The South Shore Cyclery Advantage

The South Shore Cyclery crew

South Shore Cyclery has been in business for over 30 years.  Our mission is to fuse bicycle and rider into one happy union.  It can be time-consuming work that doesn’t fit the business model of “big box” bike shops.   But the ultimate result is so worth it!  Simply put, we take the time to make you happy!  Experience old-school service in a store offering some of the most technically advanced bicycles and accessories available.  And when your bicycle needs service, or you want sound cycling advice count on the South Shore Cyclery team to offer timely and competent solutions.

We are an established Independent Bicycle Dealer and a member of the National Bicyclers Dealers Association.  If you are visiting our site you just might be in the process of thinking about buying a new bicycle. One of your first choices, and not necessarily an easy one, will be where to shop. It can be a challenge because there are a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers, to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations.

Where you buy has everything to do with what you get. Bicycles aren't like toasters or suitcases.  Bikes are shipped in boxes and they must be assembled and tuned properly.

In days like these, bikes are designed for many different lifestyles and you should never buy until you've figured out which is right for you. We are here to to make ensure the proper measurements and adjustments for the correct frame  size and that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned.  A quality two-wheeler, carefully assembled and fit to you, will be the safest, most durable and fun bicycle to ride.

For these reasons, we strongly recommend shopping at a loyal specialty bicycle store in our area. At South Shore Cyclery, we hire competent salespeople and expert mechanics who'll confirm the right bike you are looking for.  With helpful personnel, a wide variety of selection, and an on-site repair and service department we both win in bringing satisfaction.

1. We have the right bike for you, a large selection in all classifications.

We offer a wide selection of bicycles for different lifestyles.  We provide expert assistance in selecting the proper bike type and model for you.  For example, a road bike makes little sense if your plan is to tackle dirt trails.  Likewise, if you're into cruising, you certainly don't need to test ride racing rigs. You need the bike type that's going to be appropriate for your intended use.  Our experienced staff will listen ask question to guide you into the correct bike purchase. 

2. All our new bikes are assembled by professional bicycle mechanics.        

You might be surprised to learn that bicycles are not completely assembled at the factory.  The truth is that they're actually delivered to us disassembled, and in a box.  We spend at least an hour (depending on the model) assembling, tuning, and testing every bike (at no additional charge to you). This is a requirement by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and we pride ourselves in meeting the highest standards.  Our technicians and service department are always prepared to make any necessary adjustments as well as provide advice if you need assistance during a purchase or after a sale.

3. We allow test rides, the best way to select a new machine.

To know if that new rig is the right ride for you's best test is to get on it.  The truest way to judge a bike, is to take it out for a spin. Cruise down the pavement and shift through the gears, feel how the frame fits your legs and arms.  Test the brakes.  Stand up and climb.  Coast a bit.  Does the bike feel comfortable, easy to pedal, and smooth?  Is it quiet?  Do you like the ride?  Make some mental notes and return to our shop to try some others. We're happy to let you compare bikes and get a feel so you find the perfect machine.

4. Our experienced staff is happy to offer all the cycling advice you need.

We're staffed by knowledgeable and enthusiastic cyclists who love to share their expertise.  Need to learn how to shift, fix-a-flat, carry gear, pump your tires?  Want to find the best places to ride or friends to pedal with?  Just ask, we will be more than happy to help.
 

5. Every new bike comes with one-year free adjustments (unlimited visits), break-in & fit.

Bicycles are machines that require maintenance. One of the most important services is the first adjustment, which is due after you've ridden your new bike for a few weeks. During this time, cables might stretch, spokes may loosen and adjustments could change. For your new rig to ride right and last as long as possible, we provide one-year free adjustments, break-in and fit services.  Where we thoroughly check all systems.
 

6. Our bikes offer the highest quality, longest life, and a trade-back program.

We don't just stock any bicycles.  We stand behind our products, we find and carry only the finest brands and models.  This means that you get a great bike that will last and last with nothing more than regular care and maintenance.  If you should decide to upgrade, you'll be able to sell your bike for a good price.
 

7. We carry all the best accessories to go with your new bike and install them free with any new bike purchase.

Cycling's most fun when you have the right gear to go along with that new bike. Our store is loaded with top-quality accessories and equipment such as helmets, locks, pumps, hydration systems, computers, and plenty of other goodies designed to help you enjoy your ride.  With the purchase of your new bike and accessories our helpful staff will install your necessary accessaries free of charge!  Wow, now that's service!

All of us at South Shore Cyclery look forward to seeing you soon!
