Ten Speed Spokes has served downtown Newport from 18 Elm St since 1970 as a bike shop covering sales, rentals, repairs, and accessories. Official offerings explicitly include e-bike rentals, and the shop carries the Specialized, Trek, and Electra lines. Branch themes describe same-day fixes — flat tires, stuck pedals, quick tire fills — along with patient route advice for visitors exploring the island. The rental program is a recurring theme, with hybrid and e-bike rentals recommended for island riding. One extended negative excerpt describes a fork service dispute, a single counterpoint within an otherwise positive record. Knowledgeable staff and deep community involvement round out the shop’s profile. More than five decades in the same downtown storefront speak to its staying power, and visitors and year-round riders alike rely on the shop for quick fixes between rides. The store is open Tue-Fri 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM-5:00 PM, closed Sundays and Mondays.
