Bicycle Returns

Bicycles must be in certain condition to be eligible for return or refund:

Bring your order, with proof of purchase, to our store location. You may be eligible for a full refund of the purchase price, not including initial shipping and handling charges (S&H), incidental fees, plus any applicable tax and restocking charges, so long as any such bicycle is new and undamaged and we make a final determination in person.

PLEASE NOTE, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN ITEM MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF “NEW” OR “UNDAMAGED” REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE ALLOW YOU TO BRING THE ITEM TO OUR LOCATION FOR INSPECTION.
