| - Best bike shop in Pittsburgh. I bike pass three other shops just to go to Thick Bikes.
The owner and staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and down to earth. They have a wide variety of bicycles, parts, accessories, and apparel. They're also not against pointing out a cheaper product to you if they feel it is better quality or better suits your need. Some stores are always trying to sell you a top-quality/top-cost item even if it's way out of your league.
I've never been to a friendlier shop. Even if you've never been here before, you'll feel welcomed from the minute you walk in. It doesn't matter if you're a weekday commuter, track racer, casual roadie, mountain biker, weekend warrior, or just looking to get your kid's bike tuned up, you get the same treatment and same quality of service as everybody else. These guys are definitely not bike-snobs. I've never had a terrible experience here.
I've purchased a bicycle from Thick, had work and maintenance done, purchased parts and accessories, and have just gone in to bullshit about bicycles. It's a great place.
I recommend Thick Bikes to anybody looking for a great, truly local bike shop. Even if you have to bike ten miles just to visit, it'll be well worth it.
