I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible service and experience I’ve had at ATA Cyclery over the past two decades. For nearly 20 years, your shop has been more than just a place to buy and maintain my bike — it’s been a cornerstone of my passion for cycling and a key part of what keeps me feeling young and active at 72.
Every time I walk into your shop, I’m reminded of the high-quality products, expert advice, and warm service that make ATA so special.
Husam, thank you for being a trusted partner on this lifelong journey of staying fit, adventurous, and full of life. I look forward to many more years of riding and working with your fantastic team.

As someone who works in the medical field/health and wellness I can’t say enough about Husam and his team at ATA! The process was incredible from the initial fit where he told me my current bike was not the right fit to the new bike which fits like a glove. Gone are the days of numb hands and feet, I never knew cycling could be so comfortable. I will continue to recommend ATA to my friends and clients. Just start with a fit and see what Husam and his team can do for you!

I have had two bike fits done and have bought two bikes, most recently a road bike. ATA sells only the highest quality bike components. Husam was extremely personable and managed to create my dream bike with what for them, is a lower budget. I felt extremely taken care of throughout the entire process of purchasing my bike.
Sam Merson August 1, 2024
I had a great experience at ATA, I came in with a bike I knew didn’t fit me well and they helped me get a new frame that suited me better and worked hard to find a way to do so with bin my budget as a young cyclist. Could not recommend the team at ATA more highly for any bike fit needs.

I went to see Husam a few months ago to get fit for my bike. He did a great job and is very knowledge about human anatomy and cycling. After adjusting my...

ATA is my go to bike shop. They are dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate. But even though it’s a high end bike shop, they don’t have any of the elitist cycling feel. They’ve loaned me parts to get me back on the road and always are quick to fix anything I need
Louis Saledas July 15, 2024
I bought my Storck from Husam 2-years ago and that experience was exceptional. I am writing this review to let you know the services I have received from Husam and the rest of the team at ATA these last 2-years has continued to be exceptional. This includes the annual tune ups as well as the surprise fixes.
ATA is your go to cycle shop for your cycling needs.
Gregg Izzo June 25, 2024
Awesome shop in a convenient location. Everyone cares about cycling and they want to keep their customers riding. They continue to support my legacy gear at reasonable prices. The comfort and confidence I have in my position and equipment is invaluable. The fitting is professional and service top notch. Thanks again!
Scott Campbell June 9, 2024
Incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Dropped off a pair of kids bikes for a tune up and they completed the work within a day at very reasonable rates. We had called other area shops and they had no interest in looking at kids bikes, which when concerned about kids safety was frustrating. Couldn't recommend this shop more for beginners/families thru expert riders.
Joseph Jarosz May 7, 2024
Super knowledgeable and thorough staff. The only shop in the area that can truly build you the right bike. They have the technology, but more importantly, the experience and dedication to deliver the best bike for you!
Vijay Raman May 4, 2024
ATA team did it again! Shreyas and Husam thank you so much for your help in helping me select a new bike! You guys are the best! This was one of the best experiences I have had. Upgraded my bike to a storck bike and Shreyas/Husam made it such an easy process right from bike selection to fit! Thank you so much - the bike is super great!
Wilmer van der Gaast April 11, 2024
Love the shop, great owner, great story behind it. Did a bike fit there last summer, he made some changes, gave me some personal training advice as well. Appreciate how he still remembered me when I came in again half a year later, and I'll definitely keep dropping in, all the way from Somerville. (It's a nice bike ride!)
Lucas Ludwig Coura March 15, 2024
These folks saved me today. I’d broken the valve off my inner tube and needed a new one, but they were 5 minutes from closing. I called ahead to let them know and the guy who helped me stayed open a little late to help me out.
After selling me the tube, he saw me struggling a bit outside to get it replaced myself and even helped me get the tire off the rim to replace the tube. My bike is currently my only way to get around, so it meant a lot to have the help!
Regrettably, I didn’t catch the guy’s name, but he had a pretty sick beard. So thank, sick beard man!
Mark H. March 4, 2024
I think I have been enlightened by Husam. He takes "bike fittings" to another level. I went into ATA Cycle with two bikes that were OK at getting me from...
Brian Milstein January 14, 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed my bike fitting. Learning about my riding position and the adjustments we made to better fit me to the bike has made my riding more enjoyable. As a relative novice, I never felt judged about my knowledge like I have at other bike shops. The owner is very friendly and was happy to answer my questions.
Ksenia Desautels November 28, 2023
ATA Cycle is a great cycle shop for anyone who enjoys riding - either longer distances for joy, races, triathlons or occasional family weekend ride. The fitting is a must have service - it aligns your body/movements to the bike to ensures best performance and elimination of potential injury. Great selection of top notch bikes; gear and absolutely amazing staff. Highly recommend.
Michael Donohue November 9, 2023
Husam and the team at ATA are amazing! I'm an Ironman-distance triathlete and came in to upgrade to a custom bike. They were able to turn my order around in only a week (I had a race coming up) and the new ride was just awesome. I took it out for a pair of training rides and cut over 30 minutes off my century-ride PR. On race day, I took an hour off my previous ride time and kept my heart rate low enough that I was able to cut another 30 minutes off my run time.
The bike is wicked fast, and it is so comfortable to ride that the run just becomes easy afterwards. I wish I came in years earlier!
Jonathan Cash September 8, 2023
I purchased my first Storck road bike from ATA over 6 years ago and decided it was time for an upgrade given the advances in technology and the growing number of miles on my bike. Once again ATA was amazing, from the professional fitting all the way through delivery of my new Aerfast Storck, they guided me through the entire process that ended with a bike that exceeded my wildest expectations! I cannot thank the staff at ATA enough for their attention to detail and commitment to customer service. Highly recommend them!
Colin Wetherald August 29, 2023
After turning my 16-year-old aluminum bike into a smart spin-kit, I wanted to try a carbon fiber bike. I was interested in ATA Cycle because of their focus on proper fitting. I’m 60 now with an assortment of nagging issues and thought a fitting and choosing a bike from that data would be helpful. In the past, I just bought what I liked the looks of and could afford and that was that. Other shops I went to didn’t even mention fitting until I asked about it.
Everything at ATA is high quality and my budget is on the lower end for a full carbon frame bike, but Husam managed to find me a really nice bike! And that wasn’t easy because I’m tall, a bit overweight and have an oddly proportioned body.
My form when riding is different now. I’m still getting used to it, but it is nice that my left hand isn’t getting completely numb anymore.
And the bike is awesome! Fast, nimble and looks great too! :-)
Rob Whitten August 24, 2023
There I was, a first season rider with a tire blowout and nothing to fix it with. ATA was only a mile away and they fixed me up right away with all new tires, tubes and a proper repair kit just in case. I didn’t have my wallet with me, so they even let me call in the cc later. Very cool!
Peter Webber July 29, 2023
Exceptional/world class bike shop. The team is both friendly and knowledgeable. I've purchased a lot of bikes in my life, and this was by far the most enjoyable experience - not to mention, the fitting has completely changed my cycling experience.
Can't recommend ATA enough!
Dan Nolan July 25, 2023
I took a six year hiatus from the sport of triathlon. Coming back to the sport this year I was looking forward to beating my old Ironman time set by a significantly younger me. When I went looking for a professional bike fit, my search led me to ATA Cycle, and I'm sure glad it did. Not only did I set a new personal best (taking a whole hour off my IM time!) but I also found a brand new appreciation for cycling in general. Getting a bike with the proper fit is a whole new ballgame, it really makes cycling fun. I am grateful to ATA for their awesome work and for working to build me the best bike possible within my budget and timeline!
Steven Senne July 19, 2023
Notes from my bike fit at ATA Cycles:
In the cycling world, where market forces can sometimes have undue influence over information about what makes a human being fast on a bike, it’s refreshing that Husam at ATA offers an experience free of those forces.
My fit began with an analysis of my position on my previous road bike (Guerciotti). Multiple sensors were attached to limbs, torso, head, and feet, providing readouts while pedaling. A constant flow of data was used to evaluate pedal stroke, efficiency, and comfort.
Next came measurements, lots: humerus, radius, femur, tibia, height, reach, flexibility, to name a few.
Followed by pedaling on a modular test platform (vaguely resembling a wind trainer) resting on multiple scales measuring weight distribution in all directions, all the while Husam poured over data, including results from a power meter.
Then, for me, an eye-opener: it would be the ratios among the measurements that would play such a large part of the new fit. Discovering that I have an unusually long femur resulted in big changes everywhere. No simplistic interpretation of inseam or reach during this process. Rather, an in-depth analysis of biomechanics in motion.
One result from the new fit is finding out that real efficiency has a more substantial and concrete feel than I was used to. (ten years road racing experience) The old average-fit symptoms, such as sliding forward, or saddle discomfort, are now in the past. This review is not a first impression either; I’ve put in a thousand miles on the new bike (Time Alpe d’Huez) since.
No way I’d go back to my old position, even though it fell well within contemporary guidelines for road racing.
I recommend getting a fit at ATA Cycles. Husam is superb.
Safe riding,
Steven

ATA Cycle has helped me in two distinctive ways:
1) Two years ago I was suffering the painful and debilitating effects of a herniated disc and came in for a bike fitting in hopes of experiencing some relief on the bike (riding a bike built elsewhere). I received a very professional fitting, which included motion capture video to track the dynamics of my riding. ATA helped to modify my bike with a new stem, new seat, and new position. I am convinced these changes were a big part of my eventual recovery.
2) Fast forward 2 years and I was ready to purchase my dream bike. I was willing to invest a lot in the bike, but I did have a budget. Husam helped me explore my options, cutting through the marketing hype of a lot of well know bike brands. I came to appreciate that a lot of the bike frames that I thought I wanted were were not appropriate for me. Husam partnered with me and helped me optimize my selections to support my riding style, my ability, and fit within my budget. I'm incredibly satisfied with the Stork Aerfast bike that we created together. And what a dream it was to have ATA create the bike to my unique 3D characteristics based on the bike fitting on file. I showed up to meet my new bike and it fit like a glove!
Dylan Callahan June 30, 2023
I was right at the start of a 400 mile bike trip when my rear hydraulic brake stopped working. No other shop could or would take the time to bleed my brakes. I thought I was dead in the water.
But then the gentlemen at ATA Cycle graciously fixed my bike and got me back on the road. I was able to catch up to my group because of them. Very thankful for them.
J. David Rumpf June 28, 2023
I went to ATA Cycle because I was feeling pain in some part of my body after long rides. Decided to do a bike fit and It has been a game changer as I was able to understand that my old bike was smaller and purchase a road bike that fits me perfectly.
Husam and staff were extremely nice, professional and helpful during the entire process. Husam gave me great recommendations according to my needs and detail explanations to every question.
Thank you!
Felix Scheuplein June 16, 2023
I had a great experience here and now have my first roadbike that actually fits correctly and it really changed my biking experience in a very positive way. Husam was very kind and friendly and clearly is passionate about getting people into biking and maximizing their enjoyment of it. To be able to achieve that I went through a thorough bike fitting session, which in the end was a good investment for me - now having a bike that is perfect for my body.
They worked with my budget and gave me a beautiful high quality bike, which I really love.
Thank you, Husam and ATA Cycle!
Tony Yu June 15, 2023
I started cycling during the COVID-19 pandemic, like many others. I bought an entry-level hybrid bike from a local bike shop. After about 800 miles, I started experiencing knee, shoulder, and back pain. A physical therapist suggested that I might need to give up cycling. I refused to quit, so I did some research and realized that my bike was not the right size for me. I bought another bike that was "my size," but I still had pain. That's when I decided to get a proper bike fit.
I went to ATA Cycle, where I met Hussam, a world-class professional who has dedicated his life to the world of cycling. He uses science to deal with issues. His team is very professional and efficient. After a thorough bike fitting, I was able to ride longer, faster, and pain-free. I'm so glad I found Hussam and his team. They helped me to get back to enjoying cycling, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is experiencing pain while riding.
Petahwil June 3, 2023
If you are thinking about getting fitted do it now and go to ATA! Husam knows and has the set up to get your bike (if it isn't to off) or your new bike fully set up to you. This is one of the nicest bike shops I have ever been in. All the bikes, shoes and kits at ATA will make you drool
Michael Feldman May 13, 2023
Husan and his team were absolutely fantastic to work with. They helped fit me up and build an absolute stunner of a gravel racer. The fit makes it the most comfortable ride I've ever had. What really sets ATA apart is the entire teams focus on perfection from fit, to component selection to build/shop quality. They made sure every detail was right. I ride this bike in the wet and mud...all the hardware is titanium so no rust troubles. Need to be able to be able to grind up steep VT gravel and still put power in on the descents...perfectly selected gear ratio/crank length/body position set up. Discovered a muscle group specific right/left power imbalance during my fitting...left with specific exercises to correct this. This is the second bike it bought from ATA with the first being a tricky fit for my partner who is at the very small end of the size range. Absolutely stellar job both times. I'll be back for more.
Roman Mrozek September 26, 2022
Husam, Norm and the rest of the ATA team provide excellent service. My wife had a bike fit and it greatly improved her enjoyment of cycling. I had a complicated repair and the bike was returned to me in better than new condition. Highly recommended!
Tommy Schram August 27, 2022
As someone younger / newer to road biking, Husam was a breath of approachable, knowledgeable, un-intimidating fresh air. He spent the time to create a personalized experience that was unmatched.
His incredibly thorough fitting process and subsequent build got me into a bike that eliminated my knee pain and helped me feel efficient and powerful on my rides. Two months later, he’s helped with all my random questions and maintained a top-notch level of service and attention to detail. So long as I’m in Boston, I’ll be riding up to Concord for all things cycling-related
Hallock Stuart August 24, 2022
I went to get a fitting done at ATA cycles because I was impressed by how methodical and scientific their process is. And I was not disappointed. Their store is super high-tech and Husam is very knowledgeable.
M B August 19, 2022
After doing extensive research (have been looking to buy a new bike for quite some time) and talking to my avid biker friends, I connected with Husam and his assistants to visit them from Chicago. I arranged my trip to go to Boston to get a complete bike fitting with Husam and check bikes and components he has in his store.
Husam picked me up from the airport and spent over 2 hours to finish the most comprehensive fitting I have ever had. He provided thorough and logical explanations evaluating my body measurements and other structural details. His frame suggestions were reflecting the measurements and his assessments within my budget and made sense to me.
ATA Cycle has an incredible inventory of high-end frames and components that are hard to find easily available these days. Discussing all the details about the recommended frames, all the components, I made my choice and picked the Look 785 Huez RS frame with SRAM Red AXS group set, Lightweight stem & handlebar and Zipp wheelset.
I watched the technician building the bike and he was very helpful answering my questions in detail. His assistants provided recommendations regarding other general biking and health related matters which were very useful and one of them came along while I was testing the bike on the road making sure everything was all right. The whole team was so friendly and attentive.
They sent the bike next day to Chicago and helped me over the phone to easily put it together so I can start enjoying it.
I highly recommend ATA Cycle with Husam and his technical staff for their great inventory of high-end bicycle frames and components, their expert knowledge and customer-oriented service.

John Jacques August 11, 2022
I went to ATA looking to buy my first road bike as someone with literally no cycling experience at all. I have incredibly poor flexibility and I tend to get injured whenever I exercise, so I knew I needed a place that could fit me properly.
The owner Husam was super nice and first helped me pick out shoes. I'm a huge overpronater and ATA has a machine with lasers you step into that instantly recognized this and output data that made shoe selection and fitting a breeze. I was set up with a great pair of shoes that offered the support I need.
Next we started the bike fitting on this one of a kind bike Husam built that he was able to adjust to my specific measurements using a remote. He had me cycle for 10 minutes and reviewed the data with me that showed my left leg was more powerful than my right (and he gave me exercises to get the right leg back in line).
ATA specializes in custom built bikes that fit you perfectly. We choose the frame, wheels, gears, etc... and 5 days later I picked up my completed bike.
After a few rides, I can safely say the bike fits me great and I look forward to putting many thousands of miles on it in the future. I'll definitely be back in the future when it comes time to upgrade some components or load up on more gear!

Husam and everyone at ATA is amazing!! I went in to get fitted for my bike, That I haven’t been able to ride for a couple years. Because of my knee. After being fitted properly by Husam, I cannot believe the difference how easier, it is to ride no pain in my knee, it’s effortless now even going up hills.I will never go anywhere else to get fitted for a bike. And I look forward to having ATA building my next one. Thank You Husam, for getting me back to what I love doing the most!!!
John P June 6, 2022
I am a 65 year old sport cyclist, and have been riding for about 30 years. I ride about 100 miles a week. I recently purchased a new bike from a dealer who didn't offer fittings. After about 30 miles on the new bike, I was having a lot of "seat pain". I always thought that a bike fitting was something a professional rider or avid racer got. Neither describe me, but I had to do something, so I found ATA Cycle on line and scheduled a fitting. Husam, the shop owner guided me thru the fit, which was very technical. He spent about 2hrs with me. Not only did he tweak my new bike to alleviate my discomfort, he offered me riding and positioning tips that increased my power. He also noticed a deficiency in my pedal stroke and prescribed an exercise to strengthen my hip to correct it. Regardless of your abilities, my opinion is that you will benefit from a bike fitting at ATA Cycle!
Patrick Morris May 29, 2022
Husam's shop is very well stocked and had the parts I needed, along with quality installation. An amazing place.
Jonathan Brown May 22, 2022
I loved the experience that I got at ATA Cycle! Before even learning about ATA Cycles existence, I was originally looking to just upgrade my groupset on a Redline Conquest Competition with a 10 speed Shimano Tiagra groupset, a Bike I bought in 2016, to something a bit better. It is a fine bike, but it was more designed for Cyclocross and I do mostly road and paved bike path riding so after having a lot of difficulty finding any parts I said to myself, well lets just get a bike that will be really nice for me.
Husam was really great, I went through the fitting process and he talked with me about the benefits of the fitting process, how cycling can be really good for you, and just life in general. He was welcoming and kind.
When it came time to discuss price, I knew that they normally build really high quality high end bikes, but even with my budget Husam and his team were able to build me a beautiful bike that I love and fits great. I am ecstatic, excited, and overjoyed with the experience and product I received. He even taught me how to use the clipless pedals/cleats and shoes that I was nervous about using for the first time (it really wasn't so bad, you pick it up quick)! Husam really made sure I was getting the best quality products that I could afford and you could tell that he wanted me to leave having a wonderful experience and a product that will last me as long as I wish to use it.
Once again I can't thank Husam and his team enough! Below is a picture of the Cinelli Veltrix on my first ride after getting it back home.
Amy Fleig March 25, 2022
If you are riding a bike that you suspect or know for a fact is keeping you from fully enjoying cycling and you are ready to invest in the bike of your dreams, you should pay a visit to ATA Cycle. Then expect to be very pleased and impressed that you made such a smart decision. When I decided in December to buy a new bike, I began reading everything I could to make an informed purchase. In no way did I want a salesperson making my decisions for me. However, I soon realized that I couldn’t possibly learn everything I wanted to know by spring. I needed to find someone who I could trust. It was at this point that I found ATA Cycle. The wonderful reviews (for which I am so grateful) and the shop’s informative website persuaded me to schedule a fitting with Husam. It turned out to be the most excellent decision and the rest is history. Husam and his technicians built me a custom bike that is fit perfectly to me. It is beautiful, of the highest quality, and an absolute joy to ride. I’d like to believe that my cool-headed and rational approach led me to this point, but I suspect that some luck and magic were also involved (I’m only half kidding!). Everything that other reviewers rave about ATA Cycle and the people that work there is absolutely true. They not only made me the bike of my dreams but also the bike to pursue my dreams. With any luck I will be riding it in good health in the company of good friends for many years. I would challenge anyone to have a better experience somewhere else.
Krys Karageorge February 22, 2022
I first stumbled into ATA cycles in their Cambridge location 22 years ago after having a bitter case of buyers remorse. I had just purchased and subsequently returned a poorly fitting road bike to another local bike store.
The day I walked into ATA proved serendipitous! They helped me find a great road bike and were committed to making sure it fit.
Fast forward to 2022, after being away from road cycling for several years, Husam and his team again helped me find an amazing road bike and accessories that fit my body, needs and budget. The shop embodies cycling passion, cutting edge expertise and stellar service. I can't wait to ride my new bike again! You guys ROCK!
Lou Saledas February 4, 2022
I was looking for a bike shop that offered a more personalized experience along with better quality. Husam's professional bike fitting was great bringing to light some short falls in my riding style along with suggested changes. The fitting was key in selecting the best possible frame for my budget and building a bike that will greatly improve my riding experience. I would highly recommend ATA to anyone looking for that personalized, knowledgeable shop.
Michelle Kim January 4, 2022
I walked into ATA Cycle as a curious first-time road bike buyer and left amazed. I have never experienced better customer service in my life. They made me feel so welcomed not only into their shop, but into the biking community as a whole. Shrey especially went above and beyond to make sure everything fit me perfectly and that I was very educated on bike safety before I left. I really felt like they were doing more than just trying to sell me a product. Everyone should go to ATA Cycle, without a doubt.
Dany Rochefort November 11, 2021
Going to ATA Cycle is an experience! Husam took the time to understand what type of rider I am, my riding goals, my concerns, etc. He was focused on my fit before even discussing bike options. His knowledge and experience are clearly reflected in his approach and how he interacts with you. I now have a dream bike which has me smiling from ear-to-ear.
Santiago Henao Hernandez October 26, 2021
Customer service is the best. I went because I was having some problems with my knee and after some clarification and cleats adjustments everything seems to be okay.
I really want to thank Husam for going and extra mile with me in this process.
Brad Dahms September 16, 2021
Husam and team were fantastic to work with. I went from a super detailed fitting to a beautiful custom built Storck in about a week, and they were there every step of the way. The entire team is friendly and helpful, and despite their wealth of knowledge you never feel any attitude whatsoever, which sets them apart from the high end shops in the area. Would highly recommend new bike purchases, fittings, and service at ATA if in the Boston area.
Ronald Tocci September 12, 2021
I purchased a bike second-hand and brought it to ATA to have it prepped for an upcoming race. Shrey was incredible— she sized, altered and changed the bike so it would enhance my experience; her help was invaluable. I highly recommend ATA to cyclists of any level looking for high quality service and expertise. Thanks Shrey!
Gary Videlock June 16, 2021
Excellent and friendly staff. From fitting to custom assembly, the process was smooth, efficient and fully explained. I had a great discussion and explanations for choices of frame, wheels, gear sets, brakes, and accessories with Husam and I now have the bicycle of my dreams that I love riding. We did a saddle swap the day after I had a chance to ride 20 miles and now it's perfect.
I recommend that if you want a professional bicycle fitting leading to a perfectly fitted (and tuned) bicycle, go and see the folks at ATA Cycle in Concord, MA.
Robert Artola June 13, 2021
A huge thank you to Husam, who’s hands down the best! Came in for a fitting and left having met a new friend who made me feel as if I was his only client.
I truly am grateful for ALL the work, time and helpful insight. I will absolutely never go anywhere else!
I proudly wore the ATA colors at the MA State championships on Saturday!!
Charlie Sneath May 24, 2021
I had an excellent experience with this team. I had plenty of support when buying a new bike + getting child seat installed, and quick service to get a tune-up for my road bike. Happy to have a fantastic local bike shop!
Todd Snell May 18, 2021
5/2021 - Adding to my review from 3 years ago. Despite challenging availability of parts ATA did a great job of recently building a gravel bike for me. After a few bike purchases from ATA Shrey and team know my sizing and are able to deliver a bike that fits perfectly. ATA is truly a great team that makes sure the bike and the fit exactly match your needs. I would not purchase a bike anywhere else.
2018 - I had the opportunity to purchase both a gravel bike and mountain bike at ATA. I chose ATA because I really wanted to nail down proper fit. In both cases the fit has been perfect with no need to go back and make adjustments. With my mountain bike I was able to phone ATA on short notice and quickly have a bike ready based on my measurements from my gravel bike. As expected the bike fit perfectly. As an intermediate rider I really appreciate ATA's service, knowledge, and responsiveness. Overall excellent service and products. Great team. Highly recommend.

Shrey is phenomenal. With her physical therapy credentials and bike savvy, she makes you feel excellent on a bike. She is efficient, intuitive, and you always feel special. ATA has high end bikes and knows you will leave with a big bill, but it is so, so worth it. I am incredibly happy with my evil sexy bike thanks to shrey. I recommend the team very highly to anyone looking for amazing customer care, a hot bike, and some serious speed.

Got fitted to my bike for the first time ever. It was an awesome experience start to finish. Special thanks to Shrey for being great to work with and answering all my questions!

I had my second bike fit today with Shrey, and the experience was as excellent as the first.
Every possible question and concern was addressed, every annoying phone call I placed leading up to the fitting was answered.
Best possible bike shop, best possible outcome. If you have to spend your money anywhere, you would be hard pressed to find a better place, anywhere.
Superlative.

The staff at ATA, starting with Husam, are so passionate and knowledgeable about the mechanics of bikes and cycling that it is infectious! As an older rider, my top priority is extending my riding years and comfort. Husam conducted my fitting and explained my body mechanics and efficiency opportunities. He explained the sources of my discomfort before I even told him there was any! He built me the most incredible bike well within my budget, including talking me out of more expensive options that do not add comfort or efficiency. I've already ridden more times and miles than last year with no aches or pains or problems and I'm even faster! My bike and I love the hills of Harvard and we will be a fixture on these roads for many years to come!

ATA cycle is THE place to go for bikes and bike fit!!I recently had Husam refit me on my bike because I was not feeling Comfortable. his fit lab is fantastic. the care and attention to detail is what makes him an expert on bike fit. With a couple of small adjustments he had me back again in the sweet spot on my bike, and my pleasure in riding was dramatically increased I am 78 years old and still an avid rider. He told me that I periodically need to be checked because as you age your body changes, and you need to adjust for that. I expect to have many more years of riding. It's a great way to stay fit. I consider Husam the "Yoda" of bike fit

This was my first bike fitting. I was in the market for my first road bike and as someone new to road cycling with some chronic pain from past sports I wanted to make sure I bought the right bike. The fitting process was extensive. The first day was focused on taking measurements and having me ride the fitting bike they have in the lab. Not being very familiar with the process I was comfortable asking questions and felt like I was in good hands the entire time. I was able to talk with the fitter about possible adjustments and once I got my bike it fit perfectly. I just finished my first road ride of the season and none of the old pain came back so I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.

Went here last weekend on a bike trip from Boston to Concord — got a flat a mile away from the town and they were super helpful in fixing it! They offered to do it for me or provided me with the tools to do it myself. Great service and a lot of cool stuff! This bike shop is on my list if I ever need anything in Concord again.

If you want to buy a bike in USA, AtaCycle is the place. Best pro road bike shop. They helped me to get my dream bike. All team especially Mr. Husam is very knowledgable about bike fitting. I nearly went all bike shops in Boston but the variety that AtaCycle provides is unbelievable. This is not a standart bike shop. They are not trying to sell you bike, they are helping you to find the best possible option for your body type. They have a very wide range of bikes. If you are planning to buy a bike do not decide before calling or visiting AtaCycle.

Outstanding experience. A level of expertise matched with a willingness to share, helping formulate detailed solutions. Grateful for the opportunity to work with ATA.

I recently purchased a bike fit and new bike from ATA Cycle and I have to say, they deserve their sterling reputation as one of the best bike shops in the country. The owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The fit process was exceptional. The owner personally conducted my fit on the machine he designed and built himself, and he showed me in real time how much my comfort and pedaling efficiency could improve with the right fit. It was really, really cool. The owner then recommended the perfect frame for my fit, ordered it, built it himself, and delivered it to me in just a couple weeks. This was all done in within my budget as well. I took delivery of my new bike last week and it is absolutely perfect. I have never been so comfortable and happy while cycling. ATA's bike fit and custom build process are indeed more expensive than buying online or from the big box bike brands, but if you are serious about being efficient, comfortable, and happy while riding your bike, it will be the best money you can spend. I simply cannot recommend ATA Cycle enough.

The best of the best! Sold me an awesome bike after an extensive fitting. Never had a bike fit me so well. Also used fitting information to adjust my existing hybrid bike - no more knee pain after six months of pain - no more doctor visits, PT, braces or ice - 62 miles yesterday and I'm good as new. Don't buy from a retailer that will sell you a prebuilt bike off their shop floor without regard to the details that matter!

Second to none! I have purchased bikes from every major store in the Metro Boston area and my experience with ATA cycle sets them apart. I was about to purchase a BMC roadmachine from Wheelworks, when unsatisfied with the "take it or leave it" attitude of their salesforce I decided to check out ATA. Having back and neck issues, I have used ATA for a previous bike fitting but I never considered having a bike built there considering the cost to be too exorbitant. (Husam only stocks the best of the best). I worked with Husam to build a bike to fit my needs/budget, and though the price tag was ultimately higher then the roadmachine, I think that the cost differential was more then made up in the value that I received. The primary value was that I have a bike that fits me like a glove, is made of the lightest/best materials and components, and the final product just looks/feels great. Thank you Husam and his superb team of technicians for their patience and stellar craftsmanship. If you love cycling then you owe it to yourself to try ATA.

My husband bought me a Blix Sol electric bike for my birthday (2020). One look at the manual told us that assembling this bike was beyond our limited "skills." ATA Cycle has performed maintenance on my trusty old-lady bike for years, so I lugged the semi-assembled Sol to their shop. A handful of days later, it was done—and perfectly, as always. The store manager, Shrey, even went the extra mile (or two or three) and delivered it to my door since the assembled bike would no longer fit in my car. You simply cannot go wrong with ATA Cycle. Wonderful people, superb service.

I knew that I wanted an Open and they were the only dealer in the area. I went to see them and got fitted by Shrey. After talking about what I wanted, they sent me a build they recommended and I got to customize the parts down to the bar tape. They were very knowledgeable and responsive. The build came out great, even better than I expected. The fit was also perfect. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic experience at ATA Cycle designing my new custom mountain bike with blue carbon Niner frame. The folks at ATA were awesome in helping me order the frame and select the wheels, handlebar, front shock, and drivetrain components that would suit my riding style (dirt and gravel roads/rail-trails with some single track). I love my new bike, and I just spent three weeks riding the bike and Nordic ski trail networks in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. Thanks ATA Cycle!

This is a high end bike shop and I am not their usual clientele, but they were kind enough to fix up my old beater bicycle for a couple hundred bucks during the pandemic when less expensive bicycles have been hard to come by, and they were nice about it. They are also always helpful about getting air in your tires. Much appreciated.

My husband gave me the gift of bicycling about 13 years ago by giving me amazing experience of a bespoke bicycle here. I’ll never forget it. That bike is so fast that when I’m at my top speed (which is not fast since I’m an average bicyclist) I feel like the wheels are flying off the road! The bike is lighter than my work purse!
Jason Pamental July 24, 2020
A really friendly, knowledgeable staff, and the best bike fitting I've had (including 10 years of racing all over the US). They helped make my old bike fit better, and when it came time for a new one, delivered a spectacular ride. I've had my new Storck Fascenario for a week now and couldn't be happier. The bike is beautiful, fast, fun, and fits like I've been riding it forever.

Husam and the ATA team are by far the most experienced cyclists, mechanics and trusted shops on the east coast. I have purchased several bikes over the last 20 years from them and all have been very solid and properly setup for my time trial, triathlon, road and off-road racing. You will not find a better shop!
