“This is more of an aside. My husband and I were taking a short trip when he wanted to stop and get air in the tires. Traffic was heavy, and the gas stations nearby didn’t look like they had air pumps. We stopped at Bridgeworks, and the gentleman working generously offered to help us. It may be a small gesture, but he took the time to provide a service we needed.
The next time I need a tire or tires, I will buy them here.”

“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.”
“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.”
“The epitome of the friendly local bike shop! Super-knowledgable staff, quick turnaround, totally fair prices.
Multiple times in the past decade I've dropped in with a minor issue and they fixed it on the spot, in and out in five minutes. I can't recommend them enough!”
“A big thank you to Trek Castro Valley! I had to make a couple visits to get what I needed and each time the service was top notch. Bogdan assisted me each time and he was able to get my questions answered and get me dialed in! Thank you!”
“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!”
“I went to Gaelan after years of riding with pain and thinking it was normal. Not only did he fit me he helped me order the right bike and built it up for me with a few additional changes I wanted to make. A few weeks after getting the bike I did ALC AND I’m in awe of how my body felt each day and after the 560mi week. Easily best fit etc I’ve ever had. Being faster was also a plus. I’ve been going to him for all things big and small with the bike. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with.”
“The search is over!
After visiting countless bike shops across multiple states in search of the perfect e-bike, we finally found exactly what we were looking for at Castro Valley Cyclery. John and Kyle are absolute professionals! They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuine. They made the entire e-bike buying process seamless and low-pressure,
We ended up purchasing two Velotric Discover M's, and we couldn't be happier. If you want to support a shop that actually cares about its customers and knows their stuff inside and out, go see John and Kyle. They’ve earned a customer for life!”
“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 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.”
“Had to take my Ebike here since my regular mechanic is out of town but WOW! Outstanding service and great prices. I had an accident and needed a quick emergency repair. They handled it in less than 12 hours and the mechanic was very professional and kind. Really excellent shop I highly recommend!”

“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.”
“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!”
“Scott helped me navigate a very frustrating tire warranty issue. He was readily available, investigated the issue thoroughly, and helped me get back on the bike as quickly as possible, including giving me a spare wheel. I’m not sure where I’d be without his technical expertise and drive to help me figure out the issues.”

“We had a great experience renting bikes from Westside Joe’s during our first visit to Alameda! Vivian’s was amazing with so many helpful tips and feedback during our day trip to our future home. We can’t wait to come back, rent again and buy bikes from her.”
“I love this local gem. The service is top notch and the staff are pretty great. I got my bike fixed here (like car maintenance but for bikes). I got my brakes done here ... and they also sell some good accessories.
It's definitely a great store and the customer service is amazing.
I thought the price was pretty fair as well. I mean for parts and labor it wasn't too bad in my opinion. They also provide options and give suggestions so it didn't feel like they were trying to rip me off.”
“Best bike shop around don't waste your time and money going anywhere else I had a. Few things on my bike that need to be fix and they fix ed them on time and on my budget I could not be any happyer”
