My rear disk brake was squealing and nothing I could do seemed to fiix the problem. Jeff found I had a cracked frame which could have led to disaster. Today, when I started my ride I heard a rattling that I could not determine where it was from .. not the bottle holders, nor the garmin mount. I decided to stop in Ryder during the ride. Within minutes, Jeff found that my rear break caliper bolts were loose and that was the source. Could have been a very serious situation. Ryder deserves to be bike store of the year because of their outstanding customer service!!! Richard Garrett, Bike Advocate

The folks are terrific. They only offer Velotric so they really know their stuff. They are super friendly and very accommodating allowing test rides without appointment, on request, behind their shop. We were planning to buy one bike, but we ended up buying two, plus accessories. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a new e-bike, accessories or service!!!

I bought my Specialized Roubaix from Village Bikes about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with…read moreboth the bike and the experience I've had with the store. The staff did an excellent job helping me choose the right bike for me, and they got me a great deal. They also took the time to properly fit the bike, which made a big difference in my riding comfort. After a year of riding, I brought the bike back for its first service. They went through everything, cleaned the bike thoroughly, and even took care of a slow air leak in the rear tire -- all at no charge. The service was completed within just a few days, and when I picked up the bike, it honestly looked like new. Everyone at Village Bikes is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I really appreciate the way they take care of their customers even after the sale. I highly recommend Village Bikes to anyone looking for a new bike or, just as importantly, a great place to have their bike serviced. You won't be disappointed!

I needed a pair of spin shoes & had no luck ordering them on line. Village bikes was recommended…read moreto me by a different bike shop that didn't sell shoes. There was older one man sitting, observing anything that might go on there. There was another older man walking about drinking coffee. Then there was a younger guy with a beard who seemed to be talking with the man drinking coffee as he was working in what appeared to be the shoe area. I felt invisible. I didn't want to interrupt their conversation. Finally the younger chap asked me if I needed help. I told him I needed shoes for a spin bike. He asked me my size and grabbed a pair. They didn't quite fit and that was the only pair in my size. I suggested to go up a size in hopes they had it. I asked if they had any other sizes or styles he said no. I asked if they were going to be getting any more restocked he said no. I tried the shoes on and they fit. I asked if they had more selections on line. He showed me the box and let me take a picture of it, then left me alone. I decided to take them but he out the box back in the stack so I wasn't sure which pair it was I tried on. I walked over to the little coffee bar and he was on his computer, working away. After about 5 minutes I said-" excuse me but I would like to get the shoes please". He looked up from the computer-said "ok" and went and got them. He rang me up, I asked a few more questions that went no where and then his attention turned away. A couple walked in and the older guy drinking coffee pounced on them promptly. I was there around 11 am and I was the only person there originally. They seemed to have a lot of cycles and accessories but I felt ignored and brushed off. I hope you have a friendlier experience than I did.

I was given a list of scrubs that I could order with my work allotment and wanted to try some on because they are all cut and fit differently. Eunice took the time to look at the product numbers I was given, and to pull those scrubs off the rack for me to be able try them on. I was easily there for 2 hours, and she was just phenomenal. Kind, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable about their products. Her husband Trey answered all of my questions about embroidery services that they offer as well. I went to a scrub place in Port Charlotte, and another in Sarasota before I wound up here with someone that was willing to help me. They have my business going forward! Give this store another shot, the new owners were amazing.

Here it is July 1 still no clubs, still no tracking number and several phone calls later. The worst service I have had in a very long time, when an owner won't call you back that is totally disrespectful. The sad part is Bill and Mario have been awesome to deal with and have treated my wife with great respect, I think David may have a problem with women, we could discuss if you would call . No golf clubs no tracking number credit card dispute. What a pain in the butt.

I have had no issues with my bike after they replaced the chain and they even offered to add more air to my suspension if I was interested as well as an overall tuneup.

I later learned this trike came in a smaller and, therefore, cheaper model. The only difference being in the size. I find it hard to believe Village bikes didn't know this trike came in a better size for me. I now have difficulty walking and can no longer pedal this trike. Today I went to Village Bikes asking if they could buy it back. They refused. Needless, to say I am not happy and I won't recommend the shop to anyone.
