Repairs are accomplished while consulting and advising me so I get the best equipment I can afford. Also I get informed about what to expect in the near and long term so I can do preventive maintenance. In particular I have to mention Derek, a person in the service department of machinery row bicycles in Madison Wi. A great diagnostician, advisor and technician. The best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

They were in good shape shaped and worked well to do the ride around lake Monona the team was nice to help size us for the proper bike and get us ready to go. They have helmets available if you need one. Clean restroom. It's also a fun and large Bicycle shop which we enjoyed visiting.

Jeff and his crew at Revolution are really amazing.

Jeff and the mechanic working that day took care of my kiddo's tire blow-out and provided solid advice on keeping it together so that he could race again the next day at a cyclocross series. They have a great selection of gear that I pursued while we were there and Jeff pointed me in the direction of a quality tire gauge to help get a more precise tire pressure. Super grateful! Definitely will be back.

I don' leave many Yelp reviews and I hesitate at leaving bad ones. Especially because I found the…read moreguys at Revolution to be friendly and believe each truly wants to provide good service. The problem is there is no coordination between them which I have come to believe is due to poor management. In July I sent my Trico bike case to the shop and later, Chris confirmed by phone it was there. But when I ended 10 days of Wisconsin bikepacking there, I was unsettled for a few minutes as they couldn't locate my case. I could tell they started doubting they ever had it. Fortunately I could quote Chris's name and he happened to be present. He found the case. So no biggie. But a potential red flag? Let's move on. I left my bike to be packed up and sent home in the Trico case...along with a new spare tire, lent to me by a friend for the trip. The last thing I remember is the tire on my handle bars in front of the check-out desk and being reassured there was no need to tie it to the bike. When I received the bike, it arrived in a CARDBOARD BOX, not my Trico case. And...the tire was missing. And...a part of the front axle was missing. (which I didn't realize until after riding a week or so when my mechanic freaked out bc the fork was compressed a little) I want to be clear, there was no shipping damage to the bike; cardboard boxes are fine, but i spent $300 on a hard case and I wanted it back. I also wanted my friend's new tire back. I called Jeff, the manager, immediately after unpacking my bike. Within 24 hours, he was able to find the missing Trico case but not the tire. I could tell he doubted I had left the tire, but I sent him a picture of the tire on the bike. He offered me a used tire as replacement which I refused bc we're talking my friend's tire here. Jeff refused to send me an equal replacement. I received my case (empty), but I'm out $65 for a replacement tire I bought for my friend. Bringing up the missing axle piece would have been futile a week into this mess, so it didnt come up. MORAL: If your equipment is being handled by more than one person at Revolution Cycles, monitor that equipment. Get names. Take pictures. Ask for receipts. Keep watch. Or you may find yourself writing way too long reviews.

I was able to test drive the bike and he made adjustments for me that helped so much. They do an extra check over of the bike too before you leave to make sure it is all in tip top shape. I'm very appreciative.

After enjoying a coffee and a few tacos at neighboring Bandit Coffee & Tacos, we wandered through…read morethe connecting doors into the biker's paradise known as Motorless Motion. The store is located in the historic Madison Train Depot, which sits at the corner of Washington Ave...and you guessed it, the train tracks! Space is gorgeous and has a lot of the original and historic charm left. The main space is a large sprawling open room with floor to ceiling windows flanked by multiple rows of bicycles. There is a smaller space through a step down that features more bikes lining the walls. In addition to the actual bicycles, they offer a wide variety of accessories, tools, kits, tires, tubes, etc...and even a few other outdoor sports for those who go beyond bikes. Service was super friendly. While we were not after a bicycle that day, the staff was very welcoming, helpful and enjoyed chatting up about bicycles...as we had questions! Overall, solid spot in a beautiful location! My pal, which lives in Madison, has since purchased a bicycle from here, so our trip in was well worth it!

Compounded by their proximity to campus and tons of students.

Throughout the experience, the staff where informative and helpful. They steered me to just the bike I needed (and incidentally, not the most expensive one of its type). They took time to help me get the perfect fit (one size up from what I expected ending up perfect for me), and even provided extra advice about how to maximize the use of gear combinations (with this bike having more gears than my old ones). After helping me choose the right accessories, despite my saying there wasn't a rush, they got everything installed on the same afternoon before closing, and I was able to enjoy the bike right away. I definitely recommend Budget Bicycle Center! P.S. I noticed my review says I'm in San Francisco - I'm in Madison. :)
