It's a good shop. The owner has taken time to teach me things, so that's been helpful. The only real gripe I have is that I bought a used bike from them for $325 and was told it was "about 8 or 9 years old". Later, when I found out Bike Blue Book existed, I found out the bike was actually 14 years old and it's value is about $150.

I will take by bikes here anytime I have problems or needs and would recommend...

It's great to see a business consistently provide great customer service and friendly sales from the same building for 23 years. That's Rasmussen Bike Shop. John loves what he does and loves sharing his knowledge of bikes and everything involved with an active biking lifestyle. Can't say enough about our purchase experience. It was easy to see his passion for selling what best suits the customer, not what makes the most profitable sale for him. John adjusted our bikes to a perfect fit and explained how to get the most out of our new equipment. If you are looking for a new bike, a tune-up, accessories, or directions to the best trails, be sure to stop in and...
