What’s there to tell?  Do we spin you an achingly sincere yarn about our love of bikes (because we certainly could), or divulge that we’re a husband-wife duo that met in a bike shop (that’s true, too), or do we keep it succinct and professional (and probably dry as toast)?

The Urbane Cyclist is one husband and wife’s concept for a cycling destination.  As a full-service bicycle shop in Salem, MA, we are here to share our love of bikes with the entire North Shore of Boston and beyond.

We specialize in Cyclocross, 29er Mountain Bikes, and chic-yet-functional City Bikes. But if your heart leads you to another cycling disciplines, our 15-plus years in the industry and countless race seasons have you covered for Road and Triathlon, too. Our online store is an extension of our charming retail boutique located in historic Salem, MA. Visit the shop to take advantage of the best bike repair around Boston, rent a Dutch style bicycle, or join us for a bike tour of Salem.

Online and in-store, we offer a hand-picked selection of bicycles, components, and accessories that we have come to appreciate for their quality, durability, and design.  We don’t sell a bajillion variations of one product because we offer the best of what works and what endures. If there is something you don’t see listed online, do not hesitate to let us know and we’ll gladly source it for you. 

The essence of The Urbane Cyclist is fantastic merchandise, exceptional product knowledge, and personalized service.  Your local bike shop has a new zip code.
