When you enter a bike shop you normally think youll meet likeminded people who are easy to speak too. You dont expect some douche behind the counter to ask you if the bike you came in with is "yours" and then proceeding off telling you how your bike "looks stupid" because of its small frame. The salesman did help me by choosing lights for my bike and new peddles to replace a broken one - the reason for my being there in the first place. Your local, cool. Just a couple of blocks away, cooler. And you put the peddles on when I was there. But work on your etiquette.

Lakeview is an accessible, neighborhood commuter bike shop. The owner, Charlie, knows whats wrong with your bike, can give quick estimates on repairs, and does great work. His mechanics are knowledgeable and the shop does great work. And Charlie smiles, too. Honestly, though, who cares? Charlie built up a great wheel for me, replaced most of my drive train (but not the parts that will make it another year) recommended the right light, and made some adjustments without complaint after I "fixed" my own bike.

Went in for a tune-up on a Monday, was promised the bike would be ready near the end of the week. Didnt get the call until the following Tuesday night. Fee was $80, and I dont seem to have gotten my moneys worth. Two miles into my first ride, my back tire came loose. Im writing this from the bus stop, as I dont trust the bike enough to finish my ride into work. Definitely gonna try my luck at one of the shops downtown next time.

We stopped in quickly and left about as fast. I dont want to put down a negative review about a brand new bike shop but the service was detached and they only sell KHS bikes. Which are fine bikes if you like them but with so slim a variety it is hard to be enthusiastic about the place. Hopefully they will expand the lines they carry and the smiles on their faces.

Good local bike shop for basic parts and repairs. I needed some new spokes and they were able to measure and cut some fresh ones for me, which I thought was awesome. My needs tend to be more specific (not many shops carry DH parts or do DH repairs), but for small stuff Id come here for sure.

I have visited a few times for parts. The owner was very friendly. Not detached. We discussed dynamo hubs and more. He definitely knows something about bicycles. Not the young kid trying to upsell on everything. I havent tried the shop for anything unusual yet. But I have been happy so far.
