Wonderful customer service. Reed fitted me on my bike and was kind of enough to help install my bike rack on my car (that I purchased at REI and was still in the box!). I got great deals on both my bike, wetsuit and clothes. At the time they were clearing out their 2007 inventory-- so I got great deals from 25% off my bike to 50% off my clothes. After checking out both REI and Greggs, would go back to Speedy Reedy hands down. Great shopping experience for 1st timer going into the triathlon world.

Having moved from the tri-mecca of Southern California to the Seattle area, and having taken off a couple years off from Triathlon - I decided I needed a new tri-bike to start off my season. My last attempt to purchase a tri-bike from a LBS (Nytro) was a very negative experience This drove me to purchase my last bike on-line... After scouring the web, reviewing specs and reviews of various tri-bikes I decided to give the LBS of the area another try. I visited several of them in the area. After finding positive reviews on such sites as slowtwitch.com I found Speed Reedy. I dropped in on a very busy Saturday afternoon, and was quickly given service by Reed who was able to answer and confirm some questions about the tri-bikes that I was interested in. I was also very impressed with there wide selection of triathlon accessories. All in all, after 3 more additional visits I ended up purchasing and getting fitted to a new Cervelo P2C, I was very impressed by both Brook and Reeds customer service, friendliness, pricing, and triathlon knowledge. I would highly recommend this store to anyone.

I went into Speedy Reedy looking for a wetsuit for open water swimming. What I found in this cute little Burk-Gilman trail shop was the husband and wife team who own the shop, and we super knowledgeably and friendly and really helpful as i tried to wade my way through the variety of wetsuit options. This is the sort of place where you get the feeling that the owners (who are also the shop keepers) actually do the activitiies that they sell gear for, and as a result actually have some really good insights. I would strongly suggest this shop for anybody looking for triatholon equipment or advice.

About 4 years ago my wife got me involved in triathlon. When you first get started in triathlon racing it can be a huge expenditure. (The right bike, the right wet suit, the right accessories, etc.) While looking for the "right" gear we stumbled onto Speedy Reedy Triathlon Shop on Northlake. At the time they were holding spinning classes during the winter months. During the spinning classes that winter and the years that followed we became friends with Reed and Brooke Silers (owners). Some might say that a personal friend is not the best choice to write a review. I think that your friends know you best. So here it goes: It has been my experience that that there is a bit of an elitist attitude that pervades triathlon and cycling in the Seattle area. It is very intimidating for people that are new to the sport. Many want to be able to ask questions without being made to feel stupid. Speedy Reedy is that kind of place. The staff at Speedy Reedy are all triathletes of various levels of experience. Reed and Brooke encourage their employees to participate in the sport that their business is focused on not only for the camaraderie but also for the experiences they can share with their customers. There are no Hawaii qualifiers here, yet. But if that's your goal they know who to direct you to. Yes, the bike shop isn't as big as Greg's. Yes, occasionally you might find things cheaper at Performance. But when you've been out biking in the famous cold Seattle rain and you need a place to warm up there's a warm bench inside to sit on, a very lovable shop dog (Rosie) to nuzzle up to, and some wonderful triathlon enthusiasts to share experiences with.
