David’s World Cycle

I stopped in to David’s World Cycle last week for the first time, and what a pleasantly different experience compared to that other bike shops in the area. It’s obvious the staff routinely helps riders from all experience levels.
They have a great variety of bikes, helmets, seats, apparel, and accessories. They also perform maintenance in the back of the shop, you can tuneup your bike at a reasonable prices.

I was visiting and rented a bike for 2 hours. And the service is amazing. The sales is very knowledgable and helped me set up everything on the rental. I had my wallet and cell phone with me and I did not have a bag with me — the staff opened a bike bag and helped me put everything in the bag, ensuring it fits and can stay on the bike. Amazing. Thank you for making my experience great.
If you are buying bikes– this place has a large selection of Trek bikes.

Rented bikes here when we were visiting Lake Mary. The staff was very helpful, and the Trek bikes we rented were first rate. The shop is right on the Seminole-​Wekivia trail, which is a beautiful ride. We would definitely come back to this shop in the future.

I watched this guy lie right to my wife’s face just to sell her a new bike. guess they didn’t know I was a tech for MI race team!

I purchased two road bikes for my wife and I here, as well as many accessories. The staff is extremely polite and even know me by my first name when I come in the door. They definitely make you feel comfortable with asking questions. They installed pedals and cleats onto my wife’s shoes, at no charge, even though we didn’t buy the shoes at that location. When you buy a bike from them, they will always give free brake and chain adjustments. Some of their stuff is a little pricey (such as their clothing), at times.
There is that ONE person that works there that has been a bit overbearing at times, however my last experience with her was not as bad, since I had questions regarding one component and comparisions. She was extremely helpful when we were choosing our heart rate monitors and the comparison between them.
I would always come back to DWC, even when I leave the area. Their service is top notch and will be my bike shop.

Pumps
locks
and
bikes
Bicycle pumps are strange creatures, it seems like a pretty simple concept but for whatever reason there are some horrible and very difficult to use pumps out there. Of course cheap pumps cut costs and can be expected to be less than ideal but I’ve had some expensive pumps from good companies that still sucked.
I’ve come to appreciate Blackburn pumps and products and when I needed a pump down here in Fl looked for a bike shop that sold Blackburn products. I ended up a Dave’s but found out that they no longer carried Blackburn stuff. Damn!
However the folks there were very friendly and talked me into trying one of their Bontrager pumps. Told me that this is what they prefer and let me actually try it on one of their bikes. I could immediately see the advantages and ease of use and was sold. I ended buying the pump, a good lock and my wife bought some shorts and other stuff.
Of course Dave’s also has a nice selection of bikes, including mountain, comfort, kids and high level road bikes. I’m use to the gigantic bike shops in the northeast so the store did seem a bit on the small side but they do manage to jam quite a few bikes into a relatively small area.
You can buy bikes anywhere, hell you can even get them on line. But service and knowledge is a bit more difficult to locate. At Dave’s I wasn’t pressured or hurried, they patiently answered all my stupid questions and then let me make my own decisions. Definitely a cool bike shop that I will be visiting again.
