Re-Cycled Bicycle

I usually don't post, but if I saw these other reviews I would not of stopped in Re-Cycle. I don't know what happen 3 years ago that prompt the bad customer service but I didn't have those problems. My bicycle was hit by a car and the wheel and frame were bent and for a reasonable price he fixed it with in a week. I tried him again for a flat on my wife's bike and it was fixed it right away which made my wife happy. It a nice little bike shop and the bike accessories (not a wide variety) were not over price. Re-Cycle also has a friendly shop dog made my reviews from 4 to a 5 star. Nice little neighborhood bike shop that I would recommend.

Tyler, the long-bearded owner treated me with such disrespect that I am still left wondering what went wrong. My simple questions were met with open contempt and then he went on to judge me based on my appearance. I am not sure what he had to gain from insulting me and then following me into the parking lot to continue his tirade, but as anyone can see from the pattern of experiences in the other reviews on google that he has no intentions of changing the way he treats his customers. Be sure to read the reviews from google. Tyler has found an excuse to blame all 38 of the negative reviewers that gave his business 1 star. There is a reason that EVERY other bike shop in town gets a 4-star plus rating and Tyler's shop gets a 2.5. I recommend this shop for anyone that wishes to be insulted and treated like trash.

My experience in this store now makes sense after reading other reviews. I was the only customer in the store and I did not feel safe. I bought a saddle and an handlebar. He said he will install (I asume for free) while I was bargaining the price. I finish paying and reluctantly ask for help installing the saddle, which he did. I ask for help with handle bars as well but the store attendant says he'll hand me the tools and have me do it myself outside the store. He I called him out on his customer service and he goes ballistic, shouting at me to get out.

Had a shocking and frankly threatening experience here. I went in with my three year old daughter to find a wheel replacement. He showed me the one he had and as I was looking he noticed that my daughter was holding one of the plastic tire levers. He kind of made a slight annoyed noise and asked her to put it back. I assisted in asking her to keep them in the box. Understandable, he wants to keep things in good shape. After looking at the wheel and deciding that it was not the one I was looking for he put it away. I had a few other basic questions and as I was asking him he began violently throwing stuff that was on top of his counter underneath it. At this point I said ok to my daughter lets go. Up to this point I had been nothing but kind and generally inquisitive but clearly this was uncomfortable. He came around from his counter and said you need to get out of here now in more than just a rude tone, it was borderline aggressive. I said hey yeah we are going now. I picked up my daughter and as I was walking toward the door he followed behind me less than a foot away and started an overtly aggressive slew of comments about my daughter and the fact that I came in and didn't buy anything. It was not just mad it was aggressive and his body language was postured as if he was ready to use physical aggression. I told him "hey man we are leaving the store please back away and give us some space" . This absolutely set him off and his speed of walking and posture became even more threatening. He followed us out in to the parking lot continuing to yell at us. I, holding my daughter exclaimed to him that he needs to back away now. I was feeling so threatened that I had to tell him that I would not hesitate to use the wheel to defend myself and that I was ready to call the police. With this he made a step at me and I had to raise the wheel up to show him I was serious. He backed away and went back to the door of the shop and continued to yell from there as I got my daughter in the car. As I backed out and passed his shop to the street he was still yelling now threatening that he was going to call the police, also while taking pictures of my license plate. Just for reference I believe his name is Tyler, he has a long beard. This was absolutely bizarre and I left shaking obviously never to return. Please do not go to this store and if you know anyone that is thinking about going to a bike shop please inform them not to go here. There are plenty of other awesome bike shops in town and all of them are at the very least kind and helpful.

15 degree weather and I have a flat tire. I stopped by to use their outside tire pump, but it wasn't working. I went inside for help and he told me I had to pay $25 for labor to use the pump inside. I had to walk home in the snow while pulling my bike. I'll just walk past next time. Edit: After reading reviews I can confirm this was the same owner named Tyler in the other reviews.

I phoned to ask if they have a used bicycle to fit my height. The person said he was Tyler; how much was I looking to spend. I replied, "As little as possible," a colloquial kind of answer meaning that I didn't want a high priced used bicycle. He said, "We don't have anything for you then." And hung up.I thought it was some kind of mistake, so I phoned back, because I'm realistic & know what used bicycles go for. I'd just answered his question. He'd blocked my phone number!Really too bad; because I'd probably have bought a bicycle from them, if they had one that was the right size & a decent price.

"One-wording" extraordinare! I'd never buy a bike from this guy. I'm in his shop looking at his offerings for my college aged kids - some great bikes - while at the same time asking questions. Put out, he pretty much says, "Hey are you gonna buy a bike today, or what?" Don't need to buy from an uninterested shop employee or owner. I certainly hope he wasn't the latter.

The guy with the beard is a complete Jerk. I went in looking for a children's tag a long. I asked if they had them, "no." was his abrupt response. They had an awesome used road bike I would have bought, but Tyler could not have been more rude. I felt like asking if I offended him in someway.I tried to engage him about the bike, but the rudeness continued. I thought the rude bike shop mechanic was just a stereotype. It is alive and well on south street.Really sad, they stock awesome bikes.

I got kicked out of Re-Cycled Bicycle because I was looking at bike bags and tools, and not there to buy a bike, per the owner's question. I was then told that I was "wasting his air conditioning and water" (which I asked politely about when I walked in) and that he "heard Monkey Wrench and Cycle Works love it when people come in to waste time."The owner was very rude. When I tried to reply that I was looking at his merchandise, he continually interrupted me and told me to leave. I then said "Ok" and left. I'm truly shocked.I would suggest you support great local bike shops like Monkey Wrench Cycles and Cycle Works. I have never been treated anything but amazing in those businesses.
