So many hours and days on bikes. And then, after moving to a place where biking wasn't all that anymore and Oakland streetscapes turned into a screen from a super Mario game I gave the last bike away and didn't look back. But a few weekends ago we were all what shall we do why not head to Monterey and rent a bike and ride on that cool trail from downtown along the dunes to who knows where. And thanks to the friendly red asterisk searching tool we picked Workhorse as the provider of our two wheeled adventure and it was an excellent choice. Besides the bicycles themselves, which were tuned with good tires and brakes and perfect for the task, the entire experience was top shelf. Clean shop, many new and used bikes that I now long for again and need to move out of super Mario land so I can ride again. Professional helpful friendly staff. Their workbench in service shop area was so clean! Good mechanics take care of their tools. Price point for four ppl for 2 and a half hours less than a hundred clams and these days that feels like a super bargain. Fun for the entire family.

The staff says he's just not a people person. This shop won't be here for long. Update - the response sounds good but it has nothing to do with the issue. RUDE EMPLOYEE , OVER PRICED, NOT FIXED WHEN YOU SAID IT COULD BE. Now I have to find a reliable repair center to repair what they did not.

Craig and Bridgette, the owners of Bobcat Bicycles, are wonderful people and run a fantastic bike…read moreshop. I stopped by on 9 August 2025 to check out the new Specialized Turbo Levo 4s and Craig took the time to go over the features of the models I was interested in, reviewing the pros and cons for each bike. Craig was down-to-earth and trustworthy, sharing insights into how he decides what products he carries in the shop. His store manager, Robin, then took me on a guided test ride around the Salinas neighborhood. He took the time to let me explore some of the capabilities of the bike and answered all my questions. I spent the next two days doing more research, and after email exchanges with Bridgette after business hours, pulled the trigger on an orange 2026 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp on 12 August 2025. I believe in the principle that you buy the seller first, which is why I decided to buy from Craig and Bridgette. I felt they were good, high character people, and the awesome purchasing experience and post-sale customer service reinforced that feeling and conclusion. I cannot recommend Bobcat Bicycles enough...they are my go-to shop for servicing my Levo. I have also returned to the shop on several occasions, picking up new pedals, grips, and a couple of Specialized shirts and a pair of Specialized shorts at a great price. Craig was there each time greeting me like a welcomed, long time customer.

Perhaps the bigger places prey on tourists but Rooster Wheels Bike Shop is a true hole-in-a-wall in the best sense possible. On a random weekday afternoon, we got there as a dad and his two daughters were happily loading bikes into their car. One guy was finishing up his transaction and three more potentials customers came by...all while we had only been there the short time we were there. All this to say that William was juggling many things at once from repairs to sales to rentals and yet he never rushed anyone (including us). He seemed so kind and honest and very down to earth. He checked every single bike, filled tires with air as needed, and even let me have a wrench to adjust one of the bikes. Who does that?!??? So awesome. On the COVID front, he had the front roped off so customers aren't touching all the bikes, he wore a mask, & used sanitizer on every bike to disinfect and constantly sanitized his hands. Last random bit to share....William was great with my kids. Very gentle and encouraging to my younger kid by telling her she could learn to ride a bike and gave examples of his own kids learning at the ages they did! And his dog Pedal was such a well-behaved and sweet dog. If you're the kind of person that uses kids and dogs to gauge a person, let that be a nugget of info for you! What a lucky gem of a find for me and my family! We will be repeat customers. Thanks William!!!!

I would not recommend this tour as there are many others to choose from.
