Took my bike by for some small repairs, and they got it fixed very quickly, and for a reasonable price! Very kind and helpful staff. I will definitely come here for any future repairs
Ride Bikes on Saint Andrews Boulevard in West Ashley is a great place to go for all things bikes and accessories all in one place. I like the selection of different bikes that they have available and the good values they have here. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable. Good experience shopping here.
So good I found a husband there! All the employees respected my price range and spent time educating me about the different bikes until I found the right one. Customer service seems to be their number one priority.
These guys are great. I purchased a Kona frame from a different shop out of state and needed to process a warranty claim after moving to SC. Myles at Ride Bikes was more than happy to help me with the claim, despite not even being the original Kona dealer that sold me the bike. He also helped me deal with a very difficult bottom bracket removal and press in headset bearings, at a reasonable price. They’re also very responsive to phone calls and e-mails, which is a refreshing change from the lack of communication I have experienced at other shops.
Ive used their service a few times now and they are always courteous, pleasant to deal with, unbiased in their recommendations and go above and beyond taking care of their customers. Very pleased with the service!
Great and fast service for an affordable price, I would definitely recommend.
These guys are so great. Brought my bike in for a tune up and they took care of me. Taught me new tips and tricks about my bike. Very knowledgeable and willing to help! DAN IS THE MAANNNN.
Excellent bike knowledge, great customer service, lots of parts in stock and occasionally theyve got some pizza.
Listen. This is the place to go to have work done on your bike. I brought my well loved giant trance in there. Bottom bracket was sounding funky and I just wanted a once over. Guys sorted the bb, a new cassette, front pads, and a broken spoke. Couldnt believe how fast it was and how cheap it was. This is the spot. My 6 year old bike now feels great again
Not much to choose from, but we did end up getting a bike. They were very helpful 🙂
Always the nicest most helpful shop in town.
Staff were super friendly and very accommodating!! Thank you for the great customer service!!
This is the best bike shop in the Charleston area with little contest. Ive been everywhere from Mt. Pleasant to Downtown to James Island in the process of doing up and maintaining my road bike and Ride is the only shop that can consistently offer great products and service. Its very refreshing to see every employee be knowledgeable, down to earth, and passionate about what they do and honestly just makes the experience a tier above the other shops . Their prices are very fair and their charge for service has been anywhere from $10 to $120 dollars lower for the same job and better service. Cant recommend them enough, just visit them once and you see why it isnt worth wasting your time anywhere else.
Great service and facial hair!
LOVE this place! Major procrastinator here during the Covid19 pandemic. I ordered an out of stock bike for my 4 year old birthday boy on Thursday, and Greg pulled through a few days later on Monday! The shop was closed, but I got personalized white glove delivery from Greg himself right to my front door. His shop was closed on Monday, but he wanted to make sure the birthday boy got his bike on his special day. I strongly recommend this outfit to everyone- they’re the real deal. Knowledgeable, personable and great products. Thank you!!
We came in for a bike rack, they were efficient and professional, installed and explained it, super service.
Have always had a great experience here. They can even use used parts if you want at a discounted rate. They tell you what actually needs to be fixed but can recommend things you may want to do more long term. Can’t recommend this place or these people enough. 😊
Best Bike Shop in Charleston. These guys go out of their way to fix things right! Its obvious they take pride in their work and really enjoy what they do. Thank you Daniel for your prompt and thorough attention to my wheel problem.
Without doubt the best bike mechanics in the Lowcountry. If ever you support a business, this is one of them. Many thanks to Greg, Myles and Co.
Honest. No attempt to upsell. Ive bought bikes here and gotten tune-ups. I wont go anywhere else.
I took my wife’s Cannondale & my Cervelo to Ride Bikes for service upon the recommendation of a fellow cyclist. From the very start I could tell these people took a sincere interest in bikes and cycling. We needed a lot of work... new cassettes, derailleurs, breaks, chains and tires all for a trip we were looking forward to. They provided great advice. Once they had the parts they turned us around in less than a day! The work appears to be excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommending Ride Bikes!!
These guys are great helped me get back into biking with a relatively low cost hybrid commuter bike even honored a miscommunication between one of the sales guys and myself great service great guys highly recommend the locksmith
From what I saw... this is not a place of frivolous purchases; theres no wide array of bells and horns and attachments and theres not an overstock of shirts declaring who they are or that they are the best.BUT who they are is a group of people who are friendly and knowledgeable and efficient with their care of your two wheels. They are helpful and love dogs and love cycling. Theres a good curated selection of bikes. I left smiling and knowing it was not going be my last visit. Parking lot is small so if you can cycle there, do that.
Its by far the BEST Bike Shop in the Lowcountry.
Great bicycle shop with knowledgeable mechanics to help you with anything and everything bike related.
Glad I brought my bike here. These guys are awesome!! I normally don’t rate... but had to for Ride Bikes. They are friendly, informative, fast and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend them!!!!
I took me and my wife bike for maintenence, spoke to Miles and he made me feel comfortable with dealing with him, he seemed very knowledgeable about what our bikes needed. He said because of the weekend it would be ready by Wednesday, however it was ready earlier than quoted, thats what Im talking about, quick professional service. I will definitely return. I havent tested the ride of the bikes yet, but when we do, we will write another review.
They were crazy busy with curbside service (due to Covid-19) when I arrived. They were pretty well set up logistically to handle everyone. Each of the 3 mechanics working acknowledged me and asked if I had been helped. When it was my turn, they assessed the bike, which needed a new derailer, within 15 minutes. They offered to fix it on the spot or I could leave it. I opted to have them fix then. 15 mins later the bike was fixed and I was riding smooth as soon as I got home. Knowledgeable, kind, and a fair price. Definitely taking it back when things settle down for full on TLC from them.
The most welcoming!! As a major beginner, the folks at Ride Bikes eliminated any intimidation of the the cycling community. I joined in the Thursday night ride not knowing what to expect. Not only were Tom, Daniel, and Greg (with the shop) so friendly but, what spoke the most volumes was the rest of the community on the ride. All skill levels were represented. I cant thank these guys enough or speak too highly of them.
Really can’t disagree with every other review of this place
Awesome owner and employees. Their maintenance is top notch and fast. Parts come in quick at a good price. Favorite shop in Charleston!
Always friendly service and great prices
Ask a local rider, this is Charleston’s Bike Shop.Thursday night gravel + beer rides are one of my favorite things about Charleston. Great Community. Nice selection of bikes but building up customs to fit you, tune ups and service are where their excellence really comes through.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Was able to help out right away and do the work at very fair prices. After two experiences with them I can honestly say this is the only place Ill go for any of my bike needs from now on here in the Charleston area!
Ride Bikes is the best bike shop in town. They have always given me honest advice with quick and competent service.
The guys in this shop took time to share about the area bike trails and to make my wife and got the bikes which best suited for us. This is a great place to do business with.
I have owned a Diamondback hybrid bicycle for a few years now but did not start riding regularly (around 30 miles a week) until recently. That said, I have very limited bike knowledge but knew my bicycle was long overdue for servicing. Both tire tubes needed to be replaced, the brakes needed to be adjusted, and the chain needed to be replaced. When I dropped my bicycle off on Wednesday they explained what the costs would be and what a general servicing entails. They were knowledgeable, patient, and didn’t talk down to me or take advantage of my limited experience. I will definitely be back and recommend them to friends and family!
Greg Jones is the owner of this full service professional bike shop. Greg and his staff are great people and will treat you right. Chief mechanic Myles is can be found lining it up on the road and in the dirt at many races and is even known to find the podium. Give them a visit.
I have tried most bike shops in town and have concluded that Ride Bikes is the best. Every time I am in there they treat me great, take time to explain whats going on with my bike. Miles in particular has offered consistently excellent customer service.
The best service ever and more than fair prices, actually very inexpensive considering the service. Bought a bike on the phone from Miami for my sister in Charleston. The bike was supposed to be modified and delivered. They did everything they promised and then some. The best buying experience ever.
This is by far the best bike shop in Charleston and probably one of the best businesses in town. Every experience I have had with them has been hugely positive. Great people who love their jobs and they are doing wonderful things for the community.
Great experience! Have a strider for my 2yr old that needed a new wheel. Took initially to Mikes bikes. They were going to charge $60 or were pushing me to buy a new strider. Ride bikes took care of me without flinching and went above and beyond. They charged me less than $20 and they were extremely responsive and helpful! It took some ingenuity on their part to make it work. Wasnt charged for extra time it took them to figure out, install, etc. Just charged me for the cost of wheel they ordered.
Incredibly helpful and kind staff. They went way above and beyond helping me with a surprise for my husband - assembling and even delivering a bike trailer to my house. Theyre so easy to work with and knowledgeable. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
I bought my first bike in 20 years and had not ridden my recumbent in many years but wanted a utility bike. Went in, met Greg and after a patient hour or so I was convinced that I wanted to buy my next bike from these guys. Took overnight to make the decision ( I research everything) and decided on a Scott 29er in stock. Each time I visit the shop its like seeing old friends and the attention not to mention knowledge is up there with the best. I still own one of my first bicycles - 1974 Schwinn Continental andand my next a 1995 Ryan Recumbent and I would trust them to work on each of them. Great guys who know their stuff.
They are absolutely awesome! I took my mountain bike in to have the rear wheel swapped out and the gears transferred to another wheel. I had misplaced the locking spindle, but they were able to find one that fit and worked. I was in and out in no time and the price was fantastic! Definitely recommend and will be back for any future bicycle needs
Honestly, this is THE BEST bike shop around. I once brought my bike from Summerville all the way here just cause of their price and quality. The best part is they stand by their work, so if you get something done and it isnt right theyll fix it (usually for free). The guy who runs it is super niceand the associates in store mirror his professionalism, etc.
We had been to most of the other bike shops in town, and were starting to get fed up with the sales guys blowing us off (old, out of shape couple). Then we came into Ride Bikes and met Daniel.Couldnt imagine a more laid back experience. He talked to us and got us headed in the right direction with a couple bikes that were perfectly in our price range. In fact, I think we actually ended up with cheaper bikes than we were expecting.Service was great and fast. Like the lady we met in the parking lot told us, I recommend these guys to all my friends.
Very nice guys, really helpful.
Friendly and knowledgeable
Extremely Knowledgeable and helpful staff. The guys helped my girlfriend and I find the perfect bikes for our needs and somehow managed to do it UNDER our budget... Hands down, best bike shop in Charleston.
Awesome service. Answered all my questions. Im so excited to get out on my new bike!
Absolutely the best! Knowledgeable, honest and friendly. They ride, they race, and they support the local cycling community!
The guys here have always been super helpful and accommodating. Ive bought parts and had repairs done and the price always surprises me... its always lower than I had expected. Soon, Im moving from West Ashley to Johns Island, but I still plan to use Ride Bikes for all my bicycle needs.
One hell of a great place to get the bike of your dreams, plus the technical services to keep your bike riding like new for a lot longer than you car could ever last, the staff and owner there is great and ready to help you in any way, go there yourself and see !
The owner of ride bikes is a super cool guy....very knowledgeable and active member of the local community ..... if biking is your desire and quality ride a must as it is for me....this is your guy.... thanks so much guys for the wonderful service to the local community.
Awesome bike shop! Finally found a great shop to visit while Im in the area. Tore up the derailleur on my mountain bike at Wanamaker North trails and was out of commission. Saw these guys on line and was impressed by the picture of all the bikes in their showroom, so I figured they were a real shop. Anyone that seriously pedals knows what I mean. They fixed my bike really fast (drop out, rear derailleur, cable). They also replaced the rear wheel with a good used one as the free hub was about stripped out. I then went on their Thursday night group ride which was awesome; somehow managed to keep up ;-) Kudos to Greg Jones for a great experience!!!
Very nice and professional bike shop. Their pricing is reasonable and they are extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this shop.
Excellent bike shop. Will take care of all your cycling needs. Then on Thursday night join them for a great night time bike ride along the Greenway.
Great customer service. Miles and Daniel are incredibly helpful. This location has 5 stars and excellent reviews for a reason.
Great shop with great employees. Took care of my problem tire and tube fast. Would recommend you shop here for your bike needs.
This is one of, if not the best bike shop in the tri county area. They are affordable, knowledgeable and will go out of their way to steer you in the right direction. Its worth the trip to come here, i couldnt recommend them enough !
Best bike shop experience in Charleston. Ive been to a couple other places and the quality and service does not compare. They are honest and treat you like real humans. So glad I bought my bike from here.
Been very pleased with everything so far, sale and service related. Id have no issues recommending them to others.
Guys are great and they have awesome prices way cheaper than Charleston bikes and way faster at fixing the problem. I had a broken back spoke on my bike they fixed it within an hour and cost less than 20 bucks. Other bike shops cost way more and had way longer time estimate
I have always had great experiences with all the staff. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and they are local. Thank you, Ride Bikes!
Came in when they were busy to have a flat fixed. I waited less than 30 minutes before I was out the door . Super friendly guys! Highly recommend!
Just spoke to Daniel on the phone. Really took his time to help. Recommend!
The only place in Charleston for bike service. Professional, courteous, extremely helpful and the work they do is top notch. From old beach cruisers to brand new race rigs, they do it all and they do it all well.
Friendly and knowledgable. Its an authentic store with a professional staff that will go above and beyond to answer questions and make you feel at home. Thanks guys!
Last year I bought a basic 3-speed commuter bike here and promptly got hit by a truck the next week. These guys took great care of me - put together a thorough bike repair quote that I could submit to insurance, provided free labor for all the repairs (free labor for the whole first year really, since I bought a new bike), and gave me unsolicited/unadvertised discounts here and there when I came in to buy accessories. Theyve been very friendly, honest, and hard working. Quality work with no pressure to buy anything you dont need, although theyre happy to give advice / recommendations if you ask. Ive been back on my bike for 9 months now, and by this point when I walk into the shop, they know my name and remember the last few things I came in for. Currently getting my rear wheel rebuilt because the North Charleston roads took a toll on the spokes. :) My only complaint is that you cant turn left out of the shop (have to make a right turn then U-turn), but oh well. Everything that matters about the shop is great, and I send all my friends here who are looking for new bikes or repairs. Thanks Greg!
Bought two bikes so far from Greg! Excellent Bike Shop! I highly recommend them. Very helpful and knowledgeable!
Super friendly and knowledgeable group who get you what you need without up selling for no reason. Sent friends who race here as well as my mom for a beach cruiser and everyone was treated well.
Excellent shop, prompt polite service, no matter the bike you bring in. Best pricing for bike service in Charleston. First place I recommend to all my friends in Charleston for bike service.
Fun group behind this small bike shop. Great service and they seem to really know their bikes. With the greenway nearby, you can pop in while on your bike. Thursday night group rides the greenway at a quick pace. Lots of fun. Consignment and new bikes to choose from.
Great local bike shop - always helpful & friendly. Love this place!
Great customer service, knowledgeable, and friendly. Definitely recommend for any biking needs.
I have been to ALL of the bike shops here is Charleston and WITHOUT A DOUBT, these guys are ABSOLUTELY the best!...no pressure or up charges and willing to get IT RIGHT!..they will be my GO TO for my four bikes from other area stores!
I drove all the way from Goose Creek just to get some air, cause thats my shop. Dudes know what they doing there.
Awesome customer service and bike service! Same day turn around at a very cost effective rate - no price gouging, just good guys keeping our bikes in Charleston operating properly.
Easily the best bike shop in town. The staff is on point and they really care about the riders. Nothing but good experiences with Ride Bikes.

Great shop with good service. Stop by and theyll get you taken care of!
