Fantastic Service in store and via email
After recently purchasing a Reid Cycle through a third party seller (Never again), I contacted Reid customer service regarding the bike as incorrect accessories arrived and I had a question regarding the price.
Joseph in customer service went out of his way to assist me, ensuring the staff at the Melbourne store knew I was coming in for my bike build and ensuring they knew exactly what was needed.
When going to the store the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to assist me, showing me how to attach the new bike carrier I purchased for my tow bar etc.
This has been one of the best customer service experiences I have had in a long time.

Great service, competitive prices
Having recently relocated to Brisbane from Sydney. My family and I decided to make use of Brisbane's wonderful cycle network. Quite by accident we happened upon REID cycles Coorparoo store & decided to take a look. What a wonderful surprise it was to find a business that still believes in excellent customer service, great product and all without the exorbitant price tag! I highly recommend REID Cycles to anyone that is looking to purchase a new bike or related products.

Fantastic Service, Fantastic Bikes
Assembling my wife's Vintage Women's bike I ended up having a minor issue with a screw in the frame. The Head Office support was absolutely top notch, I was asked to bring the bike in (or post it back, but the former was easier for me) and it was swapped over for a new, assembled bike. While there I decided to purchase a second bike, just because of how great the experience had been. The Melbourne Sales Assistance was extremely helpful and great to deal with, and the bikes both my wife and I rode away with have been great to ride around on. We're from the Frankston area, and the trip into the city was easily worth it for both the customer service and the products themselves. Can't recommend Reid enough.

Bike delayed - they promised to arrive mid-january the latest, now 3wks overdue and counting
I ordered a bike during the boxing day sale from reid cycles Adelaide. I paid the full amount on the day. They told me the bike will come by mid january the latest. Called them up many times, poor customer service! its been more than 3 weeks overdue, and they keep saying "sorry, it's not our fault, another 2 more weeks", every time. They forget what the order was. They dont keep there promises seriously, very disappointed with their customer service. I wouldnt recommend anyone to buy from here.

uently on the phone. Up till now, i havent received my bike yet. If you were in my situation, and i was 4 weeks overdue in paying you money - you'll be mad right? she did her job and was told it will come by mid jan the latest. But it's up to the business to ensure it arrives by then, not her. And if it comes late, to contact the customer that it's running later than expected but here's what i can do for you for the inconvenience etc. now that's the aspect of customer service i was talking about. Instead, i had to call reids many times and see what's happening with my order. But the man who picked up, should have at least made me feel they knew what my order was or whatever. Otherwise it makes you feel under-valued. If the business had let me known that there was issues with the delay which has been very long and unacceptable, at least to have physically contacted me, and offered me solutions: like adding/upgrading the bike or extra services etc. if i was made aware of these issues, then i would have considered purchasing a bike elsewhere to get it sooner. But i've been left hanging. And i still dont know when ill get my bike etc.David F.Reid Cycles
Hi Aussie. It was the Manager that was dismissed (not the lady who served you) - sorry, I can only work on assumptions as you haven't given your name. Please email Richie at Adelaide store [email protected] so he can sort this out.

Perfect, Patient, Excellent Service! Top Notch!
Bought my bike earlier this week and collected my vintage ladies today, after riding a short distance, i thought it was not suitable as it might be too heavy for me, decided to bring it to Reid Melb to have it swapped to a Griffon. Andrew who introduced me to the bikes the first time was very patient, very knowledgable. He patiently assembled the griffon for me but when it was handed over to me, we realised it was way to big for me and it would be better for me to go back to a vintage. Throughout the whole process since the day i stepped into ...Read more
the shop, Andrew was always smiling, forever patient and forever with a 'no problem', 'no worries' attitude. I was extremely guilty but he was ever reassuring. This guy is a GEM! He deserves a promotion! I am new to the city, and if everyone in Melbourne is like Andrew, this city will certainly lives up to its name of being the most liveable city in the world!! BTW i love my vintage! it is a easy-to-ride bike! comfy!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Pedals fell off
Owned the bike for less than 3 weeks and the pedals almost fell off. Loose to the point of no traction could have seriously hurt me or worse. Customer service was none existent not even an apology, they offered to post me a new crank! Took the bike back got a refund, I was told by the mechanic that the are built on a production line and it wasn't their fault, take some ownership mate really! Micky mouse bikes shoddy workmanship and even worse customer service! I could go on but I will leave it there you have been warned!

Hi RW. Did you assemble the bike yourself or purchase in store? Please email [email protected]
The bike was assembled in your Melbourne shop. Don't try to make out this was my doing!

A happy return to cycling
I went into the Adelaide store about two weeks ago to look for a bike. I spoke with Richie the store manager and after our discussion I settled on the Reid City 1.
A week later I contacted Richie and ordered the bike. I took delivery of the bike yesterday.
Richie was unable to be there so he handed over my order to Jye to complete.
Both Richie and Jye paid attention to my requirements in the bike I ordered and Jye's attention to detail was excellent. He helped me select some addition accessories I needed, including a set of pannier bags for when I need small items from the shops.
I will be recommending Reid Cycles to people I know who are looking for a bike.
The service I received exceeded my expectations. ...Read more

Go elsewhere for service
Paid well over $350 for a service on a two year old flat bar road bike (not reid). Had put bike in as it was a convenient location. As I rode away, noticed the gear indicator was missing. Two days later, had flat tire (slow leak) that I suspect was there at the time of service. Manager very very rude.

Great service, and love the bikes
I went in to the Sydney stores a couple of times before deciding on two bikes for my bf and I. Everyone has always been happy to help. The store can get very very busy at times but as long as you're patient and willing to wait, they'll give you great tips. Just received the bikes on Monday, put them together but wasn't sure of the safety so took them back into the store. The guys at the workshop were happy to check on both bikes for us and they did it within 20 mins. While they did this, we looked around Mandy helped us collate the rest of our accessories together. She was super friendly, recommended a great deal and we walked away very happy. I would recommend to nay of my friends.

Very helpful
Massive thank you to Reid for doing their best to repair my bike. At first I was I concerned at the length of time it was taking to fix but found out that it was because they had to order in some special parts. It is now working better than ever and I am very happy with it.
They have great mechanics and kept me updated on the progress all the way.

This Bicycle store Parramatta Road Sydney
Reid Cycles is the best Bicycle store to deal with, such friendly staff that always go out of their way to help.
I bought my partner a bike when I got it home after 2 days he wasn't to happy with the style, so we took it back they automatically exchanged it with a friendly smile.
I have never experienced such a warm loving family store, would recommend buying your next bike from Reid Cycle 56 Parramatta Road Sydney NSW

February 5th 2018 Update: No longer in Parramatta Road
Just letting those who do not know this shop has closed down but have reopened in Newton in Sydney was sad to see the big one gone.

Great advice, awesome first bike and very friendly staff
I was in the market for my first bike and I was wondering around few shops without any success until I met Mandy at the Sydney Store. She was lovely, helpful and super patience in helping me choosing the right bike. I got the Osprey Elite Road Bike in the end and it is rocking awesome.
Furthermore, I had a bike accident two weeks later, and Mandy was really nice helping me to fix my bike at the lowest cost.
I also got a vintage bike for my wife and daughter as well. Mandy served us well and really friendly. Simply because the buying exp...Read more
erience was great. Lastly, I love their opening hours. They close at 7pm on weekdays and this is especially great for people who work between 9-5pm. I can actually look and test bikes.

Excellent Service. Quick and Helpful!
My sister and I wanted to chip in and get a Road Bike for our Dad’s birthday as he is keen to get into cycling. We both have no idea about cycling so looked at some different bike shops and quickly found how expensive they all are. I had been recommended Reid from a friend but saw some negative reviews online so was unsure about them, but decided to visit the store anyway as its close to where we live. We were served by a man that clearly knew what he was talking about (we were worried about being forced into a dodgy sale as we know little abou...Read more
t cycling). He actually recommended a cheaper model from what we were looking at as he said it would be better suited to our dad who was a beginner cyclist. He helped us understand the differences in the bikes and was very knowledgeable. They did not have the bike already built but it did not take them long to put it together, after a quick coffee it was ready to go. The bike was nowhere as expensive as the other shops and we even got some free stuff like a lock, pump and lights. It was Dads birthday last week and he was very excited. Said he had been looking at Reid bikes too! Has already been on a ride and loved it. Overall we were very happy with the service and product we received. I am hoping my experience is shared with others and helps them decide on Reid.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

More expensive than other brands
I bought a red vintage style ladies bike from Reid's the other day only to find exactly the same style bike at Kmart for $100 cheaper. The guy there told me you won't find them anywhere near his shops price in Melbourne. What a joke. Very unhappy!

Hi ArthurB. This is not a fair comparison at all. Our bikes have lifetime frame and fork warranty (Kmart offer nothing like this as their frames do not last), our bikes can come built from a mechanic ... Read more
(Kmart are boxed only), our bikes are SAI certified for safety because of the quality of components (Kmart are not). Ask someone who has experience with bikes to test ride the two brands and the difference will be clear.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Sydney shop an embarrassment
Reid Cycle's service at their Glebe shop in Sydney is appalling. They are rude, unhelpful. Several weeks or so ago my daughter bought a bike from this' so groovy' bike shop. On the way home in the car the back wheel exploded. So we had to return to get it fixed. They couldn't explain the problem. A few days later, we had to return again as a pedal screw had fallen out. When we were there, the salesman even said that the pedal supplied was 'dangerous.' We looked on in disbelief. Now today the back tyre exploded again. We go back for the third ti...Read more
me, and was messed around. Told it would take an hour to look at. When I demanded to see the manager, they said he was at lunch, then admitted he wasn't working until the following week. It was an old fashioned runaround. The mechanic was extremely rude, and said with contempt that 'we'll give you the benefit of the doubt' and would fix it- even though the shop had stuffed it up by pinching the tube when putting the tyre on in the first place. In that place, service comes last and the customer treated with contempt. Overall one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had to endure. Do not have anything to do with them. (I am not alone on this... google Reid Cycles Sydney and read the countless negative comments) I have told my daughter to instead go to our local bike shop if she he has any more problems. There they are courteous, helpful and actually know something about bikes. Their mechanics are also not jerks.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Loving Reid Cycles!
We bought three bikes on the weekend in readiness for casual Summer cycling and I can't believe the value of these bikes! The vintage ladies bikes came in a package deal with helmet, light etc. Depending on the bike they have different package prices but all were really reasonable, particularly when we are not avid cyclists but just wanted something to get around on.
The only downside was the Melbourne store was absolutely packed! It meant we waited a while for service but, the number of customers certainly made me feel comfortable that we'd made the right choice.

Excellent customer service. Great light weight bikes
Just wanted to let you know that we visited Reid Cycles on Sunday 16th November. Our experience at the store was very positive. If I was doing a mystery shop all the employees working on the day deserved 10/10.
We had a lovely girl called look after us. She was very helpful and went out of her way to let my daughter ride a bike that was her correct size. The bike was not on display and she organised for one to be put together for her to ride. This was a mountain bike. After all her effort I asked if my daughter could try the ladies ...Read more
classical vintage bike only because I think they look good. Again she was prompt and was more than happy to organise it. She even let her ride it around the back of the store and then came out to see how she fits on the bike and rides it. Even while we were waiting for the bikes to be sent down many of the staff asked if we needed help. The service we received was far beyond what you expect to receive in other retails in general these days. Especially when the store was busy! Your staff should be commended on the service they deliver.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Questions & Answers
Suffi A.asked
Do you offer full assembly of a bike if I were to purchase one in person from a physical store? I am pretty sure I can follow your pdf guide but the gear and brake installation part just unnerves me and I'd rather have someone pro do it for me. If yes does this post-purchase service come with extra fee?
