FAQ
Can I rent a bike at your shop?
Yes! We have a variety of hybrid/city bikes that you can rent that come equipped with a rear rack, trunk bag, combination, and u-lock. We also include lights for any night rides around the NYC area.
Do you sell used bikes?
We do sell used bikes and they are located in the back of our shop. Before we sell them back to our cutomers we recondition the entire bicycle to ensure that they are as close to new and have the highest possible quality. Please do not to hesitate to call Cycle Fitnes with any questions you have about buying and/or trade ins.
Do you buy used bikes?
We do not buy used bikes, but we do accept trade ins depending on the quality and state of the bike you are offering, as it has to pass our Second Hand Bike Trade-In Criteria check.
