Great guys! I'm sure that they know what they're doing! Left my son's bike for repair. We will be picking it up tomorrow.

Stopped in at Bikes 4 Life to replace a tube on my son's bike that had a puncture. The owner, Chong, took the time to walk me through what caused the issue and gave me some helpful tips I plan to use going forward. No upselling, no pressure. Just solid, fair prices and warm conversation. It's clear he's in this for the right reasons. Glad to support a local business like this, and we'll be coming back for all of our family's bike needs. read more

Great service! Chong will take the time to listen to your concerns and will watch you ride around in the parking lot to diagnose your problem if necessary. The prices are fair, and repairs are given as much consideration as new replacement parts. read more

Came in with a flat tire on my bicycle and he was able to fix it pretty quickly. Excellent service and pricing ($10 for inner tube and $10 to replace it), and I'll definitely be back to replace my chain soon. There's also a bunch of bikes and bike stuff for sale if you need anything. Support local, this place is awesome! read more

Chong is always friendly and professional along with fair pricing. i won't go anywhere else for my bike needs.

We went to Bikes for Life today to purchase a bike for my 10 year old grandson. We chose this store because we did not want to shop at a big box retailer and wanted to support small, local business and we also liked the idea of purchasing a bike that was fitted to the child and already built. I read the Yelp reviews for Bikes for Life and was impressed with the comments customers left. The business is 32 years old and that longevity was a huge selling point. We received EXCELLENT service at Bikes for Life! So much attention to our child's needs and honest, knowledgeable advice was given. The owner really knows his bikes!! He took time to make sure all of the nuts, bolts and connections were well seated and adjusted if necessary. He adjusted the seat and filled the tires to the correct pressure for the new rider. We did not go in expecting such service but we are so pleased that it was given and will be return customers! read more

Bikes 4 Life - Bikes Near Me - Antioch, California

the owner quickly understood what i needed and at reasonable rates. offered more insight as to what was happening and why.

Fixed my bike same day, new tubing, tires, brake adjustments, and derailleur adjustments. Was super informative, friendly, and helpful. Definitely recommend this place especially if you're near the area and are looking for a fix or a new bike! read more

Best bike shop you could ask for. Owner is professional and helpful. I've bought multiple bikes here and have been very happy with all of them. read more

They were extremely honest from beginning to end about what needed fixing (or just bending)! It was definitely appreciated to get a call during the repair about everything that would be replaced. They also had my bike fixed day of, and it works great now! Thanks guys! read more

Chong worked with me to figure out the best bike for my needs and then set it up for me and demo'd all the features. I ended up ordering a carrier and he put it together as well and showed me how to install it on my SUV. He's great and knows his stuff! read more

Great staff and reasonable prices for all your bicycle needs. The owner is really knowledgeable and kind, and his son works there to help... great family and business. Would definitely recommend :) read more

Totally recommended going to this bike shop it will be officially our spot to go find everything we need for our bikes the guy there I didn't get his name but he was super helpful and very knowledgeable I will be going back most definitely! read more

I've been in need of a bike for several years, but I've relied heavily on running and other impact-intensive activities to stay in shape instead. However, after two knee surgeries I feel my running days may be a thing of the past and even my sport therapist, a cyclist himself, told me that a bike would be a better option on my knees. He recommended Bikes 4 Life in Antioch. I went in, not knowing much about bikes, having already borrowed a friend's bike, ridden several times with my son over the previous week, and knowing for sure I needed a bike of my own. The loaner bike was done for, made clear by every ride lol! Even the owner of the bike shop, Chong, said the same. He sold me a new bike for a slightly higher price than I wanted to pay, but after everything was said and done, it was the exact bike I wanted and needed. However, this was was no upsell, and he didn't use any kind of impulse-buy selling tactics either. He showed me what I needed. I thanked him. I went home, slept on it, went on another few rides with the crap loaner, and went back in a few days later to put a deposit on my new bike Like I said, it was a bit pricier than I wanted, but it was worth it. Its been several weeks and I've now brought Chong the loaner bike for some maintenance, my son's bike for new tires and pedals, my husband's bike with a shifting issue - which Chong didn't even charge me to fix! He tells me exactly what I need to do, and what I need. He doesn't sell me stuff I don't want or need, and he's a master at his craft. I've gotten all the other things I need from him as well, like a helmet and any other cycling accoutrements. I will NEVER go to Walmart for a bike again. My kids will now get all their future bikes from there, and no other place will get my bike business. Chong is the man. If you want an awesome bike and great service, go see Chong at Bikes 4 Life. I'm super excited to get back into pre-knee-surgery shape and get more rides under my belt, and learn everything I need to know to do it all on a bike. Chong has been helping me with near every step! He runs more than just a bike shop. He's a total resource in the cycling fitness journey. I love him. read more

Bikes 4 Life - Bike and plants - Bikes Near Me - Antioch, California

Went there today and purchased 2 tubes and a tool. I have an Ebike with a rear flat. I decided to bring my bike in for the repair as it's not easy to change the rear tube on this bike. He fixed it in an hour for the price quoted and did a few other things for no extra charge. It was a great experience and I will do my business there just because he treated us well. read more

Got a new bike for a friend's son this Wednesday: owner was very friendly, informative and gave us a good deal. Made sure we left satisfied and offered free future brakes/gears adjustments. Two repeat customers came in while we were there... Recommended! read more

Really appreciated the service, pricing and care that the owner provides. He was very thorough when explaining options and I didn't feel pressured to spend more than needed. Bike tubes were replaced and new tires were installed in less than 2 hours. A kind family business (with sweet friendly dogs) that I'll definitely return to when I need any bike repairs. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Would do business with them again. I highly recommend them for your biking needs.

Newbie here. Well in went bike window shopping at rei and was eyeing a coop drt 1.1 for $499 but wasnt feeling it and on a whim went to this shop just to check out what they had. I found out about the marlin 6 which was $600 and it had a lockout fork which the drt 1.1 doesnt have. I didnt wanna spend $899 for a coop drt 1.2 just for a lockout fork feature and i'm a super newbie so this was perfect. Though i guess i couldve gotten the marlin 5 which was cheaper than and more like the coop drt 1.1 but nah lol. I came in the next day after thinking about it and got sized for a bike and had it ordered since it wasn't in stock. I'm short and so are my legs lol so i was informed that it would be best to get a bike a size smaller than what the website recommended. Just took two days to arrive. After taxes it was $650 and i just went up a gravel trail and the bike was good going down on my way back. Since i didn't know anything, i asked and he showed me how to remove the tires if i ever needed to to patch a tube and gave me rundown on shifting gears and also said he moved the shifter closer to shift it easier. Also showed me how to put the lube i bought for the chains for every other week i believe? Haha. Very informative. There's also that sealant stuff in the tire he put just in case of a hole i guess if i dont have stuff? Anyway, come check this place out, i recommend it as a newbie. read more

See all

This guy tried to charge me $80.00 to change an inner tube on my e bike. I did it at home.4 bolts and 15 minutes later it was fixed. He was super rude as well and didn't care if I left unsatisfied.. read more

Friendly Staff , Willing to Help you COMPLETELY !! I needed a new seat for my PK fast bike and the seat pole that comes on the bike doesn't allow for ordinary seed exchanges, so the owner of the shop help me from 1 to 10 he explain to me the different seats he also explained me the various different seat poles that he had available and let me choose and then explain to me the type of ride I was going to get and then he installed the seat on the pole so all I had to do was come back and put it on my bike and set Height adjustment .... What more could I ask for ....¿ it was great experience thank you bikes for life read more

Bikes 4 Life - One Comfortable Seat to ride on - Bikes Near Me - Antioch, California

Quality people and service. The owner was helpful and genuine couldn't ask for a better experience. Walked away with some tricks and tips and a smile. Thanks guys! read more

Outstanding customer service!!! This was my first time visiting this shop and I was treated just as regular customers. The owner gave me great recommendations on how to deal with flat tires and taught me professional techniques freely. All his employees were enthusiastic and created a very comfortable atmosphere. It was no comparison with the one I visited last week in Brentwood. I will keep coming here from now on. read more

Honest. Solid customer service. Chong is a kind man with years of knowledge and who offers great customer service and craftsmanship.

Best bicycle shop I have ever been to, bar none. Pointed, succinct, helpful and knowledgeable. Quick turn around and fair pricing. If they don't answer the phone. Drive down there. They are there, and it is worth it. read more

I had never been in here until yesterday. My cruiser had a flat, and I knew it was going to be a persistent problem given the road and trail conditions by my house. The owner suggested new liners, one new tube, and some goo for inside the tubes to help prevent flats. Right now we are in the middle of covid19 shelter in place, and he did a great job managing the demand at his store. One customer at a time inside, wearing masks, protocol posted, sidewalk marked in 6' increments. I was also very pleased that despite his overwhelming increase in business, he was able to repair my bike the same day. He was friendly and accommodating and I would recommend his shop to anyone. read more

We only go to this shop to get our bike tires fixed. The owner is very caring, professional and honest. He also will give you suggestions on how to keep your bike working at its best. The pricing is fair and he is very accommodating. read more

My (adultl) daughter and I found this shop after being turned away in Brentwood, and not appreciating the owner's attitude. This shop was the exact opposite. The owner was courteous, took the bike in with no fuss, advised us that he was going to be closing for the thanksgiving week, but that he would try to have it ready by Friday. It was Weds. when we dropped it off: he had it ready the very next day! Reasonably priced service, and two nice dogs greet you to boot! read more

My Neighbor needed her bike fixed, so I called to inquire about repairs. The Owner said they could fix it, but I could expect a 5 week turnaround time. It was little more than a flat repair, so I drove over and purchased parts to do the work myself. Found they deal with customers 1 at a time, outside for COVID safety. I want led to go in and check new bike inventory, but She states that we're out of stock on pretty much everything. I did see new Trek Bikes in the boxes needing assembly. She stated that those bikes were special ordered and were already sold... Hard to do business with them right now. They blame COVID for it all. Sounds to me like they have too much work, and don't want to hire any help. read more

Very personal, welcoming and affordable. He has our business as long as we own bikes.

Came to B4L to fix a stuck cassette. After informing me that he is backed up for repairs, I asked him to give me an idea on how to fix it. Prepared to spend hours on learning something new. Chong took a quick glance at the cassette and gave me a suggestion that saved me time and money. I pulled out a tool and fixed it immediately, in front of the store. Since he saved me money, I asked him if he has any bikes for my daughter who is six. He had a new shipment that was delivered. One of those bikes was meant for my daughter. I purchased the bike. He built the bike and had it ready the next day. He looks like a one man shop, but he acts like he has the time to care for every person who visits. In this pandemic, every bike shop I've visited has had stressed out and overwhelmed workers. I'm sure he is overwhelmed, but he handles the stress like a champion. Thanks B4L and Chong. read more

If your a bike person, you will like this shop. The owner(Chong) doesn't try to up sell and tells you what you need giving you the option to have him do it or go elsewhere. If your looking for a slick salesman who will kiss your behind, don't go here. If your looking for a professional that speaks truth then Chong is your guy. I had issues with disc brakes bought from eBay, Chong tried to install brakes only to discover they were bad. Chong worked with me until we were able to get my bike on the road and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. read more

When I was young my parents bought me my first bike here, I went there through all this pandemic and the same guy that helped my parents helped me to get my daughter a bike for Easter!! Great place, awesome service always go to him for bike purchase or repairs, great service and affordable prices. read more

First time here for a flat tire repair. Owner Cheung was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the repair time was only a couple of hours. The labor fee was very reasonable. I'll be back for any future needs. read more

Rude customer service the owner treats customers like they are a bother . I should have read the reviews before going there would have saved me a lot of time . Go to the bike shops in Brentwood instead they're both nice not like this miserable dude. read more

Incredible experience! The owner really helped me out on the spur of the moment. Great knowledge of my bike and cute dogs to make the place feel like home. I just found my hometown bike shop and it's called Bikes 4 life. read more

I have never gone to a bike shop before and this was my first visit. I had gone in to fix my 26" bike back tire and a smaller 20" bike front tire. The tubes were bad. There were 3 people in line when I got there and Chong took me in within 10-mins. He's super fast and super helpful. He will not sell you anything you don't need. In-fact he guided me and taught me how I can fix one of the tires myself. He even gave me a tire changing tool for free... amazing experience! Thank you CHONG!!! read more
