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!

Hall Bicycle has been in business in downtown Cedar Rapids since 1898. With a track record like…read morethat, and that they are a Trek Bicycle dealer were enough to get me into their shop a number of years ago. I have purchased three bikes, and have referred a number of friends who have purchased bikes from Hall's. They have a great selection of bikes in every price range. From kids bikes to enthusiasts road and mountain bikes. The staff is very knowledgeable and are keen to help find the bike that is geared to your abilities and riding style. The service department is staffed by some excellent mechanics. Recently they have had a great turn around time on repairs and service. It is not unusual to drop off your bike early and have it ready that afternoon. They have a larger selection of clothing and accessories than in the past, and now offer bike rentals for folks visiting town. The location downtown, just off the bike trail is great. All things considered, I'm always heading to Hall when I need something for my bike(s).

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.
