nice bike shop. Broad range of quality bikes and accessories. Quality service and repair shop. Staff are friendly and helpful; they take time to explain purchase and repair options.
Independently owned, good service and reasonable prices. We have bought bikes, accessories, and had them serviced here since 2004! Rochester Cycling is the first place we look for anything we need for biking for our whole family.
My experience at Rochester Cycling was excellent. I was searching for a specific bike and Rochester Cycling was the only location in MN with it in my size. The process was very smooth -- they had the bike ready for me to test ride when I arrived. I worked with Andrew and he demonstrated the best ways to get on/off the bike (first time with drop bars!). After the test ride, he ensured I had all the things I wanted/needed (lights, bike lock, water bottle cage, etc.) -- making recommendations along the way. I ended up selecting a different bike seat and we went back outside for another test ride to ensure it was the right fit and Andrew adjusted the height, as well. Overall, I definitely felt like I got personalized service, which resulted in confidence in my new bike & accessories. I've already recommended this shop to many friends and will continue to do so. Thank you, Rochester Cycling!
I went to Rochester Cycling looking for a bike for my 6 yr daughter. They had a great selection to choose from that included quality and price. They are not pushy at sales either but rather they are there to answer your questions. Great experience. Thanks again.
This is a great bike shop. They pay attention to what their customers want, offer great service and are super helpful for all things bike related. I ride through all weather, and Matt has offered so many helpful suggestions to improve the winter riding experience. These guys know bikes, ride avidly, and are really nice people to boot.
To say I have had an excellent experience with Rochester cycling and Matt is an understatement. He has gone above and beyond with his quick response to any issue I have had with my initial bike & later with another bike after the first was stolen (probably only 10 hours after he had gotten it is ready to ride!) He is very responsive to issues and very understanding. I highly recommend him and his team there at Rochester Cycling.
Rochester Cycling is my go-to bike shop. They are knowledgeable, professional, provide fast service, and have better prices than the competition. Highly recommended!
I’ve done almost all my bike purchases at Rochester Cycling for the last 10 years and I’ve never been disappointed with their service. RC gets an A+ for their attention to detail and making sure all of their maintenance is done right. I highly recommend them for their quality bikes and service.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful! It has been my go to LBS for the last ten years and I have purchased three bikes from there.
Excellent service! We got there close to closing time, but the guys took their time and made sure the derailleur adjustments were right before we left the shop. The bike shifted perfectly after being adjusted by the mechanics at Rochester Cycling.
Matt was extremely knowledgable and patient. Answered a slew of our questions without making us feel dopey. He made time to get our bikes ready for pick-up the very next day.
I stopped in on Friday about 30 minutes before closing. Excellent customer service. They had a used bike and it was exactly what I was looking for. He went out of his way to check it over and get everything perfect before I left with it. Great service and prices. I will definitely be back.
I am new at Cycling and have had the same bike since I was about 12, fast forward a few years and now at 29 I realized it might be time to upgrade. My knowledge is very low in the cycling department and I walked in hoping to find some help. Josh dropped everything he was doing at the time today and was excellent at explaining everything to me. He took the time to show me all my options, low end all the way up to high end, explaining the main differences to me. He was never pushy trying to get me to spend more than I needed. I've read reviews on here where people felt they were made fun of for having a bike from Target or Walmart; mine was from Fleet Farm way back in the day and there was no feeling of being mocked for having that or still using it. Just the mutual understanding that it no longer fits my needs. He was very respectful and again took the time to properly fit me to the bike. I have not made a purchase yet, but he did get one on order to try out so now I'm just waiting for the call for when it arrives. The store was clean and organized. I'd recommend Rochester Cycling to anyone that doesn't necessarily know much about the field yet, I was very happy with my first time experience there and all my questions were answered!
They helped us get the right fit for our E Bikes. We bought our bikes at Eriks in the cities. Wished we would of bought them here. Eriks should send their sales folks here for training. Won’t ever go anywhere else and we live near Hudson Wi
I just want to give a shout out to Matt and his team for their exceptional service and attention to detail! We have been buying bikes and shopping at Rochester Cycling and Fitness for over 15 years. They are honest and take very good care of us! If you need anything bike related this is the place for you.
This store is amazing. Talk of great service. Bike nerds with a knack for patience. Took my husbands MTB for service and fixing. Matt walked up to us and was so helpful. Took his time and gave us options and realistic timelines to get the replacement parts. We then looked around , we are in need of gear and nutrient replenishments. He advised of the next shipment. We talked bikes and he did a search and provided us with technical comparisons and recommendations based on our biking experience and needs. I’ll definitely be coming back to Rochester Cycling.
This store felt like home. Reminded us of our home store in Woodland Hills, CA.
Love this bike shop. As a new rider the staff was really patient with me in helping me find a bike that fit my riding style and needs. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly and they took the time to answer the plethora of questions I asked without any condescending attitudes that I experienced at the other shops in town. They have a great selection of bikes for all ages. After test riding a bike, I realized the bike I wanted was not something they had in my size in stock. However, the staff ordered the bike and had it ready for me a few days. Great job! It's a smaller store so they don't have a large assortment of other bike related products, but the staff/owner is ready to make recommendations for items that they have both instock and in the "wearhouse".
Excellent and timely service for the purchase of a new bike along with servicing two additional bikes. Helpful and friendly staff who treated us with the upmost of appreciation for our business. I highly recommend and have been coming here for over 15 years.
Went in for some maintenance on an old bike I use for commuting, and the staff was extremely helpful in deciding what to replace and what not to. They were honest, knowledgeable, and polite. Understandably, they were busy with a lot of bikes in for tune-ups and quoted that they would be complete with the work in two weeks and that was exactly when I picked up my bike. I would recommend coming into Rochester Cycling - whether it's for routine maintenance or for purchasing a new bike!
I worked with Jack to get a few high priority items addressed with my old ten speed before the holiday weekend. Jack is a super nice, professional and friendly technician. Matt helped me track down some hard to find items to put on my old bike. Highly recommend this shop!
Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff. Always willing to put in the extra mile to get it done (emergency repairs, advice, product selection, warranties, even deals). Have had years of fantastic experiences and always recommend to people looking for a local bike shop. Nine thumbs up!
Avid biker -- moved to Rochester from the Twin Cities and I was very excited to find this shop and meet the folks that run it! The owner and staff are very friendly, experienced, and easy to talk to. They stock affordable bicycle accessories and components, as well as more specialized gear for the bike-nerds like myself. The shop has a modern atmosphere, and free coffee is always a plus!
I brought an 83 year old dementia patient in to look at bikes this afternoon. Travis was amazing, working with him and letting him ride around the store. As a caregiver, one of the biggest complaints from my clients, is how service people over look them and consult with the caregiver instead of them, when they're out. Travis focused his attention on my client, who was so grateful for for all his help.
Rochester Cycling helped find an alternate frameset for my custom build from other shops when the one I wanted from Trek was recently discontinued and not available. Thanks Matt!
Favorite bike store in town. Customer service is like none other - you'll be treated with outstanding kindness and genuine care for your cycling needs. Never had a store as great as this!
They were able to get my road bike working great despite it's advanced age.
Very reasonable shop that tuned my bike up and got it back to me in 6 days during their busy spring season. They have lots of good riding accessories too.
Just went in no appointment with my grandsons bike that we did not buy there. We were in a hurry and they started to fix his front breaks right away. We were out of there in no time. Friendly, great service, reasonably priced. They saved me a huge headache and I can’t recommend them enough. Thanks guys - Mike Mikkalson
I came to this bike shop with an emergency cycle issue; my pedal was stripped from the crank and the bike was not ridable. I came to the store close to before they closed to get it fixed. They fixed it right away, even though it took them until 20 minutes after their closing time.
Have been a customer/friend for over 15 yeard. Always had good, competent service; good advice on parts and accessories needed; and a fair deal on bike purchases. And what they sell is always top quality.
Went in looking for a Shamino twist shifter for a bike, they looked for the exact part didn't have it, then offered to order, or convert the bike to lever shifter for high mid low range. The lever shifter, and new handle bar grips cost about a little over 30 dollars but worked better then the factory parts. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and knew where the inventory was or might be. Store appeared well maintained at first glance.
Matt and his crew are amazing. They are so personable and knowledgeable. Definitely the best cycling store in town. Thanks for taking care of us over the years!
Quality products and sound advice! Everyone who helped me was knowledgeable and patient. They truly wanted me to find the right bike for me. I am very happy with my purchase!
My son bought a used bike from Rochester Cycling. He loves his bike! It wasn't the best day outside, they even let him test ride in the store! Awesome!
Rochester Cycling is simply the finest bike shop in Rochester. I have relied on their service and advice for over 20 years. You will be happy you chose them for all your biking needs!
Great experience with Rochester Cycling! It's nice to see businesses that handle COVID-19 properly. Got the perfect bike for what I needed with no problems.
I bought a used road bike here, and I've been several times for parts or repairs. They are always friendly and cheaper than I expect. It's my favorite bike shop.
Walked in to look for a bike for my wife to learn and walked out of a brand new bike for her. Excellent service, advice and patience from Eric. I am even thinking of upgrading my hybrid bike now from here.
Have been for many years and will continue to buy our bikes from Rochester Cycling. The service and selection has always been great!
The staff at this store are very knowledgeable and patient. They make it a point to know you and attend to your needs. Matt and staff are amazing. Thank you for being available to answer questions share information as needed. We will be back for sure. We highly recommend this store!
Just had another great experience with the staff at Rochester Cycling when I took in my bike recently for a tune up. Were very helpful & went the extra mile for me.
I appreciate the quick service and local owners. Rochester is bless to have a few great bike shoppes!
Staff are super helpful and knowledgeable! Got a great bike and was able to trade in my other bike.
Great service; knowledgeable staff-- bikes always run smoothly upon their return to us. Matt stands behind his bikes 150%. Fantastic overall!
Every time I walk into your store I know someone will help me buy the right product for my bicycling experience. I believe in supporting small businesses in Rochester and we always shop at Rochester Cycling!
Drove all the way to Rochester from just north of Milwaukee to pick up my sons Trek bike and accessories for his birthday and received excellent service from Matt Hawkins and made our 4.5 hour trip worth it.
We get all of our bikes, bike tuning, and bike related items here. The store is visually appealing and has good stock. The people who work here are knowledgeable.
Matt was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions honestly, helped me process making a decision about which bike to purchase and went the extra mile by fixing my unlucky flat tire after my first ride on the day I purchased my bike. Thanks Matt!
all EXCELLANT! The staff are highly intelligent and knowledgeable. I am happy with the services provided and the price was very fair for repairs done.
Nice selection of quality goods, friendly and knowledgeable staff and it's a local shoppe I've known and trusted for decades
I've been a customer of Rochester cycling for many years. They are a locally owned company, their service is fast and friendly.
I came in knowing nothing about bikes, just that I wanted one. Matt showed me options, let me take a test ride and I ended up walking out with a brand new bike that I love. Thank you!
Very good people. I came ready to spend way more money than I needed to. They gave me great advice that saved me a lot of cash. My bike rides great now.
Great service, very informative staff, excellent products for your bicycle.
I took my road bike in for an urgent repair. Matt and team completed the work ahead of schedule and at a fair price. This place rocks!
They helped put together my bike that I bought online in 1 day for a reasonable fee. Thanks!
Sales person was very patient and detailed
We did not know much about bikes and he explained and got to try it Thumps up shop local people who truly care about there products
I went in looking for a bike. The staff showed me several styles and I found one I liked. It had to be ordered so I will try it when it arrives.
Awesome bike shop, very helpful and low pressure, topped off my bottle of tubeless fluid for free. I also drooled on a few Salsa bikes!
Inventory and availability are low right now, but I had an informative discussion with Nate about what models would suit me best, sizing, price points, etc.

couldn't be happier with the service and pricing. A quick stop to browse turned in to a sale, and I can not wait to pick it up!
Clean neat store, friendly service from Dave, comfortable welcoming lounge area with helpful information there.
