I bought an electric Tern bike from a cargo bike shop in St. Paul. Immediately upon delivery it…read moresounded horrible and there was obviously something wrong with it. The cargo bike shop was less than helpful. My husband took my bike to Chilkoot Cyclery (which doesn't even sell Tern bikes) and they discovered that it was missing an important piece to the drive train and was causing my chain to rub on the frame. The team at Chilkoot went above an beyond helping us solve the mystery. They called Tern and ordered a replacement part, installed it, and gave my bike a tune up for a very reasonable price. Love this shop!

Next? Oh, I forgot that I'm in Wisconsin. There's always a next in Wisconsin. Where I'm from, you usually plant yourself in one location and hope that they find your curled up self in a corner before they close. Such as it is, let's do this. As we made our way to the backside of the Garage, we find ourselves part of a scattered group of revelers who were all imbibing of the product. That product being, of course, beer. The equal of humanity. The handshake of nations. The reason for our visit. And for good reason, the purpose was to indulge, and that we did. My buddy suggested that we get a jump on the season and have an Oktoberfest. I had to remind him that it being the waning days of September, we were already in the midst. Oktoberfest was well under way. "Semantics, he said, let's just get a damn beer!" Good idea, John, good idea. We both chose an Oktoberfest. Ice cold it arrived to the bar mat, and ice cold it went down. The day was unusually warm for this time of year, so the cold beverage was a treat as we lounged in the Adirondack chairs under the tarp. This was the life. Not a care in the world. Relaxing and watching as the world passed by. Which included a string of pearls who were on parade. Each flaunting their late summer attire. An unexpected pleasure? Or is this the norm for The Garage Bikes and Brew. I'd say that it's worth a repeat visit. Wouldn't you? Quick Tip: There's a stage under the big top. Music can be had if you time it right. Seems our timing is never right. Such was the case on this occasion. The band was packing up when we settled in. We didn't pack it in though. We stayed and enjoyed the beer, and the scenery.

Too often business and service engagements are impersonal. Customers are entitled and business…read morestaff are indifferent. We are used to the anonymous comfort of interacting with preference engines and clicking "buy now" and searching for the extra 1/2% price discount. Then a business reminds us what it means to interact and share a exchange with a human. Sure, it's all commerce and buyers and sellers... But at the end of the day both feel good about doing business together. Ted at Forest Lake Cycle created that experience for me. I recently purchased a bike for a friend visiting from Scandinavia, and Ted helped make the experience a highly personalized and pleasant one. If you want the anonymous deep discount, click away... But when you want to feel part of the fabric of your local community, buy from a place like Forest Lake Cycle. It's a worthy experience.

They also have a large room that they do bike repair in.
