Buying a bike at Aberdeen Bike & Outdoors comes with some pretty nice perks. Besides welcoming buyers to take prospective bikes for a spin on one of the shop's weekly rides, owner Mike Casey sends all new bike owners home with a year of free adjustments, a lifetime extended parts warranty, and a 15-day test ride that allows them to exchange the bike for a different model or size.

It's all part of the staff's core philosophy: that all customers and bikes are treated like one of their own. To keep spokes spinning true, the cycling experts offer tune-ups and repairs in addition to scheduling regular events to dispense biking knowledge to beginners. And as if that weren't enough proof of their passion, they also accept trade-ins, so customers can exchange their old bikes for credit toward the shop’s selection of road bikes, cruisers, kids’ bikes, pedal-powered butter churns, and Wilderness Systems kayaks.
