I just recently purchased a Marin bike from Chris and I'm very happy with it. I picked out some goodies from his place as well and had him outfit the new bike with them so I picked it up later on. Having fun with it now. Awesome guy, awesome shop and will continue to frequent this business. read more

Brought my Pinarello in for a chain replacement, Chris noted some deferred maintenance that was most certainly needed. The repair work was stellar. Bike rides like a gem after he was done with it. Chris is super knowledgeable and a talented wrench. read more

Best bike shop in East Bay that anyone can trust. I initially went to Pegasus for my new Campy wheels couple of years ago that needed inspection and was immediately impress with Chris attention to details and passion for anything cycling, been going to Pegasus since. Chris is honest with all my interaction and can confidently listen to his advice without 2nd thoughts. I have tried other bike shop in the area close to home but Pegasus have the tight knit family feel with consistent high quality and professionalism. read more

Great local bike shop in our community. Bought a SE BMX bike for my 6 year old at a great price. Tired of junky kids bikes from Walmart or Target then try this shop. Owner mentioned he has had his own bike shop for over 20 years and has been selling bikes for over 30. read more

I wanted a bike, a light easy bike. I wanted to buy it from a business in my town I got a great bike and helmet. I live just blocks away so I'm glad I can drop in if I need work done. the guys were very informative, friendly and efficient. read more

Came here a few months back for a tune up! They did an excellent job. Very courteous and professional! Highly recommend their services. I will be using them for months to come. read more

Left my bike with them and told them to fix it up. When I picked it up it was better than new. Best tune up I've ever gotten on it. Great little local bike store. Definitely bringing my bike back to them in the future. Thanks guys! read more

As I'm sure most of you know purchasing bicycles right now is no walk in the park. We have been looking for bikes for months and we found a few options that would work but we didn't complete trust the online bikes. Last week we decided to take a whole day to shop around the bay in search for the perfect bike. My boyfriend found an amazing bike at Pegasus. The owner was so helpful in helping him find the perfect fit for him. They had all the facts and the best part is that the bike shop and the bike company are local. Pegasus really made a current difficult process so easy! We are so happy this our experience and my boyfriend loves his bike! read more

I called Pegasus Bicycle Works when I was shopping for ebikes. The owner was very nice and told me he only had a few bikes in stock but more would be arriving in April. We talked about features and brands. I didn't want to wait so I purchased an Aventon Level Commuter online, which I love! I ride by Pegasus Bicycle works a few weeks later. Really nice shop! read more

Not stoked with the owner. Came in at around 4:30 today(half hour before closing), door is locked and he is huffing and puffing to get out of there. The tire on my bmx bike was deflating and I needed a quick replacement to ride home. He first is like we're closed! And then I'm like bro u close in a half hour. Then I ask him to insert a tube(3 minute job). He wanted 30 dollars!! Like bro what. I complain and he starts cussing me out. I have no choice to comply with this prick as this my only way to get home, on my bike. He ended up making it 25 dollars which is still ridicules to charge a kid for a 3 minute tube change. Tubes cost around 5 dollars when orderd by a shop. read more

Hoping to come back again sometime to have my mind changed, but when my wife and I came by to support a local business and buy some helmets, we were told to wait outside. There were two workers and only one other customer in the store. We didn't mind following covid protocols but after waiting outside for ten minutes without checking in with us or asking us how they could help us, we decided to leave. read more

This is a great shop! Local people running a high quality local business. Chris has a ton of experience and can address any of your bicycle needs for repairs and service or a new bike. There is a level of patience that needs to be applied. The place is not large with a ton of staff. Repairs might take a little longer, but I know that somethings can be done right on the spot to help in an emergency. What did I learn today? I am glad Martinez has a high quality bike shop solution now! read more

Awesome Awesome Awesome. I just purchased some WTB tubeless tires since I decided it was time to finally get rid of tubes and go tubeless!!! ( The way to go !) Service - Called Chris(owner) to get an idea what the cost would be to convert my bike to tubeless. Chris was very helpful and was more than willing to help. There was maybe 3-4 hours left in the day and he gave me all the information necessary for me to decide what to do next. Chris was able to convert my bike to tubeless without any issues! He did mention that my rear rim had two dings in them so he had to massage them out. A+ Honest - 100% honest and definitely didn't give off the impression of just caring about money. You can genuinely tell he cared about the customer. A+ Time - Got the job done by the end of the day like he promised. A+ Price - Purchased Stans No Tube Liquid 16oz. $17 Tubeless Valves - $17 I compared these prices to online prices later that night and I have to tell you I was surprised to how reasonable they were. The prices were basically the same compared to online. Total cost was $85 including labor. End of the day, I'm happy with it all thank you Chris! read more

Just got my bike dialed in from Chris, this guy really knows how to tune race bikes. Thanks for making my shifting SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!! read more

Pegasus Bicycle Works - Bike Rentals Near Me - Martinez, California

I wanted to get into cycling after several decades never touching a bike. Today I am biking with joy and confidence. We asked them to set us up and they did. They were laid back, helpful, no hard sell, and they backed up their word. A few weeks later I brought my bike back in for a service because I took a spill during my learning process. No problem. They fixed my bike for pennies and I was back on the road. They are a great resource for this sport. Thanks guys! read more

We are so lucky to have a local bike shop here in beautiful downtown MARTINEZ. And Chris is a gem. Fixed my bike in no time and tomorrow I ride.Was really concerned when I couldn't find the old bike shop but then I found Pegasus. Oh and he sends your invoice over email and prefers texts. I love it! read more

I have been going to Pegasus for several years now, and I've appreciated the work Chris and Deama have done on my bikes. They are very patient, and have fixed things on the spot! Pegasus is an honest, and reliable shop and Chris has several years in the industry! If your new to cycling, they don't treat you with that pretentious, snotty attitude that alot of independent bike shops treat people that are new to the sport. If you only have a fixed amount to spend on a bike, Chris and Deama will help you find the best bike for your money, and they have no problem ordering it! It is the only bike shop I really trust with my bikes! It also one of the best bike shops in the bay area! read more

Chris is great! I bought a used bike from someone and the gears were messed up. I went to Pegasus and Chris fixed the bike gears. He saved me money too. We need to support our Martinez local businesses so they can stay! My husband bought my bike helmet there and it was cheaper than online and lots of choices. Keep up the great customer service Chris and thank you! Marie Harrison read more

Chris the owner is an Amazing person, very helpful & kind and patience, hard to find a business owner that wants to talk to his clients. Thank You!!! read more

I went into Pegasus Bicylce Works, yesterday morning to get a flat tire on a stroller (BOB) fixed for the family I work for. This was not my first adventure into their shop, however, it was to their new location. The new shop isn't far from their other spot was at all. It is much smaller, and difficult to walk into with more than just yourself. I got their a bit before 10am, their opening time and decided to wait. They ended up opening at 10:15am, which isn't a huge issue but it is when you are holding a two year old, and a bum stroller. It was quite annoying that when they did open, people entered the store, who had not been waiting in a mini line that had formed, because they opened late. Not only did they enter first, they got helped first! It was just a bit annoying, Ill go else where next time! read more

Worst experience ever!! I dropped off two rear wheels for truing around June 27th. I was more than patient because I know bike shops are very busy during Covid. Services are only being conducted by appointment only so I called & sent texts several times as to the status of my wheels but Chris (the owner) never responded. Finally on Aug 11th I decided to drive down to the shop to check the status on my wheels. Not only did he not fix my wheels but he called me a "racist" for my opposition to the Black Lives Matter organization. I find it extremely distasteful let politics get in the way of running a business. read more

I just purchased a bike here and can say it was a good overall experience. Chris was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a bike that best suited my needs. I went home happy with a new bike and it was nice to be able to support a local shop. read more

Chris, knowledgeable about bicycle choices. Ended up purchasing hybrid medium men's bike customized per my liking. Picked up after a week! If you want a neighborly bike store not too fuzzy on the service you found it with Pegasus. read more

I was in Martinez for a 3 day weekend, when I broke my derailleur cable. I had to get it fixed on a Sunday so I could still get a ride in on Monday. I wasn't too hopeful that I could find a shop that was open on Sundays (in my home town bike shops aren't open on Sundays), and that would agree to fix my cable same day. Not only did he fix it in a couple of hours (enough time for me to enjoy the Farmer's Market, and walk around the Martinez Marina), but he checked out the entire bike. When I picked it up he pointed out other issues I should address soon, and it turns out he had adjusted my brakes without asking or even mentioning it. Very nice guy, detail oriented, and my bike shifts very nicely now. read more

I was biking in the area on Veteran's Day and a part broke off my bike on my ride. I stopped by Pegasus and Chris repaired my derailleur on the spot at an incredibly fair price. He got my bike all fixed-up so I could return to my daily bike commute the following day. What a great shop. read more

This is a small shop and most likely a small business​ owner who loves bikes but lacks ​business​ skills. My husband bought me a bike for my birthday and he was taking too long to put my bike together so I asked him if we could take it to a bike shop to put together. He agreed. We just moved to Martinez and I wanted to support the local business​. We called ahead and the man said to bring it in over the weekend so we did. The first interaction was pleasant and he said he would put the bike together and give us a call when it was ready. I thought he might have meant the next day but apparently,​ he meant the next week. He texted me to let me know my bike was ready and said to pick it up. I informed him​ my husband would come on Saturday when they opened. My husband arrived at opening and the man said he had to put all of the bikes out on the sidewalk and that could take some time before he could get to my bike. Strange right? My husband who is way more patient than me decided to take a walk and come back. I would have thrown a huge fit and its a good thing I wasn't​ there. My husband finally comes home with my bike all assembled​ and I couldn't​ wait to ride it. Guess waht? He didnt even put air in my tired. So I don't​ know? Do you want to go here? Oh, and he quoted a price and then changed it a few times with no notice or permission. read more

This was a bad experience. I bought a bike here and when It finally came in. I was to meet him at 10. I got there at 10 sign on the shop says it opens at 10ish. He showed up about 10:20. The owner is friendly and seems to know bikes. So I had ridden my old bike over from Vallejo to exchange for a tune up. He said it would be done the 25th of July. Now it is the 7th of August bike isn't done. He doesn't call or text up dates. He doesn't take phone messages, text him it says but he doesn't get back. I knew he would be done on the 25th of July because while I was waiting for my new bike two people came in to pick up there bike but they weren't done. The straw the broke the customers back was I had a flat of course I realize he isn't going to get to it. It is a tubeless tire which I have never had before. The tire is suppose to have sealant but it doesn't. The owner tells me it drys out because it has been so hot. It hasn't been hot. I just watch you tube they said refill the sealant every six months if it is hot not every two months if it is just warm. I was ok with the relaxed manner that he works until the flat and no sealant and the realization it is going to take forever to get this bike fixed and I just bought it. read more

This isn't a bike related review, this is purely based on customer service by who I believe is Chris the owner. I stopped in today with my one year old in tow because I was having an issue with my stroller not opening and closing correctly. I knew it was going to be an odd request walking into a bike shopping hoping they would have answers on how to fix my stroller. Chris was so sweet and helpful and immediately jumped in to look at the stroller, started tinkering with it to figure out how it worked. He grabbed some grease and ended up fixing the issue! I can't express how much I appreciated all of his help and his patience and how friendly he was. I would recommend Pegasus Bike Shop to anyone who is looking for an overall awesome experience. read more

Chris {the owner} price matched the cycling shoes and ordered them, they arrived the day he said they would. He was very helpful and friendly. It's a one-man shop so you might have to wait during busy times. I went 8 miles out of my way to go to this shop and it was worth it. I only bought this one item but I will return for my cycling needs in the future. Also has a friendly Chihuahua-pit bull mix shop dog. read more

Excellent service. Good selection of bianchi bikes here. The owners are great but don't expect discounts.

We went to Pegasus to look at bicycles for our daughter. When we arrived, the owner greeted us and let us look around (which I totally appreciated!). After a few minutes of browsing, we approached Chris (the owner) who was very helpful. He asked us questions about her riding habits and had us take one for a test spin down the street. He also fit her helmet. We ended up purchasing a bike and helmet- he made all the adjustments before we left. I am happy that we made the choice to support a small business rather than a box store. While it might have been a little more money, I think the quality of the bike and service that we received is well worth it! My daughter doesn't want to stop riding her new bike! read more

Great bike shop. Being a relative novice, I wanted my first cleated pedals and shoes. I found the pedals on line, but wanted to buy the shoes from someone who knew something. These guys are great. Super nice. Very patient with me. Helped me get the hang of the pedals in the parking lot. The customer service makes the difference. There are several local bike shops, but their customer service made a repeat customer out of me. read more

Worst customer service. Ever. Do not go there. I tried to purchase a bike and manager was extremely rude and wouldn't assist me -- kept working on a bike in the back and completely ignored me. read more

Rented a bike over the weekend. They were very helpful, accomadating and friendly. Very fair prices and excellent equipment. Will be back.

SUMMARY: Slow to acknowledge me. Provided great service,l once it was my turn. STORY: I came here for the first time for a small bicycle part. I had already looked at several hardware stores, but had been unable to find it. When I walked inside, the owner (Chris) was the only person there, and he was working on a bicycle. There were already 2 people ahead of me. I knew it would be a while before Chris was able to assist me, but I fully expected him to acknowledge me. This is a really small shop without much standing room, and waiting to be acknowledged was somewhat awkward. It's one of those things where you don't know exactly where to stand without appearing impatient while not giving up your place in "line". Twice he had to walk (squeeze right by me), but he still never acknowledged me. Eventually, while working on the bicycle and talking to one of the customers in front of me, Chris asked if I had a question. I showed him the broken part I was hoping to replace. He said he had one, and would be with me in a bit. Once it was my turn, not only did Chris have the exact part I was looking for, he gave it to me free of charge. We got to chatting, and he seems like a really good guy. If I had to do it over again, I would have explained my concerns to him instead of posting it here, but I just did not think of it at the time. Until proven otherwise, this will be my first stop for all things related to bicycles. read more

Pegasus - great tune up! My bike really needed it - totally worth it. Now shifting is so smooooth. Thanks Chris.

These guys are wizards in the service department. Had a complicated Fox CTD shock repair and a wheel re-lacing job done and both resulted in perfection. I won't trust my rides to anyone else! read more

I have purchased many bikes from Pegasus over the years for my wife and four children and have NEVER had a problem. They are experts, friendly, funny, and very good with follow-up service. My wife and I both ride Bianchi trail bikes from Pegasus and couldn't be happier. Well done fellas! read more

I have been there on several on occasions and was always greeted my friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fixed a few items that were done on the spot at no charge. Great place for all ages and riding levels. read more
