I brought my older bicycle, (that has a lot of miles and associated abuse), in for a tune up. My bike received all the necessary new parts and adjustments needed to provide many more years of enjoyment. Curtis and others were very helpful, informative and friendly. I highly recommend the shop for your bicycling needs!

I stopped into Goldfinch Cyclery for the first time today. First off I was shocked that I was not bike shamed as I have felt when I have gone into other local bike stores. Instead I was greeted with encouraging words that makes me want to continue on my biking riding quests with their positive attitude towards getting out to ride. I like their attitude of it doesnt matter what kind of bike Im ridding just as long as Im having fun doing it. I will be back to Goldfinch Cyclery in the future as I love the bicycling vibes I picked up from just being in the store looking around.

These guys are AWESOME! Had a flat tire on a ride and didnt realize it until 6:02pm. Tried calling Goldfinch (who closes at 6pm). They not only answered but said COME ON BY and well get you back up and running! GREAT customer service, super sweet, caring gentlemen that helped this lady when her hubby accidently left the valve open on her tire and she created a hole in the tube by riding on it a short distance 🤦‍♀️ Will DEF be giving them my service from now on and will tell everyone I know to do the same! THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!

Just bought a bike from this place and they are so helpful and friendly! They are so knowledgeable about fitment, and found me the perfect bike! I 100% recommended taking your bike here for service, or buying any bike or components from this place

Between the genuine, friendly staff, convenient hours, great service and attention to precaution during COVID, Goldfinch has easily become my favorite bike shop in the Cedar Rapids area. You never feel like a bother whether youre coming in for for service or browsing for an accessory. To top it off, their location right in the heart of Newbo is also a great plus. Definitely recommend.

My bike rides better than new. Brought it in for a tune up this July; I was warned that they had a lot of bikes in right now and it may take 20 odd days for me to get it back. I was okay with that, but they got it back to me in under two weeks.Thaddeus and Lillian (hope I got your names right!) were remarkably pleasant and attentive to what I needed done on my bike. Now its shifting great and the brakes are super responsive. I will be bringing my Giant here from now on whenever I need a tune up!

I arrived for a repair an hour before the store was scheduled to open. As I was putting the bike back in my van, another person showed up with a bike as well. I mentioned that the store didnt open for another hour, and he said, Well actually I am an owner. How can I help? He proceeded to take my bike into the store, perform the repair in under 20 minutes, return the bike to me and process my payment. I was on my way within 25 minutes of arriving, with you at a half an hour before the store was meant to open. This is indicative of the kind of service they provide. Truly awesome!

Holy Moly is Goldfinch Good! Looking at bikes the salesperson was very attentive and even provided delicious grapefruit seltzer water which made our hot outdoor socially distanced shopping sesh extremely cool. They even threw in a water bottle on the house. I love this place now.

Goldfinch Cyclery has such a great staff! They are very helpful and friendly. My husband and I began riding and made us feel comfortable even when we werent the most experienced riders. Now we ride all the time and still get the same great service. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

The guys here are great. Ive bought most of my bike parts from them, and a new bike. They were the only shop in town that cared what I wanted in a bike, everyone else seemed to be more interested in moving a bike off their showroom floor. Andy took the time to help me customize my bike because what I wanted didnt exist direct from any manufacturer. Ill be going back to them as long as Im in the Cedar Rapids area.

Review №29

This is a top notch store, one thing I love about this place is if they don’t have exactly what you like they will give you other options of similar products or see if they can order it for you. I have always had a wonderful experience in this shop. All the employees are friendly and know what they are talking about. Great place to find knowledgeable personnel about anything cycling related.

Check this place out! Its rare to find people who truly love their jobs. But when you do theyre always the greatest people to give your business to. And the guys at Goldfinch Cyclery LOVE their jobs. They treat their customers with respect and are expert at their craft.

My wife and got our bikes from here. Drove up from Iowa City as advised by some our friends. They assisted both of us through the whole process and made recommends based on what our needs were. Didnt feel they like tried to up-sale us. Everything we got for our bikes was what we wanted and when we expressed interest in an item they just showed us options and left the decision to us. Couldnt be more happy with our visit and our purchases. Will definitely be back!

Great service and pricing. I brought them a late 70s Raleigh to tune up and tires, but changed my mind a day later and bought a more modern wheelset. They had a great price and there was no reason not to go through them for the parts.

I bought a Surly Cross-check from these guys this summer and it was a great experience. They were very patient as I asked questions about various bikes, test road a few and showed me comparable bikes that they did not have in the shop, but could easily special order. When I bought my Cross-check they were able to convert it from bar-end shifters to the brifters I wanted. Ive also taken my wifes Trek in for service, and they did an excellent job. I will not go to any other shop in town.

I bought a $15 Spalding Response at a garage sale several years ago. I brought it into the guys at Goldfinch Cyclery. They were great to work with, did an amazing job, and now I cant ride my bike enough. My bike rides, looks and feels like a million dollars. I would definitely recommend this shop!

I took my Cinelli in for an adjustment. Wow these guys are awesome! Ive never been treated with such respect anywhere! I had conversations with these guys for the love of the sport, like I was a long lost friend. They even offered to show me how to adjust my rear deraileur next time I switch out my wheels.I will continue to do business with Goldfinch Cyclery. And will do my cycling purchases here as well. They really know what theyre doing and what they are selling. Better than the crooks at Northtowne!!

I stopped to check out the new bike shop in town and walked out a very satisfied customer. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was at home. Andy and Thad were very helpful and knowledgable. The whole experience was like hanging out with your buddies in the garage talking bikes. I never felt pressured and I felt like my needs as a customer were important to them. I picked myself up a new Surley Pugsley along with some add-ons. They not only held the bike back for me but they said they would open up New Years Day so I could come back and test ride it before buying. Do yourself a favor and get to know these guys if you dont already. Support a local business that has the feel of a true neighborhood shop. We need more businesses like this in CR. Great job guys! Thanks again.

Ordered a bike that they didn’t keep in stock. When the bike came in and was ready for pickup they called me. By the time I got down there (the same day) they sold it and told me I’d have to wait for a reordered one. I haven’t been in that shop since.
