Electric bikes are the newest cycling technology on the market, adding to your normal bike rides with a pedal assist system. This system measures the input of power that you put into the bike, and then depending on which mode, outputs a percentage of that power. You're still in control of the biking and pedaling, but the electric power of the bike can help you get farther, faster than you might be able to alone.
Anything you need to go with your new bike, or to keep you comfortable and out riding on your old one, we've got you covered. Grant, from The Bicycle Shop in State College PA, takes some time to show a portion of the range of lights available to bicyclists. From Little blinking lights for increased visibility to bright rechargeable LED systems for mountain biking at night.

The people that run this place are very helpful. I walked in 5 minutes before they were going to close needing to buy an inner tube for my back tire that had a slow leak. After buying the inner tube I asked if I could use their air pump so I could make it back. The employee looked at my tire and found the leak, then offered to replace my inner tube for free, and fixed it right then. Overall great service, nice people.

Really dishonest business. I was told my repair was going to cost in the range of $20-$25, which is fair for a broken cable for my gear shifter, but they "found" more broken stuff inside the bike to fix without letting me know, charging me for a total of $56, which is more than double the estimated cost. I take issue with the fact that I was given no notice before this repair took place. You don't get to take someone's bike and fix whatever you want and then randomly charge them. I sure as well will never come back and will discourage as many people as possible from coming here as well, especially

Update: A kind guy from this store reached out to me very quickly after my initially negative review regarding a bad service experience I had at the store. He took in my bike and fixed all the problems, and apologized. Bike is great now, and the people in this store do take bikes seriously. The odd bad experience was probably due to very high demand.

I'll start by saying, you can feel confident that the experienced techs take their reputation very seriously and will do all they can to ensure you receive the service you deserve. An employee at the bicycle shop, personally went well out of their way to ensure that I got my bike returned to me operating as well as humanly possible. I had a very rough and frustrating experience the first time I took my bike in. This lead to me not feeling very confident in the service provided. At the time I took my bike in for service, they were short staffed and having a tough time with covid.

Update: I brought my bike back to the shop to get re-tuned and I’m really glad I did. My bike is running perfectly now, it’s performing much better than it ever has and I’m very happy with the service. It does feel like they made a genuine mistake with my original service, I should have brought my bike back immediately to fix it. Thank you for setting this right!
I will be up front and say I don’t know much about bikes. What I do know is that my brakes needed replacing and my bike was skipping gears so I thought I would bring my ~7 year old bike in for its first tune up. Trusting their

I had lost all hopes for my gotrax e-scooter. I gave it one last shot at the bicycle shop and it came back to me within a day, looking like new with insanely good servicing. The staff and the people are the nicest in the whole city. The pricing blew me away cuz they only literally charged me 15$ for the entire repair. Needless to say, 10/10 recommended!!! Thanks a lottt

I leave this review to share my experience at this store. I have left all of my bike repairs here for the past three years and spent a large amount of labor costs to make electric bicycles. But what came back to me was disaster. Last few weeks ago, I visited to repair the bike and the main purpose of repair was to replace the rear tire. It was necessary to attach a tire suitable for a special electric bicycle, and there was no problem with the original tire. The tire just was not suitable for heavy-weight electric bicycles.
I had to ask a repair technician for the cost (which was a lot of price

I am new to the area and was trying to find a great bike shop! And the Bicycle Shop does not disappoint. They have a friendly and knowledgeable staff who are eager to help. I was also impressed that they don’t try to up-sale you. In several stops, they helped me find only what I needed. I highly recommend The Bicycle Shop.
