What do you like about our products and services?

Very customer oriented: they give good advices and are always ready to help when a customer has a bike problem. Even during the time of the pandemic when they were super busy and overwhelmed, they tried their best to satisfy their customers. Their patience and commitment during that time were remarkable.

What could we do to improve?

I’ve found the prices to be on the higher side and can’t find lower cost items easily (such as bike helmets).

What could we do to improve?

The overall service is very good. The reason I don't give it a 10 is that the man at the check in counter lacks a friendly and welcoming attitude.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

I had purchased a new bike and lock and was told if I ue my apple card my lock will be non-returnable...
"huh"? you dictate return policies on the transmission of my credit info?
"yea...it randomizes your account number so we can't make returns"...uh...ok. Oh yea and bikes are non-returnable.
"WHAT? but this is a gift unseen for my son for Xmas:..what if it doesn't fit???"
"you can exchange"...
"oh good, that will work" .
..."but only for 7 days"
"WHAT???XMAS is 24 days away, do you have a holiday exception???"
no. no exceptions.
Can you cancel my $800 order?
Yes.
Canceled.

I've been going to Helen's for years, but realized that I have only been getting accessories and repairs, never bought a bike so never knew about the policy.
Thinking I was being unreasonable, I Googled "typical return policies for bike purchases" and discovered REI - returns and exchanges for any reason (other than normal wear and outgrowing) for a year. No questions asked. Went there the same day, spent $900, and met the repair guys. Nice crew. They have earned my business and I have three kids, seven bikes and now a new retailer. Honest opinion, only because you asked.

What do you like about our products and services?

Service was very helpful. I needed to size the right bike for my daughters. I was way off and glad I spoke to the rep. They installed new kick stand, bells and water bottle holder in a flash. Very friendly

What do you like about our products and services?

Well, I wish you all would have taken care of your regular customers during the last year.
Been going to Helens for 15 years.
Spent lots of money. I needed a tube for my bike
Line was long. The guy was not nice. Wish the guy was nicer. In fact he’s never nice.
Have not been back.

It was a really good experience. The people there were very helpful and didn’t make me feel dumb for asking a lot of questions about different bikes, shoes, and helmet. I would definitely come back abs shop here again.

What do you like about our products and services?

I was extremely pleased with the way Brady helped me in choosing my bike: very knowledgeable and never tried to oversell me. Great selection of bikes and accessories in stock. A little bit disappointed with the setup of the bike: when at home I realized the front derailleur is rubbing against the chain.

What do you like about our products and services?

I liked the selection of bikes. Good service, nice salesperson, but he wasn’t super forthcoming with information about the specifics of each kind of bike. He was good, but could have been more proactive in his salesmanship and in providing information.

What do you like about our products and services?

Service was great. Staff was very patient and took the time search for the requested parts well into their lunch break.

I would definitely recommend Helens Cycles to friends and family.
