We had an amazing experience with Matt. Finally got over a lot of excess bills that were precluding us (mainly ME!) from buying a new bike. I lost my old hybrid in a prior move.Matt was amazing. Very attentive, knowledgable, and pretty much answered all of my questions. Then, I had forgotten to buy a storage sleeve to attach to my bike, so I returned to the store with my wife(who hasnt learned to ride a bike yet). Before we knew it, he had her on a bike, and she was learning to balance.He put her bike on hold but we didnt get by there to buy it until last night.Thanks, Matt and Bike World!!
Great service and nice selection of bikes. Tom helped us purchase a bike today, and I have worked with several of the staff. They are all knowledgeable and friendly to work with. I will continue to do business with them for a long time. Highly recommend them!
Nate was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I are so impressed with him and how he helped us. We are basically completely new to biking- it’s been many years since we have been out. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for, showed us several different options, and explained what was similar and different from each one. He took time to come outside and watch my form and make adjustments to the seat height. Also helped troubleshoot some issues I was having with my bike rack. Couldn’t be more appreciative of Nate.Please thank him for us, Pete and Candi Scheurman
Joe was incredibly helpful and took his time with us when we picked up my husbands new Trek bike. We brought in my bike and he took the time to get me fitted, as well. The products we purchased seem to be top-notch and we are looking forward to joining the ranks of the Bike World. (no pun intended)!!
I went in with hopes of purchasing my first road bike but didnt know where to start. The expert services helped me narrow down what would work best for me within my price range. They also helped me find all the necessary elements for successful future rides, installed the components, and made sure everything was closely inspected before allowing me to ride. The service was all-around great, friendly, and helpful throughout the whole process!
My receipt says the person who checked me out is Andrew S. so I assume this is the gentleman who assisted me. He is super helpful and friendly. He has helped me the past 2 times I have come in and directed me exactly where I needed to be and got my correct product quickly and was so informative. Thanks, Andrew S!
Amy at Bike World in West Des Moines was amazing! She listened to my needs and found me a bike that worked. She was patient, knowledgeable, and fun! I can tell she has a passion for biking and I look forward to going back for my future biking needs.
Everything about my experience was World class. Bike World in West Des Moines fixed up an old bike of ours and made it better than new, as well as servicing the bike that I purchased there last year. All of the advice that they gave me was honest and incredibly helpful. 10/10! Shout out to Andy who helped me with everything.
Had service on my recumbent trike and we’re very satisfied with everything they did for us. We bought a puppy burley and we’re still working to get Zoey to love it we certainly do. They had the best Bike service anyone could ask for. Thank you to Jason for all the help he gave us. We very much appreciate all he did.
I was reluctant to pay full retail for my bike, but I got great service from the guys at Bike World. I feel comfortable knowing that they will be responsive if I need warranty service in the future.
Bike World Iowas people are genuine and care about the biking experience. The stores have a workable range of products (its too easy to leave with more than we came in for), and they special order whatever we want outside of normal stock. We also depend on their mechanics to keep us rolling in good shape, their collective experience is solid.
Excellent service and expertise provided. Convenient location for test rides on the bike trail. Walked out with a great new bike.
Went in to replace my old tires and they were helpful providing different options. New tires were on in half a day. Definitely worth paying $10/tire for installation rather than wasting hours trying to get it right myself. Would recommend!
Purchased a Trek Roscoe 6 and got help from a very informative member of the staff. Guided me to some trails on the maps they had available, very knowledgeable and friendly.
During industry limited inventory and back orders, Jason at Bike World, went over and beyond to find me the perfect road bike!
Amazing service! And has a bike trail right near the shop to test out before buying.
Ive only been to the Bike World store in West Des Moines twice and both times I worked with an employee named Nick. Both times were great experiences - knowledgeable, quality work, and consistent communication. Highly recommend.
We have made a couple purchases with Bike World and have always been satisfied with our experience. The staff is knowledgeable and kind willing to work with novice bike enthusiasts like myself. Their selection of bikes is second to no one in the area. Prices are fair and they offer a decent trade in value on bikes that you have purchased from them previously. Thanks Bike World.
Great sales guy really kept me informed and I learned a couple things, forgot his name, but the Black 74 year old guy,,, 100
Had a very good experience here buying a new bike for the 2021 season. Andy helped me out, really knew what he was talking about abs helped me make a decision. Also, on a very busy Saturday, Andy was very patient with us as we sized and test rode different bikes. Would 100% recommend going to Bike World and buying a bike from Andy!
Staff was great! Just like lots of things with Covid, not a ton of stock, but Nick definitely made an effort to show me some option, which I really appreciate.
I came in to buy bikes for two of my kids. The sales person was prompt, helpful, and informative. I got in and out with what I needed in 30 minutes.
My experience today at Bike World was great. Everyone went the extra mile in helping us get everything we needed and in addressing our various questions. Specifically, Jason took extra time to make sure I had the shoes/cleats I needed and set me up on a trainer to practice clipping in and out of my pedals before going live outside.
The personalized assistance we received while looking at and then buying new road bike helmets was great. The information was accurate and detailed and Greg also added good humor to the buying experience. We feel we purchased quality products at a fair price and the service was exceptional. Thank you.
Very rarely do I like to give perfect ratings; because as consumers we see them as red flags. But when credit is due, it’s due.I called Mr.Andy 13 minutes before close and stayed on the phone with via Bluetooth as we went over what I wanted; and gave him the two options; of which he ran down one. Made it there, held him well after closing; as I had to of course test drive these things.He then had his service guys get it ready for delivery, and if that wasn’t enough, I managed to pester him into giving me a sweet discount on some gear I needed, and also pointed out a few things I missed while doing research.The thing that impressed me the most; which I did test him slightly, he was willing to let me walk away if he didn’t have exactly what I wanted, rather than try to convince me like others did that I needed a medium instead of a large.I also got tossed a few freebies; but I’ll let you found out what they are after you get your bike.
Our salesman, Luke was awesome! He answered all our questions and was very helpful with everything. We found the perfect bikes for us. We are excited to start riding in the spring. We will recommend Bike World to all our friends!
Did not have part I needed in WDM store and immediately called other stores and had it shipped there for me to pick up. Andy was awesome and called me a couple days later and let me know the when it would arrive which saved me time and is great customer service.
Honestly an amazing place and really chill folks working there. My guy (Matt) even helped me squeeze my new bike in my tiny car ha. Thanks!!
Bike world is the best place to buy anything related to bikes in Des Moines. I just bought two bikes, kids trailer, and bunch of accessories! Highly recommended.
Joe, my salesmen was not only super helpful about the bike itself but he was very helpful in explaining all the accessories I needed too. Being totally new to cycling I didn’t know much and he was super helpful throughout the process! Would definitely recommend friends and family.
Please read all the way to the end.2016: I stopped in looking for a fork for my current bike. I ended up speaking with Joe Newendorp. I want to call him out for being so awesome! We struck out finding a fork, but I was able to talk with Joe about bikes, and my current goal. He was super knowledgeable and great to talk with.The above regarding Joe is still true today, but let me add some more.2017 - ( I forget the exact month), I took it into BW for their Tuneup Plus service. They fixed the things that needed it, including what we identified when we dropped it off. When I got it back, it looked better than new. I threw it on the trainer and rode it until going back outside in April. It was just super nice having a clean, tuned up bike under me on the trainer.2018 - I dropped it off mid-November for another Tuneup Plus service. We talked about the things to specifically check, etc. A few days later, they called and said they noticed cracks in the rear wheel. This was excellent. Better to fix this now, then have it fail while Im riding. That took at least a week to get the rim, and for them to rebuild the wheel. Then I received a call saying that he thinks he forgot to call me to let me know it was complete. That was a Tuesday. I stopped on Friday to pick it up. Somebody noticed something that wasnt quite right with the front brake. Ok, fine, I guess. I chatted with Joe and looked a line of bikes that Im considering. Well, then it was done, and I thought I would double check the front tube was changed before I went home and threw it on the trainer. It wasnt. Apparently, the rear tube was changed. So, I guess they never even checked the pressure in the tire since you couldnt add air to it, which is why I wanted it changed. They did do the front tube for free, so kudos for doing the right thing there.So, at this point, I pay and wheel it out to the car, only to notice the whole bike is as dirty as when I dropped it off. This was after work, and I just wanted to get it home and on the trainer. However, these things are nagging at me. I gave up on a competitor of theirs for screwing up a simple spoke change. Now they didnt even wash the bike (which they specifically spell out in the service listing, nor did they check the pressure (or inflate), which is another thing specifically spelled out). So, what else wasnt really done that was supposed to be? I have to question EVERYTHING now. Will I find the wheel out of true? Were the spokes tensioned? Were the brake pads even replaced? Was anything actually gone through like it was supposed to be? I mean the chain was obviously cleaned and lubed, but thats about all I could easily verify on the spot.Hell, I just looked and they didnt bother putting the valve stem cover back on the rear wheel. I dont know the persons name in the shop who did the work last year ( and I talked to a fair amount over the last 1 1/2 years), but I havent seen him in there this year. So, I guess he was key to getting good service in the shop then?I like BW, but I like it a lot less now. My experiences with the shop are definitely spotty. I dont know how theyll deal on a new bike purchase, but in any case be wary of the shop at this location.UPDATE:Im happy to report that they do take such things as my 2018 experience seriously. Joe went above and beyond to turn this bad experience around and make things right. Bravo!
Excellent customer service! Great selection. Will be going back for any future bicycle needs!
Bike World had what I wanted and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great experience!
Visited twice. On the first visit, Andy was very helpful as we learned what frame size we needed for our new bikes. On our second visit, Matt was friendly and let us test out a few bikes before we made our purchases. Happy customers here!
Loved our interaction with Luke. Was knowledgeable and was patient. Helped in answering most of my noob questions
Ive been into Bike World a few times over the past year and have had a great experience every time. The customer service is amazing: all the associates are knowledgeable and helpful without ever getting pushy or trying to up-sell you on something you dont need. Unlike some other places in town, I also appreciate how they genuinely value you as a customer even if you arent dropping several thousand dollars on bikes/gear. They carry quality product lines that are all priced well. Bonus that they are right off the bike trail!
Excellent choices and top notch sales/help to pick out the right bike. Great place and highly recommend to go here for your next bike selection.
Honest and prompt service of very good quality
Youre my neighborhood bike experts. You have a variety of bikes for my family and knowledgeable staff members to help me when I dont know what I need. Staff takes the time to ask questions about how I plan to use the bike (surface conditions, casual biking, etc) so that I get a bike thats fitted to my needs. Then, if I need it serviced, the team knows what theyre doing to fix any problems. And, the pricing for bike servicing is very reasonable.
Very impressive bike store with a huge selection. Matt was very helpful in finding my new mountain bike. Will definitely be back!
I have a real loyalty to Bike World. Keith has always been super helpful and always takes the time even when he is busy. I do feel like he is focused on helping me be a better rider and have the right equipment and the right fit/setup as possible. I have shopped around at other bike shops but always came back for the staff - I can get a bike anywhere. Other people dont have the staff and I want to support a locally owned business.
I walked into Bike World for the first time when my husband decided to get me a bike for my birthday. I hadnt ridden since childhood, but was excited to give it a try again. I was helped by a gentleman who had the absolutely best smile ever, and he helped me find the perfect bike. A year later we came back for our kids first bikes. The same wonderful man helped us get them ready to safely ride, making sure the bikes fit perfectly for them so they could be successful. Now my husband and dad are thinking it sure would be nice to be able to ride... and guess where we will go? They have helped me learn how to maintain my bike and make sure Im ready to safely take on a new challenge. You dont have to be an avid rider to be treated well here. If you are like me and just wanting to increase the ways you can get moving and try to improve your health they will help you with no judgements. They help people with mobility issues and various health concerns get the equipment they need to be able to enjoy getting outside. Ive loved every interaction Ive had in this store. My kids love visiting and especially love the hardware store cat that comes in to say hi. Such a wonderful place to have so close to home!
Just bought our fourth bike in the past two years. Great people!
Great selection and the service is wonderful. Everyone is so helpful.
Knowledgeable and very helpful staff makes for a great bike shopping experience!
Awesome experience. I will go back
Always helpful and great service.
Always helpful at Bike World. I signed up for a personal bike fitting by Bill to address a problem I was having. It was well worth it!
BikeWorld not only excels in selling the bike, where they are truly amazing is every encounter afterwards. They are beyond helpful. Yesterday, I brought a trainer in that I bought online and my bike and asked for help to get it working correctly. No problem. They are amazing.
I would like to thank Matt and Joe for going above and beyond to get my trike ready for me in a reasonable time and the guys behind the scenes the mechanics I appreciateI would like to thank you both again Mark
We had a great experience at Bike World, very knowledgeable and helpful associates.
Very helpful in the purchase of my new Trek Farley 9.6. Had most of the accessories that I needed and had my bike set up quickly.
The sales associate that helped me, Jason, was very knowledgeable about the bikes and the differences between them and even set me up for a test drive. He also helped me with picking out some accessories as well. I would definitely recommend this place because of their specific expertise in the bike world!
Always great customer service.
I was helped by a very respectful gentleman named Jeff as soon as I walked in the door. He helped me from start to finish and let me take the bike on a very generous test ride. I love my new bike and I would highly recommend Bike World!
Bike World had a great selection of products. I was looking for a bike for my 4 year old and the staff was very helpful with making a decision.
Excellent experience! Very helpful and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Great and helpful staff. Joe was patient and took the time to work with me and get the bike set up just like I needed. Now thanks to my new electric bike I am able to ride againWhat a great Experience at Bike world. My husband has shopped there for 30 years And it has been a great company.
Online ordering was easy, they had parts few others did and shipped fast
Employee was very knowledgeable and helpful with our son who was transitioning from youth bike to small adult. Tried a couple different Trek’s and a Giant’s and found the right fit for him
Great service, Kyle was really helpful.
Incredibly frustrating. Only a poorly managed store would run out of ALL bikes, aside from professional and insanely priced. Not only that, but if I wanted to order one they don’t have one on the floor to test out. Do better Bike world!
Joe B was excellent to work with when I needed help replacing my long-term bike. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and professional in helping me determine the best bike for me (Trek 520) based on my type of riding. Appreciated his service in helping make sure the fit was right and explaining after sale services and follow up. I was looking for a go to person for my future biking questions and service....I found that with Joe! Thanks Bif, for the excellent referral....much appreciated! Mark T
Excellent service as always! Bike World is light years ahead of all other bike shops in the area.
Every interaction Ive had with the older, bald individual that works at this location has been awful. Hes never helpful, and not very knowledgeable. I ultimately stopped going to Bike World for over a year because of his sub par customer service. He gets one star.A month or so ago, they had a part I needed in stock so I bit the bullet and decided to try them again. A different individual was helped me that time and the experience was night and day different. Very positive, very helpful. Same goes for their mechanics. Five stars.Recently, I had to go back to pick up another part ... the bald guy was there and was as unhelpful as ever. Is he always there?! It would be great to know the days hes not scheduled to work so I can plan my trips accordingly.Words of wisdom: If an older, bald gentlemen asks if you need any help, just say no. Work with someone else.
Bike World had the two bike brands I was interested in, Trek and Giant, and more than enough inventory. The salesperson who I worked with, Kelly, was very informative and helpful. When I go back for something else I will request her and I recommend her to others.
My 12 year old son outgrew his dirt bike, so we recently stopped in to purchase a new bicycle with accessories. Kelly helped us find exactly what we needed and set us up with the appropriate accessories. She was extremely knowledgeable and paid attention to detail, while being efficient through the whole process. Excellent customer service! Thanks Kelly!
We went in on mother’s day looking for a specific bike for my wife. It did not appear that they carried that bike in the store but Biff was able to track one down for us that fit exactly what we were looking for. We left buying not only that bike but a matching bike for myself. Customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend going in to see Biff and his staff at Bike World.
Friendly knowledgeable staff,convenient location,quality products/services at fair prices.
Great group of knowledgeable people!
Friendly and super helpful staff!!
It is rare the owners of a business take a personal interest in solving customer service issues.There are some standout moments where this local bike shop shines.I have been treated to some outstanding customer service.Special orders are no problem.Bif is absolutely terrific when it comes to understanding customers.
Repairs done quickly.
Being new to the area, I was pleased to find Bike World - an excellent bike shop with professional, knowledgeable and kind staff. I will definitely continue to go here for my bike needs.
The sales team and mechanics are very helpful, know what they are doing and go the extra mile to help you right now.
Always a pleasure to go to Bike World. You are treated with full respect. You are not just a customer, rather, you are family. Although each and every team member is awesome, and experienced, Joe is my go to guy.Keep up the great work you do.Support the store that supports the sport!
Bike World is great. They help on many levels. Just general help is great. The warehouse and other sales are great. Then there is going the extra mile. I have one salesman that personally helps me find the right bike, tires, and equipment to go along with it. That will keep me coming back
Almost everything. The ride is more easier than any bike I have ever ridden. Its a very well built bike. The only problems I have encountered are: The tires are a bit stiff so I can feel ever bump. The frame is too thick in one place and too thin in the other so I cant hang my lock. Other than that I am very satisfied.
Good experience with all of our family bikes over the years. Great service when repairs and tunes ups are needed as well. Highly recommend.
Sals associate was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me get exactly what I was looking for.
Wow! Truly incredible service. Jason was awesome
I stopped in to Bike World the other day, I had bought a bike from Walmart, as they are all out at this time. I took it there for them to give it a quick look to make sure everything was in working order, but when I wanted to start adding things like a bike lock, lights, etc he wouldnt install them for me, said theyre easy to install yourself
I cant say enough good things about this business! They have an enormous selection of bikes and all related accessories. What really sets Bike World apart from their competition is their outstanding customer service. They always go above and beyond whats expected of them and thats why Ive been a loyal customer for nearly 25 years.
My husband and I hadnt had bikes since our kids were little. The staff was very helpful in answering all our questions and safety needs. Biff specifically was very help and a pleasure to work with! We are in LOVE with our new bikes and will recommend Bike World to anyone looking to purchase a new bike.
I went to bike world west des moines for a rather expensive solution to bike with my special needs daughter. They gave me some alternative ideas. I did some researches and came back to get their Trek Mountain Train. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. They spent over 2 hours to set it up on my bike just perfectly. They are very patient and knowledgeable. I cannot be happier!The seat had to be raised higher. After one day of riding, I decided to get another smaller bike to mount this Trek Mountain Train. The staff talked me out of it, instead they offered to make it work better on my own bike. I know they are very good with bikes. So if they tell me smaller bike wont work better, I trust them. I also appreciate their honesty, they did not just sell me more bikes. They really want what is the best for their customers. I trust these guys and this store.
I had a great experience with the saleswoman kelly. She helped me and my daughter pick out bikes for about 2 hours total and was super helpful and patient the entire time.
Great selection and Shamus was great help with my new bike! Close bike trail to test ride was awesome!
Christopher Maharry was so helpful and knowledgeable about bikes and helping me find my perfect fit!!
This place was awesome. Frank did an awesome job at helping me buy a hitch rack. He went above and beyond. I still had to purchase the hitch and he called nearby places for me. Incredibly knowledgeable and patient. You wont be steered wrong if you come here!
Id just like to take a moment to thank Bike World on being a standout company. Specifically, both Kelly and Joe have been a pleasure to work with. They both went above and beyond to not only get me into the right bike, but to help me understand that bike AND stood behind the quality of it as well. A little background, I wanted to buy my dream bike and knowing that I was going to be spending at least $3,000 on the bike itself I was fairly picky. Both Kelly and Joe took the time to walk me through the options on the available bikes, the gearing setups and the gear in general that I would need to take on both Road and Gravel biking with my new ride. We landed on the Checkpoint SL5, after which they helped to professional fit me on the bike and sent me on my way.Fast forward 2 months and I am in LOVE with the bike, but Ive been having issues. It was having a double shift issue on the crank set/front gears, paint seems to be flaking off and I was getting a squeak from the front end that wouldnt go away. *DISCLAIMER* I LOVE this bike and some of these things are bound to happen when hauling 20+ MPH down gravel roads, just not this much and so early on in its life. Being that this was my dream bike, I was a bit upset and voiced that. I felt bad, but after spending that kind of money on a bike and all of the gear Ive purchased since then I wasnt happy.The Bike World team had a decision to make here, they could ignore my repeated concerns or they could do something about it. As this is a 5 star review, I think you know what they did :) They stood up for me as the customer and helped to square things away with my bike. Not only that, but they did so in a very genuine way; it wasnt just about the product to them, it was about the people and the joy of biking.I will forever be a Bike World fan and will continue to give them my support and business, and you should too!
Love Bike World! We have purchased four bikes here, and use them for yearly tuneups as well. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Bike World has a great service department. They always have a solution even when the repair or problem is difficult. They have an outstanding group of employees who provide top notch service.
Hands down, the best bike store ever. An incredibly wide selection of bikes at every price. Any equipment that you need. And best of all amazing service.
I recently purchased two new bikes, one for my wife and one for myself. The sales person was knowledgeable and very pleasant. He never pressured us to take something that we didnt want, he let us ride as many bikes as we wanted and listened to our feedback in helping us decide what the correct choice would be.We also get a two week tune and a spring time tune for free with our bikes. My wife and I couldnt be happier with our bike choices and with our choice of bike shop.
Great online experience, Definitely recommend checking out.
Great experience, would recommend to anyone for Giant bicycle products, from any state, thanks!
Bike World has high quality bikes, components, and accessories. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help!!
