Customer Testimonials

  • Thomas W.

    I took my bike to Sunshine Cycles recently for several issues that another bike shop could never fix. The folks at Sunshine Cycles were great. They took the time to answer all my questions and called me before doing any major repairs. My bike is running better than new now, and all of the issues that I was having with the bike are fixed. Sunshine will be my bike shop from now on!

    I gave Sunshine Cycles a five star rating because they earned it. This is a superb bike shop. I’ve been riding for 40 years and I have dealt with many bike shops. Sunshine Cycles easily ranks with the best of them.

    Wonderful staff. The owner is totally awesome and they take time to walk you through things. We are biking novices and there was no judgement or condescending answers to our naive questions. They seemed happy to help novices like us embrace a sport they love. We bought seven bikes from them and will be back for our future needs.

    I'd like to add another 5 star rating to this local company. SO nice and patient, helped me fix up an old bike so I can ride with my son. Definitely go see them if you're in need if help with your current bike, or if you are looking to purchase a new one.

    Wow! Great advice and guidance on my new mountain bike! Jimmy took the time to tell me all the details of the bike and trails around here and he taught me several new life hacks regarding biking. Great stuff! Well worth it! Definitely should get a bike here versus big box store!

    I've never received anything but the best customer service and advice here. Bought a bike from them last year, a bike rack a couple months later, and just replaced my helmet. They're fantastic, knowledgable and incredibly nice people.

  • Mark L.

    Super friendly and helpful. We just bought shoes, not bikes, but they were still very interested in helping. Appreciated that they did not try to upsell us on equipment that was more than we needed. Highly recommend.

    Both Jimmy, the owner, and staff like Howie are knowledgeable, friendly, eager to answer your questions, courteous and engaging. No high-pressure sales tactics here. Customer service is excellent.

    Howie and co are great. Laid back guys that are happy to answer all questions. I've bought 3 bikes from them. They tell you what would be best for you without trying to "upsell."

  • Dana K.

    Rebuilt my OLD custom bike vs forcing me to buy a new bike. I'm sentimentally attached to my current bike. Rides like new!
