Conte's Bike Shop, Arlington

I’ve dropped by the Wilson Boulevard Conte’s Bike Shop three times this week, and all the staff I interacted with — Ryan, Oscar, and T. — were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They seem to have a genuine rapport with every customer who walks in, from serious cyclists to young commuters to parents with kids in tow. With so many bike-friendly trails and day trip options in the DMV area, the pull of cycling has been hard to resist, and I feel fortunate to have found such a helpful and reliable neighborhood bike shop. Once I’ve got some miles on my new bike, I look forward to joining one of the regular cycling trips organized by Conte’s staff through their mobile app — another example of how they view us as a community instead of just customers. Cheers, guys.

If you’re in the market for a new bike look no further; this is the place you need to go to. The store itself is well laid out and organized neatly. The staff is knowledgeable and engaging. I had the pleasure of working primarily with the store manager, Mathew “T” Dominguez. From the moment I walked in and inquired about a particular mountain bike he took the time to set me up and teach me about some of the various components to ensure it was the right fit for me. To say the least, I felt like he had my best interest in mind. Top marks!!! Thanks again, team!
