Wow!! What an amazing experience! When I showed up at Block Bikes the first time I walked in and Rich was in the back working on some bikes. I had massively messed up my brand new e-bike and needed someone to help me get it fixed up. I went in and told him exactly what had happened and all the silly things I'd done to try to fix it before breaking it further. (yeah I'm that guy) That was a couple years and 8,006 miles ago now. He doesn't troubleshoot or work on the "electric" parts, but does an amazing job doing all the things that regular bikes need to keep them functioning safely and in top condition. Tires, tubes, tanus liners, chains, lube, brake pads, brake discs, the shifter replacement, re-adjusting levers after I crash and mangle them, brake line bleeding, etc. He has a really nice range of supplies and bike accessories, as well as lots of regular bikes in-stock for purchase. Couldn't ask for more friendly service. He's always got a big smile to greet me with and will stop to chat when he's got the time. Great prices, great atmosphere. Each time I go in I know Rich will take good care of whatever I have going on at the moment. I didn't realize I could enjoy a bike shop experience so much; I'd give Block Bikes 6 stars if it'd let me. I've watched him work with every level of rider from top-end competitors, to first-time riders to kids and various disabled and more elderly folks; and he does a great job of meeting people where they're at and assisting them accordingly. read more

I love this shop! Rich is the most knowledgeable and the only one who actually knows how to fix my bike! The new location is great and closer to my house. The Vibe is perfect at the new shop! Thank you for always taking of my bikes! read more

I came in looking for a bike and he was so helpful .I found the perfect bike. I really loved Cheryl she was so helpful.

10 Stars if I could! I just picked up my ride because it was long due for a tune up and also had a slight bent front wheel. All I can say is great customer service from an awesome guy! I am grateful for his kindness as well as knowledge. Rich went above and beyond to get me back on the road! Thank you for taking care of my ride and showing true compassion will be returning for future services read more

Block Bikes - My Sweet Ride - Bikes Near Me - Palmdale, California

Came in to pick up a lock for a New Schwinn Mountain Bike. Rich was very helpful in finding the right lock and setting up,the combo etc. He also put air in the tires, checked out the brakes and shocks, very helpful! Found my new bike shop!!! read more

Owner is very gracious. The customer service and detail to my bike was perfect. I couldn't get the screw back into my bike after I, myself repaired my flat tire. The owner of the shop put the screws back on my bike tire, checked the work I did to the back tire, put additional air in the tires, and performed a quick check up of my bike. He did this all for free thank you. I recommend this bike store/shop for purchasing and repairs. Customer service is awesome. read more

Never going back... Employee ask me to go outside cuz I was on my phone talking to friend about a bike I was looking at....He didn't tell the WHITE LADY to go outside and she was her phone..... read more

Just left this shop, owner is a total jerk! Accused us of taking his "tickets" ... some promotional flyers for a circus that's coming to town. We shopped the store bought about $40 worth of merchandise, walked around trying to kill time because he was busy repairing someone's bike. He never acknowledged us. Never said he'd be right with us ... just awkward silence. After about 20 minutes he looked at us so we could proceed to check out. My husband was the one that greeted him. Didn't apologize or at the very least acknowledge the time we waited. All for the sake of trying to support a small shop. On our way out the shop he said, "could you guys put those back?" We didn't know he was talking to us but out of courtesy turned around to see if he was talking to us. Confused, we said, "these?" He said, "yes, those are our tickets." He accused us of stealing tickets ... again, they were promotional flyers. Needless to say, never coming back! I would have totally preferred to give a big chain my money instead of being profiled as a thief. What a jerk. Lucky we were so confused ... and not in the mood to call him out on his stupidity. read more

I have had my Electra Beach Cruiser for about twelve years now. I ride it almost every day. In the last month or so I noticed that my beloved bike just wasn't performing the way it used to; it wasn't as fun or as casual to ride. One night we had dinner at Goldfish Sushi and we stopped into Block Bikes. I wanted to look at new bikes. I was preparing myself for the worst; that I was going to need a new bike. I spoke with Rich about what was going on with my bike. He told me to bring it in and he would make it as good as new. He did! My bike rides better than it ever has before! He cleaned it up to where it looks and feels brand new! The best part was since I made an appointment he only had my bike for six hours and I didn't even have to miss out on one bike ride. Great bike shop/great customer service! Thank you Rich! ‍ read more

Block Bikes - Bikes Near Me - Palmdale, California

I've been a customer at this location for sometime. I purchased my daughter's bicycle several months ago and have been very happy with it. I decided to have my older bike tuned up. I've always had problems with the gears not shifting correctly. Rich spent a significant amount of time perfecting my shifting mechanism, and it works better than it did when I first bought it. He is a real professional and dedicated to providing excellent service. I highly recommend block bikes for all your bicycle needs, including repairing older bicycles. read more

So lucky to have found this place. There was a problem with my sons bike tire and I took it in. Less than 10 minutes he fixed it. He went above and beyond by also adjusting it to my sons height so it can be a smoother ride. After we left my son rode his bicycle and he said it's the nicest it's felt . So happy we came, we saw a lot of cool accessories too at the shop and will definitely be coming back to upgrade his equipment read more

Note: I rarely find cause to rate a business (good or bad), but my experience today more than warranted it. Preface: I brought a homemade, classic Italian-style road frame to a different local bike shop to have the headset cups pressed into the head tube after speaking with them over the phone. After attempting to do so (and chipping the frame paint), they said they were unable and referred me to well-known shops down in Santa Clarita who could do it. I called one of them, with whom I've had work done before, and they suggested Block Bikes as being the superior option (of all the bike shops in Lancaster/Palmdale/Santa Clarita). Bonus: it would save a 45 minute drive each way. Block Bikes: I brought the frame into Block Bikes where Rich (the owner?) was super helpful in evaluating the issue and able to easily install the headset cups. During my visit he also worked with a couple customers to size and select the right bikes for their needs. I was super impressed with his knowledge of everything from vintage-style road bikes through modern mountain biking (and everything between). It was clear that he wants his customers to be happy with their purchase, both now and for as long as they own the bike, and he was a pleasure to chat with. Takeaway: I plan to make this my go-to bike shop for anything I can't do at at home for my wife's bikes or mine. They have a well-appointed repair shop to service pretty much every type of bicycle, their recommendations are tailored to each individual's needs, and they care about customer satisfaction. Many thanks (if you see this), Rich! read more

Rich really knows his stuff, very helpful and accommodating. Super nice, goes the extra mile!

Such a good shop! The friendliest staff and super knowledgeable and helpful. I brought in my bike that I felt had no hope in fixing, but they magically fixed it! And at a great price too. 10/10 recommend for all your bike needs! read more

Friendly & professional service! Took care of me the same day-and fairly priced. Highly recommend!!

I almost didn't go because of a couple of the reviews but I'm very glad I did. I called the "Squeaky Wheel" twice. The first time a guy told me I'd have to leave my new bike for a couple days to replace a chain. The second time a girl answered the phone and I swear she didn't know the correct address or how I should get there. Because of that I proceeded to Block. Rich the owner was very helpful/knowledgeable of my new electric bike. The poor guy stayed busy the entire time I was in the shop answering phone calls from many people calling for advice. Since I upgraded to a very fast electric bike he helped my find a great helmet too. Honestly, even though I live on the other side of town I will certainly go back and recommend the same to others interested in supporting small business with someone so skilled. read more

Have been dealing with Block for many years in both his bike and uniform businesses. Rich is a great guy down to earth family man as we seem to run into his lovely wife April and precocious daughter (her name is escaping me) Reilly? On most visits. He never up sells me. Joey his tech is polite knowledgeable young man. Fast to get me back on the road. I feel blessed to have their shop to turn to. Much thanks read more

They're not closed. They've moved from their space on Avenue L to 30th & Rancho Vista Blvd. I just drove passed their new location on 10/31/2021. They're closed on Sunday, but the door says they have regular business hours and there is stock inside. read more

Rich is awesome!!! He has alway's grate to deal with read more

Block Bike Shop has been my go to bike shop for years now, and the new location at Rancho Vista in Palmdale is really convenient. Brandon is a mechanical genius and Rich, the owner is the real deal, a straight shooter who won't steer you wrong! read more

When I moved to the AV more than 10 yrs ago I tried a couple of other bike shops. One had kids doing repairs that didn't know what they were doing and spent all their time ignoring customers and laughing with each other, the second shop tried to sell me a bike that didn't fit me & that I didn't want then I heard about Block Bikes. Rich was a pro cyclist, knew everything about repair & bikes and was more interested in treating the customer rights and getting them what they needed. Over the years I've purchased several bikes, had them professionally fitted by Rich and have taken the bikes in when I needed maintenance, repair, parts, or information. I haven't set foot in another bike shop since I discovered Block Bikes. BTW - the 1st two shops I mentioned went out of business years ago! read more

I'm an older lady with a rollator (read "walker with brakes"). My brakes were stuck. They were locked and the walker is the only way I can get around in my house. So I called BLOCK BIKES. The brakes looked like hand brakes on a bike, so what the heck? Well, a nice young man answered the phone and told me "Don't exactly know what you're talking about but come on down." Well, I get there and Trevor was my knight in shining armour. He was the young man I spoke to on the phone. He took me right in and worked on my walker. It gave him a fight, but he never gave up. Once he was done I ask him what did I owe him, he said, "Nothing! And if you have anymore problems, you come on back." Now I'm rolling along and "sitting pretty", all because of Trevor and BLOCK BIKES. That is the kind of selfless attention to customers makes you come back. Whoever hired young Trevor was quite a smart person. Because I am a grandmother to 9 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild and when I get ready to buy bikes for them guess where I'm going?! Thanks again Trevor. read more

This is a great shop. Friendly and very helpful. Ignore the bad reviews. Rich is a great person and very helpful

Drove from very far away to purchase a MTB. I am a bicycle mechanic and was impressed by the bike shop owner (only person working) taking care of customers coming in while also conducting repairs in his service department. Was also impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm as he helped the various types of customers (i.e. experienced riders, novices, youth, etc.) that came through. Class act! read more

I wouldn't bother going here to buy a bike or even parts. I've purchased 2 bikes here and the owner felt the need to be rude when I had some questions. There wasn't anything I did that warranted that type of behavior. Save your time and don't bother with them. read more

If I could give out bonus stars to only ONE business, I would pick Block Bikes and give them 10 stars! They are by far the best bike shop I have ever visited and I've been to shops in Long Beach, Burbank, and Santa Clarita. Block bikes has the best prices and most importantly service than anywhere else!! When you buy a quality bike, you want to get a good initial price but you also want to have the piece of mind that you can take the bike back for adjustments and they will take care of you! Well, these guys are it. You become a customer for life. In conclusion, support local business and be smart... go to Block Bikes! All my close friends went there and got their bikes from them, and we will be getting my husbands bike from there in a few months too! read more

I called to bring my electric bike in to get the shifter lever replaced and tune up the gears and they refused to work on it due to buying the bike online??? He stated that working on my bike will put him out of business, How dumb is that, they obviously have a skill set that I do not have AND I am more than willing to pay for the service and he refused to work on it. So I will gladly drive across town and get it fixed by another bike shop that is willing to work. read more

Owner Rich super cool dude help me get the bike I've been looking for SE big Ripper great price thanks my brother read more

See all

I would give them a zero star if I could. They sold us a mirror and said if it does not fit bike then return it for an exchange or refund. Went back a couple days later as it did not work on my bike and he refused to exchange or return and then accused me of damaging the product and pointed to some small defect on the mirror which was a wave in the mirror I had not even noticed and I told him i never used it and the wave is a defect and he sold me a defective product. He refused to honor the return. I have been a long time customer and my family has several bikes and started going there too. Not anymore as we will never shop there again. Terrible service and the audacity to accuse me of damaging something I never even used. $20 product will cost him a lot more in lost business. Shaking my head! read more

We had the pleasure of speaking with the manager Dan. Awesome is an understatement. We spent about 1 hour and some change in there and we knew so much more after we left. Dan titled it "knowledge vomit" which made me laugh so much. Ok, so Dan has a ton of knowledge, is honest, not time pressured, funny, and everything else that customer service should stand for. In the store you can feel the atmosphere and it is refreshing to find people with passion for what they are selling combined with passion for people. A bike is an investment that you should feel good about, but after the amount of knowledge gained, test driving 3 bikes we know that a "Walmart" bike is not the way to go for us. Thank you Dan for being amazing!!!! read more

Awesome people! Dan and Smiley () changed out my wheelchair tires and tubes for me. Super friendly and helpful. They will always be my go to! read more

Fantastic! My wife bought her bike here about year ago. The sales process was excellent. No high pressure, just trying to make sure it was the right bike for her. And they took the time to make sure the bike was fitted just right for her before she left. Outstanding sales and service. We've been back a few times since and each time the folks at Block have been extremely attentive, whether it was for something as simple as gloves or as big as a full on sizing for a bike bought at another dealer. These guys are great! read more

Super guys at Block Bikes. I went in looking for a seat post and they were very helpful. Jake was great. Definitely recommend Block Bikes for bike parts and tune-ups. read more
