Looking for a bike but don't want to spend too much? Paul at Recycled Cycles might have what you…read moreneed. Buying a bike from Paul was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable but doesn't talk down to you. Nor does he push a hard sell, or try to hype up any of his bikes. He comes across as a honest dude. He buys bikes, fixes them up so they are ready to ride, and resells them. The best part -- he offers a 90-day warranty on any bike he sells. Try getting that on Craigslist... Here's how it works. Go to his website and check out his selection. If you see something you like, call him and arrange a time to check out the bike at his UCity home. If you decide you want the bike, you put down a non-refundable 30% deposit on it. After you do this, Paul will spend a couple days getting the bike all tuned up and ready to ride. Then you go back, pay the remaining amount, and take your new used bike. He is happy to install extras like a water-bottle holder or a kickstand for a small fee. I would recommend checking the site often, because his bikes go QUICK (especially the hybrids). He takes credit cards, but I would recommened paying with a check (w/ local address) to avoid a surcharge. Paul also does repairs, and he says that he often works on bikes that bike shops have refused. I picked up a nice hybrid bike for $280+tax and I'm enjoying it.

I recently got a very nice road bike here. Paul was extremely knowledgeable and honest. He knows…read morebikes! He spent a lot of time educating me on every detail of the bike I bought. I will certainly go back when it's time to add to the collection!

I purchased a new Specialized Sirrus 3.0, 5 years ago and usually ride it between 50 to 75 miles a…read moreweek. I have had it serviced at TheTouring Cyclist and they have always done a great job! Recently the frame of the bike broke without any reason??? I made Susan and Sean aware of it and they filed a claim with Specialized for me. With in about a week, Specialized decided that they would replace the bike with a new one. I was able to work with Susan and use the credit to purchase a new Specialized Sirrus 4.0 bike. Which is great because I had been thinking about buying a new bike anyway. I want to thank Susan and Sean for helping me with this. I really appreciate their help!!!

I had been here before. After today, however, no more. Register lady was rude and pretended to be…read moreknowledgeable. The item they sold me for $7 did not fit as they said it would. So they switched it for a $3 item that did work, and called it even. Whether it's $4 or $1,000-- a thief is a thief. Very disappointed as I like to support local businesses, but the way they carry themselves here, I am taking my money elsewhere.

I live about an hour away so I called to ask some questions. I got thorough explanation and was…read moreoffered to come to the store and if I had any other questions to write them down. I took the opportunity to do just that. I arrived and I was not sure exactly what bike to purchase so I was given the opportunity to take several bikes outside and test ride them this was a big help. I also ended up with more questions and the floor staff was extremely knowledgeable also. I was glad they were patient with me with no pressure to purchase anything. I was able to gain the confidence that I needed to choose the right bicycle so I did purchase one that day. I would absolutely give wheelhouse bicycle a five-star rating simply because they answered all my questions there was no pressure with sales tactics I had the opportunity to test ride the bikes overall it was a very professional experience. This experience helped because I also want to purchase another bike next year so sure I will definitely be making the trip to wheelhouse bicycle.

Extremely poor service. I brought my bike in for a tune-up under my plan and they suggested I get…read morea new chain, which was fine. I picked the bike up and withing 25 miles the rear tire shredded on one side. I returned to the shop and was told this was just normal "wear and tear" and had nothing to do with the tune-up. I asked if an examination of the tires was nto something done in a tune-up, and they promptly told me that they have no way of knowing when a tire will shred or become unusable. The shredding was considered "a coincidence". I equate this to taking my car into the shop and know they will look at all the vital parts (tires included) and make recommendations on them. They seem to know what the remaining life span of a tire is I ended up having to buy a new tire and tube, which they would not even give me a discounted price on. They also mentioned that the tune-up plan I had purchased should have never been sold with the bike (not sure what that was all about...). I have been to many of the other bike shops in town and they are knowledgeable and thorough. These folks seem to be in it just for the money. Don't go here unless you really are in a bind. Go to a place where they know what they are talking about.

I booked them for this coming weekend, but then nearly immediately learned that half my party could no longer make it in town to attend. I reached out to Cycle Saloon right away, and heard back within an hour of my original booking.

I will definitely return to Cycle Saloon when we reschedule in the future.
