Ashmont Cycles

What can I say? Incredible service and fair prices. This place is great and I will be back.

I had a great experience with Ashmont Cycles today as a novice rider. I came in with an older used bike I bought off Craigslist. Bethel tuned it up right away while I waited, plus gave me real advice (not a sales pitch) on accessories. An excellent resource to have in the neighborhood, I will be back.

Can’t say enough good things about Jack & Victor at Ashmont Cycles. Fair, honest and deliver great customer service. I purchased a new bike about 2 months ago — it ended up being too tall for me — contacted them and they exchanged it for another beautiful Breezer that I can actually ride. No arguments & wanted to make sure I had a bike that fit me. Very gracious & courteous staff and just phenomenal customer service.

I took my nearly brand-​new Fuji bike in for some adjustments to the squeaking brakes and have some security skewers installed. I also wanted to have it looked over by professional eyes to make sure everything was initially assembled correctly. I had talked to a couple other shops and got some mixed information. I was a bit reluctant at first because I don’t have much bike shop experience and most every bike shop I’ve been in had the somewhat-​typical hipster, obvious bike nuts for staff and the guys at this shop are just normal guys like you and me… (somewhat stereotypical of an observation, I admit but I have to be honest with my previous experiences because the staff at those shops were very dismissive and often not very helpful or informative for someone like me who isn’t a bike expert)
I say that because these guys are on their game! Every person in the shop was highly knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, polite, and professional. I was more than pleased with my experience and the guys got my bike tuned up like a champ! They could have taken me to the cleaners and recommended a full tune up plus adjustments, parts and install fees and all that, but they charged me an incredibly reasonable rate to take care of my bike and it was done super fast. I’ll definitely take it back for anything I need! I highly recommend Ashmont Cycles! Thanks again guys!

Jack, Victor and the rest of the crew at Ashmont Cycles went above and beyond to get me a new Kestrel 4000 triathlon carbon fiber frame. Their customer service and attention to detail was top notch. Jack was very responsive via email/​phone, providing updates on the bike build. If you’re looking for a local bike shop that’s knowledgable and honest, swing by Ashmont with your need/​budget and they’ll make it happen.

These folks have saved me and my worn and used bikes quite a few times! Recently, a minor repair uncovered a slew of loose hardware. Super friendly and very fair prices!

Great service and very fair prices. They had a great variety of bikes and found me exactly what I was looking for. If you’re looking for a place to buy a bike or your bike needs repairs– this is the place for you!

A local bike shop in Dorchester was a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Ashmont Cycles is conveniently located in Peabody Square across from the T, so if your bike is in no shape to ride to or from the shop, the Red Line is a good alternative. I have found their repair service to be very reliable, with a quick turnaround. For urban cyclists, there isn’t a whole lot they HAVEN’T encountered — I’ve brought in the same bike which was vandalized on two separate occasions, and they didn’t blink an eye. More importantly, the repair was done correctly, quickly, and at a fair price. Speaking of prices, they post their rates for all their services in plain sight, so getting «ripped off» isn’t an issue. and Jack has always let me know the price ahead of time anyway. I like to support local businesses as much as possible, so Ashmont has become my «go-​to» shop for repairs and accessories. (I can’t speak about bicycle purchases, although their inventory usually seems to be priced fairly). I honestly don’t know anyone with a $ 2500 + road bike, but for commuters and/​or weekend warriors who like to keep a decent ride well-​maintained, Ashmont Cycles is a smart local choice.

I would echo the sentiments of majority of the Unilocalers here. These guys are awesome. The staff is a mix of a couple of older gentlemen that seem like they have been honing their craft for ages with a few other younger apprentices; you can tell that they are mentoring them the right way.
I’ve come to these guys for miscellaneous purchases and little fixes here and there, but last week I dropped off my bike to have it overhauled with new Shimano components. I’ve since put about 30 miles on it in 2 days to get a feel for the bike and everything feels flawless. The gears shift up and down smooth throughout, brakes feel tight, and the crank glides. In addition, they trued the spokes on my rear wheels which had a lot of play and now the bike is extremely stable at high speeds. I am more than satisfied; I feel like this is an entirely new bike.
When I came to pick up my bike, the younger associate closing up shop (it was actually after hours but stuck around so I could pick up my bike) was super helpful and went through the entire bike with me and made me feel completely confident in their work. Pricing wise, they are on par with most Boston bike shops that I have come across, but at the end of the day, it’s the handy work that dictates customer satisfaction.
Thank you, guys! You know I’ll be back soon.

I love these guys, I’ve been in several times but most recently for a tune-​up. The rate is about the same as around town but they do a better job for the price. They told me up front of any problem areas they would address and the cost of those repairs. Friendly service, never pushy. My bike feels like a dream, thanks Ashmont Cycles!

Jack and all the fine folks at Ashmont Cycles really know their bikes and how to match each person to the bike that suits them best. Their customer service is excellent and everyone is so friendly. It’s awesome to have them in the neighborhood, but I think folks even from a little further afield will find it is worth the trip!

great service, honest people and decent prices. mostly have been here for accessories and tune-​ups on my piece of junk hybrid. i would buy a new bike here in a second.

I came to this bike shop because I am new to the area and was trying to find something close to home that could fix a broken shifter. They staff is really nice and from what I can tell knowledgable of bikes. They are geared more to novice cyclist and fixing/​tuning up what I like to call Walmart bicycles (POS, commuter bikes, garage sale bikes, etc.). If you are an experienced cyclist with a $ 2500+ ride I wouldn’t recommend this place. I took the chance and they fell short. I gave them 3 stars because they were helpful, friendly, and fairly priced, just not the most appropriate shop for what I needed.

Great Price
I borrowed a bike from my cousin. On my fourth ride, when I adjusted the twitch hardly to the point breaking it and fell apart. I had to get it fixed before return. I was afraid it would be expensive, because buying the part and plus labor cost here was (sometimes) almost half of the cost of new bicycle. I checked online, found this place, and read some good reviews, then called them to check the fee first: they said it estimated $ 27 if it was broken. but luckily they could fix it without replacement. After fixing the twitch and also adjust the gear as well, they charged only 5 bucks. Awesome! Definitely to go back and recommend to everyone!!!

Went back for a tune-​up and another flat repair — woohoo! I told them to make sweet sweet love to the bike and give it all the attention it needed. They put on new brake pads, a new chain and back cassette, and fixed the flat all for a price that I thought was more than reasonable on their end. Nice, honest, and fair-​minded people…
…AND they have a sense of humor. I brought my bike back because I deflated the back tire, couldn’t get it inflated, and felt like a moron for not being able to figure out why. Turns out it was my bike pump and, after discussing a few options, we decided on a $ 1.59 doohickey instead of a totally new pump. I told them they could laugh in my face for my bike ineptitude and they responded: «Oh no we wouldn’t do that! We’d laugh behind your back.»
Please do. Once again, I’ll definitely return here. Many thanks!

Really nice people.
I bought a CL bike that needed (I thought) a shifter cable replaced. I talked to them on the phone, and they said to come on down and they’d replace the cable and housing for about 20 bucks.
I went. They determined that the integrated shifter was actually broken. They tinkered with the integrated shifter for for about 10 minutes in an effort to repair it. They determined that the integrated shifter was junked. They put everything back together so I can ride it with just the rear gears for the time being. They told me what to look for in an ebay or CL replacement part, because retail for the part is more than I paid for the bike.
I tried to pay them for their labor. They declined. I said I’d bring it back when I was ready to repair. They said great.
The exact opposite of wheelworks snooty. Similar (but better) friendliness as Harris and also a bit cheaper it seemed.
Absolutely my new go to LBS.
Fuji road bikes. Commuting and BMX brands that I don’t remember.
On street parking is easy.

Jack and Kyle are great! They are helpful and honest and seem to truly enjoy cycling and just want to help others do the same. They were very accommodating to my price limits are offered practical advice as to how to move forward. I would highly recommend this place!

Wow what an incredible bicycle buying experience! The owner, Jack, is honest, thorough and a genuinely nice person who supports the community. I just wish I had more money so I could buy more bikes and accessories from this great little shop!

I’m really pleased to have bought my bike at Ashmont Cycles. I came because they carry Linus bikes — a sharp looking and practical line for the everyday commuter, harder to find than your average Trek, but totally worth searching out and test riding. But I’ll come back because it was just such a pleasant, friendly, and inviting place to shop. Great atmosphere, the owner seems like a nice guy who really likes the bikes he sells, and there’s a real sense of community spirit, which is nice. Also a plus — lots of useful accessories stocked for someone riding for pleasure or utility, instead of just the usual flashy race gear.

So happy that a bike shop has opened up in Dorchester, and to see them doing a brisk business so soon after opening!
Ashmont Cycles is a great little full-​service bike shop: sales, repairs, supplies, cycling accessories, etc. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They carry those lovely Linus bikes, Fujis, and SEs. They’re located next to the Ashmont Grill in Peabody Square.
