I went to Genesis and they were trying to put me in the wrong bike. Then I found CYCLE FITTERS and he knew exactly what bike was right for me! I am so thrilled I found this place!

So hands down Cycle Fitters is the best!! Very professional and knowledgeable! It would suck to buy a bike only to find out in a month you outgrew it, and need a new one. So be smart and go to Cycle Fitters!

We're calling bicycle shops 'sporting goods stores?' I guess so. I dunno, seems like a specialty shop to me. Can I get a football there? Or a Flayers Jersey?

We had to be a little more liberal with our definitions here Drew, otherwise there'd be like, two entries.

Cyclefitters is not just a bike shop. John has built a community of cyclists from all walks of life. From the young to the old, from the weekend rider to the racer, Cyclefitters has rides, equipment and services to meet your needs.

I did some research before taking my bicycle to just any shop and found that Genesis has been highly recommended from a few websites. They were voted one of Americas best bike shops and won a consumers choice award. Their service was outstanding and they even finished the repair before my scheduled pick up date. I have been getting my family bicycles serviced there since and would never go anywhere else around here. Plus they have a great family ride every thursday in the summer that my daughter loves.

Genesis is the ONLY bike shop as far as I'm concerned! They have been around forever and have always treated me and my family right. We have been buying bikes from them for almost 20 years.

Genesis is my favorite. They treat you with respect and offer group rides throughout the year. My kids love the ice-cream rides and my wife and I like the more advanced weekly rides.
