    I don't normally write reviews on Yelp but I had to for this one. He's so nice!! I'm a beginner, I haven't biked in years and wanted to start again just to get moving and to have a new hobby. I was looking for a used hybrid bike that fit my needs and the one he pulled out ended up being the perfect size and had everything I was looking for! It was also still in amazing condition. He let me try it as well in the parking lot and showed me how to take off the tires and showed me basic things I needed to know about the bike and how to use it. He was very kind, knowledgeable about the bike and very helpful. I plan on going to him for bike repairs as well. Out of all the bike places I went to that day, I went to 4, he was the most helpful one. I have already recommend him to a few people and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future!

    Super great customer service

    Amazing guy, amazing service, and amazing prices! Couldn't be happier with the service, turnaround time, and price. Highly recommend! On yelp it says they don't do hydraulic brakes, but they do so bring all your bikes here

    See all

    Ask the Community - Alan Gorman

    Do you buy used road bikes?

    Yes.

    Hi, I have a bike that needs a hydraulic brake bleed. Do you offer that service? If so, could you please share a quote? Thanks!

    Hi. Yes we do. It is $75 for both brakes.

    If I drop off my new bike for assembly, how does it take to complete? The bike is half assembled in a box.

    Hi. Really backed up right now so it would be about seven days before you get back.

    I have a new bike and it's partially assembled, only need to complete installing the front wheel, brake, seat and paddles. How much would this typically cost?

    $140. Thanks.

    Hi, I was wondering if you're able to install training wheels on a kids bike (I have the training wheels and the bike), and if so, how much it would cost? Thank you!

    May I come by Saturday and see what you have for sale?

    No problem. 2pm to 5pm. Thanks

Chris helped me from the beginning to the end with all of my concerns, such as any compatibility issues, challenges with sourcing parts, and also very helpful upgrades I wanted to consider with full transparency and all the important details. Thanks again Chris for your help and patience with me and updating me throughout the process. Incredible communication, customer service, and overall professionalism. I've been riding this indoors on the Wahoo Kickr Core and since the wheels arrived, I look forward to putting many miles on it. Hey, I'll most likely be back next year to upgrade my groupset.

Had they taken the time to talk to me about switching parts, I would've easily been persuaded. I'm also a regular customer at the store. The fact that I was just treated like that saddens me. They simply don't care. That's fine if it's your business model, but the delivery was unnecessarily dismissive and came off as elitist. Not everyone rides a top-tier brand, and that shouldn't mean being treated like you're wasting their time. I was prepared to spend a few hundred dollars on a tune up and more for repairing my crumbling wheel, but clearly that wasn't the issue--the brand of my bike was. There are plenty of shops that value customers regardless of what they ride. I'll be taking my business to one of them. Note: I found a better bike shop that will support all bikes and treat you well well providing their service. You can avoid the snobbery of Cognition cycle. Go to Woodside Bike Shop.

Recently, I've had 2 separate experiences within a week a week of each other. The first one, I was selling a bike on CL. A buyer living in Colorado asked if I could ship the bike and I was reluctant to do it. I suggested he call Specialized Bay Area to see if they can handle the packing and shipping of the bike, basically taking liability to get it shipped there. The transaction worked out perfectly where the buyer dealt directly with SBA on the shipping. Buyer Venmo'd me payment and received his bike in 3 days! Kudos to SBA for offering this service! The second experience. I was gonna go for a ride on the Levo this morning. Found a broken spoke. I texted the SBA and explained my problem, gave them a copy of my registration of the Roval wheels, and they said to drop it off any time. I stopped in @ 4pm on a Friday thinking to pick it up next week. One of the managers, Yoav replaced it on the spot, trued the wheel, lubed all the nipples, installed factory tubeless tape, all within 10 minutes! Best of all, the spoke repair was covered under warranty! Actually, the best of all was the staff were friendly and personable. :-) My bike was down for only a few hours! By far, the best experience I have had with a bike shop. I hope they stick around because I want I work here when I retire. Specialized for life!
