    I know what you're thinking. Al's Quick Release...Hey, isn't this Travolta's favorite massage…read moreparlor? No Silly, but it is a fabulous hidden gem in downtown Davison. They have some of the best service I have ever received when it comes to bicycles. I have personally bought my own bike here 3 years ago, and it's still going strong. They really took the time to assess what was important to me in a bike and made suggestions around that. They seriously have about 60+ bikes for adults in the showroom along with another 20+ for kids as well as one of the most complete parts/accessories selection around. You're a skater you say? No worries. They have you covered as well. Boards, wheels, bearings, tattoos, meth...Hey you kids! Stay of my grass! Damn kids, with their hip and their hop! Okay, so I have no clue what boarders like or need, but they have a nice selection of things that one could ask for....I tried to be like Tony Hawk and do a 920 McTwist, but wouldn't you know McDonald's doesn't serve anything like that. I think Avril Lavigne was there last time but that's unconfirmed :) I have twice been here in the past 3 months getting tires fixed (flats) that cost me less than $12 (including labor) each to fix. - That's fantastic! They are quick to greet you, take your bike, and get it fixed all while you are waiting. The owner, Al, has been there every time I have been in there which says a lot to me as far as being hands on. I have found him extremely kind, funny and genuine. The bad? Really nothing. I can say that the other employees are young (late teens - early 20's) and aren't very polished with customer service skills/interactions so it seems that they are very awkward speaking to people. The prices for the bikes (not accessories) are higher than your average Target or Trash-mart (Walmart) but the lifetime tuneups and service well make up for it. Plus, I'm a huge small business supporter. Do yourself a favor, next time you are in the market for a new bike or board, need service or just have questions, take a trip to Al's Quick Release - it's well worth the trip. Now, if you don't mind, I need to squeeze into these bicycle shorts (illegal in 35 countries), and go meet Lance Armstrong...

    I had called Home town Cycle and ask what the price would be to replace 4 cables Brake and…read moreshifting. I had raised the handle bars and the cables were 2 short. the owner ask if I had Hydraulic brakes I called back after verifying that I did. I was told the price would be 189. I brought the bike in the next day and was quoted a price of 325 plus he was telling me that the extender I purchased form a Giant dealer was no good and I should replace that too for an additional cost. I was not happy and told him that and expressed I was stuck and if I am paying that price it better be perfect. He said he could not guarantee that and refused to do the work. I would not recommend this service to anyone the bait and switch and then the push to purchase more unneeded hardware in the extension shows he is only in this to make money. I would not take your bike here for service.

    Took my daughters bike in to have the gears fixed. Got a call that same evening stating they…read moreweren't sure if the gear shifters they had would even work because the bike is "so old". Was also told the brakes were really bad and the wheels were really wobbly. The same bike had been ridden in a competition 3 days prior to that. I was told that it would be at least $100 and the bike would be barely rideable. I feel like they saw a woman who didn't have a clue and they could take her for a ride. Well guess what not happening. I watched the man test the brakes, while holding the brake handles and trying to push the bike it didn't really move. So tell me again how the brakes are really bad. They just wanted to see how much $$$ they could get. They are getting nothing!!!

    I brought my beater bike to On Your Left for a long-overdue tune-up, and couldn't be happier with…read morethis little shop. The open hours are limited, but I was able to easily set up alternate times to come in for both the drop-off/initial consult and the pick-up. Prices are very fair, and your options are explained in order of importance/cost-effectiveness, which is super helpful. For example, I was advised to replace my brake pads and broken axle, but hold out on replacing my worn chain and cartridge until spring/summer since the chain will rust over the winter and it wasn't yet in such bad shape that it was a danger.

    I came across On Your Left Bikes while looking online for ideas about where to buy a used bike in…read moreAnn Arbor. I was looking for a fairly budget option, a bike I can feel comfortable locking up outside in Ann Arbor and Detroit and that I wouldn't be devastated to have stolen (although I'm not inviting that...!). I swung by the ReUse Center hoping to get lucky, but lucky I was not. I checked Craigslist but the thought of setting up multiple appointments to check out random bikes, most or all of which I would probably decide against, sounded like more work than I was willing to put in. This is where On Your Left came in. I came across an online mention of On Your Left that noted the limited hours but praised the owner for his knowledge and fairness; it also said he carries more used bikes than apparent in photos currently online. I decided to investigate. Initially I drove past; the signage for the On Your Left part of the business should be larger/clearer so people know they're in the right place. I was hesitant to enter the store simply because it did not look like a bike shop on the outside. However, I was on a mission and was undeterred. It turns out that, although the shop is small, there are indeed refurbished bikes inside. I think there were around a dozen on the day I was there. They ranged in price from approximately $150 and up, and included a variety of models, men's and women's both. If I remember correctly, there was even a child's bike available. I saw a bike that looked close to what I was looking for (a women's mountain bike with a size medium frame) and asked Luciana, one of the co-owners of the shop, if I could take it for a test ride. She got the bike out for me and told me to take it for as many spins around the block as I wanted. I did take it out for 3 brief rides, making adjustments to the seat height, checking out the gears and brakes, and taking some time to think about it. She was completely patient with me and did not try to persuade me but instead let me spend time with the bike and decide on my own. I really appreciated that since salespeople who pester customers to make a purchase will drive me away from a business every time. I did end up purchasing the bike, an entry-level Raleigh model with Shimano components in perfect working order for $160 + tax. I was fine with the price given that the bike has been refurbished wonderfully and there was nothing I had to do to get it into working order. I left feeling really happy and excited about my new used bike! Luciana was wonderful, taking time to check the air in the tires, adding more so it was in the correct pressure range, and giving me a few tips. She also said I should feel free to stop by when I need the tires pumped up. If I need repairs on this bike or on my higher-end bike (that, alas, resides in a locked building apart from where I currently live), I will definitely return to On Your Left for those services. There was no condescending attitude here and no pressure to buy anything. Nothing but wonderful, personal service from business owners trying to make a go of doing the things they love, adding something unique to Ann Arbor (not easy to do!) in an out of the way location that is definitely worth seeking out. I wish them all the best in their endeavor.

    This is hands-down, the best bike shop in Metro Detroit/ all of SE Michigan. I said what I said…read more There is nothing quite like a locally-owned bike shop full of incredible human beings who are truly passionate about what they do, and who have taken the time to build an entire community around that. * CHEF'S KISS * I so appreciate all of the effort that this shop POURS into the local community: hosting events with the All Bodies on Bikes organization, hosting cycling clinics and events for the local Venture Out women's group, hosting drawings to give away bikes to local children, being a sponsor of the local velodrome, running support for the local mountain bike events/races, running support for the local cyclocross races, hosting regular weekly shop rides, etc, etc. I love that they've brought a local artist in to do regular chalk murals on the wall in the front of the shop - how cool is that??? All of the brands that CFC carries, are all top-notch, quality brands. I appreciate that they believe in everything that they carry - you know you're getting something good and not junk just to sell junk. I did a bike fit with Larry several months ago, and I am overdue for a maintenance fit as I prep for a big race in the next few months. Larry is incredible to work with. Not only is he an amazing human being to begin with, he is full of knowledge and an excellent teacher who wants your participation and understanding in the bike fit that you're getting. I felt very comfortable asking all of the "stupid" questions, and working with him to figure out exactly what I needed to get a good fit. Whether you're new to riding, or just haven't ever taken the time to get a professional bike fitting, I would 100% recommend scheduling a fit with Larry to make sure that you are comfortable and getting the most out of your bike. If you're in the market for a new bike, looking for bike maintenance, looking for ideas for modification or inspiration, looking for bike accessories, or just looking for local trail recommendations, this place is absolutely a must visit. I will never ever hesitate to recommend Clever Fox Cyclery.

I scheduled a fitting with Larry, and he spent over two hours helping dial in my current bike. As someone new to cycling, his expertise was incredibly helpful. He walked me through riding technique, pedal options, and how to properly line up my cleats and shoes. I recently purchased a new bike from Clever Fox, and Larry again spent another two hours making sure the bike was adjusted perfectly so it fit comfortably. After getting my first flat, I called Larry and he connected me with Carson, who helped me out even though the store was closed so I wouldn't miss a day of riding. The level of knowledge and service from everyone at Clever Fox has been outstanding. I'll definitely be coming back for all my cycling needs.
