“The staff here were really nice and welcoming when I came in, which I appreciated a lot. Overall, the experience was fine, but I unfortunately have to mention the price. I paid $38 just for two mountain bike brake lines, no housing or installation, simply the lines themselves. That felt a bit unreasonable, especially since I didnu2019t need anything fancy and other shops usually have them for much much less. I understand”

“I just purchased this bike from bike4life at about 3:30 today. Sam was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. I have nothing but great things to say about this bike shop.

“I went in for a tire change, got the tube replaced and immediately after leaving had a flat again, went back and had to have the whole tire replaced and was charged for service again along with expedited labor which I didnu2019t ask for the second time. The owner gives a whole wordy spiel to avoid making it their fault if the service doesnu2019t work but Iu2019m not a bike technician so why am I telling him what needs to be done”

“My experience at Bike4Life was great! I called ahead of time to ask an expected wait for a bike tune up and Sam was very friendly and told me to bring my bike in. I paid for the rush fee of $25 and got my bike back the next day while also getting a new tube, tire, brake pads, bike lock and helmet. The shop had many options for my needs and Sam was so helpful and kind. Iu2019ll definitely be recommending this spot to my f”
