Here's the revised Yelp review with Ian properly credited and that detail woven in naturally:…read more Buying a bike from Goldfinch Cyclery back in August turned out to be a fantastic decision. We had just moved to the area, and someone recommended Goldfinch when I mentioned I was looking for a new bike. I'm so glad I listened. I test-rode a couple of bikes at first and honestly wasn't in love with the initial options. Ian, who helped me, never rushed me or tried to push a sale. His focus was clearly on making sure I ended up with the right bike for Eastern Iowa riding--not just any bike. He eventually recommended a Kona they had on display that was already outfitted with excellent tires and some really nice upgrades. I took it out for a ride and immediately loved it. Even though I own other bikes, this is the one I keep reaching for--I've been riding it consistently ever since. What really stood out was that I never felt "sold to." Goldfinch is all about matching you with the right gear, whether that's the right bike, accessories, or equipment. They did a great job getting everything dialed in and even threw in a couple of extras, which was a thoughtful touch. We've been back several times since to look at bags and other gear, and every visit reinforces why I like this shop. They remember my name, they're genuinely friendly and personable, and it's clear they truly care about the cycling community in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City area. If you're looking to buy a bike or want a shop that puts cyclists first, I highly recommend Goldfinch Cyclery.

I so appreciate Lillian taking the time to help me pick out a bike I knew I would be happy with…read more She was in no hurry for me to make a decision and nor was I. I got to test drive a bike on a trail and even rented a bike for several days to try out. I know without a doubt I chose a good bike for me. And then she surprisingly pulls out a color I love at the conclusion of our deliberation. I'll eventually buy another bike so when I have a friend over there's no excuse not to take a ride! My dear avid biker son, who is no longer here, liked working with Gold Finch and now I know why. The kindness of the people who work there is worthy of mention also. Happy to support this small local business!

Do not do business with this guy! ***MICHAEL DORVAL SCAMS SENIOR CITIZENS!***…read more My 81yo dad met Mike at a bike show in Pittsburgh earlier this year. My dad was looking for some bike parts and Mike said that he would be able to track them down for him, asking my dad to mail him a check for $205 and a list of the bike parts in question. He promised that he'd get the parts sent out in the mail as soon as he found them. So my dad sent the check on 9/18/24, Mike cashed it on 9/24/24, and then nothing -- two and a half months later with no bike parts or any real explanation. My dad's called Mike several times and was given weak excuses (been busy, slipped his mind, lost my dad's address, etc...), but still has no bike parts and no apology for cashing the check and never sending anything out. Now Mike Dorval isn't even answering his phone and my dad's wondering if he'll ever get the bike parts (or at least his money back). Mike is a crook and a con artist who clearly has zero conscience if he's okay with ripping off an elderly Vietnam Veteran.

Order #72122 (if anyone at the store wants to look into it). Shortly after I received an email saying the purchase was canceled. So, I called the store for an explanation. The manager said the store owner canceled the order because he believes he can sell the item for more money. I paid the asking price! This certainly isn't very good business practice. Think twice before ordering from this location. I plan to contact the BBB and leave reviews on all platforms. Treat your customers better.

Holy smokes. Play It Again Sports has a HUGE variety of equipment for sale. Bikes, hockey…read moreaccessories, golf paraphernalia, wrestling gear, treadmills, skis, baseball/softball gloves, and a whole lot more. You name it, they probably have it. Even the obscure stuff. Some areas are more heavily stocked than others (think golf clubs vs. rollerblades), but they do have a little bit of everything. Don't assume that all of their merchandise is used. That just isn't the case. I found prices to be pretty reasonable, but don't expect to get all that much if you're selling to them. Really want top dollar for your bike? Golf clubs? Treadmill? Stick to selling via eBay or other online marketplaces with wider audiences. Play It Again is especially great for families who have kids participating in a multitude of sports--I'd never buy new if I had kids constantly outgrowing cleats/pants/gloves/bats/etc. When we walked were greeted right away by the nice young guy working. Kudos for that. He seemed very knowledgable when it came to the questions we did ask. Huge store. Very well kept and fun to browse/shop. On a budget or not, I highly, highly recommend Play It Again.
