rook my Old 70's Peugot bike to Urban Bikes on Durban. They wanted 500.00 to fix it. OK. Then the estimate went up! I took it to Robert at Planetary Cycles. Less than 150.00 and it's been riding great for about a month! I will always use and recommend Planetary Cycle! read more

Love this place! Thank you David, Andrea Keith and Adam you are all awesome. Made shopping easy breezy. So excited to get outdoors!

Awesome experience here at Planetary Cycles! Keith was such a joy to work with! He taught us all about our Catrike Dumont and he put on custom accessories on it also! He was patient, very knowledgeable, and just a great person to ask our questions to! Thank you Keith and Planetary Cycles! We will be coming again! read more

I went here today to get a bike, I don't know much about bikes except how to ride them and what I needed for my bike patrol; I worked with Adam and he helped me choose the perfect bike with all the specifications I needed and in my price range. When the bike would not fit in my vehicle Adam followed me to my apartment and delivered the bike for me! I would shop here again and recommend to everyone! read more

Have been going to Planetary Cycles since they were on Braeswood and Stella Link and had the rebar skeleton out front. My son named him "Mr. Skelton." Great shop with true customer service. Not a 'barn' or 'big box' place, they are cyclists and know their stuff. They just spent 30 minutes getting a tire to seat on my old hybrid rim. Very cool folks who treat their customers well. A lost art. Support Planetary Cycles! read more

Great time here. Staff was very helpful, Tucker hooked me up with some super discounted bibs. They have a big and awesome selection of bikes. Something for everyone and at some really competitive pricing. If you are just getting into road bikes you can get a sweet ride at ridiculous prices. read more

I picked up my bike from Planetary Cycles yesterday - they were amazing! I haven't owned a bike in many years, and they provided really helpful consultation when I was trying out different models and sizes. I got a special order color, and when I picked up my bike, they spent time showing me how everything worked and adjusting the seat and handles bars so it fit properly. They also installed accessories on the spot very quickly so I could ride it home. My husband had purchased his bike at Bike Barn a few weeks ago and said "you guys are 1,000 times better than Bike Barn!", and I couldn't agree more! Much better service, more personal, and they really care about their customers. read more

Charlie and Adam have taken good care of us with warranty repairs and bike purchases! Wish they had longer hours but perhaps it's due to Covid concerns. Go see them, they will spend the time helping you find the right bike! read more

These people seemed knowledgeable but wanted to upswell me on everything. "my budget is $2000" planet cycles: "I have this nice bicycle for $2300" I'd use them if I needed something and were in the area. read more

Had a great experience here, David the repair guy is extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Upmost professional. I have a black Schwin bike and he helped arrange my seating and the bike handle. He did an amazing job and now I can ride my bike happy and comfortable. Thank you guys! read more

I brought my two catrikes in for service here. Great customer service and both trikes feel like they are new again.

Bought a cattrike from them, and they've been really helpful with it. Even though I was long overdue for a tune up, Keith took care of it and fixed up a few issues I had and got it working great again. They also helped out with boxing so I could have it transported to use while on vacation. Really good folks in there and Keith knew his stuff. Thanks! read more

Great place. Needed some parts for my MTB and they were nice to answer my questions and I appreciated their honestly.

Took my bike in for some maintenance as I was thinking I was going to have to leave my bike for a few days. Charlie reached out to me right away and he hooked my bike up to have a look. He made some adjustments and took it for a spin and told me it was just in need of some small repairs and that I was good to go--at no charge! This neighborhood bike place is the best and the staff from front end to back end are tops. read more

Great customer service by David! Got 3 bikes including a 3 wheel bike, lights, phone holder, and water bottle holders.

I come in after I visit Lowes, next door. My bike is serviced by their mechanics. Flat tires and grips are fixed/tuned here. Sometimes they have used bikes for sale. I got bike shop. read more

I used to live near Planetary and regularly went there for bike fixes and buying bike gear. I've been to many bike stores and I can definitively say Planetary is the best there is. Every time I walked in, an employee greeted me and asked how he/she could help. The employees are well-knowledged and very helpful choosing bike gear. Whenever I had bike issues, the mechanic would stop what he was doing, take a look at the bike, and explain what the problem was to me and possible options. They fixed my bike in a timely fashion and when I picked up my bikes, one of the mechanics would walk out the door with me and help me mount my bike back on my car. Planetary Cycles also sponsored the Meetup bike group's pizza and beer nights, creating a space for Houston cyclists to hang out and get to know one another. Every one of the staff has a great attitude and bike know-how. Best bike shop in Houston. read more

Outstanding service! My husband is new to road biking & just bought a used bike. It wasn't riding smoothly so he called Planetary for help. Planetary was more than happy to help us with fitting & adjustments, free of charge. Jared also talked to him & taught him a LOT about riding & gave answers to all of his questions. Jared also discussed the components and different angles of riding with my husband. The bike is now ready to ride, & I feel secure that he'll know how to ride it safely. Their accessories are also great, & affordable. So we bought some shorts, gloves, water bottles & other accessories. They seemed genuinely happy to help & we'll definitely give them our business again. read more

I just bought my first road bike here and I appreciate all the help I got from Brittany. I had questions and was trying to decide between a Cannondale here or a Liv bike at another shop. There was no pressure and she even suggested I look at the other bike to compare. The other store offered incentives to buy from them, discount on the bike and future purchases, but I came back to Planetary Cycles for the service, better quality bike and the Guru Fit Service. Matt, who do the Guru Fit was very patient with my lack of cycling knowledge, like being able to clip in and out of the pedals. He took the time to help me, made the bike adjustments and even gave me a mini lesson in shifting before I did my test ride I my new bike. I can't wait to ride my bike and I am 100% confident I bought the best bike in my budget. read more

It is rare that you have the opportunity to walk into a store and feel happy that you are spending your money there. Planetary Cycles is that place. I called asking for advice about bikes. I know how to ride one (who didn't ride one as a kid) but the fact that I am really tall, and I'm still about 4 feet short for my weight does not make the task of choosing a bicycle easy. Heck, there is not much choice. I was afraid that I was going to have to spend at least a mortgage payment to get a bicycle that would work, but when I asked about the options, Adam, the owner, mentioned a very affordable cruiser (which is kind of what I was wanting) so my wife and I headed over there. The store is nice and clean, they have an indoor bike track (small) to test out the bikes and a ton of advice. My wife pressured me into buying a helmet because my life insurance is never paid up...they even had one my size. They let me take the bike out to the parking lot to try it out and then gave it a good once-over before we walked out of the shop with it just a few minutes later. Matt, the salesperson that we spoke with while at the store, was amazingly helpful. I really enjoyed my experience here. The money stayed local, I had a great customer service experience, and got to work with people who love what they do! read more

Went in looking for a bike part so I could try to fix something on my own. Before I knew it the employees were dropping everything to try to fix my problem for me free of charge. I purchased one of the parts I needed there but they didn't the other hard-to-find part in stock so they sent me to another bike shop that would have it but not before telling me to come back so they could install it for me. Definitely my new bike shop. read more

Took my bike here for some repairs and a tune up. Jeremiah was very helpful and knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed what was wrong and took the time to explain what needed to be done. I'll come back here for sure. read more

Great customer service!!! Keith was awesome!! He went above and beyond to make it a special experience. He was very patient and helpful. She went between a few bikes and he just kept going and never showed anything but patience. We were able to find the right bike for my daughter and leave with it the same day. He gave us ideas to help make her ride more smoothly. Everything from today was perfect!! She has never been able to ride a bike before so this was HUGE!! Thankful to have found this bike shop!! read more

Planetary Cycles - Bikes Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've had nothing but great one on one service directly from the owner Adam here. I bought a $7,000 mtb here (my most expensive single bike purchase yet yikes!) and had a follow up text every few days asking how I liked the new rig etc. Nothing better than dropping big bucks on a bike to have follow up service because the guy really wants to know you like the investment you let him guide you into. Nothing worse than spending that kind of money and leaving feeling like you gave a jerko all your cash. Great selection. Good mechanics. Great owner / owners Adam and Danny. It's nice to become friends with a fellow small business owner that actually works his floor and makes his customers a priority. They offer a finance plan with zero interest for 18 months FYI. Go get ya a new bike! read more

The guys at Planetary Cycles know a lot about bikes. They organize community rides along the bayou, rent bikes, repair bikes, and sell bikes and accessories. They're usually friendly. The prices here can be steep, so do a little comparison shopping and come back with an offer if you think they're overcharging you. They're not a bad alternative to the big chain bike stores, but I think there are independents in town that carry better (to me) brands than Cannondale, Giant, and Electra. In addition to the standard two-wheeler, Planetary Cycles also sells recumbent bikes and (adult) tricycles. I have kind of a thing against these guys because I once applied to be a bike mechanic here and was pretty much told that girls don't do that, without being given a chance to even demo my skills. However, this is Texas, so I'll let them slide long enough to write this review. read more

David, Jason and the team were really helpful when I was upgrading my bike! Looking forward to using my bike on the Bayou!

Stopped by while visiting Houston and left the store educated on Scott mountain bikes. Adam took the time to ask about my riding habits, what I'm looking for in a bike and what I may want to consider before narrowing down my list. Even though I didn't purchase a bike during this visit. His insight and the demo rides he suggested I did while at the store not only did it add a Scott MTB to my list but I'm now considering a Scott Genius. Thanks Adam. Javier read more

I purchased a pair of Giro Sante cycling shoes for my spin classes a while back. I also purchased the clips and the sales associate placed them on and secured them very well. However my left shoe clip has shifted a couple of times despite being placed on very tightly. This was very much an inconvenience when I attempted to clip in before a class and my left shoe would not. I managed to safely complete the class without any injuries with only one foot clipped in, as I was desperate to burn some cals. Upon going back to the store they were very friendly and helpful readjusting my clip and giving me advice on the upkeep of my shoes. Brittany was exceptionally helpful and friendly. She readjusted my clip and gave me excellent pointers. She also threw in a complimentary portable wrench to keep in my gym bag to prevent the problem in the future. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful in addressing questions and concerns, and they do it with a friendly smile. read more

It's always a pleasure to go there. From the owner to the mechanics we just get a knowledgeable and nice reply. read more

I bought a giant hybrid from this place 2 years ago. My initial purchase experience was a pleasant one. All the staff were friendly to me, especially Josiah who helped me find the perfect bike. I had ridden it only twice when I shortly broke my ankle requiring 2 surgeries a year apart. Normally they offer a free tuneup/adjustment 30 days after your purchase but they were nice about doing mine last week, over two years later now that I'm finally able to get active again. They even adjusted my one knee scooter for me last year when my manager stole it from me, fell, and twisted the handle bars. I will definitely go back again when I'm able to afford my dream bike. read more

Went in to test out a Giant hybrid. Jay was great help, very professional, very courteous. I was able to take a long test ride around the empty parking lot next to the store. Wasn't 100% sure, so I took a cannondale out to compare. I liked the Giant better. A week later had trouble trying to switch out the pedals. Took it back to the shop and they took care of it within couple of minutes! Great service! read more

It's our first time buying a bike and David did an awesome job working with us and going thru all of our questions. Definitely recommend this bike shop especially for beginners riders during COVID looking to get a nice bike at a reasonable price. read more

Really friendly and helpful staff, everyone was awesome! My wife and I were both in the market for recumbent tadpole trikes and Planetary Cycles has one of the best selections you're going to find. We will definitely be going back for all of our accessory needs for our new TerraTrikes, and we'll be back when it's time to upgrade. Great selection and great employees, check them out! read more

So, I came in not sure of what I'd get. It has the look of a large brand name store on the outside. But the people inside were really relaxed and nice, what you'd expect from a small local shop. I went to four different shops in Houston before buying my new commuter bike. I ended up on the Cannondale Quick 4 from this shop. It just felt like the best hybrid for the money, and I really liked how light it felt. The first day I tried it, it was raining, but they let me slowly ride it through the shop. No pressure to buy it, it was a relaxed look-see, and the staff member (I forget her name) was really nice and helpful. I came back a couple days later, and took it for a test ride in the parking lot. The only recommendation, for their OWN sake, is that maybe they should provide helmets to riders on test rides. I purchased my bike here last week and am about to go pick it up on Saturday, so I'll hope the great service continues! It comes with a 30 and 90 day tune-up, which I'll be sure to utilize. read more

There are bike shops and then there is Planetary Cycles. People that own and manage and hire people like them - people that have spent their lives working on and with bicycles. And when I say they're in it - they have designed bicycles and had them manufactured to their specifications. They don't just know, they care - they aren't about selling you the most expensive bike in the shop - they're about listening and learning about what you're doing - so if you cruise the neighborhood or race on dirt or road and all in between - Adam and his crew are simply outstanding. If only all retail stores were like Planetary Cycles. The best! read more

The staff is very knowledgeable, I did a tune up plus new tires and chain. It was a little pricey but they did a great job.

The customer service in this store is excellent. Dave helped me find a new mountain bike that fits my limited budget. The service was great! read more

Just moved to Houston from Calgary and need some repairs for my bike. Was recommended Planetary by a new coworker and they did not disappoint. Great service from the whole staff especially JC who was the first person I talked to. Excellent service and perfect place to take my Giant TCR! This is my new bike shop while I live in Houston for the next few years! read more

Just bought a bike from here... Very friendly staff and great service!! Would highly recommend planetary cycles and I know I'll be coming back! read more
