What a great shop! I was coming to visit Charlottesville from another country. I talked with them a few times before I arrived, and they had everything waiting for me. My new Specialized was dialed in and built perfectly. I love my new bike. They coordinated with me a few times on the phone--great follow up, excellent service. Thank you for making the whole process so easy.

I have taken my bike in a couple time times and received expert, timely service. I was on a ride today and needed a quick fix that required a specialized tool. I stopped by and one of fellas I've always seen in the shop stopped what he was doing and made the quick repair for me. I was in and out in a couple minutes without an appointment despite them being busy on a spring day. I know that was exceptional and I appreciate it!

Just moved to the area. Stopped in around 4:30 to see if they could replace a bearing in my front hub. Met one of the owners Scott, he said he would take care of it and should have it done in a day or two. Received a text just before they closed saying it was ready for pickup. Exceeded my expectations.... Think I found my new local bike shop.

Best bike shop in Charlottesville by far! The staff is so helpful and friendly. The shop has a great vibe! They are happy to help you out with your bike even if you didn't buy it in their shop. Mark is fantastic with advice and repairs. Their maintenance and repair prices are so affordable and sometimes just insanely low price for the service you get. If you need a bike shop in Cville, look no further, you've found it!

Blue Wheel was great - they quickly diagnosed the issue with my bike, fixed it and I was on my way. Great pricing for a quick fix as well. I’ll definitely come back here for all my bike needs

Wow! Anne and Mark are amazing! They set up a station at Fry’s Springs Triathlon to support the racers, I showed up with a flat tire and forgot my patch kit, and they took care of the bike. No questions, no charge, just fast and super-friendly. Thanks to you, my daughter is on her way to completing her first triathlon!You all are the best, so thank you!

This shop is a bike rider's dream. Scott, Paul and Mark always treat you with the utmost respect when you walk in. Their knowledge and willingness to bend over backwards to help is unsurpassed. Recently, I was in need of a new road bike and they were the only shop I considered.

I stopped by to drop off my bike. I expected to leave it there for a week. I described the problem and they fixed it on the spot. They only wanted to charge me $ 25.00.... crazy... no way I was going to let them get away with that absurdly low price... great shop. Always go out of their way to solve your problem.

In a bike world of options, Blue Wheel is an excellent choice. Great customer service, quick turnaround times, and they go the extra mile to look over every part of your bike and make sure the rider is happy. The mechanics are great at recommending how to care for and prevent excessive wear to your bike. Inventory is excellent, and they stock various parts for every budget. They are also committed to sponsoring local youth racers and helping with community events. It's hard not to love these guys.

We just moved to the area and I needed service on a badly blown tubeless tire. The care and attention my bike received was greatly appreciated. Everyone was kind and extremely knowledgeable. Within 20 minutes I received a fixed bicycle and some helpful advice! Thank you so very much. We'll definitely return for any of our cycling needs. Local bike shops are the best :)

These guys are great! They are well staffed, and very knowledgeable and friendly. I came in with a broken chain and they had me fixed up and on my way within 15 minutes! I definitely recommend checking them out for your bicycle needs!

Wonderful service! I was about to be out of town with my bike and really needed a new seat. I called them right before close and talked to Scott who was extremely pleasant and helpful! Scott and a coworker let me come in right at closing to get a measure and find the perfect seat. It’s very refreshing to go to a bike shop that you can tell they care about your bike experience.

Spoke with Paul and received some very good advice based on my feed back to him about the type of riding I'm doing now and what I'm looking for next. Recommended the Specialized Fuze hard tail. Showed me an E-bike as well would have been really tempting if it had been a large frame! I can tell this is a shop with people who are passionate about cycling.Thank you for your time Paul! 👍

Best bike shop in Cville! I've been to many of them around town and Blue Wheel is by far the most friendly, honest and fairly priced. Excellent customer service and they really do a quick and through job every time. When I have questions about regular maintenance or basic repairs they'll help me over the phone or tell stop by there sometime, bring me back into the shop and show me exactly what needs to be done.

Best bike shop in the area! Prices are extremely reasonable and they take the time to ensure that you'll be satisfied with your purchase with great tech help, friendly service, and a quick turnaround. One of the owners even kept the shop open after hours for me since I was coming from out of town. Just to prove how good of a shop they are, I drove 110 miles just to shop and purchase a bike from Blue Wheel Bicycles. Thanks again and a big Kudos to Scott!

Awesome local bike shop - selling Specialized and now Santa Cruz and Scott. Top notch service if you need your bike fixed as well. Paul and his team are some of the best - highly recommended

Best bike shop in Cville hands down. Brought my road bike to the other independent shop in town for same repair three times with no success (I bought the bike there). Took it to Blue Wheel - rides perfect now. These guys know what they’re doing and are super helpful. Will buy all my future bikes here.

My Marin bike was "rode hard and put away wet," and very much in need of some TLC since I rarely had it serviced. I'm a very neglectful owner. I brought it to Blue Wheel and they did a great job cleaning in up, replacing the worn-out parts, and making all the necessary lubricating and adjustments to the chain, shifters etc etc. When I got it back, all the creaks, groans, and thumps were totally gone -- it was like riding on a cloud, dare I say as good as new? It was also ready for pickup when promised. Based on my experience, I would definitely go back there and recommend them to others.

Excellent service! I brought my bike in for a fitting, they took their time made small adjustments and then told me to ride my bike for a while and come back for further adjustments. When I went back they made more adjustments but didn't charge me anything to do them.I went to another popular bike shop in town before coming to Blue Wheel and the bike fit at this other shop caused several issues and a lot of pain (sold me zero float cleats). Blue Wheel too time to address all my issues and make sure the fit much better for me. Riding my bike is a totally different experience thanks to Blue Wheel.

Blue Wheel Bicycles went above and beyond for me when I brought my commuter bike into their shop. I appreciated them listening to my issue then diagnosing what the problem was and showing me what needed to be done. I also needed a new rear tire and they brought out different options of various durability and pricing options and let me choose the tire that worked best for my needs. I will be bringing my bike back to Blue Wheel Bicycles.

I've bought 2 bikes and had several serviced here over the years. I've always been happy with everything about it.

I came to Blue Wheel from South Carolina to pick up a bike they had in stock. The guys were very helpful over the phone and in person. Great experience!

Brought my Specialized Turbo Levo in for Battery not charging. They diagnosed the issue and worked with Specialized directly to replace the battery under warranty. This was going to be $800.00 to replace the battery. Roger and the staff at Blue Wheel went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. Very honest and transparent way of working. Thank you very much! I will be back to buy all of my Biking needs from Blue Wheel. #Specialized, #BlueWheel

Love the service at Blue Wheel. I went in requesting a new chain. I got the new chain, new rear gear cable, wheel alignment, front derailleur adjustment, test ride, and it was at a great price.

Bought a bike here recently and had a great experience. The store was following all covid procedures, Scott was knowledgeable about the various bikes in the store, and I was able to get everything else I needed all at once. Awesome store and great staff.

Excellent service department - Scott P. has worked on many of my bikes (often sporting a mixed bag of tired parts) and is incredibly skilled, kind, and generous with his knowledge. Everything is always done well and on time. BONUS: Tacos next door!

The best. I don't bring a bike anywhere else if I have a choice. Scott used to lead trail rides for a group of us Nelson County kids and basically taught me everything I know about bikes and riding. You can't do better than Blue Wheel.
