I was in getting a wheel trued one week and when I returned other next they remembered my name and were super helpful. A super nice touch was the $1 off coupons they hand out for the coffee shop next door so you can get some brew while you wait. A great LBS that has won my loyal business.

The shop is pretty amazing, impressive bikes, on-staff subject matter experts that really care about their clients.

Bob and Nancy are wonderful to work with - great place, better people. Thank you!

They always have a good selection of affordable commuter grade bikes for sale. Its also a great…read moreplace to check out if you like working on your own bike but don't necessarily have all the tools or facility to do so. The memberships are pretty cheap. As for the rest of us, who don't like to get down and dirty with our bikes and would prefer to spend more time riding our bikes than working on them, you might want to go to a real bike shop. Its okay for the occasional tube or bike light purchase but if you frequent the shop, you might be STRONGLY encouraged to buy a membership. I stopped visiting due to this a few years ago and I'm not the only one who would rather pay more elsewhere to avoid being harassed into a membership. If I have to pay a little more for the supplies, I'm okay with that, but I don't want to buy a membership to work on my bike if I'm never going to do so. I would rather pay a mechanic to work on my bike for me so I can spend that time doing things more important to me. Its also not a great place for high end or high quality items. They're mainly catering to the college/commuter crowd. But if you're looking for a deal! This is the place to go!

If I could have given a zero, I would have. We had purchased bikes for our family from vitesse for…read moreyears. I was extremely disappointed to find out that the owner decided he would no longer honor the lifetime service agreement we were promised at the purchase of our last bikes. The owner wouldn't even consider giving a discount on the service he promised for free. I get prices have risen, but at least work with me. Do not trust anything they tell you when they are in sales mode. Plus... the same services were 1/2 the price at another shop in town. I guess I got my discount elsewhere.

The bike barely fit but they all worked together to get it just right in the back so I could take the bike home same day. Thank you so much for assisting me!!!! 100/10 recommend.

When I called to confirm the pick up details of the bicycle, the shop said they were not willing to sell the bike for the price on eBay (which they set, and I paid in full) instead they wanted an additional $1000 more than I had already paid.

Not too happy. I paid $120 to have my bike fixed up earlier this year. It had a bent back wheel,…read moreneeded the brakes fixed up, and the chain was skipping on the gears. Upon receiving the bike back from Baker's, I had to immediately correct crooked handlebars for some reason. The back tire had a slight wobble to it, and the chain still skipped (actually, the chain/gears were never fixed or addressed, but to be fair it may not have been made clear upfront that this was a problem that needed fixing). After about six months, the back wheel was totally bent again and the brakes were no longer working. My bike doesn't take any abuse - I just ride it a few blocks around the neighborhood daily. I think the biggest problem here was that Baker's may have been keen on billing for their own labor but they didn't buy new parts where needed. Maybe buying replacement parts would have resulted in less billable hours for the shop, or maybe they were just trying to save me money upfront and it really turned out to be the wrong call, I dunno. I thought for sure they would just replace the bent tire instead of trying to bend it back. Any person who test rode the bike would have realized the tire still had a wobble to it even after their repair work. Maybe a new wheel would have been overall more expensive, but that would have been fine by me to spend more and have things actually repaired instead of spending $120 to get partial function for a few months then be back where I started. I hate to give such a low review to local family-owned business, but I just really regret not spending the money on replacement parts and doing the work myself.

The bikes aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you want a bike that lasts for years and you will enjoy riding then get a Trek. It is worth the extra money. You can be sized for the bike seat and frame. So you will be comfortable on the bike. That is a HUGE difference between shopping here and other shops. If you want fast repairs and the ability to upgrade components shop here. If you want junk that isn't properly sized and tuned, can't be repaired, isn't worth being repaired go to walmart.
