A happy and loyal customer. My wife and I have bought a total of 3 bikes at ATA's Cambridge store and we keep going back because the staff there gives us good, prompt service and really cares about getting it right.

A Small Bike Shop With Clout.. UNIQUE like a BOUTIQUE...and I live in Charlestown, and I commute a great deal and race a bit. I found that ATA Cycles is a bike shop that has it all, and if they don't have it in stock they can order it for you ASAP. I have frequented some of the other local shops and I have found them to either be too busy, or rude and obnoxious. The small shop experience with friendly sales-staff makes one feel like they're shopping with clout, rather than flailing about in the usual cycling vat of parts and ponderings. At ATA Cycles this is par for the course, and they also boast some amazing inventory. I recently bought a Look racing bike there and it really is a delight to ride... just make sure you get sized by their personal fit-system before dropping the duckets on two wheels.

VERY BAD SERVICE. WORST! WORST! WORST! I tried several bike shops in Cambridge. I do not hesitate to say ATA CYCLE is simply the WORST. People there do not have knowledge, suggested a wrong item even when I brought my bike with me, and refused to refund. They gave me a store credit, which is useless because they do not have items that fit my bike. The people in ATA CYCLE are very UNFRIENDLY. I wish I could give no star. AVOID ATA CYCLE unless you want to waste your money.

bikes for everyone. I first went to ata looking for a commuter bike - cycling isn't my primary sport. I had shopped around some area cycle shops but staff were condescending to me or pretty much pushed any product figuring I hadn't a clue. When I got to ata, the sales guy, who I later found out was the owner, actually steered my towards a less expensive option than I was looking at that was more appropriate to my frame, etc., and the kind of riding I was planning on. I still hadn't a clue, but he was patient and informative, especially since I didn't exactly look like a repeat customer at the time. Long story short, I later decided to diversify my sporting life and decided to get a road bike. I went back to ata and had an extensive fitting session and ended up with a bike that I love. The folks at ata are pretty passionate about bikes and will share info to whatever level you want. They clearly love to ride and want everyone else to have their best ride, too!

Best Bike Shop in Boston, and one of the Best in the Country!!!. I've been a customer of ATA for about 7 years and my experience with them has been nothing short exceptional. The staff at ATA is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, as well as informative. The product lines ATA carry is probably the highlight of the store, although their service department is also very very good. Their fitting service is one of kind and should win them awards (computers/lasers etc, it's crazy!) I own mountain (NRS 1), fixed gear (Omnium Track), and road bikes (Wilier), and this shop's got it all. Having lived and operated my own business in Boston for over 7 years, I appreciate the extra mile these guys always go to keep me happy. I recently moved to the west coast (LA), and have not found any shops that are even close to as good as ATA. Needless to say, I still shop with them from my new city, and recommend them anybody who is interested in exceptional cycling products and service. Keep up the great work guys!
