User Reviews for Johnny Sprocket's

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

These guys have the best service - you break your chain, they fix it in 5 minutes $20. Broken pedal, they fix it in less than 5 minutes. These guys are quick and guarantee their work. Theis selection of new bikes is vast, you will be satisfied... and best of all, they will let you test-ride every damn bike in the place if you want before you make a decision to buy (all price ranges from $199-$5k).

Pros: They know what they are talking about

Cons: Space could be twice as big

Knowledgeable staff assessed needs and budget and offered good choices and ample riding time. No comission salespeople are very professional.

I brought my bike in for a quick tire fix (my wheel needed work too) and they had it done in about 15 minutes. The bike selection is extensive, although a little expensive. All the bases were covered as far as accessories, but I thought the selection was a little limited in brand names. One very cool thing about this location is that they have an air hose outside for anyone to use.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

If you want help direct from the owner, D.J. Riordan is your man--for now. In a few years, you'll get the store's namesake. Riordan, a corporate retiree, opened the shop five years ago so that son John (in his 30s now) could eventually take the lead.
