Dan and the staff at Colonial Bicycle company were terrific. I spoke to them by phone and emails on the purchase of my new Mtn Bike but the best experience was in person. The most friendly and straightforward bicycle shop that I have purchased from in the last 30 years. I will be a repeat customer.
The whole team was great! I got my bike tuned up and had a brake repair done. Excellent work! Bike is running like brand new. I even added a request to fix an additional item and they took care of it promptly. Great team!
Colonial Bicycle Company has been incredibly helpful on more than one occasion. Quality products, thorough and knowledgeable team. This is the place I trust with my bike & gear.
Great service and efficient. They squeezed me for a bike 911 and I am super grateful. Great team!
These guys are no nonsense, get the job done repair techs. Theyre our first and only stop for anything cycle related.
The staff at Colonial Bike were knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciate their adherence to COVID protocols, something not all bike shops follow.
Always happy to go back for a new bike, Sam has been great for years! Excellent customer service.
Staff is very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Tune-up & tire change was completed on time and as quoted.
They had the bikes we wanted and were very quick to get them put together and ready for us. Great service!
Alway a pleasure buying a Trek bike from Colonial Bicycle Shop in Portsmouth, NH. In 2020 we purchased a Trek Remedy 9.7 and a Trek Fuel EX 9.7. Both purchases went absolutely flawless and both bike have been assembled perfectly. From off my Jeeps bike rack to the trails not one single adjustment was needed during the afternoon ride. We are really enjoying our new whips. Thank you again to the staff and friends at Colonial Bicycle Shop. Cheers
Still 5-stars for outstanding customer service. Ive purchased shoes and helmets here as well as had a bike serviced. I also bought a bike here during their annual used bike sale. The service remains as good as ever. Special thanks to Sam who seems to always be working and always really helpful.
I purchased a Trek Farley 9.6 from Colonial via their website. I promptly received a call from Mack who advised their hours for pickup as I was traveling in from out of the area. I went their a few days after, and yhe bike was built, ready and waiting. They made it easy, and it could have been anything but.. thank you guys!
Sam was super helpful! He always provides exceptional customer service!
Really important for us all to be outside and taking advantage of the nicer spring days. Biking is one way to ensure you socially distance but still get exercise and fresh air. I am constantly reminded of the need for more open spaces . I am Grateful for folks at Colonial Bicycle during this time. Brought my bike in for tune up.. super easy and convenient drop off and pick up, great communication outstanding thorough work. Worth every penny to have my bike ready, cleaned and tuned during the pandemic. Highly recommend them for your biking needs!
Charles was very knowledgeable and helpful in our bike search; would definitely return for future bike needs. The only thing requiring improvement would be communication on the bike being ready. The bike we purchased had to be built and picked up at a later date. I called a week after purchase to check in, as it’s a Christmas gift. Turns out, the bike was ready but no one had called to let me know. A small thing (not worthy of affecting rating, personally), and no blame on Charles. Service was also excellent via phone call, which was answered by various other employees.
Josh was very accommodating and helpful for a multiple small repairs. Responsive via email and fixed in about 15min flat the very next day they were open! Thanks again! Ive already recommended Colonial to my friends for all their bike needs.
I brought in 2 bikes that had been in storage for 2 1/2 years. Colonial did a great job getting both bikes in to shape. Staff is friendly and helpful. Repair was completed on time and the price was very reasonable.
Quality products, but especially the knowledge and helpfulness of Josh and Sam. If I were starting a bike shop I would do all I could to hire them. Theyre great!
I went in about a month ago to just get info on buying a good entry level Mountain bike. I spoke with Charles. He was super helpful and friendly. I told him I was interested in the Roscoe Series, and he showed me a Roscoe 7 and let me ride it out back of the store. He took the time to explain all the new technology to me, and I opened up a line of credit that day. I had to get some ducks in a row, but I returned a few weeks later, with my wife, and we also looked at a Cruiser for her. I took home the Roscoe 7 that day, with Pete helping us that day. Wicked nice guy. I bought some accessories as well, and we had to order the Cruiser because it wasnt in stock. Got a call about a week later stating the Cruiser was ready, and we went to pick it up. Picked up a few more accessories that night. Every single transaction has been pleasant, and I will continue to do business with Colonial because of this. And one thing to note, I was recommended to this shop from a friend of mine, and we both live 1 hour away from Portsmouth, in Southern Maine! It is worth the drive for the excellent service, and variety of stuff available here!
Have been a customer of Colonial for many years. Peter has a great team. Everyone I’ve dealt with is professional and very knowledgeable about cycling. Recently had my bike converted to a flat bar. Billy was incredibly helpful and so precise in planning the change. Josh did the work and all came out perfect. Lots of bike choices and places for service, but Colonial is second to none. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
This place is awesome! The store is Clean and organized. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The service is done right and done fast! Highly recommend!
Great service, listened to my needs and didnt try to oversell me. Actually talked me out of stuff I didnt need!! Great bunch of folks who really take pride in doing a good job.
Great CompanyGood ServiceEasy to work withHighly recommended
Pete and another young man whose name I cannot remember, were so very knowledgeable and helpful. My boyfriend won a bike for me in an auction donated by Colonial Bicycle to support the Special Olympics. This was my Christmas gift from him. Ive been wanting to get back to riding and look forward to consulting with Colonial Bicycle for all my needs, and questions. And its a very nice store with everything for biking!
Bike is great. Have used Colonial for many years and always great service in the shop, and always go the extra mile to take great care of customers. Would recommend for both sales, service, and parts.
Great experience with Sam. He walked me through everything yet was not pushy about anything. A++
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. My bike looks great and runs beautifully! Glad I went here.
Sam in sales and Josh in Service have always been extremely helpful and pleasant with my cycling needs over the years. It’s always an easy, no stress interaction at the shop.
Colonial bike has a knowledgeable staff, expert repair crew that hustles to get ur bike repairs in and out in a timely manner and competitive pricing. They’re a great community bike shop!
Easiest bike buying experience ive ever had. Staff is super friendly and accomodating. If your looking for a Trek bike specifically dont go anywhere else!
They did an excellent job converting an 90s Full Suspension Trek to a Single-speed for me. There protocol for COVID is efficient and professional. They were great with updates on status and when I could pick it up.
Good service, but unreleable completion commitments.
My first experience 3 years ago with Colonial Bicycle was all it took to make me a customer for life. Aside from preferring the Trek brand, the entire staff at Colonial Bicycle is second to none. The attention provided by both sales and service makes being a faithful customer a no brainer. If you’re in the market for a bicycle whether you know what you want or in need of guidance, you will be sure to find complete satisfaction here.
Fast accurate service!
Although so far it seems the entire shop is helpful and friendly, Sam is the reason I bought a bike from Colonial. I looked at other shops in the area and none came close to his level of patience and willingness to take as much time as necessary to explain even the smallest things. Fantastic shop and I will be coming back regularly!
Awesome experience! Had trouble getting a Trek 520 to fit. Colonial went above and beyond in assisting and persevering to get it right! Special shout out to Billy whos fitting as well as mechanical expertise made it happen. Billy was simple outstanding in guiding me through a knowledgeable fit process and as I result I now fit perfectly on my new bike. Also shout out to Pete and Sam! Great folks. Thanks all for standing by your customers! Highly recommended!
Walked in and walked out with a huge smile on my face. Nice shop -easy parking, great customer service and without a question a fair price for the awesome Trek bike I bought for my sons 8th birthday. I will definitely be heading back!
Great, large facility with reliable service
Im not sure if I caught this guy on a bad day, or what, but I went in there inquiring on a couple different bike styles to see what was best for me, the guy working there with long hair, heavier set, and leg tattoos was extremely rude, unfriendly, and abrasive.I was asking different questions about the bikes, and every answer he gave me was snarky, rushed, and his attitude was extremely unprofessional. Had he of been friendly, I was most likely going to make a purchase. My intention was to get all the information I needed, and find the right bike for me. My experience here, although very short, was not a good one. I doubt I would give this place my business. Ill go as far as to say that this was one of the most unprofessional, unfriendly experiences Ive ever had in any store ever.
Very knowledgeable and trustworthy staff, both in retail and especially in the service department. I go to these guys over all other shops in the area. I trust theyre giving me options and the pros/cons of each as opposed to trying to upsell me unnecessarily.
The staff at Colonial Bicycle Company have been absolutely fantastic! They are patient, knowledgeable and professional. The staff have gone above and beyond with me and my family for anything from bike fit to adjusting my kids bikes at the local race series. I am so grateful to have such an excellent local bike shop and such amazing service!
The team was great! Very happy with the assembly of my ebike... even picked it up from FedEx for me. Sam kept me informed on the build and even helped me with a car rack selection, even those they didnt carry a brand that would work. Very professional!
Colonial Bicycle Company...these guys are awesome! I live in Portsmouth and I have a specialized bmx bike that I bought used recently that needed some repairs done. I was excited to get it repaired so I could take it for a ride that night. I called around 5:30pm and spoke to Sam to see if I could come by that day around 6:30 because they closed at 7pm. Sam was very nice and listened to the problems I was having with the bike. He said he was happy to look at it and to bring it by. I thought the brake cable just needed to be reconnected but it was really frayed on the end and I accidentally cut it too short so once he noticed that he brought it over to the mechanic and he started working on it right away. The mechanic worked on it for a solid 30 minutes and re-ran a new brake cable, tuned the brakes and reconnected all the components. I was a little concerned about what the price was going to be and was really surprised(in a good way) when he told me only $15 for all that work plus the part! Also,while I was waiting, Sam asked asked if I had any other general questions and was happy to answer several things I was wondering about. Overall great experience, they treated me like a VIP customer on the first visit. Anyone that needs bicycle work done or even a new bicycle as they have tons of beautiful new and used bikes, this is the place to go. Friendly and knowledgeable employees, welcoming, very clean and comfortable inside. Highly recommended!
Excellent service and great salespeople!! Highly recommend!!
Best LBS (Local Bike Shop) in the area. They have an excellent service staff of experienced mechanics and a retail staff that will listen to you and help you make great choices (I know...in a bike shop??? - its true!). They are a strong supporter of youth cycling in our area and are a GREAT place to get your kids next bike. They support the local high school bike teams and local youth mountain biking leagues. They sell TREK bikes and accessories from a ton of great companies. They also have a great local shop CX team that solidifies their relationship to our community!
Colonial bike has some of the nicest and most knowledgeable mechanics. They truly care what you’re looking for regarding your ride or your gear. They’ll happily share their knowledge and insight. They’re fast in their repair work yet thorough to forecast what to plan ahead for.
I needed some monkeylectric lights installed, some squeaky brakes fixed and overall cleanup. Staff was very helpful and everything was done was very fast. Highly recommend!
This bicycle shop is friendly and very familiar with their product. I had a problem with the bike I purchased. They had a problem diagnosing it but kept at it until they solved the problem. They have also helped me with problems over the phone. I love my bicycle and the people at Colonial Bicycle.
What a great group of folks to help with picking bicycles to meet your needs. Customer focused and the attention to detail is top-notch
Josh at Colonial fixed my Trek Domane after I crashed for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend these folks! They also have a great selection of new bikes in the show room.
Extremely helpful, friendly. Great experience.
The customer service and expertise was everything I could have hoped for. A warm staff who provides great tips and assistance. I will definitely be a long-term customer.
Great team of knowledgeable technicians and cycling sales specialists. They will put you on a ride that best fits your experience, goals and budget. One stop short large shop for all your cycling gear, accessory and training needs.
Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Purchased two new bikes and couldn’t be happier.
Ive purchased two mountain bikes and a bike rack from these guys, all in separate transactions. Staff were friendly and helpful every time!Service is excellent - I brought in two bikes requiring adjustments ten minutes before closing. No complaining. They took care of both bikes and never once mentioned I kept them there after closing time.Hours are excellent as well - Its difficult to get to some of the other local bike shops when they are open. Colonial Bicycle Company is open 7 days/week, most days until 7pm.
The crew is the best, very knowledgeable, extremely friendly. It is a great shop, one can never go wrong with a classy outfit like this.
I pass 3 other bikes shops on my way to Colonial. The best around by a long shot.
Great experience. The staff there pointed me into the right bike for me. Not pushy and trying to sell the most expensive products. They guide you into the right products for you. I will never go anywhere else.
Great crew, Pete and Billy are the best. Good people make all the difference.
Incredible service! They make sure your bike is right and ready for the road. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Keep up the great work!
Sam and Dan were very knowledgeable about Trek products and was able to custom fit me to my new bike needs. I felt very comfortable with the assessment and direction I received.
Pleasant experience! Sam and Dan were very helpful and I’d recommend highly!
Highly recommend Colonial and TREK bikes! Outstanding bike shop. Outstanding customer experience!!
My go to bike shop. Great service and product knowledge. Wide selection of accessories and clothing. After each bike service, my bikes are totally dialed in.
Prompt rebuild of a rear hub at a good price. I was texted when the work was done.
I was impressed by the quick and friendly service. As an out of towner, Dan saved my plans of being able to ride while in the area by helping me out with an unexpected problem.
I like that the shop is very proficient taking care of customers with high-end bikes. This is rare in my opinion. They are always very willing to help - Josh and Billy in particular recognize the importance of detail and getting the job done right... Billy is definitely an expert mechanic and was referred to my from a friend. I think Colonial should be considered a Shimano SSC. Thanks for all you do guys!
Great sales staff. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely will purchase my next bike from here..
Store staff are very knowledgeable and provide the highest level of customer service. The bike shop has a great selection of cycling products and the Trek bike brand is top quality.
I have been using Colonial as my go to shop for a couple of years now. I do a lot of my own work at home but when I get stuck, Pete, Josh, and Billy always help me out. They are always willing to give me advice or fix my screw ups...and they are not snarky about it like a lot of bike shop employees tend to be. I send a lot of friends to the shop too and they always have the same experience.
I picked up a jacket and some Gu there today, and I made it a point to chat with as many employees as I could. Josh, the bike mechanic, was a pleasure to chat with, was very knowledgeable and he answered some technical questions for me. The other employee, on the other hand, was much less enjoyable to interact with. Identified only as one of the managers, he did not greet me, did not offer any assistance, and was very terse while answering some of my questions. His sarcasm and a lack of product knowledge were also noted. I dont know his name, but hes the guy with long, unwashed hair, a little on the heavy side, and who wont look up from his computer screen for anything- especially not to help customers. Although the prices are fine and the shop itself was tidy and spacious, I hope that if I ever go back for anything, that theres someone other than Greasy McJerkface to help me out.
Awesome shop. Clean, spacious. Great staff. Caring, friendly and knowledgeable.
All around great store and experience. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Ive brought my bike in a couple times for tune ups and the turn around is extremely quick. I dont go to any other bike shop now. Top notch.
Local shop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
The guys at Colonial do a terrific job. Excellent knowledge and a solid mechanical crew. Big with Trek and Bontrager gear! 👏🏻👍🏻
Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful- a fun place to do business!
Excellent service experience at Colonial Bicycles. Repairs and tuneup were as described and the service technician (Billy) was a pleasure to deal with.
Very happy with my Trek Transport.
Low quality customer service...very cold personalities when you go into the store. Not friendly towards beginners. It would be nice if this store was a bit more welcoming and warm to its customers.
Good selection of gear, helpful and knowledgeable staff.
If you are in the market for a new bike make sure to visit Colonial. There is something for everyone and the people are very helpful.
The Staff is very friendly and try to find what is perfect for you not what the most expensive thing or the next hot item is. The sales team isnt pushy and the mechanics are top notch.
This is the place to do your cycling service and purchases. They’re the best in my book.
Great friendly service and mechanics, nice merch selection. These guys will take good care of you! They also support local orgs & events. Check em out!
A great locally owned shop that is always well stocked with both bikes and parts. Their service team is top notch as well, I have never had a bad experience with these guys.
Service is excellent! Great location and team working at the shop.
Has a great variety of bikes and also quite a lot of bike accessories as well.
Always helpful. Some tools high in price
Fast and efficient service.
Great bike shop-friendly and knowledgeable!
Great customer service.
They give you a great deal.
Amazing store! Not only a great sales and service staff, but awesome community involvement, including spin classes and training.
Great service!
Friendly high-quality service.
I needed a spoke replaced and a wheel trueing at 1pm on Sunday. I thought that would be impossible!Nope!The team at Colonial had it done before they closed @4. EVERYONE there from the sales guy to the mechanic were friendly and went out of their way to help.
A great local bike shop with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great people, Great service, Clean Bathroom.

Hardcore, yet sensitive. Pro.
