Wouldn't recommend. 7/27/2009

The employees charged me twice the amount that they had originally quoted. They were not helpful or friendly. I went here because I had a great experience at their old location on Hennepin, but after my last visit I would not go back or recommend this shop to a friend. Pros: Convenient location Cons: Expensive, poor customer service. more

Great Bike Shop 11/12/2005

This shop has always got someone ready to help me when I walk in. Their prices are reasonable, they have fast repair, and they will always explain things if I ask. more

These guys are the best! 12/23/2002

I've been taking my rides to The Alt for years. Early on, when my bike wasn't very respectable, they still treated it with care, consistent 24 hour turnaround and explained everything they repaired (or why they did not). My bike is much more decent now, but the same high caliber attention remains. They always tell me up front what they are going to look at, let me know if something needs replacement (or not) and they ALWAYS know their equipment! I've bought helmets, bike racks, shoes and all sorts of accessories there, too. I love this shop, I love the attention my bike gets and I love the courtesy I receive. The Alt will always be My Shop!! Pros: Air pump out front!, Great hours, 24 hr / most repairs Cons: Street parking more
