| - On the hunt for bicycle accessories (mainly clipless pedals and shoes) I originally overlooked this shop in my neighborhood thinking I could get a better deal at say, MEC or something across town.
Decided to stop in and see what kind of selection they had. First of all, this store is massive and has EVERYTHING you could imagine for cycling enthusiasts. Secondly, the staff was so helpful, and friendly, and completely "let me be" when I could not at all make a decision and wanted to just brood over it. They offered a solution to me that was cost saving and convenient.
In the end (the owner?) answered a multitude of cycling questions I had with patience and enthusiasm. She also told me that they had been in business for (was it 27?) years and really know their stuff. So helpful, and I fealt completely comfortable asking all sorts of inane questions about things I was clueless about. She then directed me to their useful videos online, about bicycle tuning and maintenance. good find. She also attached the clips to my shoes for me, for free, and explained to me exactly how to use them.
In regards to the price, in the end they were very competitive. None of my purchases were above average price, and the selection was impressive. Honestly, if you want a basket (for example), there were SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.
Really enjoyed this experience, and will be back for sure.
