Cambridge Used Bicycles

I love this classic old Cambridge institution, “Cambridge Used Bicycles,” now in a smarter glass fronted shop. I visited them a year and a half ago, with a plan to by a bike and bring it with me unassembled to Guatemala, where it would become my daily user. They helped me select a great urban 7 speed, and let me try a couple of sizes, and sent me off on my adventure with my bike in a box, and great support for fitting and adjusting it when I got down there. Now, just today, a year and a half later, when I returned to the shop, they remembered me, and continued to be as helpful as anyone could possibly hope for! Kind, knowledgeable, and offering some really cool bikes in all sorts of price ranges. Really an exceptional experience!

Really great shop! Super knowledgeable and invested in getting you the right bike and teaching you how to keep good care of it! I tried out several bikes, riding around the parking lot until I found the one. Got a quick lesson on how to oil my chain, which was very helpful too. Came out with a ulock and bolts on my seat post and tires too. Highly recommend!

The people here were great!! I'm not knowledgeable about bikes and needed something for short daily commutes. They helped me figure out what size and type of bike I needed and completely adjusted everything for me once I'd picked one out. $300 for a bike in great condition, way safer than using Facebook Marketplace and way cheaper than buying something new! 10/10 would recommend!!

This place is great! There’s a neat selection of bikes, and the inventory is constantly changing (so even if they don’t have a bike for you on a particular day, in a week they might—that’s what happened in my case). The mechanics are also super friendly and helpful. Overall it was an awesome experience!
