Freewheel Bike

I've been into Erik's several times over the past few months, and I finally decided to purchase my…read moree‑bike from them. Each visit, I was able to test ride multiple bikes so I could be confident I was choosing the right one. Every time I walked in, I was greeted right away and asked if there was anything specific I was looking for, which made the whole experience feel welcoming rather than feeling rushed or like I was being pressured to buy something I didn't want. I went in on a very busy Saturday to make my purchase, and the team still took their time with me. They adjusted the seats on the bikes I was test riding to make sure it was going to be comfortable, let me wander the store as long as I needed to make my decision, and answered every question thoroughly when I asked. Mark, Mason, and Tyler were the sales staff I worked with that day, and they took great care of me and everyone else in the store. Once I chose my bike, checkout was quick and easy. They sent it to the service area to mount my new seat and water bottle holder while I ran a few errands, and I got a text when everything was ready. When I came back to pick up the bike, Tyler walked me through all the features, helped me set up the app, and made sure I left with no unanswered questions. From start to finish I felt like the team was there to help me, not pressure me. A few days later, I noticed a small vibration in the bike--nothing major, just something I wasn't used to as a first‑time e‑bike owner. I brought it back in, and Nate in the service area checked it over right away. He test rode it, made sure nothing was wrong, and explained what I was feeling (just the motor revving up). He was patient, thorough, and never made me feel silly for asking. I would recommend this shop to anyone. They know what they're doing, they take care of their customers, and they make the whole process easy and enjoyable.

I used to buy super expensive sunglasses and they would inevitably break or I'd lose them so I like these because they fit nice, are stylish, block sun and run about $80. I walked into the store and was immediately helped. I tried on one pair of lens adjusting glasses and he told me to go outside and see how they darken. He was knowledgeable about how and when they darken. He checked into glasses similar to what I had at other stores. In the end I bought a different style from what I had and am happy with my choice. I then walked around the store. They have tons of bikes but also many clothes and accessories. I liked all the Mn themed bike shirts they had available. I'll definitely be back to shop some more. Great experience.

Very disappointed and WAY over budget…read more I brought in 3 bikes (Dad + 2 kids bikes). I just wanted a 'basic tune up'. They had it listed somewhere around 80 bucks. I was absolutely shocked when I went in to pick them up and my total was almost $1500.00! I said there must be a mistak, was just looking for 3 tune ups... The mechanic (without any communication to me) decided that my 13 year old son's bike needed a top of the line performance mountain bike derailer that cost more than what I paid for the bike! To be clear, these are not Walmart bikes, but we like to buy used and take care of them. Then, many hours of 'labor' were also added to my bill. I showed up expecting $300-$500 in tune ups and I actually had to leave 2 of the bikes there because I didn't have enough $$ to pay for them. Pretry disappointing for kids who were looking forward to a bike ride with Dad that day. I talked to someone who was the mechanic and she said, "...yeah, he shouldn't have not called you...so will this be cash or card?" If your Tour de France team needs bike maintenance and has an unlimited budget, this is your place! If not, go somewhere else.

I really appreciated the fact that they weren't pushy about buying a bike or upgrading. They made sure to fit the bike properly to ensure a good size and they offer a discount on any accessories the day you purchase the bike. This location doesn't have the biggest selection of bikes and there was some confusion when it came to picking up my bike and I had to call them a couple of times, but overall I was very happy with service and I love the bike that I got. My husband purchased a bike a week later and also had great service and they were prompt with getting the bike ready. As someone who doesn't know much about bikes, Penn cycle was informative without being pretentious. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to buy a bike.

The store should have been the ones to work with them, not make the customer do that! I have been without shoes now for over 3 weeks in prime riding season. THIS shop does not loom out for customers. All it took was a quick call to trek to sort things out!!! Now they are shipping the correct shoes based on MY CALL to trek. All they needed to do was call..... such a disappointment. Even the trek representative said most of the time a shop will call to fix the problem.

But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have.

We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off.
