UPDATE: South Mountain Cycles has SOLD and they are Global Bikes now (the following review is obsolete).
I personally have purchased 3 bikes from South Mountain Cycles and through clients another 16 bikes in the previous 3 years. They carry the best bicycle product line available today in the bike market (“Specialized”) which is SMC’s finest quality. In addition, SMC has fairly aggressive on-going price reductions as well on a variety of bike models throughout the year, making them a good place to pick up a new bike.
However, their good points end here! Their service is consistently incompetent! I personally don’t enjoy taking a product back for the same basic problem more the once and this is a consistent on going problem experienced by dozens of people associated with StrengthLab, as well as myself. Rather, I recommend going to Landis in (south) Tempe for improved competence in service! When looking for value in accessories and clothes SMC continues to fall short… they’re simply over priced. I recommend using Performance Bikes in Tempe for best dollar value in accessories, clothes and parts.
South Mountain Cycles overall Grade: C-

Television worth watching: http://bostonmed.abcnews.go.com/
Boston Med picks up where the Peabody Award-winning Hopkins left off, going even deeper into the lives of caregivers and the cutting edge medical cases they confront inside the walls of America’s top hospitals. In this original eight-hour series, the unforgettable stories of doctors, nurses and patients are adeptly woven to give each hour the pace and intensity of a drama. Whether it’s the young resident in crisis doubting that she’s good enough to become a Harvard-trained doctor, or the deployed soldier’s pregnant wife praying for a miracle surgery to save her baby, Boston Med is sure to touch your heart.
Filmed over four months at Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women’s, and Children’s Hospital Boston, this powerfully real series breaks new ground in the documentary landscape. Meet the charismatic Hollywood producer before either he or the filmmakers realize that, through a twist of fate, his face will be transplanted onto a Vietnam veteran badly scarred in an accident. The second face transplant performed in this country and the first anywhere to be so extensively filmed, this operation involved two dozen surgeons and up to a hundred additional doctors and nurses. It’s a stunning example of both the high caliber medicine and the unprecedented and unique access captured by the filmmakers in Boston Med.

Uhmmm… maybe customers who purchase this product can be given a free bowflex to use with it.
Drink plain water… and save your money for something useful.
