Blackwater Bikes

Great spot- team set up a great ride for us and navigated around some tricky weather. Went out of their way to make it a great experience.

And very cool back area looking out over the river.

Thanks for the great day!

Blackwater Bikes is stocked up! Bought some awesome Fox pants not available anywhere. New stairs and signage give a cool vibe and I’m looking forward to seeing what Eric and team do with this soon-to-be world class bike shop!

I had a great experience at Blackwater Bikes. All the folks here were great, but I engaged most with Sue. Sue was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful and patient. She took the time to explain the basics of the bike to me (this was my first time mountain biking), watch me practice and provide feedback, and make recommendations as to the best trails for my experience level (which was ZERO ). Thanks largely to Sue, I had a great first mountain biking experience.

I called ahead and Matt had bikes & helmets ready when we arrived so we could hit the trails within minutes! Great service, great products, great experience!

Amazing service. Great selection of apparel, bikes, & all the gear. VERY helpful with recommending local rides as well. 👌👌👌

Excellent shop and very accommodating. We had a brake handle snap and stopped in for an emergency repair. It turned out they were closed but some folks were there and let us in and replaced the handle, that’s above and beyond service, thank you Blackwater Bikes!

Great service! This is the only place I get my bike fixed. When you need things fixed, they will talk you through all the options so you know what you are getting. Prices are very reasonable and your money is always well spent. Also, their shop overlooks the Blackwater River so of course that is a plus too.

I needed a repair on my bicycle while visiting. I took it in and they were so helpful and fixed my bike. Service was excellent and the people and the place was great! When I need a new bike - I know where I’m going to look first.

These folks could not have been more friendly or helpful. We really enjoyed our time in the shop and chatting with them. I can recommend them as a top-notch bike shop. Just excellent.

We showed up needing to wash some dirty bikes because Black Bear Resort doesn't have a hose that they allow guests to use. The owner was totally cool about letting us wash our bikes and one of the locals hanging around the shop gave us some good advice for our ride the next day up on Spruce Knob. Class act all around.

They were also social distancing and wearing masks which I appreciate.

Rob and Matt have years of experience biking in the area and working on bikes. They will get your bike up to its optimal performance and put you on the right trail for the conditions and your skill level.

I just bought a Tule T2 Classic hitch rack from them and couldn't be happier with the product and their service. It's definitely worth considering when upgrading your current rack.

Their new shop is one of those places you have to stop by whenever you go through Davis. You can't go wrong there.

I visited the area for a week in june. Blackwater bikes rented me brand new e mtn bikes on a multi day package for a great deal and then pointed my so and I in the right direction to ride. We had a blast. The shop owner also came in on his day off and sold me a longer seat post for one of my personal bikes. Cant say enough good stuff these guys made our trip a blast!

One of the best bike shops in the state. These folks are great and very helpful. They not only work on bikes but work hard on the trails in the area to give us the best mountain biking anywhere in the state. Stop in and say HI, pick up some trail snacks, a great trail map and get the lowdown on super trails.

We stopped in here to see if we could rent bikes for the day, and the owner Rob was extremely helpful. He suggested that we stick with the bikes we brought down and not go with the fat bikes that we were ready to rent. He was really honest and is obviously an expert in mountian bikes and the area. He then helped us find a trail that would be good for us! We followed his advice and we had a great time. Definitely recommend checking out this store for beginners, intermediates or advanced bikers!

Fast friendly service, great selection and fair prices. This community bike shop fills all your needs from retail, repairs, and a great rental fleet. Expert trail advice rendered to all who wander in with a cool soundtrack playing in the background.

Incredibly nice staff. They didn't have any rental bikes due to their popularity (and the pandemic), but they tried to find other ways to help us out. Shop was really nice too.

Full disclosure, I grew up about 1.5 hours away from Blackwater Bikes (BWB) and purchased my first "real" mtb from them in the early 90's and have returned countless times since then when I was in the area after moving away. BWB has always been iconic in my mind...the setting, the lore/charm, the people, local legends, etc. Bike shops like like BWB make a community and they've certainly helped make Davis/Canaan Valley what it is today.

On a recent trip back to WV to visit family - I now live over 1,000 miles away - I just had to drop into BWB while riding Davis/Canaan. Suffice to say, it's still the same super friendly feel, with the highest of customer satisfaction first approach from the moment you step in the door. While I have some great bike shops near my home today, nothing...and I mean nothing...has that feel, aura, and history that will ever replace what BWB has in my mind (past, present, and future!).

Great shop, super nice staff, a ton of parts in stock, from cassettes to Maxxis tires, clothing etc. All well priced.Great trail info too.

Friendly, helpful staff. Reasonable prices on great bikes. These guys like to help people enjoy biking.

went there to buy a bike. rob is very helpful and the shop is neat and orderly. i was very pleased and while the store is further away from me then several others in my area i will happily go back
