Bicycle Shops in Pasadena, CA

“My husband and I love to go to this store! The bikes are top notch and easy to daydream having them all. I got a pair of road bike shoes at a great price and at check-out they discounted them more based on a promotion. But THE BEST part is the friendly, knowledgable staff. They make sure you have been helped and never pressure for a sale. They let the quality merchandise and bike lovers inherent love of all things bikes do the selling! Of course if you have a question, they will help and make recommendations.”

“The team at Open Trails is the best! I have bought three e-bikes from them over the years and have found them to be knowledgable and friendly. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other bike shops in the area, and they have a great selection. Highly recommend!”

“I'm a fan of this shop for their laid back culture, which feels more accessible to me than a couple of other bike shops around town & have frequented it over the past few years when I need more than minor things done on my bikes. They have been able to do the work & prices have been reasonable. These days they request you book an appointment online vs just showing up.”

“Amazing bike shop! Wanted a push bike for 2 yr old and bike with training wheels for 4 year old granddaughters. Not only did they have both in pink, in stock in boxes, they are putting them together for us right now! Can’t say enough about this place. This shop might be small but they had everything we wanted after being to two other shops. Super reasonable prices too!”

“I recently signed up for my first-ever Olympic distance triathlon and brought my bike to Pasadena Cyclery for a Level 1 Service package. This was my first time getting my bike tuned professionally, as I’ve been doing my own bike repairs for the last ten years. The Level 1 Service, priced at $125, included a full tune-up: everything torqued, aligned, and adjusted—brakes, shifting, headset, hubs, bottom bracket, bolts, frame wipe-down, tire inflation, lubrication, and a minor wheel true. They were upfront about the need for new brake pads, cables, and bar tape with gel pads, which I appreciated. The itemized receipt is attached to this review.

I dropped off my bike on Tuesday, and they had it ready by Thursday—perfect timing for the event on Saturday. The cables were installed neatly, and the shifting worked better than it had in years. The bar tape was applied more expertly and perfectly than I could ever do myself. Their communication and professionalism really stood out, and I felt confident heading into my triathlon knowing my bike was in great shape. I had a super fun time on my bike, charging through rolling hills.

Since then, I’ve been so stoked on riding that one of my rear wheel spokes broke today. After ten years of riding on it, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Luckily, I have the time to fix it myself, but if I were under a time crunch, I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my bike back to Pasadena Cyclery again. Getting my bike tuned professionally is an occasional luxury that’s absolutely worth it.

Update: unfortunately someone stole my bike in front of the Caltech Gym entrance 10/17 between 6:40pm-7pm so I don’t have a bike to bring in for repair anymore :(”

“I came here to get my cycling shoes realigned. They were having a BBQ on the 4th of July. It was pretty cool. Family friendly. I even took my little frenchie. Lots and lots of really nice bikes for the whole family and cool gear.”

“Extremely honest proprietors, extremely kind, extremely friendly. These guys didn't have the size spoke wrench that I needed in stock, so they sold me their own shop tool. Kind and sincere folks, what can I say.It warms the heart to have people like this around..”

“My wahoo speed play pedal body decide to unattach itself from the spindle while I was out for a ride. Came in and Dermany was awesome in helping me find a new set and having them install. Fast and great service.”
