    I went to Biketopia Community Workshop for the first time to do a thorough check and tuneup of a…read moregood bicycle. I was greeted, welcomed, and given the lay of the land of how this workshop works, by a bicycle volunteer. Biketopia is just what I need: Bike stands, coaching and the right tools. I paid for an annual membership - which is about what I could have spent at professional bicycle repair shop to accomplish what we got done and will do next time. I went to my car and brought in the Fuji endurance road bike, and was immediately to able to put it up on a free bike stand - so we could begin to see what was Up - and calling for attention. The volunteer - a veteran Berkeley cyclist - was friendly, observant and a very good coach: He observed and let me do - what I could do with relative ease - and he showed me how to do the Next Thing - right. He carefully checked the brakes, and showed me how to see exactly what was going on with the front brake . He knew how to do both the fine and gross adjustment of the brakes, and had the proper tools for each. And showed me how to adjust and fine tune the adjustment of my brakes, so I was able to do the work and have him check my adjustments. He heard and understood my report of some recent shifting issues and gear jumping. He checked and showed me how both derailleurs were shiifting and the simple adjustments we cojuld make. He offered to measure the wear of the chain. Since the chain was about 50% or 60% worn - I decided this would be a great time to replace it. The volunteer found exactly the right chain from their small inventory of new parts. He showed me how this chain's magic link worked, slighly different than the link on my current chain. Then how to install the new chain. He and i worked on the getting the derailleurs to shift just right. It took some skill I did not have - but soon I learned. Then he showed me how to check my rims for true - and how to adjust them - using their simple wheel truing apparatus and a spoke wrench and the right technique. I took good enough wheels and made them truer and better. We put the wheels back in and did a final adjustment on the brakes and derailleurs. Ready to ride for 50 mile runs - up and down the Berkeley hils - safely and smoothly. Next time I will work on improving the dish of my front wheel. This is a great place, if you want to learn how to take care of your bicycyle in a tightly packed community workshop.

    This place is honestly amazing. I gave my friend a bike for burning man but wasn't sure if it was…read moreup to par. I saw this place and decided to check it out with her before she left. Turns out it's a community bike shop where people can bring their bikes to get repaired and even learn how to do it! We learned so much about bikes that we didn't know before. I can actually repair a bike now myself if needed. Everyone was so nice and willing to help. They have so much supplies, everything we needed was taken care of. Despite our labor taking over a hour and multiple things being fixed, we were only charged about $25. Well worth the price and quality. I appreciate this place so much and will definitely be back.

    Careless customer treatment won't bring me back here…read more New, not so knowledgeable clerk showed me e-bikes, arranged to get the model he sold me on, then let store sell it to someone else. Glad I learned that's how they roll before I bought from Mike's Bikes Berkeley. I can imagine getting service from them is probably similarly sloppy and inattentive.

    Really overpriced for repairs and they have terrible policies. (Go to Tip Top Bikes or anywhere…read moreelse). A spoke broke on my back wheel. Then it broke again a few months later. I took it to Mike's Bikes both times and it cost $80 each time to replace a spoke! Then the spoke (or a different spoke) broke again about a week after the 2nd time. They said they'd re-do it for free, but I should really just replace the whole back wheel. I suggested they just apply the $80 bucks' worth of labor they were about to give me and apply it towards a new rear wheel, which was going to run somewhere between $100 and $200 and I'd pay the difference. The manager wouldn't do that. So they fixed the spoke a third time, and when I picked it up -- having to take the bus each time -- he said I really should get the rear wheel replaced and that it wasn't safe to ride. As if he cared about my safety!! The spoke broke again about a week after that 3rd repair, but I surely won't take it back to Mike's Bike's! I've made an appointment to get the rear wheel replaced at a different shop. It was a frustrating saga with Mike's Bikes and a huge waste of my time and money. I think they're really only interested in selling high-end bikes, not in providing any kind of decent or cost-effective repairs.
