Community Cycling Ctr

Really?. Not sure what is going on there. Is it really a COMMUNITY center? I grew up in the community and some kid treated me like I was was from "the 'couv".. I went there to buy a bike that was outside. Apparently "outside" bikes are only for sale without a test ride. Portland is the most bike savvy town in the country..do you know anyone who would ride a bike without testing it here? Liability is the excuse. The Comm Center will not sell you a bike that they recieved in donation and let you test ride it. REALLY? I'm thinking the City Bike Community might be able to help me out.…

I will definitely give them my business cuz they also have great programs for low-income kids helping them get bikes. Plus they recycle a ton. Oh, and there's a great volunteer program. And they have clases. Totally cool org ( they ran the Yellow Bikes program).…

Spotty. Wow, I have been here a few times in the past years and "spotty" would be best to describe the temper and skill of the Employees who work here. This last time I was belittled for asking questions and not knowing the answer to them. Other times I have felt welcome and appreciated, but mostly this is simply not the case.

Go somewhere else (which has been around for longer) and thus has more consistent skill and professionalism.…
