“We made a spontaneous decision to come over to Bainbridge from Seattle without a plan and found we couldn’t “just rent a bike” to get around. We stumbled upon the Classic Cycle and one of the owners Jamie who helped us feel welcomed and gave us the absolute perfect gift of time to help us get the most out of our brief visit here. We love stumbling upon this kind of hospitality and imagine everyone would be so lucky waking into their bike shop. Thank you Jamie!!”
“I purchased a second-hand electric bicycle from this store, and could not be more pleased with how the entire thing went. To cut a long story short, I've used the bike every day since I bought it.
The owner of this shop is simply awesome - extremely legit as a mechanic, and not trying to upsell you on something you don't want. He pulled out the bike he was pretty sure I would want, let me noodle around on some of the other bikes so I was also sure he was right, then customised that bike to be the most comfortable version of itself for me. He fixed a couple of little things that weren't working, and put a new seat and seat-pole on. He even moved the electric computer into KM per hour for me, which is something little I hadn't thought of but which has made a big difference to me in actually riding around.
Everything on my bike has clearly been properly and carefully serviced over its lifetime. The bike comes with literal free service for the next year, and any customer can appreciate that klind of confidence by an owner in his own skill. My bike is second hand, but it might as well be new.
His range of accessories are exactly what you're after, so once you've realised this is the guy you want to buy a bike from, it's a good idea to grab what you need. I bought the normal things, a helmet (range of sizes and shapes), a bike-lock (which he fixed to the bike seat for me), some bike bags, (which are frankly game-changing), and he took the time to show me how everything worked and set them up so I can just clip them straight onto the bike and go.
I could go on and on about how much I love the bike and how great everything was, it was just a great experience and he's a nice man, lots of knowledge and skill, local shop. This is the right shop to make such a big purchase from, I highly recommend it to everyone.”
“100 precent recommended. Came in to fix my longboard, they were very kind the whole time and I even ended up buying an additional longboard from here. We found a multitude of problems with my longboard and they fixed them all and were very professional, kind, and patient. Absolutely go here if you have problems with your longboard, great prices and 10/10 service”
“My 16 year old and I rented bikes from Bainbridge Bike Co this past week and had the best day of all our Seattle vacation days riding along the South Loop route. The customer service from everyone at the store was top-notch, fully-set us up with knowing the route and gave us great equipment. Highly recommend Bainbridge Bike Co. if you are looking for a great adventure on Bainbridge.”
