    I had some major surgeries recently and so looking forward to getting on a bicycle again! Recently…read morewent to the store for the first time and Ian and Steve both helped me that day! Of course I had a lot of questions and some decisions to make to ensure I was making the right purchase. Thank you so much Steve and Goodspeed Cycles! You both were extremely knowledgeable and went out of your way and above and beyond to make this happen for me. I will be picking up my cycle in the next few weeks! This is wonderful and family-owned business and all the employees definitely take pride was my observation. Please know that sometimes there might a small wait while they are assisting other customers. It is definitely worth that wait so they can then provide you with the best experience with your purchase and they will certainly take the time to make sure you are making the best choice for your cycling needs! I hope to be able to make some of the weekly group neighborhood rides they do. Check out their website or call for more info!

    The folks at this store were great, I'm a disabled Veteran and Annet and Steve were fantastic. This…read morestore also does great work in the community I wish I could give it six stars.

    I went in because I couldn't figure out how to use the different valve on the bike tire. Ron took…read morethe time to show me how to fill the tire correctly. I had a question about our bike trailer. He explained how to connect it to my bike. I'm a novice so he said to bring my trailer in and he will help me find the adapter and get us going. Ron is super friendly. Simply based on my interaction with him, I'll be headed back!

    Ron Kittler is a liar on Google reviews. My background if…read moreyou will. I've worked on bikes since the late 70's, built engines and wrenched on cars since the 80's, worked construction and maintenance as a electrician for 36 years. Built a 26x36 garage from foundation to roof. Gunsmith all my firearms. I'm highly skilled with my hands right. Your neighbor Ron is all about $ and is nowhere near as skilled. Here is the story: I acquire a NOS 29" tubeless ready wheel set (Ryde Trace 25mm) for my budget build up of a Schwinn Taff Comp. I want to to use the wheels with CST folded tube tires to keep cost down. I try to mount the tires using plastic tire levers but the tube seems to get in the way so I decide to let a professional do it. I bring him the wheel set to install my CST tires with tubes on Sat 7/15/23. First he tries to mount one in front of me. After struggling he says "there cheap" after I said they are $300 set I got for $140. Then he says cheap wheel set is $800. I see where this is going now after he asks "you want to use these tubes"? Mind you there is nothing wrong with the tires or the wheels. The set is Ryde Trace 25 rim with DT Swiss spokes and Origin8 M3100 hubs. Ryde makes quality wheels for OEM bikes and have their own label. The Trace is a tough rim to get tires on if your new to it because of it's offset. Ron is no bike mechanic. I call on Tues 7/18 at 5pm thinking shop is open. I get voice mail stating he might call back. I leave a message about if he can't do it I'll come get them and find another shop. He calls Wed morning and says he can't do it, he tried, got it seated and blew one of his tubes and the wheels are garbage. I show up around 4pm and ask if he wanted anything for his trouble, he says no as he shuffles me out. Oh look he has a sign saying "No service work now". Ok, I think to myself. I don't look hard at the wheels as I know his game and I did not want conflict. I get home and inspect his handy work. I notice he punctured 3-4 holes in the rim using a metal tire lever, They looked like he used a can opener. Look at Ron's handy work. He wanted to sell me wheels so bad. He could not take his time. Ron just wants easy $. He didn't have the balls to tell me he fucked up. All the 5 star google reviews are from non mechanical folk that can't even air up their tires. If you want it done right do it yourself don't call Ron's FnA shop. The Ryde rims have been repaired with JB Weld epoxy by me. The tires are mounted (tubeless now).

    I've had a hard time trying to frame this. I'll try this…read more I had to listen to a performative dood talk emanating from the floor worker to a customer about chain lubricant that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on an on an on an on and on. And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on and on and on and on and on an on and on and on and on and on. It was a long time. I waited. And I waited some more. I did some serious waiting five feet away in a red sweater. No acknowledgment. No letting me know it might be a while. But that would've likely stopped the upselling I started to see. So I turned me and my bike around and left. It's hard for me to be on my feet that long. That's why I bike. Dood has a right to be into his subject matter. Usually shops want you to feel comfortable and respected as somewhat of a priority, even if you aren't being directly pitched at the moment... it just was not a good vibe. All doods working there when I was in. Way heavy on the dood vibe. Captive audience syndrome. Sigh. Dood has to do what a dood does. I avoid places like this. Going to the bike collective in Rogers Park instead next time.
