"Broke a shifter cable on a bike ride. Walked in and they took care of me right away. Very kind, friendly and my bike shifted perfectly after the repair. Fast, friendly, affordable, good quality. Wonderful guys!"

"I had a broken spoke 20 miles from home and found this spot. Mark got me back on the trail in 30 minutes, despite having a packed schedule! Great shop and service!"

"I received some exceptional service from Scott today. Went in with what I thought was a badly broken bike (seat was completely backwards and nearly off-kilter). He fixed it on the spot and offered to not even charge me anything, despite that it took at least 10-15 mins of his time. He also offered sound advice on eBikes and which motors/batteries are the best for the money and not linked to battery fires. Very pleasant demeanor too - what a gem of a store! I will buy my next bike from them for sure. Patron this company - they are so knowledge, kind and professional!"

"From the outside, you would never guess how exceptional this downtown Excelsior, MN shop is. The owner, Mark and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable. They have been quick and professional in all the advice that they have given us over the years. They offer top quality bike gear, as we continue to embellish our bikes, which makes riding the Excelsior bike trails even more fun and safe. I think they are most noteworthy for their repair service. You don’t feel like they are rushing the job to get done. The passion to do the bike repair possible comes through. Which part to use seems well thought out and options clearly explained. The shop is thoughtful of timelines and works hard to complete orders to accommodate vacations and road bicycle sporting events. Their pro service attitude is tops. They are ideally located to assist riders on the 3 River parks trail, should a flat occur. I enjoyed using my leather bike pouch, helmet, front and back bike reflector lights, and that I purchase last summer and used the whole season. They offered the hard-to-find helmet size that we couldn’t find elsewhere. We have three different types of bikes and it really handy that they have accessories that fit all of them. They have a fun selection of retro style Linus bikes – I’m thinking about the bike basket that looks great and holds more. Looks like to goes off and on easily and would make taking along picnic items no problem. As winter’s cold runs on, we’re already planning when we can be back on the bike path. High recommended."

"This is an absolutely fantastic local bike shop. They're professional, courteous, and know their bikes -- gravel, road, MTB, fat, and CX! And if they don't have a product you're looking for in the store, they'll get it for you!"
