| - Marty's Cycle actually held a "bike clinic" in the development where we live. My wife was interested in an adult "trike" as she doesn't feel as steady anymore on a two wheeler. Their staff was very friendly, had a trike she could try, and put no pressure to buy anything at the "clinic". Later that day, my wife decided that was the bike. We called Marty and ordered it over the phone. He said it would take less than a week. During the week we drove to his shop "just to look" for a bike for me too. Marty offered suggestions, allowed me to try the bike I was drawn to, left my wife and I alone to talk without any sales pressure, and just made us feel comfortable without any pressure. In the end, I bought a nice cruiser type bike (Electra "Townie"). Today, less than a week from placing the "trike" order, both bikes were delivered to our home (for free).
Bottom line is, Marty's may not be the cheapest. But, the service (free assembly/adjustments, year warranty), knowledge (about brands, types, etc), customer service (friendly, helpful, respectful) and quality (you do get what you pay for!) to me are worth it.
