| - La Bicicletta are serious about cycling! They carry a wide range of some of the best built road bike brands, starting with models for the enthusiast and going all the way up to frames and builds that will make the hardcore racer, time trialist, cyclocrosser or track rider start to drool with envy (and sticker shock!)
They also feature many top brands of components, shoes, clothing, computers, nutrition products, tools and accessories.
I didn't buy a bike from the folks here so I can't speak to the quality of the sales experience, but my visits to the shop for fit and maintenance reasons made it clear that they listen carefully to the concerns of individual riders and have the know-how to suggest only what they think would suit a given person best. I came in with some concerns about the fit and performance of my existing bike that wasn't even of a make that they normally carried, and they were quick to ask lots of good questions about my riding style, fitness, experience and concerns before recommending a single product or even putting me on the stationary trainer.
They have staff who are certified to perform the comprehensive Specialized Body Geometry Fit to make sure your bike works with your body with absolute accuracy. Even if you don't go for the full BG Fit (which, I've heard, is pricey and time consuming but apparently worth it if you need absolute biomechanical perfection) they will get you on a trainer, spin you around and measure all the key bike/body variables, whether you're searching for maximum power or just want to be comfortable and injury-free on your bike.
The only things you won't find here are mountain bikes, BMX or cruisers, but Toronto has many other options to scratch those itches. If you love cycling, check them out.
