5.0 of 5 stars. Great bike store. They have fantastic service and the selection is good. Compared to the four other bike stores I went to in the East Bay these guys had no elitist attitude whatsoever.

2.0 of 5 stars. PRICES so high I almost passed out. Call me frugal, but why is a bike basket $50!?!? Full disclosure: I bought it, but have since seen 3 cheaper.

2.0 of 5 stars. When I was shopping for a new bike I was looking at all the local shops. I wanted to take a hard look at Specialized and hoped for a better experience since they are really convenient. Indifferent...
