Spring Tradition - taking my bike into Village Cycle for a pre-season look-over. Love this store…read more Nobody makes fun of my old-tyme bike, kickstand or that I've never taken the time to learn bike care basics. Timmy (Tommy?) gave me a warm welcome back in the service area. After checking out the bike he explained the simpler, lowest priced service package would do. My hubby checked out the eye-candy bike accessories. Oh, my back was purchased at Village Cycle. Get in early in the season. I waited until early May. Two week wait, understandable given the quick winter/spring Chicago transition.

If you're serious about cycling I would recommend skipping. We walked in with a budget of $5000, my…read morehusband and I got about 4 minutes of attention from the sales rep, he didn't really ask us what we had been looking at, he just recommended one bike then offered us a test ride. I think he was trying to get rid of stock. After my husband did the ride, I scanned the QR code on the bike and then looked at the specs so I could keep it for our records. The sales rep then was extremely pushy asking if we wanted to buy the bike with about 5 minutes of attention, he didnt give us the opportunity to ask questions about the bike. He said he only had 1 left in stock so we should make a decision asap, as I scanned the QR code I could actually see the inventory by adding to my cart. I could add 10 to my cart before I got the "lack of inventory" error. So he was definitely trying to push this bike. Now we've shopped around and done our research smaller bike stores are definitely where you should go. They genuinely care about you more, ask you to questions about your riding experiences and do not push you to a sell at all, they know buying the right bike is an investment that shouldn't be rushed. If you're buying a bike in the $200-1400 range this would be a great spot but not for specialitst bikes!

I recently brought my old Myata bike that my father gave to me over 30 years ago to Kozy's to fix…read morewhat was wrong, old or just plain broken ! The people that work at Kozy's are the real deal! They always have the answer when you need an expert. They took my request. Wrote up a ticket and we agreed on a timetable and price. I received a call a week later from a senior manager making sure I wanted to spend this amount of money on this bike. I assured him that I was restoring a cherished item and I was not concerned with cost. He said ok let's do it! Kozy's couldn't have just did what I asked and collected the money (which I knew was crazy for that bike but it was my dad ! I love that they were looking out for me over their profits! I will never use anyone but Kozy's !! Pictures to come!!

I couldn't recommend doing one of their tours more. Do it!!

I came in a while ago asking if they could change the wheels in my electric scooter and fix up a…read moreweird noise coming from the back wheel. It turned out that the rotor for my back wheel was slightly bent. They changed my tires, ordered a new rotor for my back wheel and installed it. They had to completely take apart my electric bike in order to install the new rotor. It took them about a week, about a half week of that was getting the rotor delivered. Great guys, very knowledgeable and friendly, a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Cole waved the charge for changing the rotor in my back wheel because they missed it the first time I came over to pick my baby up, after a few miles it had started making that worrying noise again. Definitely quality of service and they stand behind their work. Highly recommend!!

I came, I saw, I e-biked... and now I'm addicted!…read more Let me start by saying, this place is *shockingly* awesome. I walked into EZ Rider looking for an e-bike and walked out feeling like I had just joined a cult--but like, a really cool, eco-friendly cult where everyone smiles and talks about torque and battery life. The owners Cole and Eric are basically the Tony Stark of e-bikes, but way more approachable and with better jokes. They took the time to explain everything to me, even though my only question was, "Does it come in green?" (Spoiler: it does.) The bikes are top-notch, the prices are fair, and the vibes are immaculate. I've never felt so cool riding something that doesn't require a gym membership. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm saving the planet one pedal-assist at a time. If you're thinking about getting an e-bike, do yourself a favor and stop by EZ Rider. Just don't blame me when you start referring to your car as "the old-fashioned way to get around."

Stopped by and they fixed the gear sticking problem for $20 in 20 min! Very easy to work with them.read more
