GBBorn-Again Biker As someone who has recently returned to biking after a long hiatus, I appreciate how helpful Erik’s employees have been in guiding my selections of a bike and gear for all-weather biking. No high-pressure, no trying to sell me the most expensive stuff, just dead-on advice. Everything - EVERYTHING! - I have purchased has been perfect for me.

GBUgh! they claim to carry the most bikes in the usa (nothing that i would want). it would be nice for a “local” bike shop help to carry at least a 80mm presta valve for a 25mm tire and better yet a salesman other than a kid who actually knows whether or not what he gave me doesn’t fit until i showed him their teenage mechanics are -fly -by -nights and when i finally found one after who knows something he quits in 5 months he figured it it out erik’s is a shop who just happens to sell bicycles like walmart and that’s being kind

GBPoor shipping & customer service I ordered an expensive bike stand from them. They put minimal effort into packing the item, and not surprisingly, the item arrived damaged. When I asked for a replacement, they were out of stock and all they could offer in the cause of damage was a $20 gift card. The $20 is gift card is better than nothing, but shipping on their site is $9 minimum, so you aren't really getting much of anything for $20 unless you spend some more of your hard earned money at their store. The whole experience left a bad taste. I don't think I will be coming back.

GBSlow and over-priced delivery I placed an order for a helmet on 11/6, but didn't receive it until 11/21. I think that's far too long in this day and age of fast deliveries. Also, I was charged $18.56 for shipping for a box that allegedly weighed "6 lbs", but there's no way the box weighed more than 2. Definitely feel like I got taken advantage of on shipping fees and am frustrated about the incredibly slow delivery. Doubt I'll order from Erik's again!

GBNever Again In my opinion, this is the worst company I’ve every dealt with. I usually don’t even do these online reviews. Erik’s Bike Shop has the worst communication I’ve ever experienced; they couldn’t seem to e-mail me back or answer any of my calls. Now when I get my mid-grade product I have to pay nearly half the price I payed for the bike, for shipping. I have no intention from ever buying from this company or even possibly recommending to a potential buyer. If one even mentions this company I would strongly urge that they reconsider that option. Humbly.
