How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

Generally I like Helen's but a little while ago I had dropped my bike for some basic service. I forget what exactly, I think truing a wheel or something minor. Anyway, they oiled my freshly waxed chain. It cost me a couple hours to degrease and rewax the drivetrain. A professional shop should be able to recognize when a chain is waxed on an expensive road bike. Still a great shop but I will keep on eye on that if I use the service center in the future.

What do you like about our products and services?

The staff were friendly. I waited at the nearby Colorado Center while the tuneup was performed. It took less than two hours. The staff waited while I test-rides the bike and he patiently received my concerns and made further gear adjustments until I was satisfied. Thank you for the great job!

I rented bikes from Helen Cycling for the weekend and had a fantastic experience from start to finish.
The bikes were in excellent condition, perfectly maintained, and clearly set up with care and attention to detail.

A special shout-out to Adam, whose service was truly outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was adjusted exactly to my needs.

What do you like about our products and services?

I brought my bike in for a tune up. I was contacted that I needed a new chain and how much it would cost. My bike looked brand new when I picked it up and it rides great. The service was great and the time frame was reasonable.
