The Trikes were without accessories so I had Tonka Cycle order rear lights, front reflectors, bottle holders, rear view mirrors, phone holders, a light attachable to my helmet for night biking, a bag with tools in case of flat tires, and a tire pressure pump. We had to start from scratch since we hadn't biked for 20 years.They did an awesome job and a very reasonable price for all of this. I would highly recommend them!

I gave them my 30-year-old Trek 730 that had fallen into a bad state of disrepair because I hadn't ridden in so long and hadn't maintained it. I had regrets afterward, because I had loved that bike, which fit me just right and had taken me many miles. I had thought it was probably too far gone to be repairable and figured it might have gone to the scrap heap. But I contacted the City of SLP, anyway, to ask. A few days later, their solid waste manager contacted me and said the bike was being reconditioned at Jonny Rock and that I could get in touch with them. This I did, and Jon contacted me when the work was done. There it was, my old bike, completely restored and ready to ride again. Better yet, Jon said he was only charging me for the repair as if I had brought it in on my to be repaired rather than charging me for the bike as if I were a new person coming in to buy.

Some of the best, most skillful bike repair in town -- and a great place to test ride and select an…read moree-bike or a cargo bike. I purchased my Tern GSD here, and have had it and many other cycles serviced here many times. They've always done right by me. They were fantastic for the bike purchase: they let me spend hours test riding different models, and their extensive advice about configuring the Tern was 100% spot on -- from big stuff like the tradeoffs between rear rack / seat options down to tiny details like getting a quick-release key clip on my keyring for the wheel lock key. Wait times for a full service can be long: schedule in advance! You may find cheaper tune-ups elsewhere, but at Perennial you'll get more than your money's worth. They've always been really thorough and thoughtful, tracing subtle noise issues to the root (like the fact that I had the front and back wheels swapped on a bike where they're actually infinitesimally different sizes!). They've made some preventative suggestions that were spot on, such as a nonstandard front mud flap to protect the e-bike motor in winter riding. It's a small shop, and the accessory selection is pretty small. If you want a helmet, for example, you might find more choices elsewhere. But if you want to purchase or service a bike, this is a great place!

I have been a longtime customer of Perennial Cycle and have spent a significant amount of money…read morehere over the years, including purchasing a Yuba Spicy Curry and accessories totaling at least $7,000. Most recently, I came in with my daughter on my Tern HSD to buy several accessories: a Tern Captain's Chair, Tern front loader basket, Tern saddle, and a Yuba Crescent handlebar. The total after tax was $643.12. I rode the bike there specifically because these are cargo bike accessories and fit matters. After purchasing them, I asked whether the shop could install them, since the items clearly would not fit on the bike otherwise and I needed to get home with my daughter. I did not receive a clear answer about whether installation was available, whether there would be a fee, or whether they had time to do it that day. Instead, the interaction became confusing and uncomfortable. I was willing to install the parts myself on site, and I had an Allen wrench with me. I only needed to borrow a 10 mm wrench briefly to hold the nuts that came with the accessories. From across the store, a mechanic I had not interacted with shouted that they "don't rent out tools for stuff like that." I explained that I had just spent over $600 in the store, had spent thousands there previously, and simply needed a basic tool for a short time so I could safely get home with the accessories I had just purchased. The salesperson still could not give me a clear answer and seemed not to understand what tool I was asking for. I ultimately said that I could either return the items or borrow the tool for about 20 minutes. They refused to lend me the tool, so I returned the entire purchase and left. What bothered me most was not just the refusal. It was the lack of clear communication, the dismissive tone, and the unwillingness to help solve a very basic problem for a customer who had just made a substantial purchase and had a child with them. I have worked in bike shops myself, and my experience has always been that shops help customers with newly purchased accessories, especially when the issue is as simple as installing a few bolts or briefly lending a common hand tool. I left feeling like my business and loyalty did not matter. I expected much better from a shop that specializes in exactly these kinds of bikes and accessories.

They supposedly worked with Bontrager to replace but I had to keep checking back only to find the claim was not filed the first time around and 2nd time they refused warranty. I called trek myself and they looked up the claim explained the process and said it refunded the purchase price, but since it was a close out they would refund the full price so that I could get a comparable pair of shoes. The store should have been the ones to work with them, not make the customer do that! I have been without shoes now for over 3 weeks in prime riding season. THIS shop does not loom out for customers. All it took was a quick call to trek to sort things out!!! Now they are shipping the correct shoes based on MY CALL to trek. All they needed to do was call..... such a disappointment. Even the trek representative said most of the time a shop will call to fix the problem.

Very disappointed and WAY over budget…read more I brought in 3 bikes (Dad + 2 kids bikes). I just wanted a 'basic tune up'. They had it listed somewhere around 80 bucks. I was absolutely shocked when I went in to pick them up and my total was almost $1500.00! I said there must be a mistak, was just looking for 3 tune ups... The mechanic (without any communication to me) decided that my 13 year old son's bike needed a top of the line performance mountain bike derailer that cost more than what I paid for the bike! To be clear, these are not Walmart bikes, but we like to buy used and take care of them. Then, many hours of 'labor' were also added to my bill. I showed up expecting $300-$500 in tune ups and I actually had to leave 2 of the bikes there because I didn't have enough $$ to pay for them. Pretry disappointing for kids who were looking forward to a bike ride with Dad that day. I talked to someone who was the mechanic and she said, "...yeah, he shouldn't have not called you...so will this be cash or card?" If your Tour de France team needs bike maintenance and has an unlimited budget, this is your place! If not, go somewhere else.
