“The small shop on East William Street, with bikes locked out front and tires hanging from the ceiling, is a real neighborhood gem. Trends have come and gone over the years, but Bicycle Express owners Karen and Chuck Clifford have managed to ride them all”

  •   Came today, this is an awesome bike shop that prides itself in quality friendly service.  They sell quality products and fixed my flat for a competitive tube and service price.  I asked for some questions for a rack and they had solid recommendations.  Support your local shops!

      BE via Bicycle Express is a very small local shop on E Williams, Is a pit stop for me every couple months for adjustments and maintenance for my bikes. I pass through Downtown often so its convenient for those that do the same. I like how they have a pump and tool pole for any customers to use, whenever really.  A solid spot with quick turn around haven't had wait no more than half an hour (30) on the kinds of small jobs done on my bike. I think the shop is run by a family trio/team of Dad, Mom, Son and mechanics? Jessica!! lol. No diss or anything, but this place does not off give off a yuppie/upscale or trendy feel, but that's whats awesome about it. Definitely has an 80's 90's charm. Overall a place I recommend for anyone looking to buy and or get a bike fixed, great people!!

  •   Cool place. They are nice and will let you test ride their bikes. When they let me do so, they actually take the time to make adjustments so when I ride it, it was much more comfortable and fitting such that I actually want to buy it. I didn't though because wasn't sure but I've been thinking about the place since.

      Very careful about covid safety.  Extremely helpful explaining options and why certain things are important. Nice people. They don't fix things that don't need fixing. Love this place! This was my neighborhood bike shop and now that I've moved, I still come here even though there are closer bike shops.

      Recently I got a flat tire, so stopped by to get a new tube. Bought a backup one too since the price was really reasonable. However the tube went loose and released air without any usage of bike after a day. Returned to the shop and was given a free tube. The manager is a very gentle and polite man. Reasonable conversation and willing to go far and beyond to make their customer happy. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for your honest and great service.
