There were three of us visiting from out of town and we all had different ability levels. We called Brown Cycles and the owner, Chris, was completely accommodating, friendly, and funny. The price was very reasonable for the rental, and Brielle was very helpful at the register as well. I'm only sad that I have to travel all the way to Colorado to visit them again. But when I do make a trip back, I'll definitely be visiting Brown Cycles! read more

Helped with the last 5 of my bicycle purchases. Fair priced, friendly staff, good to have in the community.

Don't rent here if you expect a functional bike. Rented a tandem and half the gears did not function. read more

This business is not taking COVID seriously, doesn't require masks and thinks it's not a big deal. They clearly don't care about your health, or theirs. I won't step foot in here even after the pandemic is over. There are plenty of shops in town that take it seriously. read more

They brokered a sale to me of a bike with frame damage. The pictures didn't show the damage. This shop has no moral integrity and is perfectly okay with selling damaged product by trying to be sneaky. Would highly recommend that no one goes to this shop, because there might be safety issues with the equipment they sell/rent. read more

I am an avid cyclist and own several bicycles. I was in Browns one day looking at trikes. I saw one I wanted to take for a spin and asked the owner if he could make that happen. He looked at the trike and then at the door and then I guess, because he realized it was inconvenient as he was going to have to fit it through the door, asked me "are you serious?" That's the last time I visited that LBS. read more

Renting gravel grinder bicycles from Brown Cycles was an excellent experience for us. Chris Brown and his employees made sure that the bikes we rented were equipped for the three day gravel grinder tour that we signed up for through the San Juan Hut System. We loved the shop and found some fun stocking stuffers as well. We want to thank the people at Brown Cycles for their patience and support. read more

Wow, what great customer service from Caleb! I rented a bike with a friend and immediately got a flat. Caleb (and Cal) immediately fixed it and got us back on the road. Next day, a separate issue. We received a discount and can't wait to return to ride this bike again. Thank you brown cycle and Caleb for ensuring we enjoyed our time in grand junction. read more

All around some pretty nice guys and gals. For small items I usually just go to whatever shop is closest at the time (I'm a wandering cyclist: why get a roof rack when you could just ride your bike there?), but when I have questions, or when I need something big I usually go here. The owner is very nice, knows his stuff, and has a good sense of humor. Their head mechanic, Woody, is very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions (even if I haven't bought anything). I'm not sure if he works there anymore (I haven't seen him in a very long time), but Marty was also pretty cool and helpful. I think the main reason why these guys are my favorite shop is that they've never ragged on my ride. When I first started really getting into cycling, I had a cheap department store bike. When I would bring it in with problems, or even questions about how to make it a better bike, they didn't just tell me it was impossible/not worth it and try to upsell me to one of their own bikes. They actually gave me advice on how to make this cheap bike into a reliable ride, and thanks to their help, that bike has traveled a few thousand miles (much further than the average cheap bike ever goes). It isn't my only bike anymore (and certainly not my best one), but I don't take insults to it lightly! Getting it to this point took some work and some learning, and Brown's was always willing to show me how to do various repairs and parts installations. And therein lies their strength. There is no pretentious, holier-than-thou attitude that is prevalent in the cycling community at large. They just want to help folks enjoy cycling (and make a living while they are at it). My only complaint is that ordering parts in can sometimes take a week or more (I want it nowwww), and I often have to have parts ordered in due to the weird assortment of bikes I ride (for clarification, most of the other shops in town don't have what I need in stock either... the joys of having weird bikes). read more

Being a cyclist means you keep a mental log of where's good and where to avoid. But when you're a traveling cyclist visiting shoppes for the sake of curiosity, how do you know who's trustworthy? In part, you need to rely on the staff you give you words of advice, smiles, good nature, and all-around pleasant experience. Brown Cycles gave this couple from Denver an experience to remember. Not only did the mrs find a superb mountain bike in the consignment area, but I found something ridiculous for my collection. What we particularly enjoyed was how easy-going the staff was (i.e. no sales pressure, just helpful information) and their desire to make us happy. Well, we sure did leave happy with our new toys. Point is: bikes shoppes are dime a dozen in Colorado, but Brown Cycles is something special and Grand Junction should be thrilled to have them aboard. read more

First time in Grand Junction and I broke a rear axel. The team at Brown's did everything they could to get it fixed including letting me use one of there bikes to go to a competitors shop to see if they had the parts. I got it fixed and am rolling again. Thanks for the great customer service. read more

Brown Cycles - Bikes Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We went to Grand Junction on the train from Denver for a little work and a little play but not to buy a bike. We were staying in the downtown area and we walked the shops and wondered in to Brown Cycles. I had been in the market for a road bike to purchase to celebrate my one year anniversary of having both my knees replaced but really didn't want to purchase from a shop so far away from me. We were approached by Jade who was very willing to listen what I was looking for as a novice biker but looking for a good bike that I could get my knees back in shape with. We never felt under pressure and she gave me a number of options. We told her we would return the next day to discuss further. We did return and Jade remembered who we were and asked if I wanted to ride the bike for the afternoon and give it a test ride. I agreed and they also gave my wife a bike to ride so we could ride together. I loved the bike and purchased it. I got a fitting and at one point talked with about every employee in the shop and got the same fantastic service from each one. They boxed the bike up for the train ride home and Chris, the owner, delivered it to the train station the next morning for the trip home. I did have one concern with the bike when I got home and Chris made sure I was taken care of completely here in Denver with a Bianchi dealer. I'm a non local of Grand Junction who now calls Brown Cycles my bike shop. read more

I had my bike stolen right before the summer got started, so I was in search for some new wheels, that weren't too expensive. This bike shop has a nice selection of bikes, new, and especially on consignment (in the back). The guy who assisted me was super courteous, well informed about all things bike, and very helpful with contacting the person who was selling the bike I wanted. I ended up getting a screaming deal on a perfect new-used mtn bike in great condition. They even did a brief check up/tune before I was out the door. I am very happy with their service, and not to mention the convenient location. Hands down they have the best used bike selection. Also: be on the look out for their Bike Lock-up stations all around town! read more

I'm visiting town and just had my road bike stolen (Specialized Tarmac Comp with Ultegra components). I walked into Brown's the same day and got to talking with Chris and another customer about it. Both Chris and the other customer were extremely sympathetic and took the time to listen to what happened and offer suggestions on how I might get the bike back. The other customer happened to be retired law enforcement and gave me tips on working with the police on the case. Chris then took the time to introduce me to the mechanic and he too had some good suggestions and encouragement. We talked about cycling for a while and some of the big races that had come through the area over the years. I mentioned to Chris I was disappointed I couldn't get to ride the famous Monument loop and he offered to lend me a road bike my size on the spot. He gave me a bottle of water to go and overall I left feeling better. Thanks Chris! read more

I already owned a couple of bikes when I moved to GJ last summer. I've taken my bike there for work many times. Every time the work was done earlier than promised, at a very reasonable price, and with excellent results. Plus, the folks there are very friendly, like if it was your brother's shop. I've recommended Brown Cycles to my friends, family, and newbies to town. If I need my bike worked on, or want a new one, Brown's is where I'm going! PS: Looks like all the reviews are 5 stars, as well it should be. How does Google get 4.8 out of all 5 stars???? If there was a 6 star, Brown's deserves it! Not only are they an awesome bike shop, but they are also very involved with the community and do their part to help make GJ a great place to live! read more

Love Brown Cycles! My whole family has gotten their bikes thru them and we've always been extremely happy with everything!

Bought a rental bike for $300.00. Got home ,tires only had 20pds of air, chain is dry. Not very clean. Guess I should have checked it out a little better. read more

I took the bicycle maintenance class on Wednesday evening with two other cycle enthusiasts and found it extremely informative and fun. I feel more confident that I can perform general maintenance and fixes on my own, but will certainly trust the complicated stuff to the pros at Browns Cycles. Thanks to Chris's friendly Team I'll be back, if only to kibitz. Biff Messinger Grand Junction read more

Rented a couple of Trek Fuels that were in great condition. Brakes were perfect, shifting was on point. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rentals do not include an multi tool however as the shop is rightfully worried about renters not using torque specs. This was a big problem for us as our saddles were angled upward and we didn't catch it at the shop. In addition, our pedals were so tight that it caused me to crash a couple of times. Bring your own pedals as these were pretty trashed. Also, the multi day discount doesn't kick in until day 3. Other local shops are cheaper and have an additional discount at day 2. I would shop around. read more

Highly Recommended. Owner/ Operator Chris Brown went beyond the call of duty. (he even gave me his cell phone to make sure things went smooth for pickup after my flight in from Fort Lauderdale.) Very helpful. My family rented 2 mountain bikes. high quality equipment. price was good. We had a blast. BC staff was courteous and knowledgable. I would def use them again. Thanks Chris. read more

I bought my last MTB here for about $3500 and regretted giving them any $ ever since. I waited weeks for replacement parts only to call back and find out they hadn't ordered them yet. The owner was pretentious and not helpful. read more

Great bike shop in a wonderful downtown location. The employees are helpful and friendly. There is a great selection of bikes for sale, and a decent selection of rental bikes- mostly mountain bikes of course. The only thing that would make this bike shop better would be a better and more affordable selection of road bike rentals. read more

I bought a used mountain bike here for my son and they did a great job of updating with state of the art components and goats head resistant tires. The expanded shop is pretty impressive. Turnaround is fast on repairs. read more

Quality. Customer. Service. I have been in many shops, most are unremarkable or terrible. Chris and his team are happy, easy to talk to and just get it. I rented a long travel bike from them for the day and it was in perfect mechanical order, which is often not the case with rentals in my experience. While there Chris noticed a rear pivot on my short travel race bike was loose and repaired it while I was out riding (unprovoked and after asking if he could). That's just above and beyond! Thanks Chris, I'll be back. read more

As a novice, I had a great experience at Browns. They were super helpful, patient, and accommodating. They have a great selection and their consignment section is also great. I would highly recommend them to everybody, local or non. read more

I have rented mountain bikes from Brown Cycles twice and they were extremely helpful. I'm relatively new to the mountain biking scene, but they gave me what I needed and were great to work with. I would definitely recommend them for any of your rental needs. We rented 29" bikes which were great to ride on the trails at 18-Road and at Loma. In fact we rented 2 weekends in a row. read more

I prefer to use Brown Cycles. I like it because the owner is usually always there. Prices are fair, and product mix is good. Keep up the great work. read more
