Old Bikes Belong

All around great! Mike did an awesome job helping me find a bike perfect for what I need as a student who primarily uses it to bike to and from campus. Great price. Great service.

Me and my boyfriend both bought bikes here recently (him for commuting to school, mine for an anniversary gift *aaawww*) and we had a great experience with this shop. He got a new bike, and mine was a used bike that was restored. They have a very large selection, with most bikes ranging above $ 300, though this varies with stock. Spending that much money on a bike is still a new concept to me, but I know that’s the norm for a decent bike. Service was good, and we were given personalized help to find the best bike for our needs and heights.
Oh– I almost forgot. I was told that there was no return policy for my bike, so that seemed a little sketchy to me. But I bit the bullet and went with it, and haven’t had any problems.

Wife and I came into this store recently, interested in buying bikes. Neither of us is a serious cyclist and we didn’t really know what we wanted. The owner, Mike, showed great patience in explaining the pros and cons of various bikes and talked is through the process. We test rode several of them and both ended up buying bikes that really fit our needs. Great selection of new and refurbished bikes and excellent service from an owner who takes great pride in his store and products. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Mike to fix my bikes for about a year now. He fixed a bike that I didn’t buy from him, sometimes fixing something small for free since he remembered me. After I let that one get stolen (buy a U-​lock kids), I bought a Fuji hybrid and continue to take it to him for repairs since I’m an irresponsible bike owner. He may seem standoffish at first but Mike shows genuine care for his bikes and concern for his customers. He has absolutely no problem allowing you to try as many bikes as you like. He doesn’t follow you around the store and watch you, he doesn’t pressure you into buying anything you don’t 100% love. If you decide you want to change to a different bike, he does trade ins or will help you modify your current bike to fit you better. Even if I move outside of walking distance from Mike’s shop, I will continue to go to him for my biking needs.

I visited Old Bikes Belong to get a bike to commute back and forth to work. Mike allowed me to test out many different bikes, was never pushy and explained the benefits of each one. When he didn’t have a bike in the size and color I wanted he was able to order it and get it in quickly.
I have had my bike about 6 months and use his shop for periodic service. I have been very pleased with all of my visits.

Mike knows what he’s talking about, his prices are the best in town, and he’s SUPER friendly.

Although contrary to the name of the shop, my experience at Old Bikes Belong had to do with a new bicycle. In fact, I bought it online and contacted OBB with a request for help assembling it. Michael, the shop’s owner, was very quick and courteous with his email response and I was able to bring my box of parts in right away. For $ 50, I have a fully assembled bike less than 24 hours later and a friendly neighborhood shop that I will definitely be seeing more of for all of my bike-​related needs!

Mike was super helpful and is really knowledgable with bikes. He is honest about what you are getting and is helpful iwith anything. I check up with him quite often to get air in my tires and just to make sure my bike is running smoothly. He does this service all for free.

As I was looking for a new ride bike, I stumbled upon Old Bikes Belong website. I saw the bike I wanted, emailed the owner, and the next day he had responded.
He invited me to come to the store to check out the bike (and others like it). I did just that. After test riding four bikes, I decided on a Raleigh Olympian. The owner was very knowledgeable and patient with my newbie questions.
Although his demeanor is a little less than cordial, I honestly think this is just the owner’s personality type; which could be easily perceived as cold. I’ve emailed him once, called twice, and even went to the bike shop to ask questions, since buying the bike. He has never alluded to the fact that I was being bothersome and encouraged me to contact him, should I have any other questions/​problems.
I would definitely recommend checking him out before you make a bike purchase; especially if you’re looking for a quality used bike.

I’ve never written a Unilocal review before, but I felt the need to in light of some reviews on this page. I bought a bike from OBB a few weeks ago. The experience was great. I was allowed to try out as many bikes as I wanted. I was given honest answers to my questions about what sort of bike would fit my lifestyle best. I was not forced to haggle over the price. When I asked to have the handlebars raised due to my height, the store owner graciously raised the handlebars for no extra cost. He also threw in a free water bottle rack. The bike has been the perfect fit for me so far.
Besides just how nice the store owner was, the selection of bikes was excellent. No matter what kind of bike you’re looking for, OBB has it and at great prices. Stores like this are too few and far between. It was so refreshing to walk into a bike store and be helped by a friendly person who gave honest answers to honest questions. I highly recommend OBB.

After seeing the two extremely disparate Unilocal reviews, I was a little apprehensive to check out this bike shop. However, I’m glad to say that I did. In addition to offering excellent prices on used bikes, the owner was incredibly down-​to-​earth, friendly and helpful. After I told him I was interested in purchasing a hybrid, he helped me narrow my choices down to two bikes.
He encouraged me to test ride both bikes in order to determine which I liked better and also explained the differences between the two and what parts he had replaced. Additionally, he said that the all bikes come with a 100 day warrantee. In the end I am extremely happy with my bike and it ended up being everything that I was looking for.

Love this shop!
I am a newbie shopping for a road bike, and this place was perfect what I needed. Mike is very low key and let me try out several bikes. He answered all my questions and was very attentive. He even fixed a Trek up to my specs in a day, but I ended up purchases a lovely used Fuji. I’ve only taken it on two spins, but I’m confident that Mike will be more than helpful if I need anything.
Great shop, highly recommend for anyone, especially first timers.

Been spinning for a while now. Got ready with the beautiful weather to get outside more… The store is awesome, the shopkeeper very helpful and made buying my first real «Road Bike» a breeze. Tried a few bikes for size and feel and the decision was easy. Got a great bike in great shape with a 100 day warranty, set up exactly as I asked… This tells me that the owner completely knows and stands behind his bicycles. What more could you ask for? When shopping for bikes, keep this in mind, go used, but don’t go cheap… you get what you pay for!
Will recommend to others in my heathy network at the Y.

The cutest little store popped up on Preston Street relatively recently. That, or I simply noticed it because the lights were on and inside was chock full of bikes! Since I’d been trying to find a bike for the longest time, I finally convinced myself to go in. Being a complete novice to cycling, I was a bit anxious about the store owner being pretentious and getting taken advantage of — but I’m glad that I did. I found my bike and the owner was super friendly and helpful.
The bikes come with a month warranty, but no receipts or paperwork was exchanged, which could be weird for some. I actually didn’t mind. Something about buying a vintage/​re-​cycled bike without a receipt, seemed kinda hippy to me. The owner just said he’d remember me, because he’d remember the bike. I trusted that. And it was true, when I walked in again with my bike, he remembered.
The owner takes the ultimate care in re-​purposing vintage bikes. Though I still don’t know much about bikes, I was impressed with the brands that I recognized and how good of condition they were still in, since I knew them to be pretty old bikes. My old 90’s hybrid Trek has treated me well since I bought it in September. I had to go back a few times for a couple of adjustments, but the owner fixed it immediately and since it was under warranty, at no cost. He even gave me an extra helmet he had lying around, because I had asked him if he sold any the last time I was in!
I plan on hitting up this place again when I want to upgrade from my hybrid. But my commute to work is much more pleasant now that I get to ride.
