    Keith's Bike and Mower

    I had two bicycles that needed tune up. No repairs needed, just a tune up so I would feel better…read moreabout my wife and my daughter riding them again after a few years of non-use. I got a call that the bikes were ready the next day. Upon picking up the bikes and bringing them home, I test-rode them around a block. I found a couple of minor issues with my daughter's bike. The brake was very soft. It felt like either the pressure on the brakes were not high enough or the brake pads were worn out. The gears when in the middle sprockets were making slight noises as if the chains were touching something. Neither were big problems, and I took the bike back a few days later. Keith adjusted the gears to solve the chain noise problem, but declared that there's nothing wrong with the brakes. More serious problem occurred with my wife's bike. When first brought back from Keith's shop, I had my wife ride it around the block to make sure she was comfortable with all the settings. Everything seemed fine at first, but after about 10 mins of riding (she was beginning to enjoy it kept going the blocks and I was following her on a scooter), she all of sudden headed into a ditch and fell over. It turns out one of the pedals fell off because it was not screwed on all the way. After walking the bike back home, it was simple enough to re-screw on the pedal, but my wife ended up with a bruise on her shoulder. When I mentioned this to Keith when I went back with daughter's bike, he said the pedals were on perfectly when it left his shop, and implied that somehow we did something to loosen it up. I may not be a bike expert, but I have screwed on and off a few pedals in my life. Keith was pretty friendly before but turned less than friendly at that point. I can't speak to the quality of service with the mowers and other small engine equipment since this is my first interaction with them, but it feels like the bicycle side of the business is an add on service and that they are not really experts with the bicycles. I went to Keith's Bike and Mower because they quoted me lower rate than other bike shops around my area. At this point, I feel that was a mistake.

    We've been bringing our bikes to Keith's bike and mower for many years and have always got…read moreexcellent service. Keith is very personable and friendly. I like that I can call the owner on the phone if I have a question. I trust him and won't bring my bikes to anyone else when they need repairs. Because I am also a business owner, Keith asked my advice about a recent bad review by Dan S. and after talking with him I feel I should debunk it. Keith's description of the situation couldn't be more different than Dan S. posted on Yelp. Keith said Dan S. came in and had two bike repaired and he repaired them to his usual high standard. Dan S. called a few days later saying he heard a noise on one of the bikes. Keith said to bring it back in to be adjusted for free. The problem was an adjustment and was fixed in five minutes. Then on the way out the door Dan S. stated out of the blue that his wife fell off the other bike because a pedal fell off and started saying Keith was negligent and complaining that he wanted his money back. Keith told me he was very respectful to Dan S. but could not be held responsible for what happened with the bike days after the repairs were done and asked why Dan S. didnt bring in the bike since it was a serious accusation. Dan S. had no answer for him and left angry. Sounds like a shakedown to me having gone through it myself. Guy wanted something for nothing and Keith didn't give in. Keep up the good work Keith we're rooting for you against all the trolls on Yelp!

    I've had a hard time trying to frame this. I'll try this…read more I had to listen to a performative dood talk emanating from the floor worker to a customer about chain lubricant that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on an on an on an on and on. And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on and on and on and on and on an on and on and on and on and on. It was a long time. I waited. And I waited some more. I did some serious waiting five feet away in a red sweater. No acknowledgment. No letting me know it might be a while. But that would've likely stopped the upselling I started to see. So I turned me and my bike around and left. It's hard for me to be on my feet that long. That's why I bike. Dood has a right to be into his subject matter. Usually shops want you to feel comfortable and respected as somewhat of a priority, even if you aren't being directly pitched at the moment... it just was not a good vibe. All doods working there when I was in. Way heavy on the dood vibe. Captive audience syndrome. Sigh. Dood has to do what a dood does. I avoid places like this. Going to the bike collective in Rogers Park instead next time.

    Tailwind has been my family's go-to bike shop for six or more years. Some years I find myself…read moreshipping them a new bike to build for a kid's upcoming birthday. Other years we've adopted a used bike that needs some TLC. This week they are working on upgrades to my kids' road bikes to make them better suited to racing on the velodrome in Northbrook. As always, the guy who helped us (Kyle) was knowledgeable about the options and had good advice about how to proceed. I knew that would be the case and knew that the shop is always fair about labor costs, which is why I brought the bikes back from Northbrook to have the work done. Long story short, this place is great, and you won't regret giving it your business.
