Johnson and Son Bikeworks

New and Used Bikes

We have a large inventory. Two buildings display 60 new and 120 used bicycles for sale. We have additional on-site storage of new and used bikes as well. Our used bikes start at $50 for a refurbished box store bike. Our average used bike is an older name brand mountain or road bike selling for $150. All used bikes have a satisfaction or your money back warranty for as long as you own the bike.

For new bikes, we are primarily a Jamis Bicycles dealer. Most of our Jamis bikes are entry-level hybrids (multi-use) and mountain bikes. These sell for $340 – $500. We also carry some new Raliegh hybrid and youth bikes. These bikes range between $130- $300. In 2018 we will start stocking Framed fat bikes.

Community Programs

The community has supported our shop over the past eight years. We appreciate that and offer the community the following:

• Allow free use of shop space and tools for people who want to work on their own bikes.
• We have programs for kids who ride to school and adults who ride to work.
• We have provided a workspace and materials for volunteers to refurbish bikes for Syrian families who are resettling (link Rutland resettlement program) in Rutland, Vermont.
• We have provided a workspace and materials for volunteers to refurbish bikes for Freedom Machines. These bikes are given to people in substance abuse recovery who have been able to stay
  clean and sober for 90 days.
• We have provided the Poultney Public Library with bikes, locks, and helmets that can be checked out from the library free of charge.
• We started a library bike pass program that allows local library patrons to rent bikes at our shop at a 75% discount ($4 per person per day). This is available at Poultney and Castleton libraries
  presently and we hope to expand it.
• We work with Slate Valley Trails to organize group rides and other events.
