Cycle Sport Ellicott City: A Real Bike Shop
For the best sales, service, and bike know-how, the staff at this bike shop knows their stuff.
In this bike shop, there is just enough organization and just enough clutter to let you know that they love working on and selling bikes. Paul, a staff member, said that there is a big difference between bike shops and bike stores: the main purpose of bike stores is selling. Cycle Sports is not a showroom; it is what one woman called “a real bike shop.” As a customer, it is clear that this place takes bikes seriously and wants their customers to enjoy their biking experience as much as the staff does.
Cycle Sport sells road bikes, cruisers, kid’s bikes, mountain bikes, and anything that seems to involve two wheels that are pedaled by two feet for recreation. They feature the brand Giant as well as Specialized bikes in all kinds of varieties.
Family friendly and approachable, they have a good selection of bikes for children and for adults of all riding levels. Every kind of eyewear is available to shade and protect: goggles, glasses, and sunglasses. Other kinds of safety gear are also displayed: helmets, pads, and lights. Additional equipment like water bottles, gloves, and odometers also are for sale. Then there are the supplies for serious long term riders who want to travel with their bike -- racks of travels accessories like bike packs, bags, tents, and compact kits.
Cycle sport is also a full service bike center that can repair, upgrade, and maintain bikes. They staff seems very knowledgeable about bike maintenance and accommodations. They have a machine called the Body Scanner that helps fit riders properly to their bikes. Beyond just measuring height and matching gender specification, the tall, formidable machine also measures weight, arms, legs, and torsos for those who want their bike to feel like it was custom fit for them. This is especially appealing for cyclists who train for races, take long rides, go off roading, and for overall safety for the average rider.
If you are someone who can tool on your own bike then they have a great selection of parts and tools.
Their business card says it all. It reads : "16 years of providing fine bicycles.” Then on the back of the card, it reads: “My Job Description: Talk To You About Bikes. How Cool Is That?” The staff at Cycle Sport love biking and this passion and commitment shows in their sales and service.
