I am sure there are cheaper places, like in Arlington, but you pay for convenience and it's well worth it. Even though I've never bought a bike from them, they have always provided me with excellent and reasonable service. I've dropped in there with no appointment on several occasions and they've been able to make adjustments on the spot. They once dealt with a fork replacement for a bike that was no longer under warranty even though I didn't buy it from them. Contacted the manufacturer, convinced them the problem was a manufacturing defect, and did the replacement. I paid only for labor which was 35 bucks. They could very well have told me to call the mfg. myself and deal with it, this wasn't their problem, and they had no money to make here. They get a lot of props for that.

No good deed goes unpunished, and all that? I hope not...

I am so appreciative to have a good pump so close to my house. Thanks Daryl! Also, I do like City Bikes. Their classes are great - they're free, and they'll teach you how to do basic repairs, a lot of the stuff you may be paying for now. I went a couple weeks ago and had a super nice guy teach me how to fix a flat, so I won't be paying $20 a pop anymore. Give their classes a chance. That’s where I fill up my tires!

A lot of people respond to that with: ohhhhh but the service is so quality. or..... yeahhh, but their so high quality. whatEVz. rude and overpriced, go to the alternatives, same price or cheaper or less rude. i am currently shaping a baby plant to leave in exchange for the free air.

Next time it rains I'm going to go outside and put a sign with an arrow pointing up saying 'free water' :) City Bikes also has a ‘free air’ hose coming out of their wall at the end of their bike rack on Euclid St. I don’t know why the term ‘free air’ always makes me laugh a little to myself.
