John and Brenda run a top notch operation here at Lakes Region Cyclery. I was having trouble with a tubeless rim and tire that would not sit on its bead, and a quick call and stop at the shop got me back on the road quickly!

I thought i would prefer do business with him because of his helpful attitude. When I arrived at his shop I thought that because he was working out of his house he might not have a very diverse range of tools or skills. I have never been more wrong in my life! John is a consummate master machinist, and has far more capabilities and skills than he would ever need to repair any bicycle. He is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. As far as the bicycle goes, he performed exceedingly excellent work at a reasonable price. If I was a “local” I wouldn’t bring my bicycle...
