Ron and the crew are knowledgeable, reasonably priced and they dont waste my money fixing junk that should be pitched

The owner and all the workers are extremely helpful and wonderful. They are knowledgeable and always happy to help. If you buy anything there for your bike they will help you learn and help put things on. I just got clip in shoes and pedals and they put them on and helped me practice getting in and out on a bike trainer!Always happy to spend my money there!

I brought my bike in for a tune up and had a great experience. They looked at my bike with me and asked a lot of questions about what specific issues i had. They gave an estimate before starting on it, then texted me while working on it to check in about what brakes I wanted to replace my brake pads. Good communication and great work on the bike! I have also bought supplies there at other times, and they are always very helpful and friendly.

Whether it’s bikes, parts, repairs or accessories, the people at Skunk River have always been top notch. They are very knowledgeable and always have the parts I need.

Came in to get information about road bikes and find out how long the backorder on their bikes was. Stood around for about 5 - 10 minutes waiting for assistance. With 3 people behind the counter none even acknowledge our presence. Then one of the 3 answered a phone call and walked in our direction, looked at a bike right next to us then walked backed to the counter and hung up a phone. Never coming back out to see what help we needed. After that we walked out and left the store. Went to another competitor bike store and ordered a bike.

Bought a bike here, and my husband bought one down the street. The level of service is night and day! The staff at Skunk River is knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. They even made a bunch adjustments to my husband’s bike which made all the difference for him. They will definitely be getting more business from us in the future!!!

Local folks helping local folks. Love this bike shop and especially their shop crew. Great guys that know their stuff. Been taking bikes here for over a decade and always receive top notch service. They offer affordable prices and great communication on what they are doing to fix your rig.

Owner of the shop is a phenomenal guy! I thought i needed more then what i did, but he said nope all you need is the brake shoes and some lube. Didnt push their service. Will go back for sure

Went in looking for something I didnt need, lol! They hooked me and my old Trek up. Good as new. Thanks!!

Happy with ther service and expertise. They were able to get me back on the road in one day

Weve been extremely happy Skunk River customers since moving to Ames in 2012. Great service, knowledgable friendly employees, and fair prices. Their mechanical work is excellent, and the repair team doesnt just throw new parts at a problem; they actually FIX it. Weve bought 3 new bikes there and had numerous others in for service. Very happy customers, highly recommended.

Our daughter is a student at Iowa State. We brought her bike in to get tuned up. The mechanics did a great job. The cost was half the price than our shops here in the south suburbs of Chicago. They did a great job, that I will be bringing my bike there as well to get tuned up.

They do great works, very reasonably priced, and get things done when they tell you. Highly recommend them!

Personalized service at a locally-owned business. They do awesome repair work, too.

Wife has a flat on her bike. They got us in right away and out in minutes. Awesome job guys!!

Excellent customer service, great expertise with absolutely no high pressure sales

Best bike shop in town. The mechanics are super knowledgeable and will recommend exactly what you need without trying to sell you stuff you dont.I picked up a Surly Long Haul Trucker and wanted to change from bar-end to STI shifters, and the staff was able to switch out all the components I needed to make it compatible with the Surly frame.Great selection of bikes, accessories, and clothing. Also a great place to get hooked in to the local cycling community.

Top-notch local shop with friendly and reliable service and products.

Great bike shop. Good bike mechanics friendly staff.

I brought my super old road bike down there and they gladly helped me replace the brake pads and generally readjust everything. Great guys doing great work. Extra points for the cute shop cat!

They fixed my bike over 2 years ago and it is working well today! I know many people who are highly satisfied with the work and company. Thank you!

The mechanics know what theyre doing. All the employees are really nice and willing to work with you to find out whats best. Highly Recommend.

Amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Great prices and extremely honest advice. This place will not try to nickel and dime you to death or try to sell you something you dont need. I love this place! Ask for Ron!

Great staff, answered all my questions and made helpful suggestions.

Outstanding local shop. Im new to biking and these guys were very helpful. I didnt feel pushed to any particular product, rather felt educated to make an informed decision. Will remain my shop of choice.

Great, quality service. They always answer all questions.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Always get great customer service and maintenance & repairs are done well & at a fair price. Lucky to have such a good local bike shop to keep me rolling

Had a last minute repair need on my kiddos bike (fyi....this bike has a custom 7-yr old inspired paint job). Everyone in the shop was kind & treated my kids bike like it was important. I greatly appreciated the positive attitude & kindness from everyone in the shop today. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful to a family full of biking novices. I feel like Ill be back here later as I pick up the hobby (its growing on me).

Prompt service and great people!

Ive been buying bikes from Ron for over 32 years, from my very first cherry red 10 speed. The guys at Skunk River are friendly, knowledgable, and wont try to oversell you on something you dont need. I find great value with Skunk River and will continue to buy from them. They just helped a friend of mine save huge on kids bike too! Thanks SR!

Great friendly staff and service! They even assisted in putting on new grip tape for me after purchase! Store cat is also adorable and charming.

There was a man in the back of the store (I think it was a man or a dog?) but he was doing some nasty stuff, there was whate stuff all over the back of the floor and walls. Then for a customer to walk in and say why is there white stuff all over the place is observed. Now I want some McDonald’s food really bad now. Do you ever get sooo hunger for some toes??

Fantastic bike shop. Very friendly and helpful guys. The prices are pretty good also. I drive 45 just to go to this shop becuase they are that good.

Great products, friendly customer service. Went in to see what my bike needed to stop squeaking, the repairman lubed the chain up for free and then pointed me in the direction of what I should buy to maintain it.

Great resource for biking equipment and knowledge.

Reasonable prices. Great place and good people.

70 mile ride tomorrow and I need a new back tire (not tube but the actual tire) because the cords (or whatever they are called) are showing...Called these guys and they said they could get it done today. The is not the first time I have had my bike in for service there. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be. Service was fast and they always do a quick check on the bike to make sure it is good to go.I have taken two friends bikes in to for service at Skunk River and both friends thought the work was done well and the charges were very reasonable. Id recommend them to anyone.

I bought some studded MTB tires here 10 years ago and they are still holding up well to this day! They sell great products.

Skunk Rivers mechanic was very helpful, he took time to explain his work. There staff was friendly and the prices were good to.

Always great service, fast turn-around for repairs, net-working with other bicyclists, and friendly advice! I love it that Ronn gives back to the community by donating bicycles to local non-profit organizations.

Super helpful and friendly staff! Great experience buying a bike here.

Friendly staff with lots of bikes and accessories. Bought two bikes here and loved the experience. If in the market for a bike or accessories, check this place out.

I have been using this company for all of my biking needs since 2003. They are affordable and always give you a great deal. I continue to use this store even though I have moved away from Ames, it is worth the drive.

Great service! My bike is better than new now.

Ronn & crew are knowledgeable and friendly. Most of all they made purchasing a new bike fun and easy. Highly recommend SRC!

Best bike shop ever! Friendly service, great prices, wide selection, cats...what more could you ask for?

Great locally owned shop with a helpful staff.

The staff have helped me out several times now with little problems and charged me almost nothing for it. Come get your bike fixed and give the friendly cat a couple pets while you wait.

Great people, bicycles, accessories!

Ross was very helpful

Just got chainrings installed on my MTB but they were fast and friendly.

Excellent selection and very friendly sales and service staff, especially Grover.

Friendly people, reasonable prices

Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great selection, knowledgeable staff.

I needed help getting my bike back up on my roof rack. I didnt get his name, but one of the techs (you know who you are) came right out and took care of it for me.

The Skunk River Cycles team stand behind the bikes they sell. Any time Ive had an issue they were always there to take care of it, often when I was in a jam!

Always awesome!

Best bicycle service in Ames

Excellent, knowledgeable staff!

Great service!!!!!
