“Manager Steve was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in assisting my son with his first BMX bike purchase. He explained componentry, manufacturer history and reputation, size options and everything else pertinent to the decision. My son and I felt lucky to have received Steve's advice and assistance. Quality shop, good people.”

“Very professional. I had a warranty issue with my bike and the sharp store did an amazing job . They filed papers , they advocated for me, they received all the new parts , installed and did not charge me a penny . I strongly recommend this business .”

“A 10 out of 10. Took in my beat-up road bike for a tune up. They took it so seriously, made lots of sensible recommendations on what would / wouldn't be worth to fix. Great communication, too. Now my bike runs smooth as ever. Absolutely awesome, thank you!”

“Great local shop. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. Great bike selection. The employee's were really nice and answered any questions our 13 year old had.”

“I've been going to this place for years. Over the top service and amazingly the same clientele for the most part. That says a lot about an establishment and a service truly does speak for itself. I really have no reason to go anywhere else. It's so wonderful to keep it local. I love the trails here off road and on road and I'm an avid bicyclist myself. So wonderful to have somewhere this close to home and when I'm out and about and need emergency service. Thank you David for your top notch service and for all the other names I haven't committed to memory yet.”

“Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Was not a huge Trek brand fan until I met these guys. I still love the dirty/cluttered old school bike shops in the area but happy to have the trek shop in town. They know their stuff and are very knowledgeable about what they sell. Prices are in line with other shops in the area. Check them out, you will be happy.”

“The crew at cycle city is fantastic. Always happy to help with even basic questions. Quick, reasonable and very competent service. O highly recommend Cycle City to purchase or service your bike!”

“Came in here to get my parents an introduction to ebikes, as they had never been on one before. The customer service was excellent! The selection was very good, the staff made sure to ask thoughtful questions about their use cases, limitations, wants, and needs and were open and honest about the capabilities--and limitations--of each model. They also did a staff-guided test ride, something that has not been my experience with other bike shops.”

“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.”

“This is going to be my new go to bike shop, FOR SURE! I called Laurel Cyclery and Jason answered the phone. I was asking him about a bike stem spacer and he said to bring it down to have a look. I brought it in and within LESS than 10 minutes he added a spacer for me, showed me how to do it for future work, and didn’t charge an insane amount for ANY of it at all. I just took my bike on a ride this morning and the fit is absolutely PERF!! Jason is THE BOMB!! ☺️ I can’t wait to go back. I wish I could give Jason 20 stars on this!”

“I really like this bike shop. I've had him a just one of my bikes and assemble another one. It's such a treat being able to pop into a local shop and know that they stand behind their work.He used to do competitive writing and taught me a more efficient way to peddle. Who knew? Well they did.I really like this place, it's my go-to bike shop when I want to go.”

“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.”

“Trek Bicycle Oakland helped me change a tire in a pinch! My front tire on my cargo bike went flat just as it started to rain. Worse, I had my toddler with me. The shop helped me in less than 20 minutes for a very reasonable price. Great service.”

“Great local bike shop in our community. Bought a SE BMX bike for my 6 year old at a great price. Tired of junky kids bikes from Walmart or Target then try this shop. Owner mentioned he has had his own bike shop for over 20 years and has been selling bikes for over 30.”

“i had a great experience here! i recently purchased a used bike and brought it here for a tune up. one cool thing they do is allow you to authorize repairs under a certain amount. in my case i asked for a tune up, flat repair, and anything else that needed to be done under $200. i'm really pleased with the repairs, but even more happy with how i was treated. when i picked up the bike i needed to fit it in the back of my trunk, and one of the folks from the bikery spent about 15 minutes showing me how to take off the front wheel and put it back on in order to fit it in my car. they took the time to speak with me, educate me, and made sure i was confident with how to put the wheel back on before sending me off. lovely people!!”

“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!”

“I bought my Specialized levo mountain bike at Encina bicycles shop. They are connected with Clayton bicycle center. Both places are fantastic. The store service people are very friendly and very knowledgeable. I especially want to thank Jeff and Joey. Those guys are awesome and they let me try out different bikes to get a feel first. When you buy a specialized mountain bike they cover the service labor cost. I had my first service done at the Clayton bicycle shop and they did a fantastic job. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. It was the first ebike I've ever purchased. I have back, neck and knee issues so they guided me to a full suspension e-bike, which was definitely the way to go for me. I can finally get some mobility and freedom, while exercising easier with less pain. Remember to ask if there are any specials going on and you could get a good discount. Also take advantage of the Contra Costa County Ebike rebate on 511.org contra costa county to save some additional money on your ebike purchase.”

“George and the rest of the Alameda Bicycle team are phenomenal. Alameda Bicycle maintains a fantastic selection of bikes for people of all ages and riding styles. They also have an unmatchable selection of top-tier bike accessories that is very well maintained. My only criticism is that their store is so nice that it can be almost intimidating to walk in, but their staff is there to help make your experience perfect.”

“Michael was great in helping to inform my purchase decisions (wheels, tires, and rotor breaks). He also went above and beyond to make sure the bicycle was properly set up with the new equipment and made sure I left the store with information to address any safety concerns. Top notch service!”
