    Great shop it was recommended by a few friends. Definitely recommend checking it out if you need a new bike or service on your old bike.

    Our bike crew GPR's ( Giroy Pare Riders) trusted bike shop! Ivan is an honest and experienced with bike repairs. He's my go to guy for my road bikes and future gravel bike. Did I mention how reasonably priced this place as well?!

    This bike shop is hands down one of my favorite things about riding bikes. As an avid cyclist for the past six years I do all types of bike riding now. I have been in shops all across the country from Philly, Colorado, & now Northern Cali, this bike shop is one of the best I have ever set foot in. My first experience here was before they even opened for the day. my friend & I were heading out on an early morning ride from the boardwalk & he got a flat as we rode down Mission. the first two bike shops that we passed refused service on a basic flat until they were "officially open". We saw the Cycleworks sign further down Mission & took one last shot at finding some real bike techs in this town. We saw someone inside but the shop was not "open". A guy inside saw us & came out. We begged him for help & he looked at us like we were crazy & said,"of course i'll help you out this is a bike shop?!" He asked us what trails we planned to ride & even gave us some helpful tips on our journey. Get this the guy who helped us that day was Sterling who owns the place?! I cant thank him enough we had a great ride that day. I live over the hill in Sunnyvale currently but I have made this my Local Bike Shop because they provide excellent service, no matter what they always give the customer all options & never up-sell or assume your ability. These guys ride bikes, eat bikes, & sleep on bikes, but for real they know their shit. They take care of my four bikes as if they were their own. mountain, road, e-bikes, does not matter they know it all. I have worked in service industry almost my entire life, Cycleworks gets it. There is no corporate asshole telling these guys they can't help customers before an official open, they love to see you have fun on bikes as much as they do themselves. It's not hard to find pompous assholes in Santa Cruz, many surf & bike shops are packed full of them, but you won't find any at Cycleworks. My hat goes off to Sterling, Ivan, Brad, Pat, Iggy, & the Bens for treating me like a local friend instead of a tourist or transplant infringing on the two wheel good times that are a-plenty in beautiful Santa Cruz. Thanks guys, your awesome at what you do

    Took her for a ride and it felt great

    Got a tuneup on my bike as it was due and thought I'd give this place a tray as Gilroy no longer has a local bike shop.

    We had a fantastic time with Cathy on our tour of Carmel by the Sea. They have a few different…read moretours so make sure you know which one you booked as all start from the same place and (from what I could tell...) same time. Cathy actually texted me the night before to introduce herself and provide a few instructions and tips. A key tip is bring water and a small back pack or fanny pack to put the bottle in. The bikes don't all have baskets and the baskets don't hold things very well. So you might also bring a small bungee cord to keep things "in the basket" should you get a bike with a basket. Check in was a breeze. The most "difficult" part of the whole tour was finding helmets that fit and sizing the bike seats There were 6 in our tour. We left right on time at 10 and got back at 12:45. We stopped multiple times for photo ops and to look at different properties. We even got to walk through the La Playa hotel which is a beautiful property! I loved seeing and learning about the Comstock homes and the fact that the homes in Carmel by the Sea do not have street addresses. (They will soon as a new reg has passed that every property now needs a proper address... Not just a name.) All in all, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour very much. I don't ride bikes often anymore as an adult and this was the first time riding an E-Bike. The learning curve is easy once you know the difference between Eco, Sport and Turbo. I enjoyed it and it made the tour almost effortless. Highly recommend Mad Dogs! Note....the coffee shop is just up around the corner. You cannot access it directly from the bike shop.

    Absolutely worth the drive over the hill! ‍…read more Driving to Bicycle Trip in Santa Cruz was 100% worth it! After a terrible experience buying my first e-bike at a shop in Santa Clara, walking into Bicycle Trip was such a breath of fresh air. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They helped us find the perfect e-bike and an electric bike rack , and we felt supported every step of the way. We were so impressed that we even came back to purchase a lock because we completely trusted their recommendations. Their customer rewards points program is another huge bonus--it's a fantastic way to save money! If you're looking for exceptional customer service, honest advice, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, I can't recommend Bicycle Trip in Santa Cruz enough! We'll definitely be back!

    Hi Aaron, thank you for reaching out personally and for acknowledging what happened. I appreciate…read morethe apology and your offer to make things right. Unfortunately, because I needed my bike and had already waited for my scheduled appointment, I had to take it to another bike shop the same day I picked it up from your shop. They were able to take it in right away, complete what I needed, and get me back on the road. My disappointment really wasn't about the software update itself--it was about making an appointment, dropping my bike off as scheduled, and then finding out two days later that it hadn't even been looked at. I had made the appointment specifically so this wouldn't happen. I do appreciate you taking the time to respond and acknowledge the mistake. I hope this experience helps prevent something similar from happening to another customer. I value good customer service, and unfortunately, this experience fell short of that. Thank you again for reaching out.

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding the Pedego Bike Shop in Livermore based on my recent…read moreexperiences. While the shop appears to excel in its core rental business--reflected in consistently positive customer reviews and a strong reputation for providing a smooth, enjoyable rental experience--the same level of performance does not seem to carry over to its sales and customer communication practices. In particular, the sales process felt less organized and attentive than expected. Communication around product availability, follow-up, and overall customer engagement could be improved to better match the high standard set by the rental side of the business. Clearer, more proactive communication and a more structured approach to sales would likely enhance customer confidence and satisfaction. Given the success of the rental operation, there is a strong foundation to build upon. I would suggest that by aligning the sales activity that has been primarily driven by the 2025/26 AVA rebate program to closely match what has been demonstrated in rentals would significantly strengthen the overall customer experience. In addition it appears based on investigation additional costs to consumers ( shipping and to some users higher assembly costs) were added when submitting a sales request via the AVA program. Based on these experiences I would not recommend using Pedego for the reminder of the 2026 AVA program.. I hope this constructive feedback is helpful and contributes to continued improvement.
