Brought my bike in for a repair that may have needed new parts, but they did their best to "fix" the old parts and they work good as new. Great job!
When I arrived, the sales staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. Before the test drive they made sure the trike was set up for my body’s dimensions, and that I was completely comfortable inside the cockpit. What happened next shocked me. They told me to take it for a spin wherever I like for as long as I like, they even suggested some local trails and routes. “Just have it back before the store closes at 8PM,” they told me.
informative, fast and friendly service. Great for anyone who rides recumbents.
Let me start off by saying that I rarely, if ever write reviews.
I want to thank everyone at hostel shoppe for your amazing help in getting me set up with the perfect trike. I was a long time bike rider who had a bad spine injury in 2012. I had bars put in my spine & was told my biking days were over. Through depression & lots of cookies I learned about trikes. My first trike was a mistake for me because I'm just under 5'2" tall. I loved riding but would get upper knee pain after about 10 miles. I gave up on it. I learned of hostel shoppe & contacted them to ask if there would be a way to solve this issue. They took a lot of time & thought to put me in a great trike with 145mm cranks, & a short boom so I could love riding. Everyone there is very professional, helpful, & nice. I'm riding now with no knee pain, no struggle. Thank you Hostel Shoppe!!
The store itself has a very wide selection of recumbents and accessories. You would be hard pressed to find such a selection anywhere else. There is a reason that the Hostel Shoppe is mentioned on so many recumbent blogs, review sites, and rider forums. I would strongly encourage you to see for yourself.
Great place to get your winter and summer clothing and equipment. I have been going here for 35 years
The test drive went very well despite a few minor technical issues. The mechanics were able to make the necessary adjustments, and allowed me to take the trike for a second and third test drive to ensure that everything was to my satisfaction before I finally took it home. Through it all, the sales staff and mechanics were extremely helpful and friendly. They really went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with my new purchase. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a friendlier store staff during any other purchase I have made, ever.
I am a recumbent rider from Southeastern Wisconsin. I’ve been riding recumbents almost exclusively for 10 years now. Recently, I found myself in the market to upgrade my ride, and after extensive research I decided I wanted to try a Catrike 700. Searching the local bike shops I found the only place that carried such an extreme model was the Hostel Shoppe 170 miles away. On a whim, I called them up to see if it was really in stock, and then made the 2.5 hour drive north to test drive it for myself.
One thing is for sure. If I ever find myself in the market for another recumbent or even some recumbent parts, I know where I’m going.
