Reading Cycles

Introduction

Reading Cycles, nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, is a premier motorcycle repair shop and motorcycle parts store dedicated to keeping every bike in peak performance. Over the years, our shop has quietly built a reputation as a go-to destination for riders of all skill levels. Whether you’re rolling in for routine maintenance, an engine overhaul, or a high-performance upgrade, our experienced team ensures you leave feeling confident and ready to ride.

Expertise & Quality of Service

At Reading Cycles, technical precision is our hallmark. Our mechanics bring years of hands-on experience to every job, from routine oil changes and valve adjustments to complete engine builds. Charlie, our performance specialist, has earned rave reviews for installing custom “reaper cams” that one rider said made their “bike sound mean as hell.” Customers consistently praise our “very thorough, honest, and competent” workmanship. When you choose us, you benefit from expertise that maximizes reliability, power, and longevity on every make and model.

Friendly Team & Personalized Customer Care

Service at Reading Cycles goes beyond wrenches and torque specs. From the moment you step through our doors, our staff greets you with genuine smiles and expert guidance. “Charlie and co. are always friendly, knowledgeable, and prices are extremely fair,” raves one regular. Renée, front-desk pro, is celebrated for her prompt and professional customer interactions—she’ll answer your questions, explain needed repairs, and keep you informed at every step. We strive to make every rider feel valued, comfortable, and part of our community.

Honest Advice & Fair Pricing

In an industry where unnecessary add-ons can drive costs sky-high, our no-upsell philosophy sets us apart. We’ll recommend a tire replacement only when safety demands it—never before. As one rider noted, “They told me to wait given that it was only 50–55% wore down. Most other shops would have just taken the money.” Combined with competitive rates, our integrity-driven approach delivers maximum value and peace of mind. Good prices and transparent service are simply how we do business.

Efficiency & Convenient Turnaround

We know your time is precious. That’s why Reading Cycles excels in fast, reliable turnaround—without ever cutting corners. Walk in for a no-appointment inspection and often you’ll be back on the road within 20 minutes. “Stopped in for an inspection and got right in,” reports one satisfied rider. Whether it’s a routine check or emergency repair, our streamlined processes and dedicated team keep your downtime to a minimum.

Shop Atmosphere & Rider Amenities

Our conveniently located shop is designed with riders in mind. You’ll find an easy-to-spot garage front, a clean floor with ample workspace, and a comfortable waiting lounge stocked with coffee and refreshments. The environment is both professional and welcoming—small enough to feel personal, yet fully equipped to handle everything from minor adjustments to major overhauls. Relax, chat shop talk, or browse parts while we tune up your ride.

Motorcycle Parts & Performance Upgrades

As a full-service motorcycle parts store, we stock a broad selection of OEM and aftermarket components: brake pads, chains, filters, cables, and custom exhausts. Thinking about that next horsepower boost? Charlie’s performance cam work speaks for itself, delivering noticeable gains in speed and throttle response. Every part we sell meets rigorous quality standards, and our expert installation ensures you get the perfect fit and performance you expect.

Service Policies & Special Considerations

To maintain top-tier service and quality control, we mount only tires purchased directly from Reading Cycles and reserve the right to schedule service types when demand is high. While a few riders have been turned away when seeking to mount outside tires or bring in scooters during busy periods, these policies ensure we uphold our safety standards, protect inventory, and deliver consistent results for every customer.
