Jared listened to my needs and found a great bike at half the price. I would recommend CAT over the competition every time!

The idea behind CAT is a worthy one--they allow people to fix up bikes at a well-equipped shop for…read morea nominal fee, offer classes in bike maintenance, and sell cheap used parts. The implementation of that idea is rather poor; as the smug "appropriate" in the name might suggest, this shop is staffed largely by hipster bike-snobs who are not at all concerned at helping customers in a timely manner. They will spend some time with you once they get around to it, but even then they only seem to condescend to speak with their lowly, amateur customers. I suspect that regulars are probably treated better--if you enjoy the cliquish, "insider-club" vibe, you might fit right in here; I don't consider myself exceptionally sensitive to it (one couldn't live in Eugene with such a sensitivity), but this place takes it to an intolerable degree. I could probably get over the service issues here, but the last straw for this shop was when I discovered their return policy, or rather their utter lack of one. I fully understand that they can't accept returns on used parts; however, I bought a brand new bike rack from them that, once I got it home, I realized wouldn't work with my panniers. I bought the rack only after first looking on their website and seeing that they listed a standard return policy: "Items must be in new (salable) condition, with hang-tag still attached." I had not removed any tags or opened any of the accompanying bags--it remained in precisely the same condition as when I bought it. But when I asked to exchange it (note: I did not even seek a return), the clerk imperiously pointed to a sign on the desk that said no returns whatsoever. Supposedly, the return policy on their website only applies to items purchased on their website; if you go into the store and purchase the exact same item from the exact same people, the return policy evaporates for some inscrutable reason. I've never heard of such a policy at any bike shop; there are enough tricky compatibility issue with bike parts that sometimes they just need to get returned and exchanged for something that works. Such a policy cuts against the store's entire mission of empowering people to work on their own bikes. So the moral of my experience: go to another shop for new parts; take the classes if you admire or aspire yourself to become a snobby hipster; when you want to buy used parts, get a long grocery list of everything you need so that you'll only have to visit once--you'll be waiting for a while.

The SBDC has been an absolutely invaluable resource for me and my new, small business. From…read moreguidance on preparing my business plan to great lunchtime seminars on useful topics like marketing with integrity or business finances, the SBDC has provided me with tons of beneficial information. It's great to meet other small business owners at the events and seminars. I love being my own boss but being a small business owner can be a bit isolating. It's been great to share stories with people who are encountering some of the same issues. I've received a lot of support, encouragement, and wonderful advice. I highly recommend that you visit the SBDC at SOU/RCC if you are thinking of starting a new business. Or, if you have a small business and have questions or need help, they are the people to ask. Their counselors have an amazing wealth of knowledge and resources for the small business person. Keep up the good work, SBDC!

Kristina was easy to talk to and extremely patient and positive in her approach to helping me to find my own answers. She is very resourceful and great at networking.

To help me with my decision process, she connected me with people in careers I was considering so that I could get more information. She also consistently followed up with me after sessions which helped me stay focused.
