Verse 2 He don't just fix a bike -- he reads the road you've ridden, Finds the story in the spokes, the truth you've half‑forgiven. Subway's baking bread, Pizzaville's throwing heat, But George is the warmth that keeps the whole block sweet. Pre‑Chorus Dogs getting groomed, laughter hiding in the club, Verde Market's singing while the kitchens simmer love. Southside Philippines, northside Vietnamese air, And George stands in the middle like he's holding all the care. Chorus Big feller, big heart, big hands steady and true, George tunes a bike like he's tuning up you. Cha‑cha man of the crossroads, keeper of the ride, Every wheel rolls straighter when George is by your side. Verse 3 Your new basket gleams like a sunrise grin, Old basket bows out -- says, "Let the next tale begin." Jessie at the park nods, "Yeah, that's Pops‑grade lore," And George wipes his hands like he's heard it all before. Bridge Some folks fix metal, some folks fix time, Some folks fix silence with a laugh or a rhyme. But George -- he fixes motion, he fixes the day, He sends you rolling out lighter than you came in the bay. Final Chorus Big feller, big soul, big laugh shaking the street, George is the rhythm where the cha‑cha meets the beat. Oak Street's guardian, Wookie of the bend, He don't just fix your bike -- he makes the road your friend. Outro So ride on, Pops, through the Bakersfield blend, With a George‑tuned wheel and a story that won't end.

I stumbled upon this place while I was riding along a river/bike route in Bakersfield earlier this year. I've been to many bikes shops (a lot of fancy ones too in SF and LA) and the one thing this place has over those is the size of their inventory and their hospitality. There are cold drinks, restrooms, an air compressor, and of course cycling products and bike services. Now, even though I don't always ride in Bakersfield, I will make a point to stop here whenever I go between SF and LA just to get my bike tuned-up and catch up with the employees and owners (the owner is pretty much there all the time). I will most likely buy my next bike with them as my bike is on its last legs (wheels). If you live nearby or just passing through, I highly recommend this place. They are awesome and will most definitely give you amazing customer service.

It's so cool to watch a seasoned pro perform their craft. Kerry took one look at my seat and new it wasn't right for the job. Took some measurements, got my seat and bars adjusted, accessed a handful of additional quirks that needed some love, and got me out the door the same day. This all made a huge difference in the feel of my ride and the comfort of my body, and I'm stoked to have such a great resource right around the block from my home. Can't wait to put more hours in the saddle. Thanks again for sharing your time and talent Kerry & team! -AW

I brought my bicycle here when the derailer fell off and the brakes stopped working right. When I…read moredropped it off on Sunday afternoon around 1:30 they said it would be ready on Tuesday. I told them at the service department that the bike would not shift gears going up, that the shifter only worked right when downshifting. Imagine my surprise when they text me less than three hours later saying my bike is ready. It seemed OK, they asked me to ride it in the parking lot. It was 5:50, and they closed in ten minutes. The bike shifted OK for a couple of cycles up and down. As much as I was happy to get the bicycle back the same day, I was not happy after riding it several time and from gears five thru eight still trouble upshifting. I truly wish they had kept the bike until Tuesday, maybe the bike would shift properly. I did not need to get my bicycle back fast as much as I needed to get my bicycle back FIXED.

I covered way more ground than I would have on a regular bike and honestly had a blast doing it. it's a Wednesday through weekend operation so plan around that but the hours they do have are solid. the Bakersfield location is easy to find and the whole rental process was smooth start to finish. if you're passing through Bakersfield or live there and have been curious about e-bikes, this is the place to try one with zero commitment. I came back the next day and rented again which is the most honest review I can give. really fun experience and great people running it.

Dave answered all questions and invited us down to the shop for a free demo, which we did. We were welcomed by Dave, who went over the bikes and how the worked. We rode around the parking lot a bit. We are old, and it's been a long, long time since we've been on bikes. We did not rent them as my wife felt she needed to up her basic bike skills first. Back to today. We arrived at our our scheduled rental time and were again greeted by Dave. Super friendly, super patient, super easy to work with. He reviewed the bike operation again, set us up with helmets and locks. Explained where to ride and what to do. I thought the rentals were reasonably priced, the bikes are in great shape we had a ball. A long-winded way of saying this place and the staff are great, and it's a very fun outing. If/when we're in the market for an e-bike I'd seriously consider purchasing here just based on service received. Until then, we plan on some more rental rides!
