I chatted with him while he fixed my bike and all of the prices were transparent with no hidden cost. What I love about recycled cycles is the fact that I can learn as I go and at my own pace. Kirk, like the rest of the staff appear passionate about cycling and the rider. I love knowing that parts that I am using are being given a new life. With the diagnosis, we figured out what we I'll address now to ride the bike and what I will need to up keep and maintain 3 months from now. What a great service and experience. 10 stars.

I asked if I removed the tire if they'd just replace the tube. They said maybe but they wouldn't let me roll the bike into the shop so I had no way to work on it. I've spent about $1000 dollars in this store over the last five years. They've worked on my bike before. It makes no sense. Manager also seemed high at 10am so while I normally don't judge, that might explain it. Gotta love a bike shop that leaves people stranded.

It's a simple bolt screw in so I said no thanks. Dropped by this Rapha to see if they sold the tool to install the kickstand and they were so kind to just let me borrow it free of crash. I was even taught how to install it myself. While I was there, they told me about the group rides that meet every other Monday for free for beginners (something they did not need to inform me about) and I ended up joining for a group ride. The team here goes above and beyond to make sure the customers feel welcomed and informed.

This bike has never ridden as smooth and shifted so effortlessly and accurately! You guys do top, notch work! thank you and your whole team for taking care of me and my bike!

If you have a normal bike, I'm sure Alki Bike and Board Shop can handle it…read more If you have a mildly complicated bike, definitely go there. If, however, you have a questionably overpowered long-tail cargo bike running a custom Bafang BBSHD mid-drive setup that may or may not have been engineered during a caffeine-fueled "more capability and power is always a good idea" phase... these are your people. I rolled in with what can only be described as a mechanical riddle wrapped in an enigma of wiring harnesses and torque sensors. My Bafang BBSHD setup had become inhabited by a small tribe of mean spirited electrical gremlins. I'm capable with bike mechanics, but this had gotten over my head - I was bracing for a massive bill (maybe significant part replacements). Instead, the team at Alki Bike & Board just... handled it. Calmly. Confidently. No drama. No upsell. Just pure competence. The bill was less than 1/10 what I had expected. This crew is overseen by a guy called Dayton - I'm not sure if he is more Thor or Hercules. On one hand, he seems like he could summon lightning directly into a mid-drive motor. On the other hand, he has the calm, slightly amused strength of someone who has already defeated twelve labors involving stripped bolts and cross-threaded bottom brackets. Either way, the man is operating on a different plane. He diagnosed the issues quickly, explained everything in plain English (instead of "mystical bike wizard dialect"), and fixed the whole situation for a small fraction of what I was mentally preparing to pay. I didn't believe him when he told me. Bottom line: Extremely knowledgeable Honest pricing No ego, no attitude Dayton = certified bike demi-god If you are near West Seattle and your bike needs anything beyond a gentle pat on the saddle, this is the spot. 10/10. Will bring my mechanical chaos machine back henceforth!

They made me feel a part of the hobby and the sport and that's the first time I can say that. Will definitely be stopping by Westside as my go-to local shop and cannot recommend them highly enough.
