Rod's bike shop has been a staple of the central Minnesota cycling community for years. Offering…read morebicycle sales and repair, Roderick keeps himself busy. The relatively small storefront maintains a slew of new and used bikes for sale as well as the mountains of bikes he has awaiting repair. From maintenance on vintage Schwinns, fixies, odd electric shift internal hubs, and modern race bikes, Mr. Niedzielski has the competence to work on everything coming into his shop. His prices are more reasonable than most other shops in town. With him, you also have the consciousness knowing you're supporting local small businesses; rather than the corporate chains (Trek, Scheels, etc). I would highly recommend Rod's bike shop for your next purchase, tune up, or repair.

We drove from Twin Cities to St. Cloud to demo an ebike on sale that was only available at this…read morelocation. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Eddie, a man of few words. When my wife asked him to describe the bike, he was silent! As she looked over the bike, she discovered a long gash on the frame that he said he was unaware of. When I asked if he would offer an additional discount, he said no, it's already discounted. Since the battery on this model was not removable and that the ebike must be stored at 50F+, we decided against it, and ended up buying a different model that we actually liked better. We would have appreciated if Eddie was more forthcoming with answers as a salesman.

When I called back 2 days later, I spoke with another employee who informed me that they were no longer shipping skis and saving them for sales in their retail store. I live a few hours outside of St. Cloud. I found this entire interaction to be pretty off-putting and don't appreciate the mixed information and "gate-keeping" of winter sports equipment. I feel like I was treated pretty poorly by these folks. Maybe if I was born in a different zip code I could buy some skis this season, eh? Seems fair.

I have always been impressed with his recommendations, knowledge and service. The service department also does a great job and they are more reasonable than some other places in town I have been to. I have also bought skis, tow tubes, etc. from them. I highly recommend them for your recreational needs.

They are always friendly and willing to help, Lacy has to have a computer for a brain because she doesn't forget much. Both ladies have made me love this dealership so much. I drive an hour just to go there and get motor clothes. I have been getting quite a bit of grief from the local dealerships in town but I won't stop going where I get everything I need including the best customer service a guy could ask for, Kudos Viking Land HD.

Then as I was about to drive 2.5 hours to purchase he refused to bring it to customer service. Stated "ma'am it will take two minutes when you get here". Then on my way I have an idea, why me drive 2.5 hours when my sister could pick it up for me, having only 1hour drive. Nope won't let me buy over the phone, can't guarantee that if I buy online she can pick up. How is this customer service? So then I talk with a 3rd rep, who will hold the SUP Board for my sister to come purchase, great!!!! No wait, gets better. They take mine and my sisters info. I reiterate which board a color. My sister drives down and the sales guy actually admits to her that they picked the wrong item off the floor to save and then knowingly sold the board I had called three people about. But hey Dick, thanks for the phone call! Unbelievable! They must not work for ant commissions, no one wants to sell, or at least try to help out the customer. This is my second fail encounter with dicks on a rather large purchase.

He wears a men's medium and found a t-shirt on sale rack for $14.99. I found a hoodie on sale also. They had lots of other college items including luggage tags, stickers, pennants, etc. I also found a regular price NDSU t shirt for $20 and some NDSU stickers. There are other colleges there too such as UMD Duluth, Michigan, U of MN and St Cloud State. At check out the tagged t shirt rung up at $22, it was marked $20 and was immediately fixed. Scheels employees usually always say Hi upon entering the store. I wish Scheels would expand more in the Minneapolis St Paul Metro. Eden Prairie seems to far to drive. They also sell my favorite Feetures socks.
