The guys here do great work! I can confirm that on the surface of your 1st experience that they APPEAR like they dont care, but its only in their nonchalant sounding voices. These gentlemen are superb workers and Peter was honest with me from the start regarding how long it would take for my bike to be fixed. They were already 3 weeks deep with work when I handed over my bike, but that progressed to a month or so due to a part back order shipment and they cannot help that. Anyhow, Peter was sure to keep me updated.Please, do not judge them by their outward appearance. Some people just arent bubbly BUT they ARE VERY friendly, will NOT charge outrageous prices, and does AMAZING work! Ive been taking my bike there for about a couple of years now and they always make it as good as new! I believe its a private business with a huge and dependable clientele, so if theyre not fawning over every customer that comes through the door then its possibly because they really dont need to, so please, just have a humble approach with the gentlemen there and they will not disappoint you! By the way, how they treat people has nothing to do with race. They are Caucasian and Spanish Americans and I am Black American... in case anyone wanted to go there 🤭

Shout out to Carlos & Peter for their friendly, professional, and SPEEDY service! Fixed my flat and tuned up my bike so I was back out riding in a few days. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bought my 3 Year old Granddaughter’s Radio Flyer in to have someone look at it. I assembled it myself! 😬 They looked at it and was able to tighten and replace screw. The owners were just darn kind!Thank you so much! I’ll have a happy 3 year old Grand! You guys are amazing!Great selection of bikes also!

Love Bay Area Cycles. My husband and I bought our Giants there 5 years ago and just love them. They just replaced my chain, too. Very quick turnaround, helpful quoted estimates and friendly staff. Ill be back with more maintenance and repair. Thanks!

My experience with this bike shop was ok. They were mostly friendly and very knowledgeable. The downside were the high prices and lack of communication. I had to reach out to them to find out whether my bike was ready.

They are dependable and honest! I had a shifter/brake issue last week from a mix brand partsthat they easil fixed in time or wait in store.Highly recommended especialy for spare partsyou can not find anywhere!

Peter was very helpful. He adjusted my brake. No waiting. I recommend Bay Area Cycling.

Nice bike shop! Cool people will be returning!!

Good guys. Was shocked they had what I needed in house. No need to wait for shipment. Check this place out.

Outstanding service and technicians take pride in their work. Excellent and cheerful.

Honest bike mechanics. Fixed my axle free since it had no problems, also brake burp. He suggested new chain and my bike is more responsive. Thanks!

I didnt actually visit the business because the person whom I spoke with on the phone was so helpful that I followed his instructions and fixed the problem myself. I do plan on going in to get everything tuned up.

Awesome business run by awesome people.

I am in a wheelchair and needed new 24” tires. They are the same as on a bicycle. Bay Area Cycling supposedly ordered the tires and told me they would be in on Friday. I go there on Friday only to be told we are trying to get an order together to place an order with the Vendor. I go by on Thursday week to see if the tires will be in on Friday and I am told we will call you on Friday. To date, I have never received the tires and went I spoke to them for the final time, they couldn’t find the order. I don’t do business with Liars and those who have no respect for the handicapped. I realized that when I couldn’t get in their shop due to planters blocking the ramp and sidewalk.

Always helpful and nice to do business with this bike shop!

Still trying to get an update on my bike repair that was due last week!

Had 2 bikes for tune up in their shop for over 2 months. I took them back since they never touched them. Originally I agreed to their 1 month backlog due to COVID. After 1.5 months, I called and they kept promising me it would be done in a few days. After 3 more excuses over the phone, I retrieve them. This reflects disorganized management and Im guessing theyve overloaded and on those who complain the loudest. I tried to sponsor local shops here but taking my business to Kemah. Not highly recommended here

Point Blank, it might take a while to get work performed and they may not communicate with you very well once your bike is in their possession.BUT, once I did get my bike back ... Wow ... the brakes were adjusted correctly, the ENTIRE bike had been gone through in detailed FASHION. They would have gotten 5 stars just because their work and attention to detail are impeccable. So all in all ... bring your bikes here to have then fixed/repaired/adjusted/maintained.Just call them once a week !!! Great Techs here !

Great Customer Service.

I went here in March of this year to purchase the new Giant Propel Disc. Almost non of this purchase went smoothly. This is where I give them all five stars for their service. I understood going in that this bike was going to be rather popular with the manufacturer. It wasn’t even included in Giant’s product catalog yet. When I placed the order for the bike to be delivered to the store it was in stock, however in the short time it took to complete the transaction the bike went out of stock with Giant. I was told it could be a few weeks before the bike came in due to ordering minimums. Totally understandable as the truck needs to be filled before shipping. Well things took longer than expected and in my anticipation I was calling about once a week hoping for an update. After five weeks my bike finally made it to the shop for me to pick it up. I was offered a rather large compensation for my inconvenience, that I didn’t take them up on. After all it wasn’t the shop’s fault that the bike was backordered. The simple act of offering to make it up to me and keeping me updated with every phone call made this one of nicest places to do business.

Came in for an adapter. $2 part is all they sold me no up sale. But I did see a camel bottle and I need a new one so, impulse on my part. Nice little bike store.

The guys seemed nice when I dropped my mountain bike off for a tune up, but after a week and a half and nothing had been done I was very disappointing. I took my bike to Sun and Ski where the pricing was much better and the service was four days.

Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I started getting serious about biking about a year ago. Every biker I know recommended Bay Area, and stated that Ira was the best bike tech in the area by far. On my first trip I brought in a bike that I did not purchase there, and they had never seen before. I wanted more speed of course and better handling. They worked with me and I was able to get what I wanted. There rates were very reasonable.Since then I have been through a couple of new bikes which I bought from them. Their knowledge and experience have helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. Everyone I deal with there (including all the young guys) is always more than helpful, the service is always excellent, and fast.The one thing I have learned is that bikes are a lot more complicated than I had thought, a properly tuned, sized, and set up bike is more fun and a lot safer to ride. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional bike shop to use.

Fast and friendly service.....first rate brake adjustment in 5 minutes. Highly recommend!

These folks KNOW bikes! And have a wide selection to choose from!

Excellent service and friendly owners :-) they had our bike ready in two days!

Made my first visit this morning after continuous ineptitude at my former bike place (REI). Great location about 5-10 minute drive off the Gulf Freeway. The guys at Bay Area Cycling fixed my road bike for a great price while I waited. They didnt try to upsell me (if fact, quite the opposite: when I asked about several repairs I thought my bike might need, they quickly assured me that they were totally unnecessary and a waste of money). In other words, these guys were honest. Even more important, they obviously knew what they were doing and seemed to enjoy doing it.

I have been cycling since 1984, and I honestly have never enjoyed a local bike shop as much as I have this one. The guys who work at Bay Area Cycling are very knowledgeable, and bike maintenance is top notch. Ira, the resident bike mechanic, is awesome! I ride a lot, and after one of his tune ups my bike runs smoothly as pure silk.When I walk in, they know who I am, what I ride, and the history behind each of my bikes. I ask the guys a lot of questions, and I take their advice.I dont shop anywhere else!Update: Yet another great experience with these guys. Fantastic bike tuneup!

I went in to order a Redline bike they posted a Black Friday special price on Facebook, but when I got there it wasnt what they advertised. They only would sell one color bike, of course the color I didnt want and acted like they could care less. Bought the bike on Amazon instead. Its no wonder some businesses go under, terrible customer service.

Always a great experience! Really good people.

I am a novice trail rider and roadie, I first came to this shop to have my entry level trail bike tuned and repaired. The folks at this shop have always welcomed me, advised me and supported me. Chase, Ira (Phenomenal mechanic), Chris and Rick have always been helpful and insightful. Since that first visit and now a few years later I purchased 2 Giant rigs from them. Chase and Ira helped out immensely and even help me save money by not buying something I didnt need but wanted for the sheer novelty of it. They could of let me spend over a thousand more but they are not in it for the buck, I believe they are in it because they love what they do. I am committed to Bay Area Cycle because plain and simple they are committed to me.R. E. Chapa

Best deals in town and willing to help anyone out in a jam.

They fixed my bike in 15 minutes. Great service and very friendly!

Great service and very knowledgeable on fitting me for the correct size bike.

These guys are great. They knew what they had available even before double and triple checking for the speciality item I came looking for. The guy named Rick helped change two inner tubes on my sons Transformers Bumblebee bike with training wheels and didnt mind the extra work required! He checked that the chain and peddles were lubed up and the bike was sound! This place really cares! Thanks a million! I recommend stopping here for your bike needs before any other place!

We took a biking trip over Spring Break to this area and had a mishap with the bikes. These folks immediately helped us get back on our way with our equipment. They know their stuff and are friendly and helpful while doing it. If you need bicycling equipment or repair these folks wont let you down. Give them a shot!!!!!

We took my daughters bike in to have the dereailer fixed, a new chain and 2 shifters with cables replaced. He quoted us $122+ and said wed be better off buying a new bike. Now Im not sure how much they charge for labor but we bought the parts online for $47 and my husband who has never repaired a bike to this degree had it fixed in an about an hour in our front yard. The gentleman was very nice and professional but he seemed almost dismissive and I have to wonder if it isnt because it was a Walmart bike.

They matched up a hard to find front tire and fixed my bike. These guys are great. The prices are reasonable too...

Manager here (Ira) was very impatient with his own employee and then gave me the same jerk attitude. I quickly lost interest in talking to the guy. Another employee came in who seemed to know his stuff and was a lot more personable and better at explaining things.They only had 1 set of pedals to choose from which I didnt want. Seems weird that a bicycle shop doesnt have a good selection of pedals. Then they were going to try to get a part that I need but said theyd have to transfer it from another store. I had to ask them to take my information to let me know the part was in.Anyhow, I wont be going back there.

The mechanic Adam is one of the best mechanics around and really knows his stuff. Cant wait for the electronic wheel conversion kit installations.

Beware to anyone/woman who doesnt want to be taken advantage of by the owner and employees of this worthless place! ! I took my bike to purchase and have a chain put on it. The young dark skin bald guy first quoted me a price of $60. Around $25 for the chain, which I expected, but $30 for the labor, seriously! !! So I said no thanks. He then tells me to wait and runs inside to return with a quote of $10 for the labor. After the service the old short fat white guy who owns the place doesnt set the gear correctly which causes the chain to fall off when I test rode it. So I take it back inside for him to correct it. While there I deside to get a quote about having my cables replaced and gears flushed. THIS IS EVER MORE RIDICULOUS! !! I was first given a quote of $36 plus $30 for the labor by the old man, but he decides to measure my cables, and when all was done I was given a quote of $130 to have everything done. A left this joke of a bike shop and went to Bike Barn to have everything done for $50. I should have followed my first thought and went to BB in the beginning! !

I went to the shop where I bought my bike and they said they couldnt get to my bike for a week, so I drove to Bay Area Cycling and they immediately took care of my problem. no delay. Ever since then, I have been dealing with them and have bought two Giant bikes from them. Both have been fantastic and they definitely help me with tuning on a regular basic. I feel like a character from Cheers, when I walk in, they immediately greet me. For those old enough to remember, that is Normmmmm!!!. LOLAnyway, I definitely recommend these guys.Brad B

Another cool kids bike shop where you wont be treated well if your a normal person on fixed income.

Terrible service! I order my bike and bike rack October the 9th 2018The bike arrived on December, the bike rack I originally order was out of stock by the time the bike arrived. The staff decided to order me a replacement without consulting me, once it arrived it was the incorrect one. It did not fit the hitch that was installed on my car.I’m very frustrated, I paid for the bike and bike rack upfront.Worse experience ever!

Stopped by for a very small purchase and was treated great even on a Monday. Price was exactly what I wouldve spent at Academy. Will be back.

I visited Bay Area Cycle on 7/10/15. I was greated right away. I explained to Rick that I was considering buying a BMW M Cruise bike that I was allowed to test out overnight but the gears was not shifting properly. I left it with them and went to have lunch. Rick called me back within an hour and told it was ready to go. Cool! He was very friendly and didnt try to sway my decision to purchase one of their bikes or talked down about the BMW Bike... Yet he answered all of my questions. Ill definitely be back for service and purchase accessories!

What a great resource for our city. Chase and Peter were very helpful and they completed my bike repair same day and were very reasonably priced.

Good shop and employees. Ive never had a problem there. It could use a larger selection of bikes and parts.

I would highly recommend this bike shop. The bike mechanics are very good and have a great personal touch.

Quick detail taken care of quickly and economically

Dont waste your time. With the exception of two employees, this place is a waste of your tine. There is one old guy here and if you ask him a bicycle related question he will belittle you and try to make you feel stupid for not knowing. Not just to customers but he alsontreats his fellow employees very bad. I witnessed this myself and it was very uncomfortable. Not professional at all and not worth spending a single dollar here

Awesime friendly service and these guys know their products,they wont sell something that you dont need.i am very pleased

These guys r simply phenomenal and go above and beyond to help every1 who vizits the store...I highly recommend this shop to any and all people who have any questions about bikes or just stop in and say Hi theyll be glad ya did.Just tell them that Wookiee sent ya.

The best in League City tx

Love these guys! Small shop. Good folks!

Walked in, looking for a bike for my son...never acknowledged by the worker. They clearly dont need MY business.

Be sure to get a written quote. They verbally told us around $75 for repairs and charged us $180!! No phone call to preapprove work.

Have dealt with Bay Area Schwinn for years, they are great guys and know their bikes!!Would recommend them to anyone!!!

Great customer service

Great service and good prices on parts.

Quick great service

Great experience with speedy service !

Great service

Terrible experience buying a bike for the first time. I agree with the reviews on this forum that said that the sales people are just not helpful at all. Moreover, they also care less if your budget is not like $500 or up. Never go to this place.

Friendly Staff

Friendly staff!

This place suck,
