    Useless brake
    Ginny N.

    TL;DR: Bought bike, was claimed to be inspected, took bike for ride later that day, right handle brake snapped loose and not functional after 6 miles. As someone who's never owned her own bike before (borrowed a variety of hybrid/road bikes), I was recommended to get the Liv Alight 3 bike by a coworker at work to start. After reading all the great reviews, I had my heart set on the light blue Liv Alight 3, and after months of waiting, Cascade Bikes finally had a size small in stock! I picked up the bike on Sunday, June 6, 2021 and was told that the bike mechanic would assemble the bike for me and double check the gears and ensure that it was set up properly. I arrived at about 3:30pm and saw them checking gears and became very excited. I did a short bike test from the store to the parking lot, it seemed okay, and I brought the bike home in anticipation of a longer bike ride that evening. Fast forward that day: I went on a biking trail anticipated to be about 8 miles with a couple of friends, and initially, I felt that when switching gears something felt off compared to previous bikes I have ridden, but figured that since it was just "inspected" at the shop there was nothing wrong. At about mile 6, we were going downhill and as I was starting to brake, something was amiss- the right handle brake snapped and I was not slowing down! Slightly panicked, I stumbled and landed on my left side and fortunately was okay and the bike was okay. I ended up slowly biking back home for the next couple miles using the left handle brake. Now, I understand the meaning of wear and tear, parts come loose, etc; but less than 12 hours picking up the bike that was supposedly tested? Personally, I feel that is not okay and overlooked. I am deeply disappointed and now skeptical of the proclaimed craftsmanship at Cascade Bikes.

    Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff. Went in three times and I had a good experience all three times.

    My high-end cycle shop in Redmond replaced alloy wheels with Enve carbon wheels on my vintage…read moreColnago C-50. However, they didn't replace the brake pads for the new carbon wheels. On a bike tour, I found Universal and brought my squealing brakes to Billy. Not only were the brake pads wrong, the brakes should have been replaced because the wheels are wider. As Billy investigated further, he found the mechanic had also snapped the front brake cable fixing bolt. Had this not been found I could have experienced a catastrophic brake failure. Universal had the brakes I needed in stock, Billy sent me to lunch and replaced the brakes and pads within the hour so that I could continue the tour safely and with the correct brake system. Bille is knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. Thank you!

Most times, this is sufficient. I didn't receive a response so I called their store and was told that "unfortunately, it is already out the door." I was appalled as I was trying to save them (and me, the customer) the headaches of refusing an order after shipping as well as the shipping cost but instead, they shipped it anyhow, caring less. Instead, he (the gentleman who answered the phone) tried to blame it on me that I didn't call earlier and gave me some excuse that maybe the email got lost in SPAM...the email I used to respond to their email. Yes, it was my mistake, but I tried to right it immediately. The next time my son needs a part, we will not shop here at Universal Cycles Company... and you should not use them as well as they don't understand customer service and feel comfortable blaming the customer for their shortcomings. Now instead of solving the problem quickly, we both are going to go through weeks of angst.

When we told him, Spencer invited him to give us a quick speech on the building's design. It was very cool and made the tour even more memorable. ​This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our 4-day visit. We hope to return and do a few of their other tours! ​Thanks, Spencer!

We truly enjoyed exploring the city and found the bikes, the map, and the route guidance from Renee & Trey to be incredibly helpful in making our day successful. We also wanted to send a special thank you to Spencer for coming out all the way on the trail to assist us. We really appreciated his quick help in resolving the issue we encountered with one of the bikes. Thank you again for the excellent service!
