Ramblings of a Bike Mercenary

Hand me my javelin and helmet... I am going into battle with price, aesthetic and function to find my dream bike without killing myself. Here is my journey!

6/2/2011

As the days get hotter and brighter, my urge to explore the city with analogue pieces of steel on wheels increases ... but since I haven't bought an adult bike in almost 10 year the choices seem over whelming.

I went to curbside and spoke to Allie. A…More »

They probably want to rename themselves to douche on wheels!
I actually really liked the selection at this bike store but the staff here is ridiculous. I went in on three separate occasions and each time I practically had to drag the self-important…More »

The staff here is super nice and very helpful, but I didn't really like the selection. First off they had very little in the way of female frames... most of their bikes were unisex mountain/road hybrid. Needless to say they didn't have many small…More »

Sometimes I am a douche! About 15 mins before closing on a late Sunday afternoon I decide to try one more bike shop and cab it to Cyclemania to checkout their selection.

It wasn't bad, and quite frankly I was ready to buy the 2010 female frame Opus…More »

Although the products here are fab the staff knowledge is touch and go. I have been here on numerous occasions this summer and have received varied levels of knowledgeable service, however they were all quite nice.

Their bike selection is quite nice…More »

I liked the service I got at Cycle Shoppe and the selection of bikes is good but the prices are all quite high. Generally speaking there aren't very many super affordable solutions unless you are into beach cuisers, however they are the only shop in…More »

To be honest, of all the bike shops in the city these guys had by far the best prices with the most variety... so why the shitty rating? The owner has an attitude problem.

I was walking by with my boyfriend and decided to ask about their repair costs.…More »
