After reading several online reviews regarding this Café and Bike Shop, and considering them a bit…read morevague and thus misleading, I decided to visit in person to see for myself what this Bike Shop and Café was all about. While doing so, I discovered that those other reviews were providing lack of information that by doing so weren't doing justice to this extraordinary Café and Bicycle business. I arrived on the Wednesday morning of Christmas Eve, shortly after they had opened. Driving my Lexus through Winborne Street in Grandin Village, I made a turn on the right side of their large size building, and in the back was a relatively large parking lot with complimentary parking for customers of this Bike Shop and Café. Inside their spacious building, I found what I consider to be one of the best and most beautiful specialty stores that I have ever seen in my life. And one of the classiest Café around, with a menu developed with the assistance of the executive chef of the award winning River & Rail Restaurant in the Cristal Spring neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia. As one enters the clean and elegant establishment, the first thing one notices is the beautiful shiny floors and the gigantic size chainrings ceiling lamps that hang from the black painted ceiling. Next to the large windows are some tables and chairs of the Café. And right in front of the Café counter there is a cozy, comfortable space, conversation Nook, with a rug defining the area, an eclectic combination of furniture including a sofa, a pair of comfortable chairs, and a beautiful wood handmade coffee table. And today it is also adorned with a lighted Christmas tree. Behind this in an open space building is the counter of the Café surrounding the walls of the kitchen. All around the rest of the open space of the building are bicycles and accessories for sale, and in the back, the bicycle Service department. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality of their products and food. There, behind the counter of the very classy Café, I was able to meet the owner of the place who had a very welcoming and elegant personality, a reflection of the establishment itself. He showed me the menu and I ordered the Cardinal Brunch Burrito, that contained chorizo, among other ingredients. And to drink I ordered the Mocha Coffee Smoothie. These out of an exquisite items menu. Everything tasted amazingly delicious, and the generous portions filled me up. The very pleasant ambiance and the warm and friendly, hospitable personality of the owner, created the perfect environment for an extraordinary dining experience.

My husband and myself stopped by here yesterday to buy cold weather gloves…read more no one greeted us as we entered. Finally a sales person showed us where the gloves were. He offered no input as far as what we mens gloves versus gloves for women, etc... No suggestions. All he was intersted in was chatting with the cyclers that apparently are 'regulars' and deemed more apt then my husband and me. We did purchase gloves and when being checked out we were asked if we were attending Gofest. When told no (had other plans) we were chastised. This is the second time I've been to this location with no offers of help and very unfriendly personnel. I will not come back here or the other location. Amazon is just fine to order apparel and the Trek store on Brambleton offers exemplary customer service.

We loved viewing the 300 sheer cliff walls and watching all the ducks and geese. It was genuinely such a wonderful time.

Besides their bike sales with competitive prices, and complimentary tune-ups after purchase, they also provide quick and efficient bike repairs for various issues, including flat tires and broken hubs. But besides the vast selection of bikes to choose from and efficient service, I was highly impressed by their knowledgeable and friendly staff who offer excellent guidance and attentive service to all who enter their shop. I was able to meet with the person in charge of sales, a young and friendly gentleman with an amiable personality, who has been with Cardinal Bicycle for over five years. He was very helpful in showing me around and explaining their available products and services they currently have available. And I was able to observe him deal with other customers who came in while I was their. One in particular was a gentleman who came in with a beautiful blue bicycle he had bought from there years ago, had sold it, and then after a few years, bought it back from the person he had sold it to. From looking at the bike, I could see why he had missed it. It was amazingly beautiful. He had brought it in for a tune-up, right after having bought it back from the person he had sold it to. I invite you to view my photographs and videos accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place, its merchandise, and even the people which I have mentioned in this review. Roanoke, Virginia, being the Mountain Bike Capital of the East Coast, not only has many local bike lovers, but also many tourists from all over the world who come to visit for the great biking opportunities that this region provides. The region hosts prestigious competitions such as the USA Cycling Endurance Mountain Bike National Championships. It also prides itself of having vast trail networks. Riders have access to hundreds of miles of trails, from the beginner-friendly loops at Explore Park to the technical backcountry singletracks at Cavins Cove. No wonder the International Mountain Bicycling Association gave Virginia's Blue Ridge the rare and prestigious Silver-Level Ride Center status. The bike shop also has a Community Bulletin Board where it has information from places that teach you how to ride a bike for the beginners to future competitions for the advanced. In conclusion I highly recommend this bike shop for all your biking needs and thank all its employees for the exceptional customer service that they provided me with during my visit.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Parkway and All-American Road in the US, noted for its scenic…read morebeauty. The parkway, which is America's longest linear park, runs for 469 miles through 29 Virginia and North Carolina counties. It runs mostly along the Blue Ridge, a major mountain chain that is part of the Appalachian Mountains. *The Parkway is free to drive, with a posted (and honored) speed limit of 45 MPH. It is enjoyed by people in automobiles, on motorcycles, bicycles, and some walkers. The road is curvy, goes up and down mountains, and often does not have guardrails along areas with steep drop-offs. *There are no service stations on the Parkway, so make sure your vehicle has gas and you've had it serviced. There are some towns off the Parkway, but this IS a rural area. *the National Park Service maintains 8 campgrounds along the Parkway. Most do not have showers. There are also some Visitor Centers, with park rangers who can provide information on local hikes and other activities. *Be wildlife aware. We just spent 3 nights camping and hiking, and only saw geese, but there are black bears, snakes, and other critters in the park. *Autumn is absolutely gorgeous with the colorful leaves, but weekends get crowded.

Ok, my name is Jennifer and I'm a Ridge addict. My family and I have driven the Blue Ridge since I…read morewas a baby....so over 50 years. Since moving to NC it had become my goto for something to do on a Saturday. No...really. I drive out to Stuart, hop on the Blue Ridge and the toughest decision is North or South. If I want to go to Chateau Morrisette for lunch or hike around the lake at Peaks of Otter I head North. If I want to drive out to Pisgah its South. Either direction will take me aling one of the most beautiful roads I know. At each turn you are awarded with magnificent views of the Blue Ridge mountains (part of the Appalachia). You can see some stunning floral displays when the mountain laurel is in bloom and watch a variety of critters out for a nosh. The speed limit varies from 35 to 45 so holding a steady 40 is perfect for catching a chipmunk racing across the road or having plenty of time to stop for a herd of whitetail deer. Yesterday I had my first emergency in 50 years. We got a double flat right around milestone 107. We barely had coverage to dial AAA and were then at the mercy of fortune. As we were unable to pull out of the road, I chose to be the one to direct people around the car. I could have cried for joy as these wonderful folk restored my faith in humanity. So many stopped to make sure we were ok. I have to give a very vocal shout out to ine of the parks service rangers. Her name is Tabitha and she turned into our Guardian angel. She called in the accident to her dispatch and kept an eye on us till the tow came. If you find yourself wanting to just do something...especially during this Covid period when there arent a lot of options..take a drive. Decide for yourself... North or South. Either direction will lead you on adventure. Make sure to stop at one of the main areas to pick up a Blue Ridge book...this will become your Blue Ridge ' bible' as it will give you a milemarker by milemarker guide. Stop by the Music center near the Va/NC border or see what I mean by Peaks of Otter. Go see the highest mountain on the East coast (Mt Mitchell) or check out the arts and crafts center. Be aware of your season. It gets cold in the mountains earlier than the valley. If you head towards Pisgah in late October..the road may be closed due to snow/ice. Same actually near Peaks. The Blue Ridge is usually very busy in Summer with folks headed to Asheville, Boone or the Smokies Just remember the rules: take nothing...leave nothing. Rediscover Nature or just unwind for an afternoon. I promise you WON'T regret it.
