19 million people, 603 shops, endless pavement

Top bike shops in the New York City metro

NY, NJ

The New York City metro area is home to 603 bike shops spread across New York and New Jersey, with the densest concentrations in New York, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Jersey City, and Staten Island.

About 3.6 bike shops per 100,000 residents across roughly 19,498,249 people.

Cycling here is built on urban commuting and street riding—fixed gears and road bikes dominate the packed streets and parks of the five boroughs, while riders across the metro area tackle everything from Hudson River greenways to outer-borough hills and gentle suburban loops. Local shops stock the dependable drivetrain components and frames that keep the region moving: Shimano and SRAM parts, hardworking Trek and Surly rigs, and durable tires like Teravail. Winter riding is real, summer heat is intense, and the culture rewards practicality as much as style.
