GO-Buffalo's 30 Days of Bicycle Benefits: Rick's Cycle Shop

By Green Options Buffalo:

In our series, 30 Days of Bicycle Benefits, you will be introduced to 30 new businesses that will offer you great discounts for riding your bike and wearing your helmet. Thirty businesses that want to say, "Thank you," for choosing not to drive your car.

Rick's Cycle Shop - 10% off accessories, 15% off legally required accessories


Rick's Cycle Shop has been in existence for over 100 years and is the perfect Allentown bicycle shop. Rick's moved to the corner space on Allen and Franklin St. just a few years back and the new space suits them well. Although the new shop lacks some of the mystique of the cave-like Main St. store, they gained a ton of natural light, a welcoming showroom and a big workshop.

Rick's seems to have a particular knack at catering to commuting cyclists. For people who rely on their bicycle for much of their transport, they offer a huge selection of tires, tubes, lubes, accessories and tools that are important for a workhorse bike. When buying accessories, the staff at Rick's will help you understand all your options and share their personal experiences with the equipment so you can make a purchase confidently. If you've ever had the experience of trying to buy something at a big-box store:  standing around, trying to find someone who knows anything about what you're trying to buy, you understand just how valuable good customer service really is.

Rick's Cycle Shop is also unique because of its large selection of used bikes, made possible by an expert team of mechanics. Maybe you really want to ride a bike, but aren't ready to spend "new bike" money, or you want something vintage - Rick's should definitely be on your list. Ride in with your Bicycle Benefits membership sticker on your helmet and get 10% off of all accessories and 15% off of anything legally required.
