    Ramona and I were on day 9 of our bike touring adventure. I needed a bike mechanic to look deeply into what was ailing my bike and I needed to get back to my adventure. Brian was very quick to respond to my message and made an appointment with me first thing I the morning. He thoroughly inspected my bike and went way beyond what I would have expected from a shop mechanic. After Brian was done, my bike was running smoothly and that annoying "thump, thump, thump" was gone. And his fee was more than reasonable.

    I'm new to more "serious" biking and recently got a used road and mtb off Craigslist. I've been enjoying fixing some easy things myself but inevitably you run into problems you aren't sure about. Getting in touch with Brian was perfect for me since he could fix the things I didn't know how to fix and point out real issues I wasn't even aware of. He's prompt, responsive, and reliable. And if he doesn't know about some detail, he's open about it and eager to learn about it. If you are looking for a quick fix to get back on the road or trail, def get in touch with Brian.

    If you're looking for an amazing bike mechanic in Marin, I highly recommend Bike by Brian in Sausalito. I upgraded my whole groupset and he did such a fantastic job on it. He's very responsive, the job is reasonably priced and he even gives you updates on your bike. You can really tell that he loves what he's doing. I'm so glad we found him and will definitely use his services again. Thanks Brian!

    Brian was all set up to work.  Personalized attention. I wasn't the only one in need either

    Nice guy. Very fair. Will go back. Helped make an old bike safer to ride for my son.

    Brian was amazing at getting my son's mountain bike back on the road after a pretty major wipe out.

    Tam Bikes is one of those rare shops that turns a purchase into a long-term relationship. We bought…read moretwo EMTBs from them, and somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like we were just customers and started feeling like we had a go-to crew for anything bike related. That kind of loyalty is earned, and they earned it fast. From the beginning, the level of service stood out. They took the time to really walk us through options, made sure the bikes actually fit how and where we ride, and never once made it feel rushed or transactional. Even after the purchase, they have been just as dialed in. Questions, adjustments, tune-ups, it is all handled with the same level of care and attention. Honestly, they have set the standard for what a bike shop should feel like. The bikes are incredible, but it is the people that make the difference. We ride more because of them, we trust their recommendations, and we know we are taken care of every time we walk in. Customers for life is not something we say lightly, but here it just fits.

I am an experienced road and mountain cyclist but didn't know much about how to think about choosing an e-bike for me. i just turned 76 and had been experimenting renting e-mountain bikes from Tam. Hella fun but a bit too heavy for me. they recommended I try a specialized Vado sl, and loved it. Half the weight of the mountain bike and can easily ride it around town and even lift it on my bike rack. Really appreciated their patience with and love the bike I ended up with. 5 stars all around! I will continue to rent the Specialized e-mountain bike from them. not willing to give it up yet!!!

    I'm so used to bike rental places to be staffed by apathetic teenagers with little to no knowledge…read moreor interest in what they're doing. Vs someone who is going to try to upsell you on everything. Not here... What an amazing experience. I called the night we arrived in Tiburon, expecting an answering machine, but instead got Dave (the owner) while he was on a bike ride. He offered to bring me a pair of bikes that night! Suffering from some unexpected vertigo, I decided to postpone, and possibly nix my bike riding plans altogether. Dave #2 met us at the shop in Sausalito (an interesting old warehouse, former window hardware manufacturing facility) and he proceeded to set us up with maps, guidance on conditions, and fitting my wife with her helmet and bike fully so that there was no doubt that everything would fit perfectly. Dave#2 was so zen about everything and it was obvious that he takes the care and maintenance of the bikes to heart. Their bikes are in immaculate shape, not a spot of rust, no scratches, no dirt. While getting ready, he was so caring and considerate, asking multiple times if we wanted some water or to use the bathroom before we went, even offering gloves in case it was too cold. This is not what I expect from the type of business that takes care of visitors whom they may never see again. We took a ride out to the Golden Gate, and Dave kept in contact through the trip, even taking pix of us when we got back. Dave and Dave run a very special business and I would rate them 20 stars if I could.

    We last minute decided to rent e-bikes for a ride when Muir Woods closed for the shutdown. We…read morecalled Vacation Bike Rentals to see if they had "day of" rentals still available and talked to the owner David. He was very accommodating and made it easy to set up the rental. Then when we went to pick up the bikes, the other Dave in the shop was very hospitable as well. The whole experience was excellent. This is not a corporate rental shop, it's like renting from an old friend.....but an old friend who has top notch rental bikes.
