    Dan and the staff are awesome, very involved in the biking and outdoor community, and they throw a great customer appreciation party every year, along with sponsoring the BANFF Mountain Film Festival and having the best SAG stop for the annual Octoginta bike ride! Great service, a great selection of bicycles, bicycle gear, outdoor clothing, camping gear, kayaks and kayak gear, climbing gear, frisbee discs, and other great stuff. It's a great shop with great people and a great vibe!

    Sunflower is more than just a bike shop. It is an institution that both caters to serious cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as getting people hooked on the outdoors. And they take pride in the beauty that Kansas offers while being on a bike or camping, hiking, etc.

    I've only been to a few bicycle shops, but this is by far the best. I've come by when I had trouble with my front derailleur and it was adjusted in a minute at no cost.

    ... They are very transparent about what needs to be done and the cost before signing off. Additionally, all the employees are active in biking and are able to provide first hand advice about what to buy if you aren't certain, while not being pushy.

    This is always my first stop if I am looking for bike, outdoor clothing and camping stuff. They have a knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff. I have had my bike worked on at their shop on numerous occasions and I have always been satisfied with the results. I have also bought some travel and outdoor clothes here. We our lucky to have this store in our town.
