Blackwater Bikes

We showed up needing to wash some dirty bikes because Black Bear Resort doesn't have a hose that they allow guests to use. The owner was totally cool about letting us wash our bikes and one of the locals hanging around the shop gave us some good advice for our ride the next day up on Spruce Knob. Class act all around.

They were also social distancing and wearing masks which I appreciate.

Blackwater Bikes is stocked up! Bought some awesome Fox pants not available anywhere. New stairs and signage give a cool vibe and I’m looking forward to seeing what Eric and team do with this soon-to-be world class bike shop!

I needed a repair on my bicycle while visiting. I took it in and they were so helpful and fixed my bike. Service was excellent and the people and the place was great! When I need a new bike - I know where I’m going to look first.

Great shop, super nice staff, a ton of parts in stock, from cassettes to Maxxis tires, clothing etc. All well priced.Great trail info too.

Excellent shop and very accommodating. We had a brake handle snap and stopped in for an emergency repair. It turned out they were closed but some folks were there and let us in and replaced the handle, that’s above and beyond service, thank you Blackwater Bikes!

I had a great experience at Blackwater Bikes. All the folks here were great, but I engaged most with Sue. Sue was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful and patient. She took the time to explain the basics of the bike to me (this was my first time mountain biking), watch me practice and provide feedback, and make recommendations as to the best trails for my experience level (which was ZERO ). Thanks largely to Sue, I had a great first mountain biking experience.

Great service! This is the only place I get my bike fixed. When you need things fixed, they will talk you through all the options so you know what you are getting. Prices are very reasonable and your money is always well spent. Also, their shop overlooks the Blackwater River so of course that is a plus too.

These folks could not have been more friendly or helpful. We really enjoyed our time in the shop and chatting with them. I can recommend them as a top-notch bike shop. Just excellent.
