In today's age of disposable everything, BIci Centro is a great place to recycle and keep your rig on the road. My old free cruiser needed a wheel rebuild due to breaking spokes. It was either buy a cheap one on amazon from China, or get the parts and rebuild. It took me a couple hours to re assemble with some help from YouTube, but with the help from Bici's helpful staff to get the right parts, i got it done and have a wheel im proud of. Great source for 2nd hand bikes and parts.

John was above and beyond amazing! He rode my son to school for bike to school day so my son can participate. My son was over the moon- he had the best experience!

Bici Centro was really great! Even though I did not even up getting my bike here, the guy at Bici Centro showed me a bunch of different bikes and gave me really good tips on how to pick one that fit my height, experience, and cycling needs. While I was hanging out around the area, the other bike experts who were waiting to get their bike fixed also gave good tips too, which made me feel like I was surrounded by a friendly community of bikers.

Brought two older steel Bianchi's here. They took really really good care of both of them. Good rates, and quick turnaround. Thank you!

Really awesome! Glad to see such a great co-op. What would people do if their bikes didn't work?

Found the bike of my dreams at this shop, a 1971 vintage Raleigh international which just happened to fit me perfectly. While there I bought a seat bag for a extremely reasonable $5 from a box that had another sb and a frame mounted bag. Got home to Reseda and realized I should have bought the other 2, the green frame bag actually matched the bike. The folks at Bici Centro actually packed and mailed them to my house without having even received payment. Great crew, good vibe, would highly recommend!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!! Waited like 45 minutes while the staff proceeded to help there preferred gender and race, then was asked if my family needed any help sitting outside on there wooden dock, like we were talking up space. Then was over charged for some old beach cruiser rims. If you’re white and a woman you should have no problem, anyone else, prepare to feel discriminated!!!!

I'm not sure where this place gets their bikes, but my stolen bike somehow ended up here. We took our bikes up from San Diego and stayed overnight at a hotel In Santa Barbara. In the middle of the night, the surveillance video captured a male stealing my bike and now a couple months later it has ended up here. We filed a police report and never recovered the bike until now. I recognize the bike because it's a rare model and was customized. Be careful what you purchase here and check to make sure the deal you're getting is not stolen merchandise. Buyer beware.

I brought my bike in to repair and ending up fixing a whole assortment of issues I didn't know exist. Just bring it in and it's $5/hour to learn from the tech. Love the bike education concept and self-service with help. One of my favorite things about Santa Barbara is this bike community and how much resources they provide to the SB community. Keep it up!
