Bike World
Excellent (if potentially snarky) service, standard prices, and dope tunes pervade the Central store. Feed the meter an extra quarter and talk indie hip hop and electronica with Austin.
Caruso Cycle Works
You paid a lot of money for that dream ride; you need to keep the whoosh-whoosh churning! Matt Caruso is a top mechanic and works out of his own shop. He’s one of the best in town and with same-day service available, so you don’t have to miss that next big hill climb with your buddies. Matt will make sure your ride is true and your gears are clickin’. Give Matt a few hours and you’ll feel like there’s always a tail wind!
Fat Tire Cycles
Whether you’re an elite racer or a downtown cruiser, Fat Tire will cater to all your details. The shop’s well stocked with the latest from Phat Cycles to Pinarello, and their one-on-one service and ride-before-you-buy programs make shopping easy.
The Bike Coop
A Nob Hill staple for years, and staffed by experts who love all things bike–repair, building, mods, whatever. Don’t beafraid to stop by and ask a few questions. The shop maybe smaller than some of the others in town, but they stock everything. Factor in the extra half hour for a hearty and satisfying browse.
Two Wheel Drive
Is your ride dialed in? Does it hum immaculate? No? Better see Charlie. Since 1982, he’s let customers borrow his tools and pump up for free. He’s one part guru and five parts humanitarian, blazing and maintaining local trails, serving as local IMBA president for several years, and currently donating bikes to the Community Bike Program.
