    You should go to Urban Rider Cargo Bikes today…read more I had been saving up and researching electric cargo bikes for years until last Christmas when my partner surprised me with a hefty sum he had been saving up for my first ebike. I knew exactly where to go because I am extremely fortunate to live only a couple of miles from the store in Ann Arbor. I'd been there many times before just wandering around and admiring the vast and varied selection of electric bikes they have ready to ride. Finally I was ready to actually make a purchase at last. I talked with one of the owners, Kim, about the key features about some of the bicycle options available in store and what I was looking for in terms of size, use, range, etc.. She's a bicycling guru - superb at making people comfortable asking any and all questions and then answering them in a thoughtful and easy going way. This NOT an intimidating bike shop. Within minutes of taking a test ride on a Riese & Muller Multicharger Mixte I knew that I could not settle for anything other than this particular bike. The Mixte has such amazing features that make it a joy to ride. I love the size, the easy to use controls, the comfortable ride, the rear seating option for my kiddo, the accessories, the rock solid kickstand, and everything else about it. In my opinion, it's an engineering and design home run in the electric cargo bike world. It truly is the most fun transportation option I could ever imagine. Now, it's time to get one for my partner.

    This is hands-down, the best bike shop in Metro Detroit/ all of SE Michigan. I said what I said…read more There is nothing quite like a locally-owned bike shop full of incredible human beings who are truly passionate about what they do, and who have taken the time to build an entire community around that. * CHEF'S KISS * I so appreciate all of the effort that this shop POURS into the local community: hosting events with the All Bodies on Bikes organization, hosting cycling clinics and events for the local Venture Out women's group, hosting drawings to give away bikes to local children, being a sponsor of the local velodrome, running support for the local mountain bike events/races, running support for the local cyclocross races, hosting regular weekly shop rides, etc, etc. I love that they've brought a local artist in to do regular chalk murals on the wall in the front of the shop - how cool is that??? All of the brands that CFC carries, are all top-notch, quality brands. I appreciate that they believe in everything that they carry - you know you're getting something good and not junk just to sell junk. I did a bike fit with Larry several months ago, and I am overdue for a maintenance fit as I prep for a big race in the next few months. Larry is incredible to work with. Not only is he an amazing human being to begin with, he is full of knowledge and an excellent teacher who wants your participation and understanding in the bike fit that you're getting. I felt very comfortable asking all of the "stupid" questions, and working with him to figure out exactly what I needed to get a good fit. Whether you're new to riding, or just haven't ever taken the time to get a professional bike fitting, I would 100% recommend scheduling a fit with Larry to make sure that you are comfortable and getting the most out of your bike. If you're in the market for a new bike, looking for bike maintenance, looking for ideas for modification or inspiration, looking for bike accessories, or just looking for local trail recommendations, this place is absolutely a must visit. I will never ever hesitate to recommend Clever Fox Cyclery.

    Deceptive business practices. Extremely condescending to female cyclists in the community…read more I experienced the most mansplaining possible every time I stepped into this store. So much so that I was scared to tell them I no longer wanted the wheels that they convinced me to buy before a big move. Go to other local bike stores owned by Michigan natives who care about the community. This shop will play into old cycling politics and will protect their own business over their customer's best interest. I wish them the best of luck surviving as an independent bike shop in Michigan. It's a really tough market and they honestly had no idea what they were getting into

    Cyclewerks Bicycle Shop - Wrong angle of the QR lever, and it was loose as well.

    They took my old Fuel Ex 8 in as a trade in and helped me find a Dual Sport 1 on sale. They were…read moregreat to work with. I am between a medium and small size for the bike and they recommended the medium, which was the best call. I'm short but have long arms.

    I am disappointed in CycleWerks: while the staff is nice and they have "tried to find the right…read morebike" for me but they have missed the mark: the first two I don't blame them because my needs evolved, the FX Sport 4 was a disaster: selling me a $2K bike (decent carbon frame) with a $700 drivetrain was an absolute ripoff. Had the salesperson (whom I won't name) told me I needed a better drivetrain and go higher, I would have done more research and found my way to an Endurance Bike. I went to another bike shop locally, and they flat out said their is nothing that could be done to upgrade the bike, get a better bike (ie Endurance). They sold me the closest bike to what they had for what I described, but they didn't talk thru all the options, and the salesperson telling me this was a performance bike with a Shimano Cues was not accurate: this was also the guy that said I would average 20mph, which I am lucky to do 16-17 mph. Unless you know what you want, they are not going to talk thru the options, they will just sell you a bike, even it is not right or the components are absolute junk. While I can't say don't shop from them, don't expect them to provide knowledge and direct you towards the right bike: thus the 3 star rating (kind of average).
