Sunday (today): My husband and I make the drive, from Oceanside, and enter the shop, which had zero customers, but 3 employees just sitting, and immediately could feel I was an inconvenience well before I asked about services.

Ummm OK, no problem, but holy wow on employing 3 staff who looked like they rather no be there and lacked customer service. I ended up walking to the other Holland Bicycles shop, off Orange Avenue, and was greeted by the best staff willing to help and answer questions. As a retired sales person: You're better off giving your money to the bike shop at 977 Orange Ave, Coronado - NOT here if you want nicer staff who truly want to work.

I took my Canyon bike to moment bicycles for a professional bike fitting, and unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was extremely concerning. During the fitting, JT took parts of my bike apart and appeared unsure about how to put everything back together, to the point that he was watching YouTube videos for 40 minutes for guidance. After the "fitting", he told me the bike was ready and safe to ride. The next morning, I took the bike to Cabrillo. While going downhill, I realized that parts of the bike were loose and that it was unsafe to ride. This could have resulted in a very serious accident. I immediately called the shop. JT was initially extremely rude and showed very little concern about the fact that I had been sent out on a bike that was not properly secured. His attitude changed only after I told him I was considering legal action. At that point, he became much more cooperative and offered to fix the problems. A professional bike fitting should never leave a bike in a condition that puts the rider's safety at risk. What concerns me most is that I was specifically told the bike was ready to ride when it clearly was not. Based on my experience, I would not trust this shop with my bike again. At the video below you can see how my bike was giving back to me, totally unsafe . If you do decide to go to the shop for fitting , I wish you all the best luck in the world.

This is the storefront, off of San Diego Ave.

Perhaps I was tired and feel like I'm…read moretired all the time now but we arrived to San Diego before 9AM and was fortunate to check in early with 2 upgrades. I was envisioning myself in bed to read, nap, and scroll on my phone but Gavin had other ideas. He enjoyed the breaks in the room but wanted to do things. I don't blame him. He noticed this place as we were walking to get lunch earlier. We ended renting a surrey. It's meant for 2, both would need to pedal but the left side had the real steering wheel. Even when it was Gavin's turn to "drive," I still spun the dummy wheel though I knew it served no purpose. It was instincts. The path we took was along the waterfront which is the only path allowed. It was difficult to maneuver because there were a lot of people and a lot of people that are inconsiderate, too. Like a family of 6 walking side by side? Who are your parents that never taught you basic manners?! Service was nice. They hold your ID until the rental is returned. Gavin had fun. A helmet is mandatory for kids under 18 (free). All you pay is the rental for the bike itself. I'm not sure when will be our next cruise but we will definitely try this again but early in the morning so we can bike freely w/o people.

My first encounter with this business was over the phone. The owner,Bass, did an amazing job explaining the difference between the E bikes. He spent about 20 minutes on the phone with me was kind, thorough and encouraged me to take a test ride before I bought an e-bike. When I went in a few months later, he remembered our conversation, and again was so kind and friendly. Initially, I thought a 500 Watt bike would do, but after he explained the difference and I rode one, I realized how much more power the 750 Watt bike had to ease the strain of going up hills. I ended up buying a used bike from him and he went out of his way to ensure I got the best deal. I was so delighted that he delivered the bike as well, since he wanted to clean it up and make it pristine. I highly recommend this small business that has integrity, kindness and flexibility. I bought the Aima Santa Monica and love that I can sit upright (due to back issues). Rent or buy, you're going to the right place if you like excellent customer service! read more

I made a mistake use the app to check the bike on Their website. I don't saw any shipping fee on my order. The shipping fee is $500! I live in Irvine CA. I immediately wrote two emails to them at the night time. 2 days haven't reply me . I called them two days later. The owner said she will tell them manager . After 6 days I still haven't received any Emails and calls. I called the manager . The bike hasn't shipped. The doesn't refund my money. They just want to get my money! So Crazy! They don't care any reason. I don't know why so many good review. read more

We rented 2 very nice model E-bikes from this business. Great customer service! Ashley was so welcoming and very informative. The business was so organized with great rental products. Everything clean and up to date. She modified a few things on our bikes to make the experience even better. We rode to Fiesta Island and around Mission Bay. Roughly 11 miles. A completely different (positive) experience than we had the previous day in Coronado. Highly recommend renting e-bikes from E Rydes. read more
