Customer Service
Pros:
"Howard was great to work with. Very knowledgeable."
"When I went back the 4th time they switched out the bike with a brand new one of the same model that's been riding beautifully since I picked it up."
"Technicians perform outstanding service."
"They are always ready and willing to answer them."
"I really appreciated their patience making sure my parents were fully comfortable and they happily answered every question."
"The service department led by Alex is top notch."
"The Staff is superb and super knowledgeable."
Cons:
"The most frustrating group of people I’ve ever worked with. They can’t even get me a simple axel replacement for my mountain bike, which I bought from them. They were dismissive, angry and entirely unprofessional."
"Not good I call before I went to the place explain to them what I was calling for and they were like yes we do and I was like okay got my bike tie-down to my car and you over an hour to the shop to be rejected in less than a minute what a waste of time and money."
"Please call and inform customers if the part they ordered did not work. Instead of saying 'the bike is ready'."
"When you buying something in this store you feel as you doing a favor to them, you don't feel as you suppose to feel as client."
"If I could leave zero stars, I would. have never encountered such elitist and rude treatment in my life."
"When the repairer was finally ready, he was short and definitely not as kind with me as the ‘regulars’."
"I will never purchase from here EVER. Money will go back to big box store. You ruin the reason why people need to support small business."
Product and Service Quality
Pros:
"Bought my cross country MTB there and they gave me an amazing deal with great service."
"They have a great setup for waiting outside during covid with a tent cover and let only a handful in at a time which definitely makes shopping for a bike more organized."
"Huge inventory of bicycles and accessories to choose from."
"They have an excellent inventory in-store."
"Their mechanics are top notch."
"Had my 29” front fork and rear suspension serviced and they were like new."
"They always do what they can to help. I needed a tire to go downhill biking and they ended finding me a rental at a great price."
Cons:
"We stand there quietly while we see old time customers get first class service, jump us in line."
"Another family that came in after us was also shown the same set of options when they asked for a bike for their son (similar age to my daughter). The sticker shock had them running out the store very quickly after they came in."
"I also thought the prices were very high compared to other cycling shops in the area."
"I went into the store with my daughter and the young man could not keep his eyes off my daughter. Very unprofessional behavior."
"I wanted to buy a bike but they just didn’t have it in the model I wanted."
"Mine experienced some terrible issues with the chain grinding so badly that I went in 3 times to try and have it fixed."
"Too expensive place to service your bike! They don't want to service your bike, they just want you to junk yours and buy one of their expensive bikes ~$500!"
Shopping Experience
Pros:
"A friend told me to try this place even though it was further from my house than a competitor. Was totally worth it."
"Great store with lots to choose from."
"By far the best bike store and one of overall stores I’ve yet to deal with in the area. Strong expertise, great customer service and go above and beyond."
"The shop is clean, well organized and stocked with a diverse selection."
