2 bad experiences here – I've been visiting many of the cities bicylce shops lately as I've gotten into cycling recently. I can say that in my two trips to Bicycle Habitat, I left with bad tastes in my mouth. The first time I was looking to buy a road bike. The guy who helped me seemed to have little knowledge and also showed little interest in helping me. The second time was worse. I asked a man (owner) for noseless saddles. His response, "No we don't have them, that's stupid" I was taken aback by this and stated I wanted i... read more
terrible service – I went in there recently looking for a helmet. i was obviously interested in helments, but no one helped me until i asked....10 minutes later. still bought it though, but i prefer not to go there actually. it seems like they have sales people and repair people that don't know anything (or choose not to) about anything in the store.
Pathetic service – My boyfriend and I went in to buy a bike for each of us. Not one sales person approached us. We asked one of the many staff standing around to assist and he had no idea of the differences in the Trek bikes we were looking at. When I asked him if someone else would maybe know, he snidely responded "I guess so, but whatever, I can help." We walked out. They lost 2 sales that day. Metro Bicycles was friendly and less expensive and got our business.

I LUV BICYCLE HABITAT – Buying my first pair of clip bike shoes...I was so nervous! Everyone in the shop was so helpful, and they were the only place I found that had shoes specifically for women. I went to 2 other stores before I went there. With a laid back and cute staff, I'm fulfilling all my fututre bike needs at Bicycle Habitat. AND...they have an info packed website.
HORRIBLE SERVICE – THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE NOBODY IS FRIENDLY AND YOU JUST WAIT AND WAIT THERE HOPEING THAT SOMEONE WILL HELP YOU. MY ADVICE IS SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE
