Reply to comment by Flashbulb_RI in Best place to buy a bike in PVD by renamon617

I am near Branch Ave, I should check them out. Do they sell new or used bikes? How are their prices?

I live near Branch too. I've only used Providence Bicycle for maintenance and they've always been great. When Wanskuck Mill on Branch was being renovated (for years), I took my Trek to their EP shop. That store had a used inventory.

Ironically, the Branch Ave shop is located on the most dangerous road for bicyclists, IMHO. Every 4th car honks at you for no reason, the pavement is treacherous. I've had trash thrown at me, been screamed at, been forced into the curb. Our neighborhood SUCKS for bike riding.

Might be good to give an actual budget you have. This way people don’t guess and you’ll get more detailed responses. “Good Price” on things that can range from $50-15000+ can mean different things to different people.

You def want to check out the used/refurbished market then. Previous recommendations posted should be a good starting point.

Providence bike may have something within that range, they do new & used.
