Nick Attisano, Owner of for the past four years, says, "We make sure the bike is working the best it is for what it is [used for]."
He also says that he will recommend whether or not the bike is right for a person. For the regular person who may not know much about bikes, there are several different types of bikes. Twin Forks can help you select a bike based on many criteria which include your body and your needs, as well as your budget as some of these bikes can go into the thousands of dollars. And they carry everything from kiddie bikes to the more expensive models, as well as a complete store filled with accessories and apparel.

When asked where some of the best riding areas where, Attisano replied that pretty much anywhere around the area is great, it all depends where are are starting from and that you should try to avoid main roads. Starting in the beginning of May, Attisano will run a Monday Night Ride that will leave right from the Twin Forks Bicycle shop somewhere around 5:30. It is for more serious road bikers - the group will travel approximately 15-20 miles. This will continue every Monday night until around September, weather and daylight permitting. You should contact the store directly for information, especially for the right time as it may not be updated on their website. They will travel in the direction of Manorville, either by Peconic Bay Boulevard or Route 24.
