We needed a helmet for my toddler but the sizes online confused me. We came here and were immediately greeted and helped. They’re really knowledgeable and do a lot for the community. They made it a fun experience!

Just bought a bike, Benton helped me by showing me bikes and helmets, allowed me to take a test ride, and was very friendly and helpful!! His coworkers were great as well, helping to outfit my bike with the additions I bought (cushioned seat, water bottle holder, bell). I’m so happy!

I cannot say enough good things about this bike shop and their team. We have been there twice and on both occasions the staff (Tim and Eli) were simply outstanding in terms of their knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness. We will never go to another bike shop. This is the place to go.
