I seemingly upset the repairs staff by politely knocking on the window, when no one acknowledged me for the 5 minutes I stood there. I didn't think I'd done anything egregious. I'd recommend putting up a "please don't knock on the window" sign if knocking is considered rude to your staff. It was really a strange experience.
However, the sales staff on the other side were extremely helpful and nice.
I was able exchange my daughter's bike, purchased for abotu $400 in 3 years ago for $150, which I applied to a new bike -- which was ready 1 day after we purchased. Could not have been easier.
The Bicycle Habitat mechanic team was accurate, honest, and quick with their assessment and the work they performed. Everything arrived when they said it would arrive and the work was done when they said it would be done. It was everything I hoped for. Thanks again!
Friendly mechanics and staff who don't make me feel like an idiot for being a recreational cyclist with limited knowledge. Also reasonable prices and quick turnarounds!
great customer service and explanation of options
Justine was great! So knowledgeable. Bicycle Habitat is a treasure for the neighborhood!

I always get treated well at this store. The people are helpful and nice and welcoming. And the mechanics always do an outstanding job on my bicycles.
Sales staff very knowledgeable and helpful with selection of bike for my grandson.
Very friendly and helpful
I spent a couple of hours at your store on Wednesday. Kate M listened to what I thought I wanted. She pointed out a bike I hadn't known about. I rode it: roughly a 5mi ride around Prospect Park, long enough to get a good feel for what the bike is like. I talked with Kate about it. She made another recommendation. I rode that one also. This comparison was very useful: it showed me that there were at least 2 things about the second bike that I didn't like.
We arranged for me to come in again on Friday to try the bike I had originally gone in wanting. Kate wasn't there, so I worked with Liz. I tried out that bike and talked it over with Liz. In the end, Kate's first choice was the right one for me. Liz helped me figure out all the little bits and pieces that I would need.
The experience was great. Kate and Liz could spend the time I wanted talking about the bikes. They're knowledgeable and sensible. The store policy for trial rides is phenomenal. I felt comfortable and unpressured. The store policies for purchases are also terrific: if for whatever reason I don't like this bike, and I keep it in like-new condition, I can exchange it within 30 days, or just return it.
Personalized attention and professional service
Service is always excellent, would recommend.
Great friendly service!
always has what i'm looking for; helpful and welcoming staff--bike shops always run the risk of having a bad vibe especially if you aren't a bike expert, but i've always been so impressed with how willing staff is to answer questions and offer lots of options to meet my needs
I just find your mechanics always helpful. I've been to the shop several times and I haven't had a bad experience. Also, took my bike out for a ride today and it was much smoother than when I brought it in
Friendly and knowledgable staff who were very helpful. Good deals. Happy to support a bike shop that's been around NYC since 78. Salute to the team!
I PAID 119.00$ FOR A SADDLE THAT I COULD'VE PURCHASED ELSEWHERE FOR 60.00$. SAME BRAND SADDLE.
You all really paid attention to my needs and made sure my bike fit well. Big fan of your work!
So friendly! Efficient! Knowledgeable!
