Customer Testimonials
The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, enjoying my new ride.
Excellent service and bike tune! The attitude in your store is far superior to many bike shops. Your people are super friendly and helpful, as well as very knowledgeable. I've recommended this store to many people. Thanks!
Great customer service, very friendly staff. The owner helped us and specifically asked if we were comfortable talking to him if he took his mask down, appreciated that and him being safe!
There was an employee who offered excellent, individualized help. I was able to find exactly what I need even as a biking novice thanks to his guidance. Would definitely recommend buying here to others.
I desperately needed a bike on short notice for Ride the Rockies, and was lucky to find that Golden Bear had exactly the bike I needed. Ian was super helpful in the sales process, and the service team was awesome in quickly setting up the bike. I'll absolutely go to Golden Bear again soon.
Quick & very reasonably priced service!
Everything is organized and easy to find and all the people that work in the store are friendly and very helpful.

Our son was afraid to be on a bike after falling with a glider. You made him feel safe and comfortable enough to get on and ride around the store. Now he wants to ride his new bike every day. :) Thank you. :)

Great selection and OUTSTANDING helpful customer service!
Friendly and knowledgeable service
Came in to box up two road bikes for an out of state move. Also requested tune ups to both before packing. The service tech told me he would likely undo some of the work when packing the bikes and didn't want me to waste money. The honesty was refreshing and I felt my best interests were at the forefront.
Before the work was completed, another tech called to confirm some details and make sure I would not be shipping the bikes so that a larger box could be used. He didn't have to call, but I really appreciated the attention to detail and care taken.
When picking up the bikes the employee checking me out helped me carry them to my car.
Thank you for the great service!!
Ian is a pleasure to work with. I described the type of bike I was looking for and he was able to order it quickly. All other staff members I’ve talked to have always been very nice and quick to help. I’ll definitely be a regular customer.
Great service. I go to Golden Bear for all my biking needs/wants.
You’re local, knowledgeable, and very friendly.
Your service staff is eager to help and so talented in all things bicycle.
Quick friendly and not pushy
Trek bikes are stellar! The quality is in each bike with craftsman ship and great skill.
My experience at Golden Bear was amazing. The owners were so personable and kind. We decided to choose Golden Bear mainly upon the unbelievable quality of customer care. We left feeling like we made new friends. I give Golden Bear an A+ rating. Great job folks!
P.s. we decided on Trek bikes many year ago due to performance and quality.

Bought my bike from Eddie at the Elkhart location. The staff was friendly and the process was a breeze. Couldn't be any happier with the bike they helped me pick out.
The service has been amazing, hours and location are perfect for me, but mostly, my new Trek gravel bike is the best ride I have ever had. Thank you for all the expertise, assistance and recent service to keep it running smooth and looking snazzy!
I had the BEST experience at Golden Bear Bikes! I didn't catch everyone's name but when I brought in my bike - the staff spent about 10 minutes with me going through everything about the tune up. Took the time to thoroughly inspect my bike and offer some less expensive solutions. I have a 10 year old carbon fork TREK that I LOVE and he never tried to upgrade me - just gave her an affordable facelift. At checkout, same treatment. He went over everything that was done and made sure I was happy. Rode for the first time this season and it was like a whole new bike! Love the friendliness and great customer service! Thanks for everything!

What a great place. We were in town for a few days from Iowa.. Had some problems with my wife's bike. Golden Bear worked us in the same day and we were out biking as planned. The service and the cost was great.
Always willing to help out and give great advice, sometimes even making small/quick repairs free of charge as long as I come back and see them, which I always do because they’re great!! They are friendly and remember me every time I walk in. Best bike shop in the area.
Great service awesome selection and the staff is oh so friendly and helpful! 🚴

We had a great experience and got an excellent bike!
