Charleston Bicycle
Sports Shop in Charleston, SC
Does your bike fit you and your cycling style? Or is it set up for someone whose legs are an inch shorter than yours or someone with a longer or shorter torso? If your bike does not fit, it could be sapping major energy and performance. A well-suited bike can create all the difference! Our team at Charleston Bicycle Company has been well trained to fit your bike to your body and riding style. A free bike fitting is included with the purchase of any new bike from our store.

Shop Talk
read moreGenerally, bottle cages don't get any respect, but they are a practical and useful accessory for your bike since you will want to carry a water bottle while you ride. There are plenty of options out there. An aluminum water bottle cage is about $6.95 and comes in lots of colors at that price. But not long after you start using it, you will wear through the color. And, it starts to bleed aluminum oxide and regular old aluminum dust all over your bottle and bike. It's not the end of the world; the stuff wipes right off unless your bike is flat white, but it's always messy and ugly.
History
read moreWe got our start during the bike boom of the 1970s selling road and lifestyle bikes. Trail bikes were added to the mix during the mountain bike craze of the 1980s, and we have weathered a variety of economic and industry changes since then. The most important changes are those that have happened on a community level. We were open before the West Ashley Greenway project began in the 80s, and now the path is practically in our backyard (a short ride up Caterbury Rd.). We've watched local bike culture grow thanks to the formation of Charleston Moves in the 90s, and our store continues to support their work today.
