I've found the staff here to be informed and helpful without encountering a single bike snob. Just what you'd expect from a neighborhood bike shop - good selection of products, friendly service that's hands on if you need it and hands off if you want it to be.

I was at Bicycle Habitat on two ocassions: First time, salesperson was great. Second time, none of the salespeople could be bothered to help me. It took about an hour to get my seat adjusted because no one seemed to know how to do it. Once I took the bike home, the gears didn't shift correctly due to shoddy work building the bike. I would suggest that you NOT buy a bike here, unless you can get a good salesperson to help you throughout and bike is already built. I would have bought the bike from Sid's but wanted to save a few bucks. Go to Sid's, they have knowledgeable staff, take time to help you and are worth the money. Going to Bicycle Habitat, you get what you pay for. Save a couple of dollars but deal with headaches.

The absolute best of the best! Friendly and courteous, the team of salespeople and technicians truly enjoy their craft and sharing that joy with their customers. My experiences with Martin and all the rest was nothing less than perfect. When it comes to honesty, integrity, and customer care, there is no better! Thank you again.
