Brought my bike in to get the chain replaced and brakes fixed (most of the parts were already there, just needed to be reinstalled). They took incredibly long to fix it, and way overcharged me for cut-rate parts. I looked up the chain they used and it can be bought online for about $5, and the other parts couldnt have cost more than $15. All in all they charged me $60 for two simple repairs and took about a week and a half for something that could have been done in less than two hours. My bike didnt have handlebar tape, and it would have been nice if they had just thrown some on since I made it clear that I wasnt happy about my experience. But when I asked how much it would cost for handlebar grip they told me that their cheapest was $20, not including labor to wrap it. I ended up buying some online for $7 and wrapping it myself. Also, while in the store I heard the owner complaining about how cheap students are. Sorry dude, paying for college is more important than having a nice bike!

I went in to Bike World in Ames for a new helmet and with a price range in mind. Selection was pretty good, prices were reasonable for what was offered (no deep Amazon-like discounts but I was willing to pay a bit more in order to patronize my local business), and customer assistance was immediate. Unfortunately, I was directed out of my stated price range instantly without being shown their cheaper options, and when I said Id still like to shop around my price range before buying, the sales associate simply walked away from me mid-sentence. I was taken aback given that there are other bike shops in town.

I had no knowledge of what a good bike was before visiting boke world, but these guys knew there stuff and spent a good hour or so teaching and letting me try out bikes. I left with a Trek fx 7.2 and it is by far one of the best purchases I have made in my life. Thanks Ames Bike World!

Drove all the way from out of town to get a bike repaired on Sunday. Got to the store and its closed on Sundays from September till April. It would have been nice if the website stated that instead of saying it was open.

I brought my sons bike in today because the crank was broken. Service guy actually fixed it for free for us in about 10 minutes. Great service, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great service! Im a very new (road bike) rider and have a lot to learn. Steve was very patient with me and helped me find the perfect bike for my current biking needs!

Tightened a loose wheel nut for me for free when I was riding near by. Saved me from a long walk home.
