Went in for a bike fit a few days ago and couldn't be more please. I got a Caadd 10 years ago and needed to be refit. Lots of neck pain etc. Went in, took about 45 min. The fit was fabulous! I put a few hours in on the bike today without any pain or issues. Best ride I've had in a long time. Now I'm excited to be back ! Thanks ATC! read more

These guys are great! Always helpful and informative, even though the shop is usually bustling with activity. so happy I bought my new bike from them this past spring. read more

Great customer service and communication. Helped me find a part and shipped very quickly. Thank you Missy and Julian!

Outstanding! Knowledgeable, efficient and reasonable. I've had them work on several of my Nikes and the wife's. read more

After weeks of frustration from another shop's sloppy build, Austin Tricyclist fixed my bike quickly, correctly, and for a fair price. They diagnosed the shifter issue and repaired it in one day, plus got my brakes dialed in -- all at a fraction of what I expected to pay. The techs here clearly know their craft and care about getting you safely back on the road to Ironman. This is where I'll be taking my bike from now on. read more

Product was fine. I brought in my bike to have them pack it in a travel case and rent the travel case for a week they told me it would be $60 for labor to disassemble the bike and pack it up, and then $40 for the week of the case rental. I showed up to pick up the bike and they told me that now labor was $80 because it took them longer than expected to pack the bike. I would have appreciated them sticking with the price that they shared with me instead of up-charging me with no forewarning when I showed up. Disappointing after originally hearing positive reviews. read more

I couldn't be more pleased! Faced with severely worn chain rings on my vintage LeMond road bike, and not able to get replacement parts or useful advice from my regular bike shop in Dallas, Austin TriCyclist took the time and patience to teach me how to evaluate used parts and to show me some alternative part options from different manufacturers, at no charge for their counseling. When I was miraculously able to locate a brand new NOS exact replacement crankset I decided to give them the business of installing it, which they did for an amazingly low cost though I was willing to pay whatever they asked, without question. I will definitely go back. read more

Knowledgeable staff & friendly service. I was looking for a tire for my e-bike which has become a never ending quest since it's .25 off standard sizes. The team tried their best to help with no luck. compared to places i've tried back home, this place was definitely one of the best bike shops i've been to in a while. read more

The service at Austin Tri is amazing! They are incredibly knowledgeable. I'm new to road bikes and they took all the time needed to get me set up! Can't recommend them enough. read more

This is the best bike shop in Austin. Hands down. Nothing compares. Ask for Scott, he's the MAN.

With the corona virus pandemic going on I was so happy to find out that Austin Tri-Cyclist was open. I called ahead to be sure and was assured they were open and before hanging up they did clarify what their new hours were so I wouldn't come at a time possibly listed on google and be disappointed. Which I appreciated! Upon arrival I really just needed the basics. Air filled up and my handle bars re-wrapped. The gentlemen helping me were kind and helpful. They checked my bike out to ensure everything else was going to operate smoothly before me leaving. Breaks, tires, chain etc. The prices were super reasonable and at no point did I feel duped into needing to do more to my bike. I was very happy with my experience here and am thankful for them to help me with my bike during this time! Support small businesses ALWAYS! You guys are awesome! read more

Austin Tri-Cyclist - Freshly wrapped handle bars and aired up tires! - Bikes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I bought a used bike to afford electronic shifting and understood it would have some repairs over time. Tricyclist assembled the bike, fit me, and worked through some weird issues with the crank. They have been wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable. Just feels like home when I walk in the door. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'm riding cross country and needed new chain. John fixed me up and also did a quick overall look at bike and adjusted break pads. Gave me a good reassurance that bike is good to continue to SC. These guys are great, support local bike shops! read more

Super friendly, helpful owner and staff. Really glad I stopped by for swim stuff. And cute doggy

I came into the store, noticed immediately that an employee was not wearing a mask to cover their mouth or their nose. I was referred to be helped by this gentleman, and I asked him to put on his mask, his response "I forgot" they did a mediocre job at tunning my bike up, after asking this person to put on their mask, as required by the city of Austin, the rest of the staff shot me dirty looks. I didn't feel welcomed from the beginning, and no one was friendly. I don't recommend this business. read more

An entire team of great people with a wealth of knowledge about bikes and cycling competitions. Came in today in need of a lot of help and they taught me a lot about bike performance while getting my road bike ready for a triathlon. I know just enough to realize I'll be coming back for more help in the future. read more

This is my first time in Austin, commuting only by bike and Austin Tri-Cyclist is the best! They have any and all cycling parts, clothing, or accessories you could need in the store. The staff is amazing.. they freakin rock. Helped me get my bike road worthy super fast and with a smile! Awesome shop! read more

They are THE best locally owned bike shop in Austin. I've been getting work done there for 5 years. Missy has always gone above and beyond, taking care of all my bike repairs and triathlon needs. read more

Our bike rack was damaged and in need of repair so we could continue on our vacation. Missy was very helpful and went above and beyond for us! read more

Very friendly and great selection! A bit of everything to choose from. A definite spot to go to!

Great experience, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They changed both of my tires pretty fast. Also the feel of that smaller shop is great.. that big one a few blocks away would not even pick up their phone. read more

Anyone will tel you: getting into cycling comes with a steep learning curve. Missy and Don were very welcoming and very helpful searching across gear (shoes, clips, shorts). Good selection, great prices, and excellent advice. They also made sure I left with the kit installed and sized up appropriately. Highly recommend this shop. read more

What a great group of guys this shop has. I came in with my gf to look around and ended up purchasing a saddle for my bike as well as a helmet for myself and my lady. My gf bought shoes and the guys here installed new clips and also gave me an impromptu fit for my new saddle. Awesome shop, wonderful passionate group! read more

I came here for their full iron tune up and had some mixed feelings. They did a great job on the cleaning of the bike and they were prompt in getting the work done. However the gears were not indexed when I picked up the bike from the shop. I was able to fix this on my own but I was not able to ride the bike at first because of this. When I made them aware of this, all they offered was for me to bring it back in. I'd expect some sort of discount for a mishap like this where I'm wasting my time and gas to take my bike back over to you to finish your job. I also mentioned the bike had a creak noise I could not diagnose, but they made no mention of this when I picked it up. I assumed it was addressed but the creak is still there. I have no idea if they even tried to fix that. I'd expect a more thorough review of the work performed when I'm paying for the best tune up they offer. read more

Awesome place to visit, went to three bike shops prior to going here. There was no delay in getting help, not to mention the price was fair and transparent. Good down home feel to the store, I'll be back time and time again. Not to mention the furry friend to greet you at the door read more

The assumption at many bike shops in town is that as a woman, I don't know what I'm talking about. This is not only annoying, it wastes my time. When I worked with the woman manager (owner?) at this shop, that obstacle to getting service I needed was removed. Recommend if you have done basic repairs yourself, owned different types of bikes / do different types of riding, and need someone who can just jump right to your discussion level! read more

I am in shape. I may not have a perfect body (cause I really like to eat entire pizzas at one time) or anything but I am in pretty good condition. Well I decided to "wing it" and do the Capital of Texas olympic distance triathlon this weekend. I thought "eh, I can muscle through anything" and that would be it. Ok well maybe it would be a good idea to not drown and so I went and did the Splash-n-Dash at Pure Austin Quarry Lake to get a bit of swimming practice in and there, surrounded by people in fancy gear, I realized I looked ridiculous in just a basic bathing suit. Although comfortable in my suit, I was self-concious as I ran around the lake in nothing but a swimsuit and sneakers. So today I grit my teeth and went off to buy some tri clothes. I HATE spending money on gear. I just want to go play and I don't like having to invest my paycheck into a sport. I went to one store and left quickly after being frustrated with with high prices and realizing that somehow the tri-shorts made my athletic body look like an athletic sea lion's body. Off to Austin Tri-Cyclist I went instead. There a lady was so attentive and helped me to find the exact fit I needed. She knew the inventory and the pros and cons of each item and prevented me from having to try on too many items. And the ones that she did give me ended up ALL being contenders too. While trying to decide what to buy she worked with me on my budget and even was willing to modify the return policy for me, as a special favor, because I was so uncomfortable committing. So now that I have fancy gear that I am vaguely comfortable in I guess I need to do more triathlons to make it worth it. read more

Ok, first I would like to say I am more incline to believe a 4 star review than a 5 star review. Save the 5 stars for the shop owner who pulls your baby from a flaming airline wreckage and still gives you 20% off your next purchase. That being said, this shop deserves 5 stars - but I have never had a baby so fair is fair :) Seriously though, this bicycle shop puts an emphasis on the individual and they will go the distance to make you happy and sell you a bike that fits your needs. I am a die hard do-it-yourself roadie, but I stopped buying bikes off the internet because I would rather support a local shop who gives back to the cycling community than buy from a soulless retailer. Bottom line: Good people who show their passion for cycling by the service they deliver to every customer. read more

I went into ATC for the first time last weekend, and was pleasantly surprised by a) the selection of swim stuff and b) the helpfullness of the staff! I was shopping for a wetsuit, and had an unsuccessful run at a couple of other stores beforehand. The guys over there did a great job explaining fit and function of getting that darned thing on and off, and gave great advice on how all of it would/should fit. After I was done with that, I took a few minutes to check out the rest of their selection and was pleasantly surprised at all of the tri gear they had available. Definitely a one stop shop! read more

I'm not a jock. Not at all, and you can tell by looking at me. That being said, I like to swim. So when I need swim gear, I head over to Austin Tri. They have everything I need and no uppity attitude with me. The staff has always been super helpful when I've had questions about equipment and brands. In addition, they have an endless pool and workshops as well. If it's bike gear you need, they seem to have a lot. I don't know much about bikes, but I borrowed a friend's old bike when I thought I wanted to start riding and they did a tune-up for me for free and with absolutely no hassle or attitude (I think it was a Huffy). So all in all, I love these guys and will continue to go to them for all my athletic gear. All 2 ounces of it. read more

I was astonished by Austin Tri-Cyclist. Great great great. I went in there looking for a decent bike on a (relatively) modest budget and I told the guy what I was looking for and he asked my height and said, "I have JUST the bike for you." He showed it to me, I rode it around, I got some good tips on what to look for and all that, and I left pretty happy with thinking I'd get that bike. Well I went to some other shops around and the first I went to was helpful, but were like, "You know, if you only want to spend less than $1k on a bike, you really should get a used one." Holy moly! But yes, I shopped around a bit, and went back to buy the bike from these guys more just because I loved the shop. I loved the feel and the attitude that they have here. They threw in a water bottle and some little handle bar riser things (I'm a novice biker, I don't know the names of the parts yet) and fit the bike to me using their super swanky bike-fitting-setup (which is like a trainer with a video camera you can see yourself from the side in so they can show you what's wrong with your (stroke?), which was in my case, pretty much everything. But yes. I love these guys and am very happy with my decision to become a customer of theirs and I had a fantastic time riding my bicycle in to work this morning. However, a word to anyone thinking about starting to just bike in as their commute: first, get a large stick. Then, walk (or drive slowly, but walking is more practical for this task) along the route you're going to ride in. Every time you see a bump, try shoving the stick up your ass; this will let you know just what you're in for should you decide to go this route. It will make you a better person, to be sure, but it does have its downsides. read more

fantastic service, competitive pricing and friendly ambiance. They help whenever you need it, and always treat you well. It's been said it has the best group of mechanics in the city- I would agree. Tristan helped pack my bike for its inaugural flight to San Francisco and it arrived there in perfect shape. I came back to Austin and Chris cheerfully checked over my own clumsy attempts to put it back together without bursting into laughter at my sad bike mechanic skills. They also have a great selection of women's clothing and all the good riding drinks/gu etc, so if I am ever out of something, I never have to go somewhere else. read more

It's astounding to me that this place hasn't gotten a bad review. ATC is legendary among my friends for poor rude service. The first time I went in (against the advice of a friend of mine) I think it was the owner who helped me. He looked like Mick Jagger. Anyway, I had JUST started riding a bike and had gotten my first flat. So, I bought a tube and asked the guy if I could pay him the price of labor and he could show me how to replace my own tube. With a look so patronizing and condescending he said, "Just take out the old one and put the new one in. It's not that hard." Are you freaking kidding me? I told him I was new to cycling and had never done this, so he begrudgingly took me to the side and showed me how...making me feel like a degenerated idiot the entire time. I've got friends with stories from ATC just like this. Not long ago, I needed a new helmet so I figured I'd swallow my pride and give them one more chance because I want to support the local shops. This is when I encountered the most charming helpful lady of all time. She got me into the perfect helmet for a decent price. She's the only reason I gave this place one star. Therefore, I thought I'd bring my wife in because she had an issue with her bike. And what do you know, the dude (another shop worker) treated us like crap. Although I've only gone into ATC for repairs and tube purchases (which isn't a crime, is it?), you can be sure I won't darken their doors when it's time to look at new bikes. read more

Nice, laid back people. Not a bunch of triathlon snots, like I have experienced before where once we got corrected for referring to a triathlon store as a bike store..excuse me for being improper..geez cut a newbie some slack...yes I am still a bit bitter. The owner is really nice, they do free bike fittings and have this camera on you so you can see your form and all that good stuff. Didn't get charged for the full tune up price, since they said my bike was in pretty good shape still. They have a plethora of tri apparel and apparently have the largest group Sat morning rides, which I have yet to try..will update if I do! read more

Austin is full of bike snobs, thankfully, the guys as Austin-Tri Cy are not. I first came upon this shop when I was bike riding with my best friend around downtown. After we had been riding for about 12 miles my handlebars became loose, which is really, really strange. Anyway, this was the first shop I came to and asked for a tool that I could use to tighten my handlebars. Without thinking or asking, they handed me the exact size tool I needed. I fixed my bike, went back inside, and every one was in back sitting down. I heard a voice, "Just leave the tool on the bench." "Thanks!" I yelled back. I thought it was cool that they trusted me enough to leave the tool and leave. As far as the shop goes, they have everything from biking shoes to new tires to new seats to socks, pants, shirts, helmets...the works. This is a one stop shop for a cyclist. read more

All you have to do is ask, and you'll get the best input available on wetsuits, tri gear, and bikes. All the staff at Austin Tricyclist has serious experience in triathlon and the owners have raced as elite and professional triathletes. One of the most refreshing things about ATC is that they're not fake - they tell you like it is without the fake smile and sugar coating. If you just want a wetsuit that keeps you afloat, they won't try and sell you the highest end most expensive fancy wetsuit (bike/whatever), but rather the one that suits your needs. Missy is in charge of wetsuits and can provide you help and advice on wetsuits, clothing, and of course bikes until your ears fall off. All the staff here is on top of their game in the bikes area. Additionally - the prices here are the best in town by FAR. They have a great Saturday morning ride that breaks into a number of packs as well - and at the end of the ride there are great tacos from Taco Deli. Partaking in this is one of the great Austin triathlon/cycling traditions! As an aside - Austin Tricyclist is a triathlon specialty shop - so keep that in mind when shopping here - you may not be able to buy a basket cage or training wheels for your bike at this store. read more

After checking out an amazing running store and the best bike store I was wondering what Austin has in store as far as Tri-gear. OMG. I am officially jealous. They had soooo much stuff. This store was HUGE. The only Tri store in Houston is Tri on the Run this place is 3 times as big. And everything was on sale! read more

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Don & Missy (the owners) and Caleb, (sales associate) through a Triathlete friend of mine. I am a novice cyclist and had many questions. The shop can be very intimidating for a beginner like myself, but Caleb was very patient in answering my questions and I was given GREAT service and a wonderful deal on my beautiful new Cannondale! I am very grateful to ATC for all their help in getting me on the road with 2 wheels! I'll definitely be back! read more

Such a sweet welcome to Austin... The staff at Austin Tri Cycles did a great job reassembling my bike after its first ever plane ride (from San Francisco), but more than that, they were just plain nice, relaxed, and extremely timely. Other bike shops unapologetically quoted me 10 days to 2.5 weeks to get my bike back. I'm fairly sure I could teach myself to build bikes off of YouTube videos, and then do it 20 times over, in that amount of time. ATC said they'd have it back to me in 5 days, and then had it done in 2.5 -- all significantly less than I'd been quoted elsewhere. I'll definitely be back for future bike needs! read more

Dear Degenerated Idiot, (just kiddin' -see Barrett's review below : ) It IS that easy!! Mick was just trying to instill confidence in you that you could DO it!!! (you know, "Luke... trust tha Fahce!") Seriously, these guys know bikes and fit bikes better than anyone - because they really ride 'em. All the time! And, if you have all kinds of questions about competition or gear or whatever, they'll give you the straight-dope and maybe even a deal (more than any other bike shop in town - no kidd'n). I personally think Mick is hilarious. But, if you're the sensitive type, ask for Missy :D read more
