  My favorite bike shop in all of Tallahassee! These guys really know their stuff and are willing to drop everything to help you. More often than desired, I have come in with a flat and they've fixed it up in minute so I could still be to class on time. The staff is extremely friendly and always fun to chat to as they finish the repairs. They also offer free air up on your tires and lubing of the chains if you need it and don't have all the equipment yourself. If you live anywhere near campus, make University Cycles your bike shop of choice!

  I bought my first real (non-Wal-Mart) bike from these guys about 5 years ago. They've been super helpful throughout the years and I really like the way I'm treated. They stand behind their work and put the customer first. Some things are a dollar or 2 more expensive than you find elsewhere but it's worth it because they'll do things like give you a reflector for free or other sorts of nice touches.
  
  update 2017: It's been over a decade since I bought my Diamondback Peak here and I'm riding it a few times per week (I need to give my other bikes some love). If you're debating getting a bike from these guys, you won't regret it.

  TLDR: Buy from University Cycles!
  
  Went in to buy a bike and was surprised by the level of care, knowledge, and experience in each of the employees. After picking out a bike I was interested in, the employee servicing me had me convinced it was a great bike for me, yet he didn't let me buy it until I had ridden it and got a feel for it. Since it was raining that day, he told me to come back the next day to try it out and see if it was really the bike I wanted. They re no trying to make a quick buck off you. They truly care that you get the right bike and are knowledgeable about everything needed to take care of your bike.
  
  PRICE: Reasonable
  You can find bikes online cheaper (not by much), but the store offers free services to make sure your bike is breaking in correctly. This type of service is by far worth buying from this establishment.
  
  CUSTOMER SERVICE / KNOWLEDGE: Exceptional
  You can not beat the customer experience at University Cycles. All questions and concerns I had were answered in a thorough and helpful response.

  I needed to get my son's tube replaced and this shop is close to FAMU, had good reviews so I decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed. They are not only very efficient and have good prices, but personable. That's a big plus for me. Cooper, the sweet pup in the shop is the icing on the cake. I will definitely make sure I continue to do business with them.

  They ordered and built a Surly cross bike for me and have been a pleasure to work with (they also can order other specialty lines, such as Salsa). They have been patient in helping me find the right position on the bike. They also provide free tune-ups during the first year. They do not push their products or accessories. I would highly recommend that you check them out.

  I went here on 9/30/16 for a gear problem. I spent only 20-25 minutes here. The employees were helpful and professional and I paid only 40 dollars for a part and the labor costs. Definitely now a loyal customer

  This is a great local shop! The owner is always there, and the employees are super friendly. I've already been there twice, and they offered me great deals on fixing my bike. I recommend going to them for anything that you might need on your bike.

  Cheapest, fastest bike shop for maintenance and repair in town. Other places will charge more and require you to usually put your bike in the queue which means 2 trips to drop it off and then pick it up. Good customer service, friendly atmosphere. They have very affordable bikes as well, mostly Fuji, Raleigh, and a lot of MTB's
