HokieSpokes - Treating Every Bike Like Our Own!

HokieSpokes began operations in March 1989 in an old movie theatre where Ceritano's is presently situated. Since then we have been at several other locations in downtown Blacksburg. We are currently located at 216 S. Main St. Previously we were on College Avenue, Now for the month of April, 2012 we have moved to Kent Square 216 S Main St. (across from Back Streets Restaurant). Dave Abraham, the sole proprietor, had several years experience in both the wholesale and retail levels of the bicycle business prior to the 1989 start-up. The longevity of the shop and the friendly atmosphere bespeaks a customer-centered focus and good service.

SHOP POLICIES

All estimates are totally free….after you leave your bike with us for repair, we’ll call you if the bill will run 10% more than our quote. Our prices are about HALF what most other shops charge. Why do we do this? We’re strongly committed to the idea that bikes can be a VIABLE choice for transportation, as well as for fitness and recreation! How can we do this? It’s getting harder, but, we like to believe in the golden rule... not “he who has the gold, rules!"

HokieSpokes is fairly unique in the realm of cycle shops because we will rent (for $5/hr., $20/day, etc.) most any bike in our shop (yes, even the "brand spankin’" new ones) and ALL rental payments apply in full towards any future purchase.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

We will adjust bearings, true wheels, and adjust brakes and gears on bikes we have sold for free, forever, unless problems are the result of abuse or neglect. We will explain this policy to customers as often as possible, and will endeavor to teach customers how to check and maintain their merchandise. Repair and service to other bicycles will be billed, unless it is a follow-up to a repair.

EXCHANGES & RETURNS

We are always happy to exchange items. Our store policy for returned merchandise is SUBJECT TO A 10% RESTOCKING FEE. Should a product not fulfill its promised function, or if it is defective, the sale will be voided and MONIES REFUNDED IN FULL. The form of refund will be the SAME as that of the original sale. Refunds for check payments may be delayed at the owner's discretion. WE WILL PROVIDE NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES AFTER 30 DAYS.

About Hokie Spokes Staff:

The staff has over 3 decades of cycling experience. We’re different. We strive to help fix your bike as reasonably as possible. We’ll only ask for payment for needed repairs, never charging a flat high-as-possible fee, like many other shops!
Also, we happily will answer your tech questions so that you might learn as much as possible about your ride(s), allowing you to do some of the work yourself (if you want)!
