I've had good sales and service at the City Bikes in Bethesda. Need to get my bike back there for a tune up!

I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I've had some issues with City Bikes in Chevy Chase, but nothing they didn't fix (for free). Generally, I give them good reviews.
I think the staff at Revolution rotates around a bit between the stores.
It's probably safe to say that some wrenches at most of the shops in the area are sloppier than others. I haven't heard anyone say they're in love with the service dept of any of them.
I haven't been to CH Bikes, but I've met a couple people that do their team rides. They seem to carry some good quality stuff. Specialized sponsors their racing team. I'm thinking I'll join next year if I get a job in the District (since I could only do occasional open/alumni stuff with my school team).![]()
It's a bit of a hike from Northern Virginia, but I really like Proteus Bikes in College Park. They've got a great mechanic who fixed my bike after I'd taken it to another shop four times, and I like the atmosphere and staff. It's definitely not upscale.
