This shop has a real friendly and knowledgable staff and a nice selection of bikes and bike accessories. They're not as huge as their sister store up in Belmont, but if it's too hard to get up to Belmont, this place is fine. For local bike shops, the most important thing is probably the staff, and everytime I've gone here, they've been helpful and know what they're doing.

Ace Wheelworks has all the latest bikes, but they'll still take good care of your 1960's touring bike. There is one guy there who specifically knows the old bikes and sometimes they've held my jobs for him. They won't mess around unless they know what they're doing. I like Ace because they don't talk down to you and they'll do little jobs, like fixing a kickstand or adjusting a chain, for free. I've learned a lot going there as the employees explain what they're doing to my bike. If your three-speed needs a serious overhaul, you might want to spring for Ferris Wheels down in JP, but I have faith in Ace on this side of the river.

A bicycle can be a great tool, and Wheelworks is a great place to pick one up. They offer very competitive prices and have great semi annual sales which really bring in crowds. The repair department is impressive too, and they really do the job right the first time. When trying out a bike, be sure to give it a test ride around the neighborhood. Wheelworks is located minutes from the Porter Square T Stop on the Red Line.
