My "go to" bike shop for new purchases, tune-ups, and repairs is Sammy's. The staff is great, from…read moreSammy and John on the front end, and Elijah and team at the service desk. It's not often that the owner of a very busy community-based business will dedicate his/her time to ensuring you are very happy with your purchase. On top of that, Sammy will put whatever he is doing down when children come to the shop, even if it's to just say hi. Not too mention the chartable work that the shop supports in different ways... I personally like having a shop near my home where I can browse and dream about the best bikes in the industry. I have worked hard for 35 years and it's nice to reward myself with a dream bike once in a while. I think Sammy and John get more from the smile on my face on "New Bike Day" than the closing of the purchase. I will support this local business with all of my bicycling needs and recommend them to anyone who is in the market for a new bike or repair. Ciao!

5-star service! Good people! Wylie is awesome!…read more Some background... I bought my Trek Madone from another store. After nearly 10 rides, my front brake assembly flew right off!!! And just before the start of an 100-mile organized ride in Wilmot, Wi! The nut had fallen of during a warm up ride, and the on site mobile bike shop didn't have a spare. He zip tied the cable to the frame and handed me the assembly. Fast forward two cycling seasons (did not ride last year due to injury. *unrelated to bike assembly )... On the first ride of this season, last month (July, 2015), my buddy got a flat tire after running over a piece of a shoe sole that had a nail in it. When the piece of sole fell out, the tire went completely flat. He started walking his bike, and we soon found ourselves at this new-ish bike shop. It was about a mile away. The only person in the place was Wylie. He was ultra helpful! He took care of my buddy's flat in no time! While we were waiting, I figured it was a good time to get my brake assembly fixed. I asked Wylie if he had a nut to repair my brake assembly. He said that he didn't think he did but would call a nearby shop (Sam's?) to see if they could help. I didn't have the assembly with me, but it was in my truck (~10 miles away). Wylie called the shop and said he could help. I told him I'd be back after we finished our ride to pick up the part. About 2hrs later, I stopped by the shop and Wylie had the part delivered within 5 minutes! He even put the brake assembly back on the bike for me! No charge! 5-star service! Good people! Wylie is awesome!

He spent a couple of hours with me fitting me correctly, narrowing down my riding style, and letting me ride a bunch of bikes. Once you get to know him, he's WAY friendlier then people give him credit for. I've never had anyone give me the attention at any bike shop like he did to make sure I bought the right bike. After the purchase, he took 20-30 minutes and went over every nut, bolt, and adjustment on the bike before I took it home. He's also a paisano, so we got to speak Italian with each other, which is hard to find around here!

Recently purchased a versatile, foldable, lightweight bike from Mill Race so it will be easier to transport...we want to try out other bike paths not nearby. Each experience with owner/s and staff has been pleasant and professional! The frosting on the cake is their concession stand with outstanding baked on-site cookies and drinks (even lattes) at reasonable costs!!
