Typical misogynistic bike shop TLDR: Performed adjustments without my permission, didn't even…read moreperform the service I asked for, then spoke to me condescendingly as if I don't know what a bike is. I went in to get my derailleur adjusted for some ghost shifting issues and to bleed my breaks since it had been a few years and I noticed that my rear breaks were feeling spongy and were taking a while to engage. I have a hardtail mountain bike that I like taking out on trails, so I did not want to be dependent upon my front breaks. I was told that they would take a look at my bike and then text me a quote for how much the service would cost before they did any adjustments. They did not text me a quote for service, but instead went ahead and made the adjustments without my permission. When I went to pick up my bike, I was ignored while they helped the men who walked in well after me. When I was finally able to get my bike, I was told that my breads did not need to bleed since they felt "solid" and just needed a little extra pull on the lever. I was then condescendingly told about my front breaks, and to "use this one when you're going downhill too fast and feel scared". Rode my bike around a bit, and the issue with my derailleur is not fixed. This shop is a waste of time and money.

Told me the work was done but when bike was submitted to me they had disconnected brake cables (to do tire work presumably) and left them disconnected!! A guy named Will took over and reconnected front cables. The brakes had always worked great until I took the bike to this shop. Now the front ones are ok again but the rear wheel slips when I brake. If you do go to this shop ask for Will, he seems more ethical and competent than the other guy whose name I don't know.

There was zero bakery parking so we parked in (empty) bike shop parking lot, trying to safely cross street with our 2 yr old, We were immediately yelled at by owner/worker telling us we can't park there and to move car. We started trying to explain there was no bakery parking and were only gonna be 10 mins at bakery and then head to their bike shop and were cut off and told "that's not my f*cking problem" by the worker. Born and raised in that exact neighborhood and never been spoken to that way by a business and have always supported those local businesses. Will never shop at that bike place again with those type of rude attitudes and lack of understanding/empathy.

5 Stars - Amazing Service!…read more I came into Tacoma Bike to pick up some new tubes and a shifter cable for my bike. After checking it out, the tech let me know I actually needed a new derailleur. I asked if there was any chance they could install it that same day since I was hoping to ride with my wife the next day. Even though they were just minutes from closing and had other bikes to finish, the tech went above and beyond--he stayed a few minutes late to swap out the derailleur for me since it was a quick job. As a new rider, I really appreciated the extra help and kindness. Huge thanks to the team at Tacoma Bike for taking care of me. I'll definitely be back!

REI is a place of GOOD gear. They sell things that work. I have walked into that store many times,…read morethe scent of new fabric and rubber sharp in the air, and found what I needed to survive. The boots will take you through rain and mud and snow. They're made to take you somewhere. Somewhere rough. Somewhere real. The tents hold up in wind, but you will hear the wind whistle through the seams if the storm is strong enough, because Mother Nature will never bow to man's interventions. You pay a price for that. The press sings songs about REI like it's the holy land for outdoor men and women, and maybe that's true in parts. But you don't go there for ceremony, you go for the tools. They make good tools. You don't want to trust your life to something flimsy when you are out there, far from the roads and the towns, when your survival depends on gear. REI has it, in its clean rows, with its well-meaning salespeople, and its prices that sting a little but still make sense. It is the day-to-day, too. The jacket for the morning walk. The pack for the hike with your daughter. The water bottle that won't quit, no matter how many miles you pour through it. It holds up for the small things and the big. It holds up for life. It isn't perfect, but neither are you. Still, you trust it.

Considering that I hadn't had the bike serviced in 12 years, and MANY dried up parts had to be replaced, the service wasn't terribly expensive, as REI gave me discounts. I paid $500 for that bike in 1995, which amounts to about $1,100 today, and the service cost about a third of that $1,100, reasonably low-ish also because I'm a member. Now I'll transport that bike on our new Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike carrier, also purchased earlier at this store. I'm a happy camper.

He uses his mother, Shelley, to email his victims with promises, saying the bike is fixed and ready to be picked up soon. Then, she says she won't be able to reach him when you follow up.
