Bicycle Shops near Lafayette, CA

“Sam was incredible and listened to what I needed for a commuting bike. He was able to install the saddle seat I wanted and gave great suggestions. He made sure I had everything I needed to be safe and care for my bike. Great service and selection!”

“We’ve had a great experience with Sharp Bicycle Shop in Lafayette. We bought a Trek bike last year and immediately appreciated the way they do business, including the two years of service they offered. That experience brought us back to buy a second Trek, and they delivered again.

Matt and Sally clearly care about their shop and their customers, and Devlin, their bike mechanic, was fantastic.

They were great at measuring for size, kept things fun, helped us dial in the right seat height and fit, and even made the color choice easy.
We’ll keep coming back because they are honest, friendly, and knowledgeable.”

“I like the way i feel here whenever i stop in. The gents provided another solution so I spend more time in the saddle than behind the wheel. Their experience saved me time and money again.”

“When I had a problem with my recently purchased e-bike, a staff member came to my home to fix it because transporting the e-bike would have been very challenging. 10/10 service!”

“I can't say that they will do this for everybody because that may place unrealistic expectations on them for labor time, but I called at 1, brought my bike in at 2:30 and had it out same day (albeit 2 hours after closing) when I needed my brake bled. I did give them a good reason for putting a rush on it but they even let me come behind the counter so I could see the process. Amazing experience and friendly staff.”

“I just turned on to the Contra Costa Canal Trail North end when one of my pedals fell off!
Fortunately for me, Big Dave's Bike Shop was further down by the Gregory Lane crossing 4 miles away and I had a Class 2 throttle on my eBike and didn't have to walk it..
One new pedal crank arm and I was one my way in just a few minutes!”

“Monty Brown
Dropped in to discuss a tire problem, Marcus jumped on my wheel like a tour mechanic, promptly trying to see what was going on. Was able to spoon on one tire with difficulty, but there was something not quite right with them? Using the Trek TLR system for tubeless tires the brand I'd bought wasn't easy, if even possible to use with TLR. Opted to buy two new Maxxis hoops which Marcas had mounted with sealant and aired up before I could say thank you!”

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Carries a large inventory and answered all of my questions. Great customer service and fixed my bike without an appointment even though they were very busy.”

“Since I bought a e-bike from the New Wheel I have been nothing but happy with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff at the The New Wheel. Kansas, Jacob, Robert, and Elan at the Leimert Ave shop are super knowledgable, patient, and kind. Ditto with the service center staff in SF. I can't recommend this shop enough if you are considering buying an e-bike.”

“Great bike shop! They also have a good repair team and a surprisingly good selection of bike accessories for a small space. And like all the best bike shops, they're very community-minded. I love having them in the neighborhood!”

“Went there with Alex to purchase two Penny Farthings for his San Jose bike shop. He bought a silver and black one. We loaded it in his beat up green rusty old van. It was a spilritual experience. Greg was humble, fair. Gave us a discount on the black because it was very slightly used and the silver one (I think was made of stainless steel). Alex enlisted me to help him because I had a little experience riding scrappy original Penny Farthings in the Antelope Valley in Lancaster Fair parades and in Rosamond at the Tropico Gold Mine Chili contests.”

“The biggest in stock selection of Smith sunglasses I found in the area. It was great to be able to try a few different models instead of ordering them online hoping they would fit me.
The staff was very helpful and didn’t rush me through trying them on.
Bought a pair of the Smith Ruckus and love them!”

“This was the first bicycle shop I visited when I first moved to Oakland back in 2014. Charlie was always helpful and a life saver during times in need. I'm not really in the area to go here anymore, but your bicycle can and will be serviced!”

“Easily the most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had with a bike shop. I worked with John to purchase a new bike, and he was absolutely incredible every step of the way. He has such a wealth of knowledge and helped me dial in everything to build up a new bike – frame selection, components, fit, riding style. John was very communicative the entire time, pricing was super fair, and I could not be happier with my bike and the whole process of getting to this point.”

“I had ordered a replacement tube online, but had trouble removing the tire from the rim and needed some help. This was late afternoon on a Saturday and I believe the owner was there working on another project, but he was very friendly and took the time to accommodate us and repaired the tire while we waited and at at a very reasonable rate. We will definitely be visiting pegasus bike shop again for future repairs and purchases. Highly recommended!”

“I'd been looking for my next road bike for a little while and settled on a Factor Ostro VAM. I'm somewhat familiar with the brand and just needed to find a bike shop to work with for my order. I of course went to the Factor website but wanted to see if I might be able to get a better deal on the bike. Checking the list of shops on Factor's website didn't give me a bike in my size in inventory so I continued looking online. I came across Beyond Aero and started checking out reviews and things. Psychotically, I even used google maps to view the street the store is on - just to make sure things were ok! Fortunately, Andres has a number of great reviews so that put me at ease. I knew I wanted the Ostro VAM and I was keen for Beyond Aero's build using Zipp wheels so I emailed the shop. Andres was quick to respond. He's also very patient as I submitted a tonne of questions about the build, sizing, possible swaps, and all sorts of things. Each time Andres responded promptly and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. Unfortunately, Andres didn't have the integrated handlebar/stem combo I was looking for so we agreed a price reflecting that and we made the deal. Andres has built up the bike as far as he can and it's now winging its way to me. I'm beyond excited (get it?) for the bike to arrive and thank Andres so much for putting up with all of my questions and indecision. I do wish I'd been able to visit the shop to more fully experience the buying process but maybe I'll get out there one day. As it stands, a 56cm white/chrome Ostro Vam with Sram Force AXS, power meter, and Zipp 404s is heading my way right now! Thank you again Andres!5/8 Update. The bike arrived very well packed. I had a bit of building to do since I wanted a different handlebar setup so just got all of that done. My build is:56cm Factor Ostro VAM in pearl white and chromeSram force axs with quark power meterZipp 404 wheelsBlack inc aero integrated stem and handlebarPirelli P zero 28mil tubeless tire setupSella Italia SLRMy bike has the cycliq fly 6 camera on the back - don’t waste your time with that until the battery can last more than 2 hours!I’ve only ridden the bike up and down the street but it feels solid and everything is rolling smoothly. Thank you again, Andres!8/17: Another update! I took advantage of a sale BA was having and got some new bling for my road bike. I originally had the Sram Force AXS groupset but upgraded. You can see from the pics I didn't stretch for the crankset though - I'm not Bill Gates! Anyway, the groupset arrived and was straight forward to install using a few online videos. I needed to buy a cable routing tool - about $15 on Amazon, and you need a brake bleed kit but I dad one so all good there. The kit is chromed on the brake calipers and levers, then mostly blacked out for the rest of the components which suits my white Factor Ostro VAM with Chrome logos quite nicely. Shifting is smooth and quiet except for the chain's noise which you would get with all groupsets. Shifting is intuitive with my setup being the right lever shifts to a higher gear and the left lever shifting to a lower gear - different from the mechanical setup but perhaps more logical. I can't speak to feeling a weight difference - I'm not that much of a weight weenie - but there is a psychological affect to having Sram's top groupset on your bike. Does the upgrade make me faster? Probably not. But does the upgrade make me feel faster? Absolutely! Call it superficial if you want but I like it! All-in-all, I'm very pleased with the purchase and Andres made it super simple to order, as always. Thanks Andres!”

“Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. The service team is super pro and helpful. Their selection of products is good. They will help special order parts you need that are not in stock. Highly recommended.”

“Doug converted two comfort bikes for us in 2016. We have almost 4000 miles on both. We have had only very minor problems with the bikes. We now live in Oregon but we still consult Doug whenever we have questions. He has been very good at responding to any questions and giving his advice. We are really happy with his service. We highly recommend him.”

“Josh is the best! My wife needed new road bike shoes as her Sidis never fitted her well. When we walked in we were welcomed by Josh who took so much time explaining the ins and outs of each shoe. We never felt pressured, all in all this was such a very positive experience! Thank you Josh”

“EXELENTE!

The best bike mechanics you can find. I was about to buy a new rim for my bike but they were able to help me straighten the rim, and they've been working on my bike since then. I'm very grateful and happy to have found them. They're all great!”

“Mike was amazing!!!! My husband had a project on his bike changing his axel and working on his back cassette, and required parts and advice. Encino bikes was a valuable asset to his task. Mikes customer Service and knowledge was over the top. Encino bikes Walnut Creek will always be our go to for anything to do with Bikes. Thanks again for all you do!!!!”
