Very few people can argue the empowering feeling you get riding a bike through congested Cleveland traffic. Or that hair raising sensation of carving through a lush green forest on tacky Ohio dirt. You know that feeling, like a chill on a warm day. That's what riding a bike is to us. When we started planning our crazy journey the number one goal was to communicate that unparalleled feeling of freedom. Beat Cycles is what happens when a bunch of mountain bikers pool their creativity and build a bike shop. And in May 2014, with splinters in our hands and sawdust in our lungs we opened the doors to this wild adventure and haven't looked back. Built in Lakewood and located on Detroit Avenue, one of the cities busiest cycling thoroughfares, Beat Cycles is a full-service bicycle shop with a boutique-for-all concept. With a unique line of bicycles and accessories, Beat offers an atmosphere as eclectic as the city it calls home. Whether your interested in ditching the car, shredding the local singletrack or tearing up the torn up roads we're here to assist, educate and empower you every step of the way.

Got my older bike tuned up here about two weeks and they did a great job. I've put on a good amount of mileage since and have no complaints. The price for the tune up was super fair too. I'll definitely be coming back.

DISASTER! EMERGENCY! just before setting off on a cross country bike trip, DH's back tire decided to act up. In great distress, we looked up options on Yelp and found an open shop just a few miles away. Quickly loading up the bike, we drove over. They were able to fit him in right away and get the tire fixed up for a very reasonable price, sending him off on time for a Grand Adventure.
Helpful, friendly, well - stocked, inexpensive.. What more can you ask of a neighborhood bike shop? Give them a try!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Daralyn B.Lakewood, OH257154153Sep 10, 2018
My husband and I recently bought bikes from Beat Cycles and I was blown away by their customer service. When we first wandered in to the shop, we had no idea what we wanted. The owner, Ryan, talked to us about how we intended to use the bikes, where we planned to ride, etc to recommend the perfect bike for us.
One of my favorite things about the shop is that they offer a free maintenance in the first year of owning your bike and free minor repairs throughout the year. They've already replaced a screw that fell off my bike while riding.
I'd definitely recommend Beat Cycles to anyone looking to purchase a new bike!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Meredith P.Twinsburg, OH45164May 1, 2020
The Beat Cycles team is absolutely incredible! I was recommended to visit their shop by a friend who's heavily into cycling. I'm so glad that I did because they helped me navigate getting a great starter mountain bike (Cannondale) and gravel/adventure bike (Salsa Journeyman).
Ryan took his time on the phone with me to put me at ease about coming to their shop and walked through some options with me based on my height, price and what functionality I was looking for in a bike. Every person I connected with during my time at the shop, super knowledgeable and kind. They were also incredibly willing to help.
If you're in the market for either a new bike or just need a tune up and some advice, check out Beat Cycles. You won't be disappointed.
Bonus, they're local!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Kaitlin M.Rocky River, OH294436Aug 13, 2021

This review is over due, but necessary so please read it. As a foreword, I am probably the worst customer there is. I am the kind of person that takes a lot of time, attention, I ask a million questions, and go back and forth about how I might spend my money, and the guys at Beat cycles really went above and beyond to help me find a bike that, having ridden it a bit, has changed my love of riding bikes in the best way possible.
I had been looking to buy myself a new mountain bike after taking a relative hiatus from the activity. The team at Beat listened to me, answered my questions, updated me on all the new information. And I asked them a lot of questions...and probably wasted way more time than anyone should. But they never wavered in their sincerity in helping me, and never made me feel they weren't taking me serious about buying a bike or feel like i should already know everything about bikes. They were really laid back, not arrogant, and really went the extra mile to make sure I knew what I was looking for, and in the end of all of the saga, they helped me find a bike that was perfect for me and I haven't had this much fun in a really long time.
They had a lot of great products and brands to choose from and in the store there is a lot of great gear, accessories and local information to check out as I continued to lament on what bike to buy--the bike that ended up being perfect for what I wanted, actually cost me significantly less than the originally budget I told them I wanted to be within.
They also knew a lot about mountain biking/general riding in the area, where to go to get comfortable on the trails, and have been super inviting to come ride with the guys that regular the store without making me feel bad for being "slow"..they know it's all about riding your bike and having fun. Thanks a lot guys. I freaking love my new element.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sarah H.Columbus, OH15181261Apr 29, 2017
Such a friendly little bike shop in Lakewood. I brought my bike for its yearly tune up today, they gave me some great tips on maintenance I can do on it, and even showed me how to put it on my bike rack properly. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is new to bike riding and needs some expertise.

I've been by here many times, but never stopped until last week. I was enjoying a summer ride on my Kona Fire. I made it to Lakewood Park when my chain snapped in half. The pin was gone. It was time for a replacement anyway. Well I didnt want to wait for one to come in the mail so I took my bike here. The staff was super friendly and super helpful. Gave me the exact chain I needed and a good one at that. I wanted to install it myself so I took everything home and made the attempt. Well I was lacking a tool to connect the chain together. So I figured I'd bite the bullet and bring it back. The guy working the repair station got it on in seconds and to top it off, he didnt charge me because I had already done over half the work. Definitely will be returning in the future
