My bike is riding smoother than ever; I’m really happy with the work these guys did! Quick and clean at a reasonable price. Thank you so much!
One of service technicians said the problem with my bike is my heavy weight. But he sold me the bike no problem. The other guy is super kind and is extremely helpful, but he is not there all the time. I do all my service at other stores now and have had no problems.
This place is phenomenal - beyond great customer service. They take the time to personalize the entire biking experience. Not only are they beyond wonderful at taking care of other bikes but they are so reasonable with trade-ins and valuing their brand. 10/10
Went in for a tire repair and was very happy with their customer service. Ended up with a great tire repair, adjusments for the overall bike and a great reminder in how not all bikes are made for the same terrain. Looking forward to coming in for their first off road bike. 🙂
Ryan went above and beyond to service my bicycles on short notice! Therefore we could get going on our Northern Michigan camping and biking trip.Excellent work as well. Very fairly priced.
Kzoo Swift is a neighborhood gem! Great stock of bikes, personalized service, and friendly employees. I interacted mostly with the owner, who is awesome. I rented a bike for a week and had a perfect experience from start to finish. Dont go to a big chain store for your bike--go here instead!
Kzoo Swift is a great business that weve seen grow from humble beginnings, and its still our go-to place for everything bike related. Ryan is the best!
We know Ryan since 2013 before he set up Kzoo Swift, when he sold us two second-hand bikes from the basement of a shop on the Kalamazoo Mall. When we came back in 2016, we were happy to meet him again in his new shop, buying the two bikes we now use. The shop has grown and so the wide range of bikes (new and second hand) and accessories he now offers. He addresses all our bike needs particularly tuneups and repairs. By far the best bike shop in town, personalized service! Recommended.
Went in looking for a bike and all of them were very unique! Im glad i found one that jumped out right at me. The owner was super knowledgeable and seemed to love what he does! I definitely recommend shopping small and local!!
Came in to repair my old bike and left with a new one! Ryan, in the service department, was a tremendous help and answered all questions I had. My experience was fantastic and I highly recommend anyone looking to pick up a new bike or get into cycling to visit Kzoo Swift!
Great guy and kid. Love what he does. Definately gona be my new place. Will be back.
Bought a couple bikes here and theyve been the best performing and looking ones Ive ever had
The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating! Totally recommend this shop for your biking needs!
Found the bike of my dreams here. I really felt comfortable talking to the staff and felt they were passionate and knowledgeable. A great local business to support for a beginner like myself. Glad to know I have a place I can trust to bring my new bike in for service down the road!
I lucked out. Just shopping around for a sweet BMX, I happen to stumble upon this place. They just happened to have the last Big Ripper in West Michigan. What a great bunch of guys. They all looked like they been doing this their hole life.The shop is owed buy the main mechanic. They rebuild good used and vintage bikes.Going back to find my wife a sweet ride next.
Kzoo Swift did a wonderful job tuning and truing my sons BMX bike. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommended!!!
I’m glad I could purchase a bike from a local shop! Knowledgeable staff and I’m looking forward to adding some custom gear to my new wheels. Definitely would recommend them!
I received excellent service from kzoo swift. They have a great staff of knowledgeable people that clearly care a great deal about the work they are doing, and that make you feel taken care of even on the busiest of days.
Super fast service. We blew a tire feet from the store and received service after hours. Great experience!
We have purchased 2 different kids bikes and multiple parts. Ryan is always super helpful and was so great with my daughter helping her pick out the perfect bike.
Very unique and cool bike shop! Great customer service! Bikes are my love! I have a number of different bikes and grew up doing everything by bike! I have sold bikes to this shop and have had a number of my bikes serviced here. This place has used bikes but their good quality and they o have amazing warranties if you purchase a bike from them. Their used bikes often have new upgraded components put on or, new cables replace, seats! Often they make their bikes stand apart so your bike ends up being one of a kind! The used bikes you are getting from this shop are good quality and assembled better than any box store bike. I truly believe you get what you pay for! Great shop. Wonderful service! Unique shop! These guys love bikes! Great place to buy a high quality used bike that comes with service to the bike if needed! Check it out!
I have been in and around the bike industry in one way or another for about 25 years, even running my own. This place gets it. They have the genuine atmosphere that makes a successful shop as well as being unique in their offerings, from inexpensive refurbished bikes to newer high end offerings. I’ve seen the owner help get stolen bikes returned to their owners as give bikes away to kids for free. They deserve your business because they embody the spirit of the local bike shop as well or better than any I’ve seen.
Purchased my sons second bike from Kzoo Swift, trading in his old one for very respectable credit. Ryan spent a good amount of time showing my 11 year old all the options he had for either an already built used bike or something he could create just for him. It was a pleasant experience we will share with others and certainly enjoyed. We will return when this bike is too small and he’s fully grown! 😁
These other reviews have to be paid actors, overpriced bikes, horrible working conditions, and scummy owner. Never even driving by the place again.
I got such wonderful personalized service when I went to buy a new bike at Swift! It was extra awesome that I could bring my old bike from a decade ago for a discount on the new one. This place is a great business that only wants the best for their customers and I can tell they truly care! Highly recommend!
All I wanted was 2 tires and 2 tubes. The guy tried to solicit side work from me to put together a bike I was already putting together, and couldnt tell me if he could even do the job without the bike frame? I want the tubes and tires on the rims not on the frame buddy. You just lost my respect and business. Remember everyone, customer service is imperative, especially during these uncertain times.
My tire popped while riding by the store and he helped me out after hours, definitely super helpful! Will be back soon
Went in to sell some items, I felt they did a great job in the process and the trade in was fair. They are hard workers and its evident that they love what they do. Very reasonable pricing for their used bikes.
Ryan and the Kzoo Swift staff are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I have had nothing but fantastic experiences in this shop, whether having work done on my bike or just shopping in the store. Ryan cares DEEPLY about his customers and the entire Kalamazoo community and we are lucky to have this gem of a store in our city!
This shop like very many other in the industry are facing some interesting times. On one had the industry has been facing a shortage of bikes due to the sudden demand for bicycles. This shop is doing its best to supply customer with bikes the best they can. Keep being awesome guys. Thank you for being open.
Always a top notch experience at Swift! Ryan loves bikes and it shows in the quality of his work. The shop has a great atmosphere and I always look forward to going, even if my bike needs help...:)
I purchased a frame kit from this store on eBay. They apparently miscalculated the shipping cost and tried to ask me for more money once they had already made the sale. eBay policy says a seller can never ask for more money. I call eBay and they tell me thats the policy, but they wont actually enforce it. This is because the store canceled the order and told eBay that I requested that, which I definitely did not. Turns out when the refund went through PayPal, the currency conversion (within just a 24 hour span) meant a refund thats $100 less than I paid. So, to sum up: unethical business practices, incredibly poor communication, violation of explicit eBay policies, and absolutely no regard for customers. Apparently Im supposed to pay for their mistakes and they wont even answer messages. UPDATE (in light of owners response): There was not an effort to resolve the problem - not al all. There was a unilateral cancelling of my order, which violated two eBay policies (asking for more money for shipping and cancelling the order without my consent). The owner then relisted the item and sold it (and presumably made money, while I lost money). The only thing frustrating for them is that people now know that they have little integrity.
Thanks for fixing the bike so fast
Great bike shop for new and used bikes. They stand behind their products. Its also the first place I bring my bikes when they need a repair.
The best bike shop around with the friendliest staff! Weve been customers for years. From simple tune ups to purchasing new bikes from Swift, we know that they care about us and our rides. I cant say enough good things about Swift. Go here for all of your biking needs, youll be set for life!
Ive picked up many parts and accessories here, as well as all of my tune ups and maintenance for the last few seasons. The work is always on time and top notch. Most recently they completely rebuilt my moms 25 year old bike. Im looking forward to at least another 25 years.
I have been a faithful customer and will remain! I have always been happy with the outstanding service and knowledge he has for the industry. Trust worthy people are difficult to find. I will always recommend Kzoo Swift!
Excellent service traded in my my bike for a hybrid road bike and the service was outstanding! They do a great job preparing the bike and are always friendly and helpful. They helped me learn some of my own nike maintenance so I could take good care of my bike!
I went here last summer to look for my first ever road bike, the staff was amazing! I had no idea what I wanted or what I was even looking for, they were smart, knowledgeable and very helpful not judge mental that I did t know what I wanted.
Great service and personable staff! Love the expanded shop and would definitely recommend for new to biking or those with much time in the saddle. Ty Kzoo Swift for such a great experience!
The guys at Kzoo Swift helped me out when I was in a bad spot and treated me with the best service and did so in a timely manner. I had two bicycles that needed work and I was able to leave one there to be serviced. I let them know what day that I wanted to pick it up and they called me to let me know when it was ready. Sure enough it was ready for me on the day I needed it. I went in and settled the bill and left the other bicycle and I was pleasantly suprised with a phone call from Kzoo Swift saying that the bicycle was ready and that it was a very simple fix. I will always take my bicycles to Kzoo Swift from now on. I appreciate their costumer service and attention to detail. I would recommend that you shop at Kzoo Swift for all your bicycle needs. Thanks Guys for all you did for me. I am very greatful!!!
An excellent local business owner. Kalamazoo Swift has always been fairly priced and competent in their work, with customer service that has gone above and beyond requirements. Would always recommend this shop!
This is a great local business. Fast service when I needed my daughters bike repaired. This shop is the best!
We stopped in about a month ago looking for a bike for my son. Not only was it the only place with one in stock but it was also less than we expected to pay. It was an amazing experience and my son was ecstatic!
I have taken several bikes to Kzoo Swift and have had a positive experience every single time. They certainly have the buyers best interest in mind and at a reasonable, fair price. The basic idea of taking what already exists and bringing it back to life as opposed to putting it to the curb for garbage pick-up is wonderful. Best of all, this local shop is rooted in Kalamazoo creativity and ingenuity driven by an owner looking to support his family. Before heading out to one of the national, big box stores, I strongly suggest stopping by and checking it out.
Kzoo Swift was extremely helpful and a great place for me and my fiancé to find what we needed. We are two beginner bike riders with very little knowledge and Kzoo Swift answered all of our questions. They also accept trade-ins and gave us a good deal :)
I lucked out and got a decent used bike for a good price. If they dont have what youre looking for, follow Kzoo Swift on Facebook and check back often. Supply across the country is low so manage your expectations of bike shops right now. They can only sell what they can get, and they cant lose money to get you on a bike.
Great service, knowledgeable and kind staff, affordable, quality repairs.I told them my price range and they hooked me up with some nice front and rear lights for my bike today. Best bike shop in K-zoo.
Great hometown shop. Friendly staff bending backward to help! They made me a loyal customer today!
This place is awesome and so are the folks running it
If youre into Supporting Local Businesses, then shop Kzoo Swift! It is a great place to purchase your bike and they are very helpful with repairs🚲💨
Ryan has been helping my family out for years. Always willing to chat about the best upgrades for my height, and for getting my kids riding along with me and my partner. Well be returning as my boys grow and and are ready for bigger bikes.
This place is great. Good local service. They can fix anything too!
What a wonderful shop! We stopped in this weekend and bought refurbished bikes and helmets and had a great time doing so. Super awesome service. Love the new gear! Thank you so much. :D
I purchased my first ever bike from KZoo Swift about 2 weeks ago. I love that they offer amazing bikes at great prices! Seriously their prices can not be beat!! But beyond affordability...the service is simply excellent! I’ve gone in several times with questions or looking for gear and they’ve always been extremely helpful and friendly. From used, refurbished, vintage and new along with gear and repairs....they have what you need, at a great price and with superb customer service!
Helpful honest people.We traded in bikes We purchased new bikes. Which we love.Now Im back for Winter tires and they just keep giving us better Prices.
Awesome place with amazing service.As someone who has travelled around the US and visited many different bike shops, I can say that I have not always had great experiences. Many bike shops will make people feel like they are doing a disservice by coming into the shop and asking for help.At KZoo Swift, I experienced nothing like this. Ryan the owner was super happy to talk to me and help me rent a road bike for the week at an awesome price. The service that I received was exemplary. If I travel to Kalamazoo I will definitely come by to rent a bike. I would without a doubt recommend this to a friend.
This is a great local bike shop staffed by some really genuine people. Stopped by to ask a question on a vintage road bike that I am repairing and the owner took the time to throw my bike on the stand and proceeded to give it a quick tune up, while educating me on some bike maintenance. Despite the free insight and labor, I will certainly be returning here for any of my bike needs. I highly recommend supporting this shop and these people.
Absolutely wonderful service I wouldnt go anywhere else for advice or a tune up or even just a new bike.
I had some time to kill while I was in town and I stopped in to browse. Ryan was extremely friendly! Spring is a busy time at a bike shop, but he made time in between helping other customers to give me the full tour. Great selection of new and slightly loved bikes at very fair prices.
These people are hometown homies. friendly non pressure atmosphere. good deals and selection. 🤙🏼
Went in the other day for the first time. Great shop and super helpful. Unpretentious and welcoming. Planning to get some customizing done on my Nishiki here.
Awesome, friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to bikes! Highly highly highly recommend this bike shop!!
The owner has been a huge help to our community in tough times. He doesnt care if your birthday is a $50 kids bike or a $5,000 race bike. He treats the customer with respect and has earned it from Kalamazoo and beyond.
Great place to get a great bike that won’t break the bank! Highly recommend!!
Beautiful bike, reasonable sale. But beware this bike shop doesn’t offer refunds if you’re not completely satisfied. Something else to consider before buying a bike is don’t buy any bicycles with genders or baskets that aren’t detachable. The reason for that is, you don’t know if your basket will even get thru your door or not. For the no fender part, you are going to go thru he’ll by unscrewing everything just to change a tire. Good luck finding anyone who likes fixing it. Also beware of flashy expensive bikes. You might become a victim of unwanted attention from the wrong crowd. With all that being said, I’d still recommend kazoo swift if you’re looking for a bike but don’t go all mideval with flashy bike parts and accessories unless you’re looking for increased trouble. And don’t forget.....all sales are final!!! Unfortunately bikes don’t come with trial offers so how would you know if that bike isn’t for you? This is why reviews may be important so now you won’t make a mistake like I did.
Great local shop! Ryan and all the mechanics at Kzoo Swift have continuously treated me, and my wallet, very well.They let me take the time I needed to find (and then shine up! ) my bike, have been immediately available for repairs and service, and all the while having been very understanding and friendly.Appreciate all your hard work!
Super awesome experience getting a mechanical issue fixed! Will be back!
Great place. They have a lot of high quality refurbished bikes at reasonable rates. Bike vary from small kids bikes to cruisers and high end mountain or road bikes. They also do bike repair and maintenance as well. I brought my rear wheel there for what I though was to replace it, but after looking at it, I was told issue was simple and just needed to replace the tire (rubber)--Good as new at a very reasonable price. Ill be back.
Great little shop providing bikes of all ages to the community for sale.
Went shopping here for my first bike today and the service definitely lived up to the reviews! I had little to no knowledge of what I was looking for and Ryan was super helpful and walked me through a bunch of options. I was able to quickly find a great fit for me and some accessories for a decent price.I would definitely come back if I was looking to service or upgrade my bike. Thanks!!
I went in for some easy repairs, and left with my bike riding better than it had in months. These guys worked incredibly fast and helped me figure out exactly what needed to happen within my budget.
This place is the best to buy bikes from they helped me out alot I really appreciate their service ❤
Last summer, I bought a used Trek Bike here for what I thought was an astronomical price, $300. I LOVED it and still do. I just took it in last week for a tune up as the gears didnt seem to be shifting properly and the chain had slipped off a couple times. Kzoo Swift suggested changing from friction shifters to click shifters. I gave them the go ahead. WOW!! As much as I loved my bike and enjoyed riding it, it is 100% better than before - and for not a helluva lot of money! Thank you, Kzoo Swift!!!!
I called and had a few questions before my trip to the store, the staff was so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend
Bought my first adult bike here yesterday. I dont know much about bikes and Ryan, the owner, was so patient and helpful in explaining what is important in shopping for a bike and what would be the right bike for me. We even arrived close to when they were closing and he still gave us all the time to talk through options and test ride several different bikes.Super excited about my new bike purchase but also incredibly confident that I made a good decision for me thanks to the support from Ryan!
Bought my bike here 5 years ago, this guys great!!!
Its a small shop but they still have a pretty good selection of bikes and their service is pretty good. I brought my bike here not long after I had it at Pedal for some general maintenance and Pedal said everything was good to go but some things didnt feel right and then I got a flat. These guys fixed the flat, have me a good deal on a new tire and then saw that my brakes needed to be replaced which is what I thought but Pedal didnt seem to think so. So had them do that and it took a bit longer than I would have liked to get it all done but some parts had to be ordered and it is a small shop
Excellent service, great staff. Helped me identify the problems with my bike with zero condescension, definitely helping me learn! I will recommend that all my bike-riding acquaintances go to Kzoo Swift for any maintenance needs. Special shoutout to Gavin for really helping me out and being a great representative of the company!!
Good prices excellent service very personable
Excellent no-contact curbside service, had options for my kids and myself to try, my kids have been riding daily since we brought our bikes home. Thank you!
Awesome place, great selection of new and used. Talk about a great shop and offering a superb customer service and with the selection of upgraded used and new bikes you can definitely find what your looking for. Met the owner and will be giving him all of my future business. Support local stores and your community
Always super prompt and receptive to what I need. I have brought my bike in a handful of times for bike repairs and the owner is always very knowledgeable, informative, and helpful. I have yet to leave dissatisfied.
Brought in my 7 and 10yr old for some upgaraded 2 wheels.Great knowledge about what was appropriate for their ages/sizes.Lovely demeanor from the owner who took the time to explain the bikes not only to me but also to my children.Excellent service plan going forward including trade in when they outgrow their cycles.Small business with the skills to back it up.Thank you Ryan (apologies if I got your name wrong)!
Showed us a neat Franken bike and my daughter took it for a test ride. Theyve got a lot of great refurbished bikes, many better than new, and breathing life back into perfectly good bikes. All sizes and types for all ages. Very informative and helpful to customers. Good range of prices (affordable).
My husband had a very pleasurable experience at kzoo. He said that the staff was honest and fair and cared about getting him back on the road. Can not say enough positive things about this place
What great customer service! The owner and his mechanic took care of me even though my issue wasn’t going to make them big profits by no means. I’m very impressed by the professionalism they both had.
Great place to check out if you are looking for a clean, well maintained older bike. Pretty good selection, when I was in the store last. Friendly, knowledgeable and courteous staff. Also had some very reasonably priced brand new fat bikes by Reid. Beautiful paint jobs on these fat bikes and some of the best values Ive seen on a fat bike. Some accessories in stock and Im sure they service bikes also.
Wonderful service! We felt comfortable and welcome. We had a great experience here and will definitely recommend to others.
I was able to bring in my bike very last minute for a tire replacement. It was fixed within half an hour and I was given explanation about everything that was being fixed/adjusted as it was being done. I will be bringing my bike here from now on for all repairs and tuneups!
Super helpful guys who all love bikes and bike maintenance. They helped me pick out accessories and were very friendly the whole time!
They know their stuff. Helpful, honest, and efficient. Look no further.
Knowledgeable and personable
After speaking with the knowledgeable and friendly owner about my needs, I purchased a rock solid early 90s Schwinn at a rock bottom price.He has a diverse and constantly changing inventory of quality used bikes, and I wont be going anywhere else for services or accessories.I couldnt ask for a better local bike shop and we are very lucky to have such a place in Kzoo.
Ryan, the owner is always so nice and ready to help! Every time I come in I know I will be taken care of. Kzoo Swift is always hooking me up wether it’s throwing on some pedals or a full tune up I always leave a happy customer! Best bike shop in town!!
One of the best representations of why Kalamazoo is such a great city. Ive enjoyed every experience there, GREAT CUSTOMER service and a awesome staff that truly love what they do. Thank you KzooSwift. Thank you.
Ryan is the man! Rented bikes and I liked mine so much I came back and bought it the next day. His super friendly and knowledge and his passion for his business is inspiring
I have been buying little stuff at Swift since Ryan moved the shop to Westnedge, and bought my youngest kiddo a used bike here a few years ago. Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to buy a new Surly Wednesday from Swift: it was assembled quickly and expertly, at a great price, and they were almost as excited about the bike as I am. I look forward to being a customer here for as long as we live in Southwest Michigan.
