They had the best service and helped me with everything I needed. their bikes are also very nice and beautiful.

Lifesaver for last minute UCSB parents for a bike new or use Service it's well owner is very nice The shop is friendly read more

We passed through and thought to check out the campus. Came across this bike shop and the staff was really welcoming. We had our dog with us and was the life of the party. We got set up and off we went. They shared notable stops for us the check out and off we went. The bikes were comfortable and brakes worked perfectly when needed. read more

IV Bike Boutique helped me when my bike lock combination got changed on accident and came super fast to break it so that I could use my bike again. Eri Delmarsh was the one who came to help me and he was on time, communicated super well, and fixed the situation within 20 minutes for a very low price, I even got a discount on a new bike lock. I highly recommend their services!! Thank you so much! read more

I bought some used bike for my son. They were super nice, family-owned, and busy shop.

Owner is great, very chill. Purchased a bike for my daughter who is starting at UCSB. Everything was easy and professional. Love that we could spend money with a local small business! read more

Best bicycle shop in goleta, cool people Personable staff. I've tried other bicycle shops in goleta area and they don't come close. Needed a brake adjustment they got me in and out same day no appointment needed. Check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

I made the mistake of buying a no name brand, single speed road bike with mismatched fork for $200 dollars from this place. 2 days later I went and purchased a full carbon fiber Trek 5500 for $250 on FB marketplace. I went to take advantage of their 7 day return window and they tried charging me a rental fee, which I said I'd rather not pay $70 ($35/day). They kept the taxes I paid because they had "already paid them." (Not how that works!) and charged me a $20 rental fee. Take your business elsewhere read more

Bought a bike, asked them about the warranty and got told a flat wasn't covered, thought it was strange and asked them to double check the tires. Got told repeatedly there was nothing wrong with it and they wouldn't do a warranty for flats. 2 days later got a flat after driving only on flat university bike paths. Absolute scam. read more

I only had one working break on my E-Bike and desperately needed the other fixed. I tried it multiple times to repair it myself, only with worsening results. Isla Vista Bicycle Boutique was able to repair it after work and completed before closing at 7PM. The brakes are better than the originals and i didn't have to wait a week. :) Excellent fast work at reasonable prices. I will be a returning customer for sure! Thank you read more

Great place! Staff are super helpful and very patient even when the store is slammed with new students! I bought a well priced bike seat, and then returned a few weeks later for bike lights. Both work great! And I got a deal on the bike lights! read more

Brought our daughter's bike in to replace the rear tire and inner tube. We were in and out in 15 minutes. As good as new!

The team was so helpful in arranging a bike rental for us. Super easy in and out. Would recommend them.

Great community bike shop in the heart of IV. Stopped by this shop to check out prices for a bike lock and was pleasantly surprised by the huge selection and pricing of locks and used bikes. Service was outstanding! The guy who assisted us was extremely patient and helpful. read more

Isla Vista Bicycle Boutique - Bikes Near Me - Goleta, California

Got a flat and took it to the bike shop. The wheel looked kinda funky and they charged me 40$ for a tube and tire. The next day in the middle of my ride the front wheel went flat....WHAT THE HELL. They gave me a fucked up tire or tube. Pure incompetence. read more

Super great and fast service! All employees were willing to answers all of my questions. Bring cash for reduced prices ;)

Really bad experience with this place. I was told they do tune up for 39 dollars. I thought it includes repairing and changing some of the parts of my bike. I even thought about giving them some tips after it is done. So I left my bike to them for the tune up. Guess what! When I came back for my bike, they charged me 45 dollars for tune up. And they say tune up is just the labor. So they also charged me 8 dollars for a brake and 12 dollars for parking crutch. What a trap!!! Don't go there. They will fool you around! read more

My son was able to pick up a second hand bike with new brake pads and gears when his was stolen. Its not the prettiest bike, but is perfect for college in being less desirable for a thief. The staff were very helpful on the phone and in person. read more

Got a nice used bike here at a reasonable price and even got a new comfortable seat for it, when most other stores are sold out of them because of COVID and everyone is wanting a bike. Friendly, helpful guys who work here and knowledgeable of the bikes and a huge selection. Worth the drive to me, am not from around here. read more

Don't waste your time bringing your E-bike in. They basically told me the quality is crap they don't waste their time and they won't work on it not even do a brake adjustment. Go find someone who actually wants your business. read more

Reasonable prices for both new and used bikes. Friendly and helpful staff. Not pushy salespeople but will help and give advice if you ask :)

I've had to come here twice in the last week and the rates have been reasonable and service great. I needed my lock lubed because the storm had caused rust (I think) and they did it for free. Will come here again when I need to. read more

The hybrid I purchased for over $450 was not put together very well. The test ride was good, but the next day when I took it for a full bike ride was when I encountered more problems than I could imagine. The seat kept coming down, the transition in the gears were rugged and would get stuck and then all of a sudden drop leaving your feet struggling to find footing. There is also toe overlap which I know is common but with my Scott sportster that was never a problem for me. I returned this bike within 24hrs and was only charged for a one day rental which was fine. I did not feel comfortable with their bike or lack of expertise. Stick to Velo Pro or Bicycle Bobs. They're professionals! read more

This was a wonderful visit and worth the drive from Santa Maria, Thank you, Pedro and Team, for the great help and all were welcoming and knowledgable. Very Attentive with all questions that you may have to get you on your bike going path with whichever style it maybe. read more

This store has lots of choices, we bought a Jamis here for my daughter in Sept. 2019. They provided great customer services with very good quality of bicycle and seat and locker. Especially, Adriana was so kind with warm heart, we truly appreciate their great services and help. We will go back to buy from here and strongly recommend it to everyone and our friends. Thanks! read more

Kit, the owner, helped someone steal my bike. He is super shady and much of his business comes from stolen bikes(from what i hear is an open secret). He pretended like he was doing legitimate business but was trying to sell a stolen bike. I had the police intervene and my stuff was returned(i was nice and did not press charges). If their employees are out stealing bikes then i would guess that many of their bikes are stolen and they regularly sell stolen property and do not care. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!!!!! If you buy a used bike there check if it is stolen first. If your bike gets stolen in IV then it might be sold here UCSB BIKE SHOP on campus will do better faster work for cheaper AND THEIR EMPLOYEES STEAL BIKE IN IV read more

Been here multiple times, never had a problem with the regular people working there. Seems like a Hispanic family that is really nice, understanding and very knowledgeable. Well, last week I went in to rent an E bike for an hour. The nice lady said it was 65 for 24 hrs. I said well I just need it for an hour. She said we will deal with the coat when u get back. I thought probably $30 at the most. I got back after just under an hour and there was some REALLY old guy siting at the place working on some bike. The nice lady asked the old man about the cost and he barely looked up and mumbled $50. I said for an hour???! He said we don't have a rate and yes. I though what an ass! I told him I nor my 7 children or any of their friends or acquaintances are EVER going Vick to this shithole. That old guy is mean and he hasn't put an ounce of money into that business. Go to the other bike place in IV on Pardall. This place is crap. One star is the only thing available. They should allow a crap emoji below 1 star!!! read more

My experience with Isla Vista Bicycle Boutique was amazingly efficient service, knowledgeable bicycle mechanics and the best prices in all of Santa Barbara County. If you want to get your bicycle repaired, this is the place to go. I have lived in the Santa Barbara area for 26 years and this is the place that I recommend to all of my friends and family. read more

Bought my first bike here freshman year (1998) and the staff built it and I was good to go until someone stole it which is fine because it wasn't a beach cruiser. I had my second bike (a cruiser) until the day I graduated... in 4 years not 5... and ended up leaving it for a friend. I never got over the whole cruiser phase and owned one that sort of looked like a cruiser in Kyoto while I was teaching English there for 2 years where'd I'd bike 15 minutes to a high school while biking through the little town of Fushimi and passing by several sake breweries. Then I lived in Denver and my friend Megan (also a Gaucho - who randomly lived in the same house as I did 6709 DP aka Pink Taco a year after - didn't know her at the time) and I cruised the streets of Denvy with travelers in tow. My bike was named Blue Steel and Megan's Hermosa for lovely in Spanish for those of you who are non-speakers. I'm back in Monterey and I couldn't help but purchase another cruiser... Champagne in color and so far it's name is Champy (Shampy) until I think of a better one. Anywho, both my sisters went to UCSB as well (class of '06 & '11) and I'm pretty sure they both purchased their cruisers there too. I highly recommend them! read more

Don't sell your bike here. Bought a used bike here 5 months ago for $350. I'm moving and needed to sell the bike back. Called and they said to bring it back with the receipt. Rode 15 miles from my house to sell it. Found out they were only willing to pay 25% of purchase price. They never mentioned that over the phone. So if you are in the market for a used Kona with hydraulic disk brakes - you know what they paid for it and don't let them sell it for $350 again. read more

3.5 stars (but I guess I can round up to 4). I feel like I'm being way too generous to a bike shop. There sure are a lot of beach cruisers in Isla Vista, but I like my mountain bike better. I've gone here a couple times to get air pumped into my tires when my dinky manual pump wasn't cutting it. I also got a damaged-beyond-repair (or so he said) bicycle wheel replaced once. It would have been cheaper for me to replace the bike...but maybe that's beside the point. Anyway, they are pretty speedy about fixing/tuning up your bike. You can bring it in earlier in the day, stroll by a few hours later after class and ride off into the sunset. read more

This is the coolest-looking bike shop in IV and has a great location, but I do not shop here. I've only been here two times and the service is ew. The people are just not friendly at all. They even make you feel awkward when you go to use their free (manual!) air pumps. You are much better off going to Varsity up the street, or to AS bikes. read more

I'm surprised at the negative comments about the service. We rented two bikes for five weeks and the people were extremely nice and helpful, helping us find the right bikes and changing the heights etc. They gave us helmets, u-locks, lights, repair kits and spare wheel tubes for no extra charge. They have a great selection of bikes. We got two really nice road bikes. Three weeks into the rental, I crashed the bike. The handlebars and front wheel were banged up. I was worried they wouldn't give me my deposit back ($180). The guy replaced the handlebars and fixed the wheel for $30, labor included. We just returned the bikes with no problems. Got our full deposits. Very easy-going staff. Would definitely recommend to friends, for rental and for buying. read more

Conveniently located on the corner of Pardall and Embarcadero Del Mar. I remember riding past this bike shop all the time as I rode to and from class at UCSB. I remember thinking they had the cutest beach cruisers out on display and here I was stuck with this multi colored, hand me down mountain bike. Boo! :( Anyhow, bike rentals are pretty decently priced. $15 dollars for the whole day and they will even throw in the lock and basket for free. :) My friends, hubby and I were able to rent some beach cruisers for the day and ride throughout campus, West Campus, Isla Vista and Goleta. It was lots of fun! :) Customer service is pretty good. We were helped immediately and were in and out of that place in a flash! read more

The boys working in the front always do such a good job, they work hard, fast and give great advice. Really appreciative of the work they do. Plus you can't beat their prices! Will be a customer as long as I'm still biking! read more

Super fast service! Woke up this morning with a flat tire and they put a new one on in less than 5 minutes. Still got to class on time too :) read more

We rented bikes for the day and had a great experience! Nice guys and helped us with adjustments and even found me a basket for my bike! Excellent will be back next time we are in IV! read more

Sometimes you can buy used bikes with very fair price. I just bought a used bike and a basket. The stop here are super nice! You can also bring your bike here if it needs to be repaired. What's more, they have a fluffy kitty! read more

update: take your bike to the show on campus. way more reasonable and friendly. these guys just want your money.

I had a friend in town for the week and she needed bike so we could get around town together. I remembered seeing something about bike rentals when I purchased my own bike from this shop so I decided to check it out. They were very reasonably priced and even threw in the lock and helmet. I'll definitely be using this place whenever I have visitors. read more
