Great stock, helpful staff

My fiancee and I went here to get new bikes after years of not riding. I had actually gotten my first bike there when I was 10, so it was a bit surreal. Some of their staff are really quite helpful: our sales rep really took time to get us bikes that were right for us, even though our price range was on the very low end of what they sell! Their service people are all very competant when we've needed to modify the bikes.

The prices are definitely on the high side, and can be a bit scary: seeing thousand dollar price tags can put a new biker off, but they also have low priced stock as well. A lot of the accessories can be purchased online for less, but there are also a lot of things that you can only purchase through a certified bike store. The personal service of getting sized for a bike by a person who can actually see you and how you fit on a bike is definitely worth a premium.

I'd recommend walking in with some level of education, at least in terms of what sort of bike you'd like. Where to get that education, I'm not sure, but it helps to be able to say "I want a road bike" versus "I want a mountain bike," or a hybrid, or whatever.

They also have bike rentals, for very low rates, if you're a beginner and want to see if you can relearn how to ride a bike! Your body remembers... it's just like riding a bike! :)
