The staff, the owner's support to the biking community, and sponsorship of local racing. CHB's service department is great! Thanks
CHB has professional and friendly service, and great merchandise. A refreshing improvement over the bike-snob staff and low-grade product of so many local and chain shops.
The quality of the service the give you is outstanding. They are by far the best DC bike shop.
I entered my first triathlon in January 06 and went to Capitol Hill Bikes to buy my bike and accessories. Not being an avid biker I really didn't know what I needed. The entire staff at Capitol Hill Bikes has been great. I Whenever I hear someone talking about cycling, I ask them if they have checked out Capitol Hill Bikes and if not then they need to.
It's the approachable, knowledgeable and friendly staff at Capitol Hill Bikes that makes them the best shop in the area. That and the fact that they're willing to go the extra mile to make their customers happy.
Their friendly staff. No matter if you have been riding for years or getting a bike for the first time they treat you as Number 1 in the store. They also are a woman cyclist friendly place. I can go there without my husband and receive the same treatment and respect. Not all bike shops are like that. They take the time to get to know the customer and see what it is they need and not just trying to sell them a bike. Their mechanic staff is superb also. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
The service from bike maintenance to bike fit is far above any other shop I have ever been to. I the staff is very knowledgeable of all the products too.
The staff - they are serious cyclists of all stripes who sell products they believe in (and ride themselves). CHB also goes out of their way to give something back, to their neighbors in Capital Hill and to the greater cycling community. Especially good for road-oriented cyclists
CHB has a great focus on their clients to ensure they enjoy the cycling experience as a life-style experience; very people-focused, great product selection & awesome service department; knowledgeable staff & experienced management---definitely the best shop in DC!!
Travis and the gang are awesome. They have great prices, a good selection of bikes and equiptment, and unsurpassed knowledge of cycling. The shop is top notch, and they will go out of their way to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Capitol Hill Bikes has the kind of staff and products that suits any level of biking, from the complete novice to the experienced racer. It is the best shop that I've ever been to!
Their customer services is simply the best. The staff members are there to help you and not just to sell to you.
Personalized attention, friendly staff, fantastic selection, and the best bike fitting process around.
People that work there care about bikes and people. Very cool staff. Great community work. Sunday morning rides are cool.
Great selection of equipment, outstanding service department and a knowledgeable and friendly staff. They also do a lot to support cycling in the local community. Truly a great shop!
The staff at CHB are AWESOME! They are friendly, super knowledgable, and always accomodating. I make the trek all the way across town to shop there rather than go to a more local store.
Extremely Knowledgeable - Great Staff - Bike shop has great character and great forward minded style
Great service! You can walk in with your bike and they have staff who can fix it for you while you wait. They also have a great selection of bikes.
The staff and management at Capitol Hill bikes are the best! They give great customer service and I always get an honest, reliable answer for any question that I have. I have purchased two bikes and use them for all my repair needs. Keep up the good work!
Knowledgeable staff, great environment, huge selection, and not to mention some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
Service, good selection of bikes and equipment, knowledgeable staff, friendly atmosphere to shop.
Over the past several years I have observed that the staff take care of all types of cyclists, from novices to pros, with equal interest and attention to their needs. I am a bike commuter riding from Capitol Hill to Silver Spring and back daily and I need to have my bike running well...whenever I've had a breakdown or needed an adjustment, I have been able to have my bike serviced immediately. This attention and great service factored into me recently buying a new bike from them. It's great to have them as a neighbor.
Great service, good products -- and the best selection of women's bikes and bicycle equipment in the city.
Chris, the manager, is fantastic at making low cost, high quality recommendations!
Great staff who always go the extra mile and really know their stuff. Plus, they love what they do!
Great bikes, great service. These guys really know what they are doing and they are friendly to boot!
Great staff, convenient location and hours, good service and selection of merchandise. In addition, they are huge supporters of the bicycling community and charity rides.
I love Capitol Hill bikes for their knowledgable and friendly staff, their selection of bikes and accessories, and their excellent service department.
CHB makes a real effort to be a part of the community, and the store's super-friendly and knowledgeable staff is equally welcoming to serious roadies and cycling newbies. Plus they have a great selection of bikes and gear.
Unlike several other local bikeshops I have frequented, Capitol Hill Bikes would rather put you on a bike you will love than put you on any bike at all. They will not try to sell you what they have left to get rid of extra stock, they size you properly for a bike and they will not try to sell you things you don't need if you tell them for what you will be using the bike.
These knowledgeable bike-lovers always give me straight information about my bike and are always willing to suggest new bike trails. I feel like a member of the family every time I go to Capitol Hill Bikes! They're fantastic!
They have worked hard to develop a relationship with the local community. It is a great place to hang out. They do excellent work on all kinds of bikes, no matter how high-end or low-end they might be. They don't make you feel like an idiot when you come in with a $25 bike or you don't know how to change a flat.
