Bicycle Shops in Palo Alto, CA

“Tom at Velo Tech is awesome! He is super friendly and super knowledgeable. I trust him with my 2007 Pinarello. He upgraded my components and it rides like a new bike. Thanks Tom”

“I have always had a great experience and appreciate the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff at Mike's Bikes PA.

Sharing my most recent experience; I walked in less than half hour before closing, expecting to drop off my wheel and leave it for a few days for a spoke replacement. Max offered an alternate spoke option that was available in-store (exact replacement spoke would have to be ordered and take a week) and he offered to fix it immediately and stayed a few minutes past closing time to finish it. I really appreciate the extra effort and offering me the option. It would have been reasonable to me to leave it for a few days, so he definitely went above and beyond!”

“Fantastic bike rental. My 10 yr old son and I rented two road bikes for 24 hrs, which they extended for free to give us in effect two days cycling. Bikes were superb quality and in perfect condition. The guys in the shop couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Website also has great suggestions for local rides. Really highly recommended.”

“I purchased a Specialized commuter from now-closed Menlo Velo (RIP) less than two years ago. About three weeks ago I noticed a failed weld on the frame. I called Palo Alto Cycles and they instructed me to no longer ride that bike , as it could potentially break mid-ride. I brought the bike in and Christian worked his magic to get Specialized to honor the two-year warranty and ship me a new bike. The shop did a great job building the new bike and transferring components from my old bike. They even replaced the break components since Specialized had sent a bit of a lemon break-wise (they leaked). Christian and the guys at Palo Alto Cycles went above and beyond with the new bike , and may have even saved my life with their advice to not ride the broken bike. Hats off to them. Honestly I was very impressed with their service.”

“I just brought home a Trek FX 2 Disk Stagger Gen 3 from Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto. Alain was great. He lifted multiple bikes off of an upper rack for me to try out. He let me ride each one. Alain wanted to make sure that I was getting the bike that felt just right to me. He was so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I bought it around 4:30 pm on a Monday. I had some things I wanted added to the bike and I wanted different tires. Alain told me the bike would be ready the next day, Tuesday, in the afternoon. I told him the traffic would be terrible in the afternoon and that Wednesday morning would be fine with me. He surprised me and got the bike ready for pickup on Tuesday at 11:30 am. Such fantastic customer service! I couldn't be happier. I would really recommend Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto.”

“Our bike would ghost shift or disengage from a gear altogether, and the guys at Cardinal Bike Shop helped us out yesterday with a quick repair at a reasonable price. Thank you!”
