On my last visit to St. Louis, I wanted to see what mountain biking might exist. After calling a…read morefew local shops, I found Big Shark to offer high-quality hard tail mountain bikes that were new this season. When I got to the shop, Casey made sure that I understood the best of what I could access and what I'm unexpected. Seeing that the website was a little confusing in terms of pricing, he rented me the bike at the lowest price point, at least $25 less than it would've been. When I got to the trails the next day, they were technically interesting and worth the rental. Thank you, Casey and Big Shark.

One of the COOLEST secrets in St Louis for parents!…read more Shhhh. BWorks offers FREE classes for kids! My kids took a six week Learn to Ride course completely free. Both kids were riding safely and confidently when they were done. After that, we did the six week Earn A Bike classes where they learned how to build and maintain their bikes, and learned road safety. At the end, they got to keep their bikes! For Free! It was such an incredible experience. My kids loved their teachers. They had so much fun learning and riding. And now they are zooming around!

My first visit was favorable. I was here to check out BWorks rather than purchase; I'd looked…read moreonline at their available bikes. They have dozens of road, mountain, hybrids, and cruisers for sale. BWorks sells used items. Donated bikes are repaired and resold, or chopped up for parts to tune other bikes. Funds go to help inner city youth gain job skills. However, I am looking to replace a bike inexpensively since the frame of my road bike broke after 25 summers of often jarring country roads. BWorks staff were helpful in guiding me not only to available bicycles in my size, but others that would be ready for sell in two weeks or less. Prices are very reasonable, but don't expect new like condition. In addition to two-wheelers BWorks has all kinds of parts, clothing, and cycling paraphernalia for sale.

He happily allowed me to divert the package to his shop for assembly. He assembled it quickly and let me send my spouse on a fake mission to his shop to be surprised by the shiny new BMX sitting in there.

There are a lot of things I hate about living in Soulard but this bike shop is easily in the 'great' column!

It really pains me to do this, but... I had heard so many great things about Matt LaBerta. When a…read morecrack in the frame was discovered on my 2015 Raleigh Clubman, I had no qualms about leaving it with him. He originally stated in early January of 2022 it would take 2 to 3 months - TOPS. By the end of March, I was beginning to wonder and shot off an email. He stated with recent "equipment failures" at his shop, he was running way behind. A little communication here would've gone a long way. Would it kill ya to send out emails to customers letting them know? The bike was picked up on April 30, 2022. Now for the disgusting part; realizing the saddle height was a tad too high, I went to loosen the retaining bolt. It snapped in half. OK...OK...the bike is almost 7 years old. It could've happened at any time. But, the seat-post itself was very hard to move up or down. Upon finally getting the seat-post extracted, I was SHOCKED to see & feel there was NO lube or grease either on the seat-post or in the tube. The crack he repaired was at the junction of the seat-post tube & the top tube. Anyone with cycling knowledge whatsoever knows better. Good way for that seat-post to rust over time & get seized inside the tube - permanently!

Also close to multiple places to grab a bite to eat after! Have been going to this shop for the last 10 years when we are in need of a rental bike! The new owners were friendly & helpful with the quick and efficient onboarding process of getting on the trail! Don't hesitate to rent here - affordable for a fun family / friend day on the trail!

John was friendly, he explained the operation of the bikes perfectly, easy to understand. The bikes were in excellent condition. I've biked the Katy many times and this was one of my best rides. The trail near Defiance is a beautiful part of the trail, lots of scenic views of the river. Many wineries, breweries and eating places nearby is a plus. We came back a little late on our 2 hour rental but he didn't gouge us for more. Highly recommend renting bikes here if you are looking for a great Katy Trail experience.
