I am am relieved to finally find a good old neighboorhood bike shop that believes in treating people right and not ripping people off. If you're not too familiar with the ins and outs of what makes your bicycle work not only will the guys at Houston Bicycle Co. walk you through them, but they won't try to break your bank. Watch out, however, if you're a snobby ""know-it-all"" who thinks that two years in the saddle makes up for the over 30 years of experience these guys have- cos if you cop an attitude with the laid back crew at Houston Bicycle Co. you'll most likely be asked to take your business elsewhere. Personally, when I didn't have a bike rack for a ride one of the guys lent me his own.
Pros: not snobby, very helpful, excellent repairs
Cons: closes at 6pm, small, don't have much merch
