We visit Akron with the family every year and have been to this place several times. Always helpful and prices for repairs very reasonable. They were able to fix the derailleurs on my son’s bike while we waited and I’m so grateful. Totally would understand if they were too busy with the summer schedule of a bike shop.... read full comment
