Cyclepath

I’ve seen a lot of negative things about Cyclepath, and sometimes it seemed to me like some of the guys are somewhat sour faced, but last year I’ve learned that appearances can be deceiving.
I’ve been going to the same LBS for a while (will leave it anonymous, so not to bad mouth someone else in this review), and the last few visits there disappointed me enough, to try a new place. Because I’ve been to Cyclepath before, I’ve decided to give them another shot, and it was the best decision I’ve made.
Sam is a very personable, very passionate and caring individual, and his team is handpicked, with just the right people.
At my previous LBS, I just paid for an expensive tune up, just to have my bike returned to me with shifting issues and a flat tire. At Cyclepath, they solved my shifting problem in under 30 seconds, and charged me nothing for it.
Later on, Sam has helped me with foot pain issues, switching me to the right pedals and shoes, without breaking the bank.
I’m now a loyal client, and will be retuning soon for a full 3D fit — I’m sure it would be worth my while.

I bought a bike FROM MY NEIGHBOUR for my 8 YEAR OLD. I took it Cyclepath Woodbridge for a tune up. The owner quoted me a service charge of $ 50.00. For whatever reason he decided to do a police check on this bike which was a gift for my 8 year old. It turns out the bike was stolen! Of course I had no clue as I bought it from my neighbour. So what does the owner of this shop decided to do? He serviced the bike anyway, collected my $ 50 THEN called the police. I was called to the police station to return the bike and was forced to make a statement against my neighbour who was subsequently arrested. I of course was exonerated. Why on earth this shopkeeper did not inform me of this issue prior to calling the police so I could address this issue with my neighbour I have no idea? Why he decided he needed my $ 50 so badly that he serviced the bike THEN called the police I also have no clue? Can you imagine buying a car — not knowing it was stolen — taking it to Canadian Tire for a transmission replacement — spending $ 2000 — then Canadian Tire calls the police??? It’s just wrong. I had previously spent over $ 2000 at his shop on bicycles. Since then I have spent well over $ 10,000 on bikes, parts and accessories… NOT with this guy or his company.

Sam and the staff at this cyclepath location were very helpful when I was looking for a high end road bike. He only stocks what he thinks are the best and reasonably priced items.
I mentioned that I was doing the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer and Sam immediately began giving me tips on how to stay cool, dry, fed and full of energy. The store is mainly Giant bikes but he has trek and a few other brands in stock.
The only gripe I have about this location are the hours. I work downtown and live in Mississauga and can never make it to his store before closing (around 8pm). Extended hours would be perfect!
