Review of International Bicycle Shop:

"So I previously wrote a great review of a 'rival' bike shop. I still very much like that bike shop, and I did purchase by bike there (spending WAY to much money)

But I have started going to International, and am happy I did.
I first went to International due to its convenience. I switched to a new Gym in December, and I pass International on the way home. So it isnt out of the way.

(Tip for those with cars, there is a small parking lot in the back, just drive through Budget rental)

Since then, I have purchased a multitude of random parts, Including a new fancy wheelset,  and helped three friends buy bikes there too. The owner, Harold, is almost always there, and is helpful and remembers you. the staff remembers you and are friendly.

A couple great examples of the staff, how they help, remember you, and gain loyalty.

1. After having my bike tuned up (and now keep in mind, I have always done stuff myself to my bikes. I used to be a shop rat and bike mechanic, but they had a deal where if you got a tune up - $70 - you saved 20% off Accessories.. well, thats $260 off my $1300 wheelset - so it was a good deal!), I still had an issue. I brought it back, they found the issue, fixed it, no cost. The service you expect

2. I lost two screws out of the cleat for my shoe. I went in, they found two, handed them to me, no charge.

3. I do a 7 day, 550+ mile charity bike ride every year. I went in and talked to harold about buying tubes for the ride support (a box of 50), told him what for, etc. He gave them to me for wholesale (or actually even below I think) to help out the cause.  They do a LOT for fundraising and Charity - Especially PanMass challenge and LiveStrong, which I support a lot!

It reminds me a lot of the bike shops I used to work in out in Western MA. Friendly, they remember you, and if you are loyal, they help you out.

if you are in the area, there is no better choice for a bike shop."
