Also, had a filling Fresh Bowl and some much needed coffee. All surprsingly high quality (I was surprised because I thought that the focus of the shop would be bike maintenance... Not food and coffee). I would rate their food experience 5 stars as well.
very cool bike shop that doubles as a craft beer and coffee spot. Great to see people investing in adding some good spots in downtown. The owners are very nice as well!
I recently purchased the beautiful Linus Roadster 3 speed. I am new to the road scene and 3 gears (internal hub) has proven perfect for Roanoke. We live up a hill and this little bike has been able to handle it as well as parts of NW, OSW, and SW. The care and help I received from the staff in finding the perfect dream bicycle is unmatched. The bike was affordable and I was able to customize it with an amazing front rack. I highly recommend downshift for not only brews and coffee but for their wonderful bicycle selection and accessories as well.
The mid-drive electric bike add on is a great idea for biking commuters.
3-fer!
The place needs a dog, maybe a fat black lab whose tail whip wags you as you pat him.
Also, I have a fairly high B.S. detector for bike maintenance... I had stopped at another bike shop earlier, and left since they were trying to over-sell me on a bunch of maintenance I didn't need.
Unpretentious staff, great bikes (Linus) at very reasonable bike prices ($500 average).
The coffee and food bowls were really great. Steve is an outstanding bike mechanic. He did a complete refurbish on my 1972 Gitane...it looks and rides like new, but I did have him convert it to a bike that was good for an older guy (me) with a bad back! Outstanding! I really like the cargo bikes that they have as well. Very tempting!!
The staff here was VERY knowledgeable (and very quick). I got what my bike needed in 15 minutes. Would strongly recommend their maintenance.
Stopped by Downshift on a cross country bike trip. I was dehydrated, hungry and in need of bike maintenance. Needless to say, all three needs were satisfied.
