Bicycles
We offer a wide selection of refurbished bike shop quality bicycles. A wide variety of brands, styles, and sizes are available in our ever-changing amorphous blob of an inventory. (Bikes are bike shaped not blob shaped.)
All of our refurbished bicycles are rebuilt from the ground up and are in excellent working order. Any part that is not repairable or adjustable is replaced.
Along with bicycles we have a wide selection of vintage and retro bicycle parts for bicycles ranging from the 1930's to modern day.
We do not keep an inventory of our used bikes because it changes so often (remember; amorphous blob) so your best bet is to stop in and spend some time in our basement.
Specials
Every once in a while we like to be nice and save you all some money.
History
Rick's has been around for a long, long time. Established in 1898 as F.&F. Rick and Co. Bicycles, Parts, Gaslights and Sundries located at 519/517 Main Street in buffalo. We've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. We've watched C Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate… wait. Wrong universe...
Original proprietor F&F Rick (Rick Prime) ran the store until his death in the early 1930's (we think, were not sure if he's really dead or still walking around in Florida). During this era Ricks road the wave of 'Bicycle Madness' that swept around the nation in the late 1890s into the 1900s. Buffalo being the industrial powerhouse and trade hub it was at the time was at the forefront of a lot of innovation. G.N. Pierce bicycles and Emblem bicycles some of the most popular at the time and predated the Pierce Arrow Car Company were sold by Ricks at this time.
After the death of F.F. Rick his son Thomas A Rick (Rick #2) or T.A. Rick as he liked to carve into his tools, some of which we still have around, became the owner until his death in 1960.
After T.A. Ricks death a longtime employee Charles Scherly (Rick #3) purchased the store from his estate and owned the store until 1970.
In 1970 Charles sold the store to Jim Azzarella (Rick #4) who ran it until his retirement in 1987. That is when the store came under the stewardship of Tom “Daddy Warbucks” Aazzarella (Rick #5). Tom who made the decision in 2008 to move the store from Main Street where it had spent 110 years onto Allen.
In 2022 Tom sold the business to longtime super good looking employees Mitch Szczur-Benz (Rick #6) and Tristan Tims (Rick #7) And hopefully we don't fuck it up...
