Patapsco Bicycles

Awesome staff! Best knowledge and talent for getting my nephew’s bike ready to roll again on his cross country road trip. They went out of their way to fix his bike in time to get back on the road. Can’t say enough good stuff about this shop! Thanks guys!!!

We went her to get my son his first bike. The staff was friendly and a big help. There was a good selection of helmets for kids as well.

Great Shop caters from beginners to elite!
the Staff is very friendly @ all ride themselves! the BEST Cycle Shop in Mt Airy by far !

So here’s the deal. I decide to buy a new mountain bike as I’ve put a lot of hard mileage on my 11 year old Specialized Epic. I do my research and settle upon a few bikes. While canvassing local bike shops I stumble upon Patapsco Bike & Sport in Mt. Airy, MD. There I ride some great bikes without any pressure from the shop staff. Nothing more annoying than unsolicited sales pitches. Eventually, at Tim’s recommendation I demo a Pivot and it’s love at first ride! I drop the cash and pick my dream bike up a few weeks later.
Then disaster strikes! On my third ride, a group ride with friends, we get about 50 yards into the trail and as I shift gears on a relatively flat section — KABAM! The rear wheel locks up and sends me into the grass for a soft landing, luckily. We all look around. No rocks, no twigs, nothing. The rear dérailleur exploded, tore up a few spokes, knocked the wheel out of true and scratched the carbon that holds the rear dropout. I become red with fury! I feel duped! I reached out of my comfort zone, ie. budget, for my dream bike and on it’s third ride in less than three weeks it fails me. How could a bike that I hadn’t dropped, dinged or anything and generally been treating as gingerly as a newborn have exploded in such a blaze of disappointment?
I carry the bike back up to Patapsco Bike and Sport and it seems like everyone in the shop is looking on in disbelief and skepticism. They make no promises except to do their best to make it right — and they do! A few days later I get a call from Tim at the shop to keep me in the loop and he tells me that between Pivot and Patapsco B&S they are going to make things whole. I picked the bike up yesterday with a new rear triangle, rear dérailleur and spokes and fly over to the trail and find nirvana again! Thank you Tim, Keith and everyone at Patapsco Bike & Sport! If you are passionate about biking and your bikes, you’d be crazy if you didn’t take a trip to Mt. Airy before buying or servicing your bike! The crew is GREAT!

Great place to shop for bikes from Specialized, Ellsworth, Trek, and Jamis. This shop is full of goodies for your bike as well! Bought some fresh new tires and a few other upgrades for my bike and was satisfied with the service.
The people who work here are knowledgable and super friendly. Definitely worth checking out.
