I was happy to find a demo fork online. I ordered it, it arrived with small scratches on the stanchions that were not mentioned in the description when ordering. I replied to the order email and left a message on the contact us section of the website with no response...

AVOID THIS BIKE SHOP! Criminal Labour Charges
This spring I have been cycling across Canada from Ontario to BC and given the road conditions I had been experiencing a lot of flats. So while in Nelson I went to get more robust tires. I am beyond disappointed in the conduct of the Sacred Ride Bike shop that not only overcharged me for Gator Skin tires but even charged over $50 to install my tires. They only mentioned this after the fact- even after I had already paid for my tires. I have given them ample opportunity to remedy this situation and they have not even replied. This is disrespectful

Had a great experience at The Sacred Ride. They had the bike I was looking for, set it up quickly and spent the time to give it the once-over with me. The staff were really friendly and helped me load the bike up for the drive home. I really appreciated the great service!

My T. Rice Orca was badly hurt, and it was very sad but Ian the magician fixed her up and she is good as new, it's quite unbelievable, you can barely see where I hit the rock! Now I can join the pod again and ride the waves ;) huge thanks to the Sacred Ride!

Absolutely sickest ski/snowboard shop staff I've seen. Super chill, super friendly, super efficient. Got a pair of boards tuned perfectly on a short fuse timeline dead middle of an all-time weekend. Cannot ask for more.

I know that bike shops are super busy this summer and that there are staff shortages etc..., but I had very rude service person. I get that your busy, but being rude to customers to turn them away doesn't hold up to your name "sacred"

These guys totally hooked me up when the airlines lost my Board. They stayed late and gave us the full bro treatment to make sure we had a great following day on the mountain. Their shop is legit and the guys working there are too.

Had bindings fit to boots today for my daughter, done same-day on opening day at WH2O with zero attitude and a super-friendly helpful vibe. And great price too

These guys have been working on my bike for years now. I swear every time I get my bike back from them it is easier to bike up the Stanley street! Granted they have replaced everything on the back of the bike except the brakes... but there is always next year!
Thanks for doing a great a job and going the extra mile!

Took 2 pairs of skis in to get a base grind and clean the edges up before I sold them. When I picked them up, the brake assembly on one ski was broken. When asked about it the response was - "my guess is they would have been weakened over time and years of shredding, and we might have dealt them their final blow without even knowing, sorry amigo!"… When asked if they cared to remedy the situation, I received no response.
Any shop I have worked in we would generally try to return the customers gear in the same or better condition than it was in upon arrival - Not worse.
Definitely will not
