“This is a professionally run neighborhood bike shop. They did a fantastic job with my Lectric XPress, communicating with me and with Lectric throughout. I'll be a regular customer.”
“My son just bought a new mountain bike here and we were extremely impressed by our experience with Adam and Scott. They truly know how to treat customers and they were super knowledgeable and patient. Thank you both for exceeding our expectations!”
“My son ran over some thorns and ended up w a flat. Called them the day before Thanksgiving Day to check their hours and see if they could take care of our flat. Drove right on over & they ended up fixing my flat and filled both tires up w slime and took care of us in about 15-20mins. Great customer service and good advice for my son that's just getting into riding his bike w his buddies. I'm super grateful to have found them on yelp! My dad could've helped us but I opted to give him the day off before the holidays! Thank you guys! Super thankful. Happy Thanksgiving”
“Purchase your bikes here. Lifetime yearly tuneups and just in time service. As I was riding out I hit a bad sidewalk and popped the tire. Walked it back to the shop. They did a quick tube replacement and set me back on the road. Thanks for the great service.”
“Excellent customer service and honest communication. I don’t come in often, but they make me feel like a long time customer anyway. Thank you Jesse and sorry for the headache;) Highly recommended.”
“I bought my Specialized levo mountain bike at Encina bicycles shop. They are connected with Clayton bicycle center. Both places are fantastic. The store service people are very friendly and very knowledgeable. I especially want to thank Jeff and Joey. Those guys are awesome and they let me try out different bikes to get a feel first. When you buy a specialized mountain bike they cover the service labor cost. I had my first service done at the Clayton bicycle shop and they did a fantastic job. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. It was the first ebike I've ever purchased. I have back, neck and knee issues so they guided me to a full suspension e-bike, which was definitely the way to go for me. I can finally get some mobility and freedom, while exercising easier with less pain. Remember to ask if there are any specials going on and you could get a good discount. Also take advantage of the Contra Costa County Ebike rebate on 511.org contra costa county to save some additional money on your ebike purchase.”
“Great local bike shop in our community. Bought a SE BMX bike for my 6 year old at a great price. Tired of junky kids bikes from Walmart or Target then try this shop. Owner mentioned he has had his own bike shop for over 20 years and has been selling bikes for over 30.”
“I'd been looking for my next road bike for a little while and settled on a Factor Ostro VAM. I'm somewhat familiar with the brand and just needed to find a bike shop to work with for my order. I of course went to the Factor website but wanted to see if I might be able to get a better deal on the bike. Checking the list of shops on Factor's website didn't give me a bike in my size in inventory so I continued looking online. I came across Beyond Aero and started checking out reviews and things. Psychotically, I even used google maps to view the street the store is on - just to make sure things were ok! Fortunately, Andres has a number of great reviews so that put me at ease. I knew I wanted the Ostro VAM and I was keen for Beyond Aero's build using Zipp wheels so I emailed the shop. Andres was quick to respond. He's also very patient as I submitted a tonne of questions about the build, sizing, possible swaps, and all sorts of things. Each time Andres responded promptly and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. Unfortunately, Andres didn't have the integrated handlebar/stem combo I was looking for so we agreed a price reflecting that and we made the deal. Andres has built up the bike as far as he can and it's now winging its way to me. I'm beyond excited (get it?) for the bike to arrive and thank Andres so much for putting up with all of my questions and indecision. I do wish I'd been able to visit the shop to more fully experience the buying process but maybe I'll get out there one day. As it stands, a 56cm white/chrome Ostro Vam with Sram Force AXS, power meter, and Zipp 404s is heading my way right now! Thank you again Andres!5/8 Update. The bike arrived very well packed. I had a bit of building to do since I wanted a different handlebar setup so just got all of that done. My build is:56cm Factor Ostro VAM in pearl white and chromeSram force axs with quark power meterZipp 404 wheelsBlack inc aero integrated stem and handlebarPirelli P zero 28mil tubeless tire setupSella Italia SLRMy bike has the cycliq fly 6 camera on the back - don’t waste your time with that until the battery can last more than 2 hours!I’ve only ridden the bike up and down the street but it feels solid and everything is rolling smoothly. Thank you again, Andres!8/17: Another update! I took advantage of a sale BA was having and got some new bling for my road bike. I originally had the Sram Force AXS groupset but upgraded. You can see from the pics I didn't stretch for the crankset though - I'm not Bill Gates! Anyway, the groupset arrived and was straight forward to install using a few online videos. I needed to buy a cable routing tool - about $15 on Amazon, and you need a brake bleed kit but I dad one so all good there. The kit is chromed on the brake calipers and levers, then mostly blacked out for the rest of the components which suits my white Factor Ostro VAM with Chrome logos quite nicely. Shifting is smooth and quiet except for the chain's noise which you would get with all groupsets. Shifting is intuitive with my setup being the right lever shifts to a higher gear and the left lever shifting to a lower gear - different from the mechanical setup but perhaps more logical. I can't speak to feeling a weight difference - I'm not that much of a weight weenie - but there is a psychological affect to having Sram's top groupset on your bike. Does the upgrade make me faster? Probably not. But does the upgrade make me feel faster? Absolutely! Call it superficial if you want but I like it! All-in-all, I'm very pleased with the purchase and Andres made it super simple to order, as always. Thanks Andres!”

The staff was very helpful and didn’t rush me through trying them on.
Bought a pair of the Smith Ruckus and love them!”
“Kent, the owner of California Ebikes, is the utmost professional, courteous and down to earth guy in the business. If you want a custom made bike or just parts, look no further. He is an excellent source of knowledge, because heknows what he is doing. No one can compare and you won't be disappointed!!”
“Doug converted two comfort bikes for us in 2016. We have almost 4000 miles on both. We have had only very minor problems with the bikes. We now live in Oregon but we still consult Doug whenever we have questions. He has been very good at responding to any questions and giving his advice. We are really happy with his service. We highly recommend him.”
“After shopping around online and in local stores, I made my way to Big Dave's Bikes and couldn't be happier. I walked in with a bike in mind and after some questions were answered, I was out the door with a brand new Trek. I haven't had a new bike since I was a child and it felt great walking out of there after some amazing customer service.”
