These people know their shoes! Family owned business that really cares. They have all kinds of shoes from your average runner to specialty shoes. They also offer a wide variety of running accessories. I came to them after I just started jogging and needed a more supportive shoe. I talked to someone who actually does shoe reviews for a national magazine and they had a few different recommendations for me. I was able to find one that fit my budget. I am very happy with my purchase and this is the ONLY place anyone should go for their running needs.

After being out ot the saddle for 10 years, I made a list of all the bike stores in town and set out on a Trek (hahah...Trek?...no?...sigh) to find a new bike. I really did visit every one (much to my wife's tested patience) and not one of them matched Spin City for dedicated customer service. Eric and Mark really care about their customers and go that extra mile to ensure that you're happy in and out of the shop. Multiple store visits with patient and friendly staff, follow-up calls and emails all made me enjoy my experience more than any I've had in retail...ever. I've never felt compelled to write a review about any shopping experience, but this store deserves your custom. I've found my local bike shop and will be a loyal customer as long as these guys are in charge. Even though they have a smaller store and smaller range of bikes and accessories than some stores Spin City is well worth your visit and your custom.
Pros: Customer Service. Advice. Quality products.
Cons: Smaller range of bikes - BUT - a willingness to get you what you need.

This was my second visit to Knife Sharpest and I will definitely go back the next time I need anything sharpened. I brought in kitchen knives and garden shears and they were able to do it while I waited.
Pros: great service, good work
Cons: none really

There are few companies that understand the value of a happy customer. BSS not only gets it, but they truly set the standard for it.
Every person there from the minute that you walk into the door until you are loaded up and ready to go ensures that they have met your expectations and you leave with a smile. They truly share your joy in the sport of cycling.
It doesn't matter if it's your first road bike or a high end time trial or mountain bike, they make sure it's working right and keeps you pedaling and they do it fast.
New to the sport, think its time for an upgrade, or you think that no garage can have too many bikes check these guys out. They have something for everyone.
I'm on my 10th BSS bike for my family and I wouldn't consider buying another one anywhere else.
Pros: 3 Great Products - The Staff, The Service, The Bikes!
Cons: I'll keep looking. I have not found anything yet

Ozone Bike Department is a cool place next to Thundercloud subs where we bought my girlfriend her first "expensive" bike. They have a great selection and their prices are about average for a bike store. Thankfully, the staff in the store do not work on commission so they have no real incentive to make you buy crap you don't need. We got a great deal on a great bike for my girlfriend. We spent under $500 for a bike, a helmet, and a great buying experience. Lastly, they carry some very vintage looking bikes that I see tons of people around Austin riding. Check them out for any of your biking needs.

I've read the previous reviews and I have to write about my experience at Red's. I went there expecting a rude posse of Bubbas after reading the previous reviews here.
Reds is a true Austin 'joint' - the type that is disappearing here. It reminds me a bit of Capital Saddlery, if you've been there.
Some of the guys there are Bubba, to be sure. But I found them very helpful and we had a good round of shooting. I got into a good conversation with one of the staff about the shelf life of bullets. He pulled me aside and showed me all kinds of bullets from years ago, some that he had shot himself. He even offered to give me an antique bullet.
So I'd actually recommend Red's. The indoor range is a little hot, but hey, its July in Texas.
Pros: Run by Bubbas

This is the most economic tune up with the best features. Several local bike shops charge upwards of 70 dollars and don’t give your bike the same care and attention. 50 dollars covers lubing chain, all bearings, break cables, truing wheels, front and rear derailleur adjustments, break adjustments, bike and derailleur cleaning, and I’m pretty sure if any parts need to be replaced the labor is covered in the tune up unless it is a major repair. I score it high for customer satisfaction on price and labor.

I have been enjoying Hippie Hollow for 25 years. And every visit I meet new friends from all over the world. This park truly has an international reputation of being a uniquely beautiful and friendly place to enjoy nude sunbathing and swimming. You can find it easily by searching the web. There are great websites dedicated to this Texas attraction. Patrons come in all shapes and sizes, so you will fit right in. Everyone is like family, and everyone is welcome.
Pros: atmosphere, other nudists, sun bathing/ swimming
Cons: sharp rocks, not family friendly
