I have not gone inside the shop. I had some questions. Alec answered. Dude was johnny-on-the-spot answering all my questions. Will look forward to entering the store now. Thank you.

Good selection of standard road bikes and mountain bikes including bikes. They have rentals and a large selection of gear, shoes, accessories, clothing, water but no bathrooms. The rentals include helmets but no storage bags or straps to hold down garments or accessories

You guys carry just about everything I need to service my MTB, and the staff are knowledgeable and incredibly helpful and friendly. That in itself is gold. Thanks for not being the “too cool” store - you have my business!

I had rented here a few months ago but had to cancel one of my rentals two days early. The employee assisting me told me hed note my credit and I could use it for a future rental. Came back to rent again and there was no note and the employee that I spoke to told me that they would never put a credit in the computer. Eventually, the owner contacted me, and after hearing my story gave me the credit and we rented our bikes as planned. One employee even spent time talking to me about all the trails in the area.Their rentals are top-notch and the service is fantastic. I love that you can talk directly with the owner and get the personal service thats so lacking at many other businesses these days. Kudos to Foothill Cyclerys owner and staff.

We had an excellent experience purchasing 2 ebikes. We felt zero pressure, but feel like we were informed. I would definitely buy from them again.

Employees are quick to greet customers, and quick to ascertain customers reason for coming in. I have only used the service so far, and each technician has been quick to discuss the bikes issues and give opinions on potential cause, optional fixes, estimated service times, and costs. A great bike shop!I would love FC to offer a basic class for newbies on general mtb bike maintenance, adjustments, etc.

Purchased a new Trek bike in August 2021, staff was very responsive with online inquiry, prepared bike prior to arrival next day, led to a quick and smooth sale. Staff were very friendly and informed, great bike shop.

Many experiences at this bike shop that have all been very positive. We have bought 3 bikes and have had repairs and tune ups done here all with excellent results. They don’t seem to have a high personnel turnover and all are very knowledgeable.Josh, the owner is also very assessable.This is our go to bike shop.

Great service walked in. Madi was very helpful and explain very well and helped me to find the perfect bike I was looking for my needs!

This guys from Foothill Cyclery are the best, the whole staff is very helpful, very nice, i highly recommend this please.

Well oiled operation. Fast and efficient, even when busy. Bike I rented was in good shape. Had enough staff to take care of business.

Great parts in stock and excellent service to get cargo rack and kid carrier seats safely mounted on two different MTBs. Thanks to the whole team for helping out with all customers and allowing my service tech the time to get the job done.

Dustin (service department) was super helpful and attentive to my needs, and they were able to help me with my specific needs even though my bike is old. Every time Ive gone here they have done an excellent job.

Great business! Helpful, knowledgeable staff and service department.

Foothill cycle has always been able to answer any question and products are always reasonably priced. Great mechanics as well

Always great service and knowledge. The best local bike shop in town.

Staff was professional and courteous, and the service was excellent.

First time using Foothill. Brought son’s older Canondale over for some repairs. Chace worked with us and did an excellent job identifying some issues that needed attention beyond the ones I know about. His estimate was spot-on, as was the completion date.Will definitely use Foothill for future work.Thanks

Never a bad experience here over multiple bike purchases! Friendly and helpful staff keep us coming back

Ive only ever received amazing service, great input from staff, and had very personable interactions...I always feel valued and cared for and I know any issue I have will be handled one way or another. Thank you for everything each of you do.J oshua

Ellie Was great! I was in a rush and she got me what I needed very quickly. Even attached the seats for me. Excellent service here

Reliability, excellent customer service and convenience. I rely on my bike as my primary means of transportation. Foothill Cyclery repair techs repaired my bike and did a major tune-up and full bike cleaning in half the time I was originally quoted, getting me back on the road two days early, in time to enjoy the holiday sunshine!

Foothill Cyclery definitely has the best service in town! Their mechanics and floor staff are highly knowledgeable and friendly. The turnaround on bike service is almost always one day or less. They also rent full-suspension mountain bikes which is awesome! Always a good experience at Foothill.

I went in to Foothill Cyclery to learn more about e-bikes. Alec helped me and was very patient with my many questions. I felt I had his undivided attention. I love my new e-bike!

I have been Foothills Customer for over ten years and bought multiple bikes from them. Through out the years, Josh and his staff have always been amazing to do business. I would recommend Foothill Cyclery for all you cycling needs!!

The service here is phenomenal with highly knowledgeable and friendly staff, every one of them! I had absolutely no doubts about the awesome electric bike I bought after all functions on how it works were explained to me. Highly recommend this store for all of your biking needs, including servicing of your bike.

I never really feel welcome in this store. Today I stopped in to drop my bike off. Needs new front rotor and brakes done, stronger rear rim, new derailer, new chain new tires, Rear shock and swingarm bushings, rebuild front forks, and new grips. I asked a girl if I can drop it off and she said to bring it in and stand next to service. I stood there for over 10min waiting, while watching 3 mechanics working, then 4 or 5 employees behind the parts counter. One eating a sandwich, another helping another customer and the other 2 employees doing nothing. One of the 2 not looking like they have anything to do had just helped a different customer that came to get his kids biks and one had a flat tire that they missed. The guy eating his sandwich walked by me twice with no eye contact and trying to avoid me. So I walked by bike out, right past the parts counter with 4 employees without a word from any of them. Cambria Bike Shop here I come!!!

I bought a used mountain bike a few weeks ago and asked my neighbor who is an avid cyclist who he would recommend in the area for me to get a tune up and some new handlebar grips for my (new to me) used mountain bike. He recommended Foothills Cyclery, and I see why. They were professional at every opportunity and provided great service (and good communication) at a great price. I had a handful of things done and it was still under $100 which impressed me. When they first called to give me a price quote when they said it would be around $75 I thought maybe they said $175, but I rewound and listened to the message twice and indeed when I came to pick it up, it was only around $75 + tax. I definitely recommend them for your cycling needs.

Best bike shop in town. My wife and I have bought all our bikes there for the past 15+ years. Great customer service. They have a large, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. They are great for repairs and maintenance. They usually do easy repairs on the spot while I wait. Longer repairs only take a day or two. When I order parts from Foothill they arrive in a day or two. Much faster than ordering online. I highly recommend.

Your sales staff is excellent, your stock is great and Nobody tries to upsell me on things I dont need!

Good selection of both bikes and parts, friendly courteous staff, store felt clean and safety seemed to be a priority.

Great Shop with Friendly Staff! Thanks for all your help!

Foothill Cyclery has friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled employees. Their diagnosis is on point, and their service is excellent. Their prices are fair. Without question, the best local bike shop. Thanks, guys!

Great experience! Rented mountain bikes for 24 hours, as we are from out of town, and wanted to ride a few mountains in the area. People are experienced, and knowledgeable. They even took the time to give us suggestions on trails. Honestly all around great! Will definitely rent from them again in the future.

The service is exceptional. They have been understandably swamped with business during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they were able to fix my bike a week sooner than the 10 days that predicted. My bike came back running like new at a cost that was surprisingly lower than I imagined. And the employees were courteous and attentive on the phone and in person. Its a great place to take a bike for service.

Clean, professional looking place. Large selection of bikes and services. As far as e-bikes, though, they mostly order from a single manufacturer, and it is a bit pricey

I really like Foothill Cyclery. Its got a great shop and the staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. They seem to give the same care and respect to beginners and fanatics. Highly recommend this independent bike shop.

Great selection and service. The team there is always willing to help answer any questions and help out. If they do not have an item in stock, they will order it quickly and easily.

I know we are in difficult times right now but we stood outside for 20 - 30 minutes today in the rain and watched two employees helping one person at a time, being in the customer service industry for 40 plus years I couldnt help but wonder why someone wasnt out there to see what the peoples needs were. when we finally got close enough to read the postings at the counter we realized that we couldnt go in the store to look at any bikes anyway, my wife had called earlier this week and was under the impression that we would be able to look around under limited entry rules IE: the line. Now I might have missed a posting on the show room window but I had 20 - 30 minutes to read everything there???? this rating could change I still wish to go there and look at bikes I hear they have good customer service though not evident today.Thanks for getting back to me I appreciate that, I look forward to coming to your store and checking out what you have to offer, we are just starting to research E-bikes and are unsure as to what we want. Thanks again.

Needed them to ship me a rare part and they did it within a half hour. Very pleased with their excellent customer service and friendly staff.

Foothill is a great community bike store that supports the cycling community of San Luis Obispo.

Having a flat while on a bike ride is never a good thing. When glass slashes your tire it is especially frustrating. Knowledgeable Foothill Cyclery staff have always been available to get me back on the road. A replacement tire and fitting advice for my new bike seat, ...all within an hour. Thanks Again!

The store is crazy busy, but the staff are on their toes and polite and helpful. I purchased my dream electric bike. It had a few hiccups but they fixed it immediately. I know I can rely on the store manager to accommodate any future needs that may come up.

Staff was professional and friendly. Communication was excellent, and good follow through was provided! My Marlin 5 was assembled and ready sooner than expected, which was a bonus!! Thank you!!

I trust the expertise of the mechanics and staff at Foothill Cyclery. They helped me find the best solution to get an old bike up and running again.

Needed a quick derailleur adjustment. Took a few minutes. Great shop. Excellent, knowledgeable, experienced staff.

Foothill Cyclery is a pretty awesome company. Every phone call was pleasant and informative, service was incredible from ordering my bike and the delivery at my home. If 6 stars would be an option, they would deserve it!

Im fairly new to the Central Coast. Coming from LA, I bought from, and used Helens for repairs etc for many years and my experience with Foothill has been comparable in regards to customer service, repairs and price. Highly recommended.

Super nice, helpful and patient. Renting a bike and they made sure it was outfitted to me before leaving. Quickly repaired a flat half way through the rental no problem.

Great guys, honest and reliable!

Great service walked in they helped me find some pedals for my bike and installed them thank you!!!

A great bike rental store: good value for good prices. We rented the simplest option they had to ride along side the coast (model FX 5, about $45 for 24h) and were really glad about the bikes. They have superior models (actual competition road bike) for $60-70 a day.Gotta say, they were really slow to get the bikes, each enquiry (bike change, seat adjustment) took nearly 10 mns each time, whole process probably lasted 40 mns. Return was super fast though.

Friendly, knowledgeable, reasonable prices!

Awesome experience. The people who work there are not only knowledgeable but enthusiastic about what they do and it makes the whole buying process so enjoyable

I have to send a big thanks to you guys for taking the time to take a quick trouble-shooting look at our ebike on Saturday! You were all very friendly and helpful and I hope your raffle vote goes the way you want it! ;-)By the way, even though we are not locals, we will be back as customers! We appreciate good customer service and professionals who take the time to explain things to us folks who might not be so well informed!

Terrible horrible customer service.. we walked in and walked out after one minuteThe girl working there was sooooo unprofessional and didn’t seem to have any expertise in the bikes areaShe was terrible and her tone was just overall rude!!She didn’t help us with nothing and above all of this.. not sure why they have a business going if they have NO bikes availableEverything in their shop is for show only.. nothing is available for sale !!!!HORRIBLE EXPERIENCENever going back to that shop!!!!!

I have no idea how Foothill Cyclery is still in business considering how poorly they treat their customers. Typical answer to expect from them is bring your bike by, it will probably take 4-5 days before we get to it... This is the answer you get for a simple adjustment. I need my bike, giving a nonchalant answer of 4-5 days is arrogant and disrespectful of your customers time. Also, their business hours are absurd. They close at 3 on Saturday and are not open on Sunday. Ridiculous.

All the Employees here are so nice and informative. I love how every time I walk out of here I feel like I have had all my questions answered and anything I might need repaired, fixed and ready to go.

These guys do a great job on all my bikes and always delivery high quality customer service.

Josh is nice and very helpful. He has friendly employees too. I always find what I need.

Great service. Knowledgeable staff. We were visiting the area and they even recommended trails based on our skill levels. Just awesome!

A friend of mine recommended we demo an e-bike since he had enjoyed his so much. I wandered in with my wife half thinking I shouldnt bother and should just buy it online. Little did I know Foothill Cyclery had an unfair advantage: one of the teammates there is this guy Aidan that might have been the most helpful person...ever. He explained the technical differences between the e-bike options in ways I could understand was super patience and spent a lot of time with my wife and I. We ended up demoing 3 different bikes. Were not ready to buy yet, but Aidan was so good, I now feel obligated to reward such fantastic customer service with my future business.

The staff was great and really helped us with our first time on ebikes.

Great people, great service. Fit me on a bike and dialed in the settings. They even hooked me up with some pedals I forgot. Suggested some awesome trails that were biking distance from the shop.

Good selection of products, great staff. Amazing mechanics!

Great service.... I needed the bike fixed to get it back on the road asap, and they were able to take care of me!

Great shop with excellent customer service. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Always willing to go the extra step to help out. Wish they had a shop closer to where I live.

My wife and I purchased a Yuba Mundo cargo bike through these guys a few years back. Weve loved it up until we had too many kids for my weak legs to pedal anymore. The guys are Foothill walked me through what electric add-on to buy down to the last detail. They did an amazing job on the install. Now we I can comfortably ride all 3 of our kids on the bike without being soaked in sweat. Really great bike shop!

Very friendly and incredibly helpful. They are also great at repairs/service.

Super nice people, great bike service, and chill vibe. Way better than the uptight and stingy store on Monterey. Thanks guys!

Foothill is the closest bike shop to campus, and conveniently, also the best in town! Friendly, professional staff are mixed in with a wide selection of bikes and accessories. You cant ask for more!

Walked in ready to drop $3k or more on a new Mt Bike or even the demos. I’m guessing bikes are flying off their shelves because they didn’t care if I wanted to buy a bike. I just moved into the area and wanted to establish a new bike shop. So for starters I purchased an $80 helmet but the customer service was so bad and more than anything arrogant that I can’t imagine if I dropped $3k+ on a new bike. No way. Guys. You had an easy sale. Guess business is too good to manage a new active spending customer. Good luck!

Great staff. Efficient service.

Best bike shop in town! All the staff is very knowledgeable about the bikes and products, they are friendly, and always helpful. The mechanics Tyler and Josh always get my bike tuned up perfectly and have a great turn around time. Josh is an expert bike fitter and helped solve issues I was having on the bike, make an appointment with him if you need a fit and want to be more comfortable on your bike!

Highly recommend. Good, honest, knowledgeable people

I have a Pedigo electric bike and have put many miles on it and as time went by the tires wore out the brake pads wore out the shifter wore out and it needed a tuneup so I begin to shop around for a good bike store that could tackle the repairs and they were eager to help me and did a great job and I look forward to working with them in the future the workmanship was good the staff was friendly And they got the job done in a timely manner thank you very much foothill Cyclery Dan Jelladian Real Estate Broker SLO County Avila Beach 93424

Foothill cyclery is a great place to buy a bike. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

These guys are the best in town. Ive never had a problem with any work they have done (like you would with other shops in town). The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

Large selection of bikes and accesories, knowledge, and quality workmanship combine to make Foothill Cyclery my primary got to for my riding needs.

Great service from super friendly and knowledgeable staff- I rented my first proper mountain bike, a demo Trek Fuel for just $60 for the day. The guys spent time setting it up for me as a newbie, and took time to explain some suitable beginner trails as well as some local technical spots for my experienced rider boyfriend. I loved it! Thanks for making mtb accessible to a first timer girl!

Great people, excellent customer service, a fantastic local bike shop.

I rented an electric assist, full suspension mountain bike from these guys ( I am using my wifes facebook to leave this as I dont have one of my own). I had not ridden the trails in SLO for about 30 years and knew I couldnt show my son (Freshman at Cal Poly) the trails like I use to ride them. The bike was the bomb. Never have I done Poly Canyon, Perfumo Cyn or Big Falls at such an uphill rate. I was actually waiting for my son on the uphills. Anyhow, Foothill Cyclery is in a different spot and the folks are all different since I was a student but still the greatest service in all of SLO. I highly recommend this shop, and if youre 50, fat but still want to fly... try an electric full suspension, you wont stop smiling.Dino LaCapria, Bon Vivant

Excellent repair service. Good selection of gear and bicycles

Wow!!! I flew into town and needed to rent a bike, Josh set me up with a bike and made it unbelievably easy for me. I had a link to reserve it on their website, it was prepped and ready for me, the bike performed extremely well! If youre local you should check out their service area too, they have some high tech repair stands that look amazing. They had a great mix of bikes, kids, road, mtb, and Ebikes. They had a great selection of accessories too. I get to visit a variety of shops along my travels and this one stands out. Highly recommended and whenever I visit the SLO area Ill be renting from them.

The best local bike shop in the area. Their customer service and knowledge of everything about bikes is some of the best anywhere I’ve seen.

Rented a road bike from Foothill - staff were very fast and courteous, helping with local routes. Bike was in great shape - a very good and friendly shop.

The service at this shop is second to none! My daughter had a serious crash in October and the integrity of her helmet post-crash was in question. The guys at this shop brought it to my attention that her Bontrager helmet came with a one year warranty for replacement due to a crash and they traded hers on the spot. I was set to purchase a new one and they took the high road! My daughter is getting a new bike, and a brand-new helmet for Christmas! Shop Local and shop at this store! Thank you Foothill Cyclery our story has had a very happy ending!

Josh, Tyler, Frank, and the entire crew at Foothill Cyclery recently helped with a major project of ours involving 19 bikes. Each bike was assembled or built by Foothill, including a few from scratch. Weve worked with other shops in the past on similar projects, and every year weve had a few issues with the builds. That changed this year - everything was dialed on every bike. Thats 19 great builds with perfectly functional components throughout. Its clear that Foothill takes pride in their work and gets even the little details right the first time. Highly recommended.

Good company to work with.

Foothill Cyclery had everything I needed on hand! Wonderful service as well!👍

Smart, skilled, knowledgeable local bike shop. Josh and Frank have gotten me back on the road many times and have set me up with a couple beautiful new bikes from Trek. Josh is a very competent bike fitter and has worked with me after a couple serious back issues.

Super fast service and great prices. Took my sons mountain bike tire in for a flat .. walked out in about 5 minutes .. fully repaired right. Had gone to another local shop the day before .. and they didnt do it right. Foothill Cyclery is the only shop Ill take my bike repairs to.

The gang at Foothill Cyclery really go the extra mile. My experience with them started November of 2016. I purchased a bike online and was looking for a shop to service it. I tried the other local shops in town and they wouldnt give me the time of day. See the problem was it was an E-bike and at the time the other shops were way to elite to be bothered with a cheater. Josh, on the other hand, welcomed me happily and since then (5 bikes--3 e-bikes and 2 full suspension mountain bikes--and countless accessories later) has more than made that first positive experience pay off. So if you are looking to buy a bike, or simply want to talk to someone who will listen and help you find the right bike for your needs, head over to Foothill Cyclery and talk to any of their staff. I think youll find your bike shop for life!

Great local bike shop with friendly employees. These guys are really knowledgeable and will make time to chat with you about anything bike related.

Love. This. Shop.I’ve purchased all of my bikes (4 treks, 2 surlys) and have had other bikes serviced here over the past 9 years, meaning I’ve done all kinds of business with them, and they’ve never missed an opportunity to exceed my expectations.One of my favorite aspects of their service is the transparency. They’ve never glossed over something they didn’t want to explain because I’m not a bicycle expert- they’ve always taken the time to explain a problem or a solution before I decide to commit any money. And they’ve always managed to explain it in a way that shows their passion for their craft without making you feel clueless.On the flip side of that, if you don’t want to know about the inner workings of your bottom bracket, they will simply take care of it in a very reasonable amount of time.So if you’re in need of a quality shop for the purchasing and maintainence of your various bicycles, definitely go see Josh and his crew at Foothill Cyclery.

Frank is great! Josh is great! I love this place, wouldnt take my bike to any other shop in town.

Ended up wasting a morning trying to rent mountain bikes...Called the day before to find out what wed needr; rates, timing, etc. Was told to be sure to bring my ID, and I assumed they would hold onto it until the bike was returned.Had no idea I needed to bring a credit card and be prepared to make a deposit for the entire value of the rented bike. Wouldnt have been a problem if we would have known that to begin with, but making an extra 2 hour round trip to grab a card didnt seem like fun.They were nice enough, but not getting key info when we asked for it ahead of time really screwed up a day of vacation.

Very knowledgeable service department with the best turn around time Ive seen in a bike shop. Im always glad to take my bike here. Dont forget to tip your mechanic! These guys deserve it!

The best bike shop in SLO!

Very helpful staff. Super friendly, and if youre a Cal Poly student they have a student discount!
