| - Wife let me choose a bicycle for birthday as hadn't had one for years. Just browsing at this shop since next door to JoAnn's where my wife needed things. I asked Ted who greeted me about what kind of bike he thought I should be looking for based on my preferences and likely needs for a bike. He recommended one and ordered the size he wanted me to test ride. In the following weeks I researched online and compared brands, prices, etc. Surprised to find I couldn't beat Ted's suggestion from my own investigation. Later I returned and Jeff helped me try the bike, which was great (Trek Marlin 6) and helped me choose helmet, front/tail lights, lock, mount for water bottle (and free Southwest Bicycles bottle), air pump. Jeff's recommendations were also great, told me what he uses. Love the helmet and accessories. From having no bike a month ago, now I'm riding to work sometimes (23 miles) and enjoying days off and Saturdays riding 60-100 miles exploring town. With all their customer friendly help and incentives, well designed website and connections to join local rides, Southwest Bicycles is definitely worth checking out before you buy anywhere else.
