“Not only does theirs wonderful shop sell a well curated collection of exciting cargo bikes but they also provide excellent maintenance services. They saved the day for me a few times!”
“I was heading out of town for a race and needed a last minute derailleur replacement. They were able to get it the swap done and ready to go while I waited. I love the customer service!”
“My winter bike had a frozen corroded seat post that I was not able to remove, even with heavy tools. I almost gave up on the bike but thought that I'd give Erik's service a try. They worked it, were able to extract it and cleaned it up nicely, saving both the frame and the seatpost! Nice job! Thanks!”
“I recently came back to the Twin Cities to empty out a storage unit, which included needing to ship my beloved vintage Schwinn. I had had a really terrible week--between the difficulties of moving and an unexpected family death, I was really worn out. I was short on time too and pretty desperate to find someone who could box it for me and help me ship it. The first shop I tried was dismissive and told me the bike wasn't worth the trouble but Grand Performance immediately treated me and my love for my bicycle with respect and kindness. They couldn't box it that day but offered to take it and box it later for a BikeFlights shipment. They had such knowledgeable things to say about that era of Schwinns and when I apologized for it not being worth much, they affirmed that my attachment to it was worth enough (worth everything, actually, is what they said). That this is a racing shop is an even greater testament to how they treat everyone who comes through their door, no matter who they are and what kind of bicycle they have. You don't have to know anything about bikes or own something fancy to be welcomed here. This is how a bike shop should be and I can't thank them enough for their help that day.”
“I am so thankful for LBS! Everyone is so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable- and they customized a bike for me that I actually LOVE to ride! The cherry on top- unbelievably delicious coffee and tea bevs, made by baristas who are highly skilled in the art of Yum.
Best bike shop ever!”
“I highly recommend bike lessons with Alicia! We signed up my 7 year old son, who was afraid to try biking without training wheels. Alicia was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. She was so encouraging, and she guided him to learn one skill at a time till he was pedaling like a pro by the end of the lesson.”
