Needed a minor brake adjustment and was told that the entire bake needs to be taken a part to center the front disk brake. The repair was to take over an hour. Up the street they needed 5 minutes for the job and charged nothing!!! Do not waste your time and money in this place- they are unreliable and overall a horrific business . ...read more

Out of the Mouth of Our 8 Year Old Son, "Frenchie is the best bike teacher ever!!" I rarely take the time to write on-line reviews. However, I wanted to share our experience with Frenchie's and, in particular with Frenchie. After reading the other reviews, there was one comment I felt most deserved a response. To the reviewer who recommended that parents not put their kids in contact with Frenchie, I would suggest that is a nasty and unfounded remark! Frenchie taught our 8 year old son to ride a bike this weekend in a supportive and encouraging way! He was as excited as our child when he took off on the bike for the first time. I am a former Assistant State Attorney and my husband a police Lieutenant. I consider us very good judge's of character. While Frenchie is a straight-forward, tell is like it is, man he was wonderful with our son (who can't wait to go back). My husband and I had both attempted to teach our son to ride. After months of unsuccessful efforts, tears and falls, we went to Frenchies to buy a tool to assist us. Instead, Frenchie suggested that we let him teach our son. To our amazement he did and quickly!!! We also bought 2 bikes from the store. My husband is a triathlete and has bought very top end bikes. The bikes we bought from Frenchie were purely for recreation but we found the prices to be reasonable. I would highly reccommend this shop and Frenchie. The talking parrots were fun too. . ...read more
