It is a great shop. Just go in and tell them what you want to do on the bike and they will point you in the right direction. I bought my Beginner bike there and then upgraded later. They have provided great service.
Yes. The major brands they sell are Trek and Cannondale, but there are other brands. The advantage of buying from BP is that they only stock quality. As far as best beginner bike, that depends on purpose (Mountain, Road, Commuting). If you have a good idea of what you're looking for, talk to the shop. If not then I'd take a look at something like a Trek Marlin. Have fun! It's a great shop .
