Including your kids ssn numbers in this computer..lol..to make sure that you don't sell the bike for drugs..I know what your thinking..?did i get offended upon his last statement? Nope..I thought everyone was a drug addict..so I agreed with register guys ways of putting tables on people from any said back ground...it's only right? Correct everyone's doing it?Maybe it's just because im at Fellowship house..or because I have tattoos..who knows..or maybe it's because I didn't clean the toilet good enough..ir I emptied the wrong trash can for him..Who knows for real..but now im a drug addict abd im going to sell this bike before i leave that parking lot and run back( 20 feet ) lol and explain to the register guy.." i loaned my bike out for some meth and the guy was supposed to be back..over 10 mins ago." Please call the police..and by the way..can i get another one untill mine is located?lolIll get to the point..youll want to sit down for this one..im for real..take a seat..yes you..sit!!! Ok i just left bike shop ( Non - Profi ) and the faulty part on the bike i worked for was a spindle that goes on the back tire..and after it was fixed..the said price of $69.95.. on a sliding scalw mind you..Yelp..im thinking just like im supposed to think? Are you out of your freaking mind?I work for a broken bike which you fix later and charge me a almost $70.00 ? Really..?Hold on ive got to sit down for that one..myself.$70.00? Wtf? So i ask register guy..hey..how much for that bike over there?Register guy says $100. As is..i say..doent it make sense..i pay for that bike and give back to you this one you just fixed?Register guy says..aNo..i dont want that bike..so pay me what you can on the part and labor.Im like..yelp you guessed it!!! Wtf? So he wouldnt budge..so i payed $5.00 on the fixed broken bike that i worjed and cleaned toilets for..a bike that even the Register guy didnt want..so thats my truth and experience from this ( Non -Proft ) Redemptive Cycles in Birmingham alabama..my advice..dont donate..dont purchase..dont say hi to the Register guy..cause he thinks your a drug addict anyways..Peace..Brian L.​

Out of the 3 bike shops I've visited in the Birmingham area, Bike Link has (by far) had the best…read morecustomer service! Very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Many bike shops are knowledgeable, but the friendliness goes a long way for someone that may be anxious with branching out into new territory in regard to riding/bikes. I have been helped by Scott most of my visits, but have also interacted with the owner and one of the bike mechanics. I initially went in thinking I wanted to get a Specialized Roubaix Sport, but with the bike shortage, they helped me find another great bike that would work for my needs in the meantime (a Specialized Tarmac). When I came for my 30 day tuneup and mentioned some shoulder tension, they immediately had a recommendation for me to change to a shorter stem and did all they could to help me ride comfortably. I also made several gear exchanges as well, as I was learning what worked for me and what didn't. They have been helpful and patient every step of the way. 5 stars, hands down!

Very well, Yelp--you win. I shall review this so‑called establishment, though I HAVE NEVER SET FOOT INSIDE! Do I know what Cahaba Cycles truly sells? HA! Not at all! Perhaps thunderous motorcycles that roar with dark power. Perhaps bicycles--tools of sweat, stamina, and balance. Either way, the mystery makes them glorious! When a place can be anything in my imagination, it becomes everything. That is true mastery of branding, whether intentional or not. In my mind, their halls shine with rows of gleaming cycles, some forged for speed, others for strength. Perhaps their mechanics wield wrenches like enchanted scepters, resurrecting frames with sorcery. Maybe they offer helmets, gloves, and jerseys spun from mystical fabrics that grant mortals courage. The reality matters not! The legend of Cahaba Cycles is already eternal. And what of the staff? Whether they welcome customers with kindness or the delicious arrogance of experts, they deserve applause. Those who understand gears, chains, and rubber already hold more wisdom than Beast Man could ever dream! But know this--the TRUE villain here is Yelp! Its relentless nagging pushed me to pen this glowing proclamation. By demanding my review, it has been tricked into publishing Skeletor's absurd praise for a shop I have never known. That, mortals, is irony of the highest order. So let this stand forever: Cahaba Cycles is AMAZING, MONUMENTAL, and INDESTRUCTIBLE! Whether bicycles, motorcycles, or enchanted war chariots, they have Skeletor's seal of approval. And that is worth more than stars, more than reviews--it is DESTINY. AH‑HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm 58 and not at all an athlete , I'm overweight I'm sure. people think I'm not "serious " so they ignore me , the last time I'd come in here to buy a simple helmet a girl was almost annoyed at my asking questions like I'm supposed to know these things (?) I had not been inside here in a year bc it was so rude and I was angry at myself for buying a 60$ helmet from an asshole - But last month I wandered in to ask if the had e bikes and I hit the jackpot ! Timothy McOmber ( yes I asked for his card !)!helped me , as soon as I walked in he approached asked what I was looking for and even encouraged me to try the e trike they had in the store in the back parking lot ( Homewood store ) - I was blown away and super excited ! It is honestly the most fun I've had on a bike in 20 years! ( be sure bring your own helmet bc of covid most bike shops require this !) He was so incredibly helpful to an obvious beginner I wanted to write the review to tell his bosses he should train all the staff ! He wasn't pushy at all & I did have to ask for his card ( because I don't ignore great service !) Thanks , bc of this one employee I will buy my next e bike and Any bike thing. I need ( rack etc ) I'll buy from this local store bc this young man went above and beyond ! In a world where you become invisible once you're over 55 some people honestly just try to do their job with excellence!( below is his card if you are like me a beginner , and don't want to feel ignored or intimidated by triathlon folks ( haha ) ask for this guy !

How does this only have 2 reviews? Madness!…read more It's a 33 mile, paved, super clean, well maintained bike trail that goes from a park in Anniston, through the JSU campus and on to the Alabama/Georgia State line. At that point it connects/turns into the Silver Comet Trail which continues another 60 or so miles into Georgia, (for all you psychos who want to bike 90 miles). Most importantly, it is as flat as can be so anyone can ride forever on it without getting into any serious uphill slopes which while for some may be fun, for others may be grueling. There is nothing grueling about this trail. A kid could do it no problem. It is long, and so if you don't want to do the entire thing you can start at the Eubanks Welcome Center in Piedmont and from there it's about 14 miles to the state line. The reason I say to do this section if you're not going to do the entire trail is that this is where the trail starts to go through a forest and so the scenery is nice, it's shaded in most areas and you won't run into many crossings where you'll see any traffic at all. Just a flat, peaceful, meandering section of trail that crosses over streams and goes past pastures and mountains along the way. The welcome center has clean restrooms, plenty of parking and is in a nice safe area. If you have a bike and you're looking for a nice place to ride I'm not sure it gets much better than this. Pack what you need for the Piedmont to State Line section as you won't encounter much along the way as far as places to stop for any supplies. But that's the point right? You're going into a forest. There isn't supposed to be anything out there besides the birds and butterflies and creeks and streams and trees and all that so definitely bring whatever you might need with you.

We purchased a Weehoo (a bicycle attachment that allows the toddler to assist in propulsion) a few…read moreweeks ago and have been wanting to take it out on the Silver Comet or Chief Ladiga for a while. We decided to take it to Chief Ladiga first even though it's an hour outside or Atlanta because the elevation profile is fairly level for most of the 32 mile section. We also planned to break up the trip with an over night in Jacksonville, AL. You pass through Piedmont, Jacksonville, Weaver and into Anniston where the trail ends. We divided the trip over two days with the out section on a Saturday and return on a Sunday, which made it possible with our 4 year old in the back. I used my 1984 Italian Columbus SLX steel bike to pull the extra 70 lbs which wasn't easy but still managed to average 13 mph and many times was in the 18-19mph sections. If you are single this is totally doable in a day if you start out earlier in the AM. If you are a family however it's best to stretch it out. This past weekend we parked our car at the Esom Hill trail head, assembled our bikes, and got underway towards Alabama. The GA/AL boarder is just a 1/4 mile from the Esom Hill trail head parking lot. About 8 miles into our ride Nicole's tire punctured and we had a short break to fix the flat. The trail was gorgeous as the first 10 miles heads through the Dugger Mountain Wilderness, part of Talladega National Forest. If you pack a tent and gear you could even camp right off the trail within the parks campgrounds. As the trail is mostly down hill towards Piedmont, the next town, we easily covered the first 14 miles within the hour. The trail covers multiple small bridge crossings In the small town of Piedmont other bikers were stopped at the old Station House. One of the intersections is S Center Street where we stopped at Elevated Coffee where besides home baked goods, coffee and breakfast they also stock a few items for cyclists: from inner tubes, CO2 cartridges, and Hammer Nutrition electrolytes. The following 10 - 12 miles were remote again with good tree cover for shade but also patches of sunlight coming through on uncovered sections. Before entering Jacksonville we stopped at Germania Springs Garden, which had a playground for our little one to get out and stretch her legs and was located right off the trail. Jacksonville was approximately 28 miles, short 4-5 miles from the end of the trail, and was also where we spent the night, at the Hilton Garden Inn. From the Hilton Garden in we had dinner at Calhouns Steakhouse after showering and it was a nice 1/2 mile walk from the Hotel. The next morning, I was up early to ride my bike all the way to the end and back, which took just 20 minutes in each direction. Without having a little kid to pull, I was making much better time and I covered about 12 miles, before hitching the family back for the tour back home. This was an epic little weekend getaway, and I'd highly encourage it for anyone who needs it.
