“I’ll never go anywhere else!
I moved down here two years ago and hadn’t found a bike shop. Asked a friend for a recommendation and he told me this was the place.
I went in there yesterday, nice gentlemen greets me and asks me what’s up. I tell him I haven’t had my bike touched in two years, don’t know much about bikes beyond barely knowing how to ride one, been riding a lot and am doing a triathlon in 2 weeks, just want a tune up. He puts it up and is taking a look while talking to me.
Ultimately he tells me “your bike is in great shape, I wouldn’t touch it. Buy some of this, after your race clean up the chain etc (walks me thru all the steps) but that’s all you need, you’re ready to crush.” I thanked him profusely, bought the spray cleaner and left.
When you tell someone you don’t know anything and are ready to pay him money and he tells you not to, you know you’re in great hands. Customer for life!”
“I’m visiting from out of town and Efrain helped me quickly and efficiently when I needed help with my bike! Also having an adorable friendly dog in the bike shop was a huge plus :)”
“Solé in Encinitas is such a cool shop. The interior aesthetics alone makes you want to hang out for a bit, and the whole place has that effortless coastal vibe. The bikes strike a great balance between modern and vintage 70s style, which feels perfectly on brand for Encinitas.
I brought my bike in for a tune up and was seriously impressed. Matt walked me through the tweaks and adjustments he made in a way that actually made sense. As someone who doesn’t do much of my own bike maintenance, I really appreciated that approach. The attention to detail was next level, and after thousands of miles on this bike it honestly feels better than ever.
Great shop, great vibe, great people!
I haven’t bought a bike from them yet, but after this experience and checking out the bikes, my next one will definitely be from Solé. Highly recommend!”
“I have been bringing my E-Bike here for several years now and Jeff always takes care of me; whether it’s picking up Bike/dropping off or telling me upfront what service needs to happen. I know my E-Bike is taken care of when I have them service it. Thank you Jeff!”
“So we originally purchased 2 bikes 2021. I did an upgrade to a bigger beach cruiser in 2023. We absolutely love our bikes! More importantly the service after the purchase has been incredible! ! We just brought in my bike because it had a cable damaged from a fall from our truck.Mason who is absolutely amazing took care of not only the broken cable but checked everything else to make sure it was performing smoothly. GREAT service Mason!”
“BEAUTIFUL LOOKING STORE ! Good to see Trek moved on from the very small store up the road to this huge location. I can't even remember what used to be here. My wife and I were riding our Trek Verve+ 3 hybrid eBikes on Hwy 101 through coastal Encinitas on Wednesday afternoon. We knew the Trek store that took over the Nytro Multisport site early in 2022 had closed months ago...gee it wasn't open long. I'm sure it proved way too small to be a viable location. My wife has been pointing out this new store closer to Philz Coffee for weeks so I thought it was time to have a look inside. A friendly Trek employee greeted me the moment I stepped through the front entrance. I asked how long they have been open...2 months was his reply. The interior looks really great....like a warehouse size space with lots of color. We bought our Trek Verve + 3 eBikes at the San Marcos store which is quite a way from our home in Solana Beach. In fact the customer service there is so professional that we take our eBikes there for regular servicing rather than the Solana Beach location. We will have to think about this location !”
