| - This place has the smallest selection of womens' bikes I have ever seen for its size, and literally only one or two small women's road and/or hybrid bikes. If you're under 5'5", skip this place and go straight to Champaign Cycle, which has lots of small Treks to ride (if you don't like Trek, though, you should drive to Bloomington). Also, they make no effort to adjust your bike to fit you if you buy it there. I bought an Electra Townie there and paid full price, and only learned later that the handlebars were set WAY too high; I could barely reach them and could never curl my fingers around the handlebars without leaning way forward. Because I could not yet ride a bike when I bought this one, I couldn't test ride, but this was something that anyone could have seen who bothered to look at me and look at this bike. I later adjusted them myself at home using an Allen wrench, but other adjustments were needed that required tools that i don't own, which was irritating. Also, the salesperson tried to wheedle me into riding a bike that was so big for me I couldn't stand over it. I also was sold a water bottle holder for my Townie that didn't fit my Townie. I was unable to return or exchange it, but they offered to give me some "shims" to make it fit. very lame!
