Customer Testimonials
I came in for tires and the mechanic was super knowledgeable and very helpful in not only what I came in for but also in my other questions related to customizing my bike.
I’ll definitely return in the future for purchases and for work to be done on my bike
thanks
Good service and fair pricing. Have shopped this store for many years and never been disappointed.
Great place with good service
We love Golden Bear. We buy all of out bikes from there. They are very friendly and helpful. We also have our bikes serviced there too
we were in the store working with Jimmy asking all of our questions in prepping to get new bikes. He was very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. He pulled down several bikes to show us elements and the differences...very helpful!! We then came back a few days later to purchase 2 new bikes and Ein was helping us. We shared with him about how helpful Jimmy was.
Picked up our bikes on Friday and have loved them so far....been out on saturday and sunday in front of the snow tomorrow.
Caroline(?) did an amazing job of cleaning and servicing my bike and going through it with me when I picked it up. As long as the service is this outstanding, I will continue to come to Golden Bear for my bike maintenance.
It was the first time my son and I went to your shop for his bike’s repair. As soon as we walked in, Jimmy was already helping us and tried to fix it right there and then. We were impressed. Thanks!
I've only been in the shop a couple times because I just recently discovered it and I don't live in Elkhart. Both times I have gone in, I was immediately welcomed and the salesmen were very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a nice selection of bicycles and accessories. The salesmen have a lot of experience as riders and have a ton of insight and great advice to help anyone find the perfect bike or upgrade.
Prices a bit steep, too bad regulars aren’t identified....
I was greeted from the moment I walked in the door.
Extremely nice gentleman asked how he could help. I was there to get a tire repair. A different young man helped me pay and check out an hour later. Every single person I came in contact with was friendly and helpful and the service was great!
I always enjoy any trip to Golden Bear. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions, no matter how basic. The perfect neighborhood bike shop.
Staff is always friendly and helpful
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. I appreciate all their help !
Personable. Neighbor shop
Had a problem with my electric bike that was out of warranty. They worked extensively to track down a weird electrical issue that was finally determined to be the battery. The shop worked with Bosch to get the battery replaced - all free of charge to me. Many Thanks!
Friendly staff. Good quality products.
Jimmy is awesome! Super helpful!
I really appreciate the people that I've dealt with. They have been very helpful and attentive.
I observed quality products in your store. I have purchased accessories from you previously and they performed well. I have yet to try out my new sunglasses.
We came in to surprise our daughter on her fourth birthday with her own pedal bike. They had the perfect bike in stock and on the floor ready to go. Ian gave her some pointers and she was literally riding out the door. I recommend this shop completely and will be back when it is time to buy my next bike.
Golden Bear Bikes delivers professional and competent service at a reasonable price.

Personal and professional service.
I recently brought my mtn bike in for a tune up, and Carolyn helped me. She was very courteous and helpful, explained in detail what GB would do, and answered all my questions. And the tune up was finished in a timely manner, I was informed that my tires were fine, just out of air. The job was done within the estimated cost.
Just so's you'll know, the GB staff have always been polite and helpful when I've come in over the years with a problem.
I’ve bought 4 bikes from this company. Knowledgeable, friendly, and quality products and service!

Friendly and willing to work with you
