Bicycle Roots at 609 Nostrand - Opening Day June 1st

Hello neighbors,

This is a quick note to announce that Bicycle Roots, a full service bike shop relocated to Crown Heights from Bed-Stuy, is having it's opening day today, June 1st. We'll be open from 11:00-6:00. After today, our hours are as follows:

Closed Mondays

Tuesday-Friday 10:00-7:00

Saturday 11:00-6:00

Sunday 11:00-5:00

The address is 609 Nostrand Ave between Dean St and Bergen St. Please try to stop by and check it out. We have so much to offer!

The owners of Bicycle Roots are Crown Heights locals and we care about the same local and city-wide issues that you do, which is why we've been lurking on this board for a while. Thanks for being such a great source of local information!

Enjoy the weekend!

  • Huzzah! Could you post some of your prices for basic services? Flat fixes, wheel truing, bark adjustments ect.?

  • Newguy: Flat fixes are $14.50, Tune ups are $75. We're working on our full labor rate sheet and we'll post it here when it's complete. All labor prices are subject to the mechanics' discretion- they can cost less or more depending on the bike's condition. But we always provide a comprehensive estimate before we do any mechanical service.

    And now, pictures!
