The absolute best! If you’re looking for anything bike related, Slipping Gears is your place. Very knowledgeable and the friendliest of staff. My fourth bike that I’ve purchased from them now and I wouldn’t consider shopping anywhere else in the Bangor area

The salespeople listened to me very patiently. They were supportive and very knowledgeable. They had a used bike that met my specs at a very good price. It was a very positive experience.

Slipping Gears is great, I’m glad they’re one of the friendly local bike shops around Bangor. Low stress and knowledgeable folks. It’s worth swinging in to see if they have what you need before going to the internet

Went to several bike shops in the area, Slipping Gears was by far the friendliest and happiest staff who is more than willing to take the time to get me on the bike that I was really looking for. Their staff was very knowledgeable and made the buying experience perfect.

My family and I were all ready for new bikes after moving to the area. The employees were super helpful and patient and helped us find exactly the right bikes and the right sizes. They spent lots of time with us talking bikes and local trails and routes. It felt like the boost we needed to get back on our bikes after our move. The tallest member of our family wasn’t able to test ride any bikes that fit, but other arrangements were discussed and crossing our fingers he will get the right bike too.

Purchased my son's bike from them a couple years ago, and anytime I have a problem, question or my annual maintenance, they are quick to respond, talk to me about my options and suggestion and always seem to get things faster than promised!

These guys rock. I was in a pinch with an issue that rendered my new bike inoperable (which I REALLY wanted to ride over the holiday weekend) and they had it fixed and ready to roll in a matter of minutes. Plus they gave me a bunch of extremely helpful how-to’s and info. They always do a great job with my service work, and have a great assortment of products in house! Top notch bike shop.

This store was great, not only did they keep my bike overnight because of the rain, they also had some amazing adidas shoes for on sale for 50

Take this advice to heart. best thing to do is find out which bike the owners and the employees ride. Usually those bikes are the best bikes in the store. Listen to their advice store has great pricing very fair. I saved $2600.

Slipping Gears is a great local bike shop. The shop is well stocked with bikes and accessories. Most importantly, the shop has a professional and friendly staff. A staff happy to take the time to answer questions and provide well informed recommendations. I never felt any pressure to purchase anything during any of my visits. When I special ordered a bike the assembly and check out was done within a day of receiving the shipment. The shop should definitely be your first stop for anything cycling related.

Fantastic shop and staff. Jason's (the owner) enthusiasm is infectious, and it's always a pleasure to chat with him. We've now outfitted our entire family with new bikes from slipping gears and send all our friends there as well. It's just always an excellent experience whenever we go in, even if we just need a little help and aren't actually making a purchase. We also love the group rides they lead all summer, and the care and maintenance classes they teach in the winter. Slipping Gears is everything you hoped your local bike shop would be and more!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially Nick! Family has bought 3 bikes there, along with countless accessories, and they fix anything very quickly. They organize weekly rides in the area that are fun as well, and vary by your skill-level, so this is a full-experience shop. Highly recommend!

I brought my older bike in to be serviced and it was done and riding like new again by the end of the same day, all for a reasonable price. The shop has a great selection of bikes and gear, very friendly and knowledgeable staff willing to answer any questions, and the shop itself is well organized and clean.

I like that you listen to me and present me with choices that I can afford and fit my needs. I like that you are so active in the community, organizing events, maintaining trails, providing opportunities to ride. I like that everyone at the store KNOWS what he's doing. I like that I receive help above and beyond what other places would do (helping me bring products to my car, helping me understand how to set up my new rack, etc.) You're good to my kids.I will always seek your shop first related to my family's biking needs. Thanks for being there.

I sent my bike out to Slipping Gear, so they could put it together for my tour across the US via the Northern Tier. They did an amazing job and were super helpful. I wish they were my hometown bike shop! The owner even gave me some shop swag to represent along the ride! Thanks guys for all your support. It's obvious all of you love to bike.May the wind always be at your back!Matt RampBattle Ground, WA

Not only knowledgeable but quick friendly service. They went over bike trainers which I need to learn more about. Invited my daughter and I to cycle as they meet right there. They quickly fixed my bike, not at all what I thought the issue was. It was a frozen link, I thought I needed a new chain. No issues with my ride now. Thought I needed a bike seat to find out shorts will be a better choice. Bought a bike pump. Great selection of merchandise including biked.

Knowledgeable owners and staff that ensure your selection is exactly what you’re looking for. Every time I shop there I leave completely satisfied that what I purchased is the best quality and value for my money spent. Always a happy customer and willing to recommend this shop to anyone in the cycling community.

I was traveling from out of town, and decided to stop at the Slipping Gears bicycle shop. The first thing that I noticed walking into the business was that it was neat and very well organized. It was easy to figure out what was where, and how they categorized inventory. I was also immediately welcomed by staff, and the owner also took time with me to just have a conversation about bikes, as well as his business. I’m very grateful that they made me feel like a valued customer. I will absolutely be in again to shop with them, and recommend them to my other cycling buddies. Ronni.

Very friendly and welcoming staff and really efficient in repairs/tuneups. After a short time, they know your name and greet you as you enter. Good selection of bikes and gear.

I love my new bike! I have really enjoyed riding it. Slipping Gears have been really helpful throughout the process - buying it and since. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The staff work to get to know you. When I have a question, their answers are based on solid knowledge of the products. Servicing and upgrades are handled really quickly.

Outstanding service and sales. Always available to answer my questions and provide feedback when needed. They do a lot for the biking community in our area and I am proud to wear their Jersey when I am riding in public! You really can't do better than Slipping Gears Cycling!

Had a great time shopping here. They helped me find the right bike for me, and even had a good used one for my daughter. Very knowledgeable. Great prices too!

No kidding, the best sales experience I've ever had. No pressure, no up-selling, just great customer service and straight forward answers. I found exactly what I wanted quickly and I was on my way. I also like that the price on the tag is the total price including tax etc. Overall a really positive experience and I highly recommend Slipping Gears for anyone, regardless of experience level. Great store

I came in on a Monday morning to have my bike boxed up and shipped. They accommodated me right away, and followed up on Tuesday with a phone call and email to say it was complete. Wow! Never had such quick turnaround! Thank you, Slipping Gears!
