| - I'm a commuter and recreational cyclist. Since this store specializes in selling and servicing commuter and tourist bicycles, I give them a lot of business. The fact that it is a worker co-op gives it even higher marks from me, even though I've never bought my bike here, or had it serviced.
Why four stars? I usually buy the parts for my bike here. I talk to their friendly knowledgeable staff, especially their service staff, and make the decisions on which drivetrain parts or rims I'll purchase. I do my own repairs at my local DIY bike shop Bike Pirates. So I use Urbane Cyclist as my parts supplier.
If you are into recumbent bikes, or folding bikes, this is - by far - the best place in the city to make those purchases, as they are one of the few stores in Toronto that specialize in those types of bikes.
As someone else pointed out, this is not a "high-end" race bike shop. You will not find a $10,000 carbon road bike here, but you might find a $7,000 recumbent one.
Overall, a friendly, knowledgeable place to buy parts, accessories and especially folding and recumbent bikes.
