Hilarious review of Shaw’s Cycles in Santa Clara

Administrator — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:41:41 +0000

I have a connection going back to 1996 with Shaw’s Cycles in Santa Clara, CA. I was living in San Jose and thought I knew a little bit about bikes. Boy was I wrong. Terry Shaw straightened me out with hours of banter on racing, riding, fit, shoes, wheels, parts, history, etc. He is the man. So, here is a hilarious review I found on Yelp about Shaw’s:

If you spent more than $2000 on your bike, you can come here. If not, I HIGHLY suggest you go somewhere else. While being the closest bike shop for Santa Clara University students to access, its the furthest from being friendly towards customers of any kind.

I came in here back in the Winter of 2009 because my bike needed some tire caps. Unfortunately, not having a bike that cost a ton did not fly well with whoever was there at the time. After asking if his store carried tire caps, the owner responded by telling me first, that he did not care for bikes of my type, and second, that he could offer me tire caps for free, both of which I found an insult. Yes, I’m not a hardcore bike enthusiast like this man, but I think if you are to run a business, you need to treat your customers like you may want them to come back or provide as a suggestion to other potential customers.

Unfortunately on my end, I will not do that. I think whoever was in there could have done better. But quite honestly, if you want better service for a bike, and want to be treated better as a customer, you best drive a bit further up El Camino Real and visit Calmar’s or The Off Ramp. You’ll thank me for it.

I can barely contain the laughter!!! Tire caps? This has to be a joke! Here is the link for your own perusal.
