As a consumer, you have nearly endless options of where to purchase your equipment. The Internet gives you almost everything with the click of a mouse button. However, there are drawbacks to purely price-driven shopping. As consumers, we often trade customer service and in-depth product knowledge for a lower price. Who says that you can't have both?

Beyond the website, we are also a local shop. With nearly two decades experience between the owners alone, The Urbane Cyclist is founded upon an exceptional knowledge base in addition to great selection.

Online, we offer a tremendous breadth of products along with our signature service: Prompt, professional, and informed. In-store, we offer a hand-picked selection bicycles and accessories. We boast a full compliment of services, host shop rides, orchestrate events, and teach maintenance classes. Stay in the loop with our monthly newsletter, brush up on Cyclocross with our blog, and visit us on your next trip to the Boston area.

We keep our prices competetively low by fullfilling many orders from our local warehouse, nearby distributors, or directly from the manufacturer. Not every item gets plucked from the store's shelves. Most items leave our shipping department within 2-3 business days. Items with shipping time frames of 5-7 days often come from manufacturers based on the West Coast. If you have questions or concerns about your order's arrival time, you are welcome to call or email for detailed availability. 

Whether you are halfway around the globe or down the street, we can be your LBS.
