I owned a 5-Speed Schwinn Stingray bike since I was 12 years old. Somehow, it stayed with me for…read moreover 50 years through going away to college, moving from Michigan to California for grad school and to every place I've lived in So Cal. It was one of my most cherished possessions. Until it burned along with my house in the Altadena fire. Devastated, I was lucky to find one just like it on eBay along with another vintage Stingray. They arrived in pieces, in huge shipping boxes. Now it was just a matter of finding someone who could assemble them. I found Eli who arrived and in my driveway with his mobile set-up, accomplished the mission! I plan to put the burned out skeleton of my original Stingray (salvaged from the ashes) on the wall with the two that Eli assembled as art in my rebuilt home. I can highly recommend Eli. He's reasonably priced, timely, efficient, skilled, friendly and professional. Five stars.

I am going to open here, I was not being the best model customer--I kept changing the meet up appointment with Russell. But Russell was patient with me and was very accommodating to my scheduling needs. When we finally found an agreed appointment time, Russell pulled up to my business park parking lot promptly. He helped realigned my brake pads, adjust the brake levers, cleaned up my scooter, and helped install a loose front fender with a spare screw he had. His pricing was very sensible and reasonable. I would go back to him for my electric scooter (e-scooter) maintenance.

I recently brought a bike to Around the Cycle that I'd bought from a nice couple. It seemed like a…read moregreat find, but as with most random bike purchases, there were a few hidden issues. I initially just needed the seat raised and the handlebars adjusted, but it turned out the chain was incredibly loose, the tubes were probably at least 10 years old, and there were a handful of other things that needed attention. I worked with Joe, who was absolutely fantastic. He was genuinely excited about the bike and eager to help. He even brought me outside, watched how I was riding, and made adjustments on the spot. After that, we brought the bike inside so they could take a closer look and handle the bigger fixes. They really took their time to make sure everything was dialed in perfectly. Joe also noticed I had a women's seat on the bike, which is fine, but as a man it wasn't the best fit. I appreciated that they paid attention to details like that. They were also very mindful of my budget and made sure we didn't overspend while still getting everything safe and road ready. Ben handled the tube replacement and did a great job. It truly felt like a team effort to make sure my bike was not only running well but completely safe. They even threw in a free water bottle holder and installed it because it was hot out! I ended up grabbing the sickest Grateful Dead inspired water bottle and filled up while I was there, the ride home was so much less intense because of that. My family and I have been going to Around the Cycle for years and have bought multiple bikes from them. Every experience has been excellent. It's clear this is a tight knit group that genuinely cares about their customers. This isn't some corporate chain. It's exactly what you'd hope every neighborhood shop would be like. Anytime anyone I know needs anything bike related, I send them to Around the Cycle without hesitation. They're simply the best. Huge shout out to Joe and Ben for the amazing service and going above and beyond. They will have my business for life!
