Provided à demo ebike for a ride. No pressure on bike recommendation. Knowledgeable staff and great service.
Service department is incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve found the Green Lizard can be a bit standoffish and elitist but the Bike Lane never makes me feel bad about asking questions and takes the time to explain stuff and just generally be helpful.
Best bike shop around!!!
Friendly, knowledgeable service. Always a great experience
If it was just a bike shop I wouldn't stop by often. The fusion of bike shop and brewery/cafe is the magic. Couple that with the proximity to the W&OD, but more importantly Lake Fairfax Bike Trail system and you have a place I want to spend most of my time (if I could). This might be the only establishment where I can say I feel a sense of neighborship with the people who work there, and the regulars. I think the regulars feel the same way too.
I appreciate several aspects of The Bike Lane's products and services. The quality of the bikes themselves is exceptional. The wide range of options caters to all cyclists, from casual riders to serious enthusiasts, making it easy to find the perfect bike for any need.
In terms of service, the guys are knowledgeable and attentive, providing expert advice and personalized recommendations. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in their willingness to answer questions, offer maintenance tips, and ensure that each bike is properly fitted and tuned before it leaves the store.
Additionally, the store offers a comprehensive array of accessories and gear, allowing customers to fully equip themselves for any biking adventure. The convenient location and welcoming atmosphere further enhance the overall shopping experience. Also, visit their brewery if you're a beer lover or enjoy a refreshing lemonade for a perfect end to your visit or after a tough ride.
Super helpful staff and very knowledgeable.
"WOW" - That's literally the only word I kept repeating after my experience at this store! I am a bike novice but in the spirit of enjoying something in common with my partner, I decided it was time to venture into bike buying. I went on a rainy Saturday after a quick search of stores in the area and wasn't too sure what I was even getting myself into. From the moment I walked in, Mike greeted me and helped to ease that deer-in-the-headlights look I know I had! That day was centered on research, education, and narrowing down to a selection that made sense for my situation and price-point. He took his time, explained all the pros and cons of each option and I left with a confident sense of what I needed. There was never once any pressure to purchase and walking out with my price quote in hand and lots to think over, it was a success. A little over a week later, I returned with my partner in order to finally make a decision and that's where my experience was just beyond the already high expectations set in my first store venture! I don't even have the words to express my gratitude and appreciation of how Marc educated and handled the sale. He walked through all of the information again and I was so excited to land on a Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 AXS Gravel bike that met all my needs plus some. Marc made sure to explain all of the accessory options and prioritize those things that were "must haves" to start and more "come back later" items to help balance the pricing and expectations. He never once rushed or pressured to make a choice and at one point when I was deciding between two options, he very supportively said "grab a coffee, think it over, make the choice that's right for you". Marc explained how even when the bike arrives, there's never any pressure in terms of changing a decision or refunds. Fast forward to picking up the bike (only a few days later!!), it was a seemless and fun experience with Marc once again. He pre-sized the bike perfectly and it was a fabulous time putting on all of the accessories and making sure I had everything I needed. The store automatically submitted the bike registration to Trek and made it as user friendly as possible to ride and go! I can't thank everyone in the store nearly enough for taking the mystery and anxiety out of an intimidating experience for the "bike newbie" - now I excitedly await when I can ride off of the W&OD and grab a coffee one weekend with Marc and Mike while fawning over my new bike!!
As always, I was provided expert and excellent advice along with outstanding service. My favorite bike shop!
Derrick is the best!

The Bike Lane is a little bike store with a mini brewery in it. The employees seem to like what they do and be knowledgeable. Cool spot, I like it!
Nice people. Thank you Tom for figuring out that the chain wasn’t long enough.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff!
Kniwledgrabke friendly people. Thon’t always get orders correct or modify one when they come in. Ultimately, they correct get it right.
I love The Bike Lane! This is a family owned store that supports youth programs and really takes care of their customers. Everybody is super friendly and they’re more than happy to help with all your cycling needs.
I was not happy with the demeanor in which the service person handled my needs.
Nothing can be done at this point. I honestly will likely not come back to get work done on my bike.
Staff was very attentive, helpful, offered good suggestions, and was not focused on trying to upsell. You could tell that everyone uses the products and they are riders.
Friendly staff and quick, quality service. They fixed up my kid’s first bike and ensured it was safe for him to ride. I happened to have a work meeting in the same building after I dropped the bike off, and they finished working before my meeting ended. I will definitely be coming back for service and new bikes for the rest of the family!
Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional service. The beer is pretty good too.
Thank you to Todd and Marc for working with me to find the right bike and add the customizations I needed! Happy to recommend to others!
All the staff I have ever talked to at the bike lane have been extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Most of them have recognized me again after meeting me once. The selection of products available is also above average for bike shops.
Mark is very knowledgeable and very friendly, went extra mile to help choosing a bicycle for my daughter. This is my 2nd purchase from this shop and I'm sure there will be more in the future.
