Best place to buy a bike in Madison?

I'm ready to upgrade my Huffy and recs of good bike shops in the area.  I know there are a ton, Williamson, Ericks, Machinery Row, etc., but I'm curious which ones have good selection, service, etc.  Anyone care to share their bike-buying stories?

  • The last bike I got was a Trek from someone who actually worked at Trek. There are Trek stores on both the East and West side though.

  • We bought ours at Machinery Row Bicycle. We ended up buying Treks, but they have lots of brands there. I really like that they allow you to take the bikes on a test drive on the bicycle path down by the lake. I thought the salespeople were quite knowledgeable (although it was sometimes hard to tell who worked there and who was just there shopping). They have a great service/repair shop there too.
  • So, I ended up going to Budget Bicycles on Regent.  I spent a little more than I was thinking I would, but I ended up with a very nice Giant bike.  We have a trailer for Sophia, too.  I can't wait to get out on the trails this summer!
