First came to this shop a couple years ago looking for a used bike I could tool around town on. While they weren’t able to help me that day, the friendly and knowledgeable staff pointed me to a shop down the road. After that experience they became my go to whenever I need something worked on beyond my abilities or resources. Every time I visit I get a good chat in with the folks working and leave happy. Since Covid they’ve implemented some fairly strict policies to ensure customer and employee safety. With my partner being immune compromised I can’t say enough how much relief and appreciation

These guys were super helpful when I needed a tube bikepacking. Had just what I needed and filled our bottles up too. Great service

I took my family's 3 bikes that hadn't been ridden in years to Ben's Bikes to get tuned up so we could get out and ride during the COVID pandemic. They were super honest with what needed to be done and how much it would cost. They even informed me that lights are required at night. The manager even brought a nice selection of lights outside for me to choose from. We will definitely be back!

I have been going to these guys for years. All of my bike needs and my friends bike needs have always been met! Not only with a smile and pleasant banter, but always guaranteed service. It is the beat bike shop in the South. Ask for Sam or Brandon!

I have visited Ben’s before and have gotten great service. However, I went recently with an emergency flat and they were very rude. I was told it would take a week for them to put air in my tire(I have had this problem before and it took less than five minutes to repair). I asked if I could pay to use their air pump and was told that they are not a charity. I have always supported them because they have a local feel, but I definitely won’t be back.

The manager, Sam, was ABSOLUTELY rude and ignorant. We were wearing 2 masks, stepped in after not receiving service for a few minutes to see if anyone was available to help, and we were told "if you haven't heard, there is a bike shortage and we don't have a bike for you". We were ready to buy a bike this morning. We will no longer be supporting Ben's Bikes as long as Sam and any other rude people work there. This is quite a shame as we had heard many good things about Ben's Bikes. Sounds like Sam took out his frustrations of people not taking coronavirus seriously on us, which was very misappropriated

Ben's bikes has always provided great service in Athens, and I'm always treated great when I stop by for parts. Sam is great as is the whole team. For everyone's safety during the pandemic, please follow the guidelines out front for drop off and pickup.

Great service! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Bought three bikes in one day, and they allowed us to exchange one of the bikes for a larger size two days later, with no fuss or hassle. Definitely will come back in the future. Highly recommended!

I'm not a serious rider, so it was with a little trepidation and embarrassment that I took my nearly unused and completely neglected Trek into the shop for maintenance. It's literally sat on a porch for 4 years. We recently decided to re-vitalize it, with the idea that it would be nice to take our toddler out, so adding a seat + maintenance would give the bike new life.
I can honestly say that this has been an awesome experience so far. Brent and staff have been more than helpful - offering suggestions, being gracious with their time and expertise, and all around providing great service. The staff

Had a great experience at this shop! The repair prices are more than fair and I really appreciate that Brent took the time to sit with me and come up with a cost effective solution to fix my '71 Schwinn Varsity. My bike is now riding great! I will be returning to Ben's for all future tune-ups and repairs.

They know I need a bike, so they have helped me above and beyond what they have charged me. To be fair, they sometimes don't completely check the bike before giving it back to me (so check carefully before you go), but overall A GREAT SHOP. Do not expect them to give you a sales pitch or the salesperson's smile, just count on them being honest and down-to-earth.

One million thanks!
