Will is extremely easy to work with and very friendly. He helped me assemble my new bike from the box, was responsive, punctual, and set everything up while I was able to get some work done inside. Despite a few hiccups with my front derailleur, he was always just a quick text away and came back not once, but twice to help me fix the issue. During one of the visits, he noticed some slight creaking coming out of the seat post (that I didn't even notice) and went ahead and fixed other things while he was there. Nothing but a great experience working with Will -- highly recommend! read more

Do not use this service. Will way over charges and can do simple stuff,, but messes up harder things, and does not stand by his work, just trying to stick to people for money. I paid a lot and the problem was. not fixed, and he would not take responsibility. I also heard a lot of bad things from shops in the biseness. I wasted money with him, he is a narcissist. read more

After hearing about Will from many friends, it was time to give him a try. In short, why did I wait so long? The minute he arrived, I recognized him from days dealing with R&A cycles in Walnut Creek. I was instantly relieved because I had nothing but great experiences with him when he worked at that shop. However, now that he's freelancing AND mobile, I'm much happier! I knew a few things that needed to be done on my bike but Will identified a few other minor fixes that got my bike back to "as new". He figured out my rear drive-side bearing was shot, the seat post clamp had some grit in it, causing creaks, and the sealant was low in both tires. Awesome! He also serviced my Ceramic Speed bottom bracket, replaced the front chainring, and fixed a warp in the rear rotor. It's fitting that the guy who built my bike when it was new got it back to "as new" again - and the cost was absolutely a deal. In short - having a super-talented, super-nice guy come to your door and take care of your beloved bike(s) is exactly what I need in my busy life. Highly recommended! read more

Very happy to have found Will to repair my wife's ebike. He responded right away when I reached to him and showed up right on time for our appointment this morning. Will is very easy to deal with, knows his stuff and does all the work out of his van. Highly recommend his service as it is so convenient that he is mobile. read more

After reading the good reviews, I reach out to Willem. I needed to buy a suitable bike for me so that I can start riding with my son. After a long discusion about my needs, Willem got me a great used mountain bike that is suitable to my needs/fitting. He came to our place and took his time to make the adjustments needed sothat I can ride the bike smoothly. He also ajusted and did some minor fixes to my kids' bike free of charge. Willem is great at answering all the questions I had and he is a type of person that doesn't hold back from sharing his years of experience/knowledge. I recomend his service to anyone in need of repairs, upgrades or even purchasing a used bike. TASTY CYCLE .....Rocks! read more

During my Bay Ride- I met Will he is very knowledgeable and experienced. I had constant crackling noise coming out of my bike. Had discussion with him n he mentioned need to compartmentalize the problem, . I told him I already checked n did few things n then he checked Rear derailleur n cleaned it properly. The problem is fixed n i enjoyed my rest of ride. I have already recommended him to my friends. read more

I'm so grateful to Will for coming to our home and resuscitating our family's dead bikes! All four of them needed some serious TLC but Will wasn't daunted one bit. His work is efficient and affordable and there wasn't a single issue that didn't have the solution in that adorable truck of his. Will is just extremely good at what he does. He's also a really nice guy who truly loves bikes and is very generous with his expertise. He gave me some great bike trail and bike transport tips. He also went the extra mile by throwing in a complimentary cleaning and very kindly set up the bikes in a spot where they couldn't be seen from the street and wouldn't get stolen. It was cold, dark and late when he wrapped up but Will had absolutely no complaints. Thank you Will, we will happily never shlep our bikes to the repair shop again! read more

Tasty Cycle - 0ur family bikes that Will spiffed up and made look like new! Wish I had a before photo :) - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me

Somehow I confused his name from Willem to Jeff. It is actually Willem. He's doing a custom wheel build for me now! read more

Willem's kind, expert, convenient, honest support is a game changer! Super responsive, great customer service, and a true bicycle repair expert. read more

I've loved working with TastyCycle! I got quotes for a thorough tune up from local shops that was $225-$275, tasty came in at $160 and that's with a bunch of stuff the others didn't include. Then he found a crack in my wheel, which other shops didn't find, and works with local vendors to find parts versus the only options at bike shops is to order new parts. He saved me so much money and kept my bike safe and rides better than ever. Easiest five star review ever. Plus he comes to you! Cheaper and more convenient. No brainer. read more

Tasty Cycle - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me

Will was super-communicative, very friendly and got the job done in a jiffy. Great service!

Willem came out to my place and fixed a flat on my electric bike that was beyond my bandwidth to repair and installed 2 tire liners. He's quick and professional, and then tuned some other aspects on the bike. He also fixed and tuned a couple of other bikes, including one that needed a new chain. All in all a great value that saved me a whole bunch of time, all done in less than 1 hour. read more

Willem is a great bike mechanic. Has done a fabulous job on multiple repairs for us - fixing brakes, fenders, chainrings, busted tires. Super pleasant, great communicator, easy to work with. read more

I wanted to wait a couple of rides to post a review of Tasty Cycle's install of my new brakes. I contacted Tasty on a Sunday morning and Willem had time to make it out later in the afternoon!! You can tell right away that Willem knows what he's doing and from the results he is detailed in his craft. Don't hesitate to reach out to Tasty for all of your bike needs!! read more

Tasty Cycle - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me

Willem has serviced two of my bikes now. He has been transparent with issues or potential/inevitable issues, is professional and most importantly AVAILABLE for house-calls (the mobile bike mechanic model is brilliant!), he's the best. I have recommended him to some colleagues who have also become regular clients of his now. And yes, what everyone is saying is true: he will come to you AND drop-off your bike (maybe not always in 24hrs) but he does. As long as Tasty Cycle is around, he will be my go-to-guy. He is totally pleasant to be around, is a good communicator and I learn something new or interesting with each repair or ride. read more

Will was so awesome! What I thought was a minor issue that needed to be fixed, ended up being much more after he checked it out! Since Will was so thorough, he was able to make my daughter's bike safe- giving me a peace of mind when she rides. Thanks Will! Highly recommended! read more

We've had Willem over to our house three times now, total trust in his work. He's made great recommendations and has found some unknown issues. He did some great research in finding out how to retool a system on my Pivot, super happy with results. Great communication along the way. read more

Will is a professional. That makes working with him so easy. Quick to diagnose and fix the problem. I had a rather testy problem in my lectric e-bike. Needed to get a stripped screw out; which was tedious for me but easy for him. In the process of adjusting the rear brake, I had unwittingly loosened the calipers that caused for the brake oil to leak as well. Will fixed that too. And gave a thorough sanity check to ensure all is well. Great guy! Great service. Easy to schedule and work with! Not exorbitant with the billing either. All is good. read more

Will is really easy to work with. He does great work and comes to your house. I was falling WAY behind on maintenance and sometimes shops are backed up for 2-3 weeks. It's nice to just have him come by and fix a bunch of bikes right on the spot. Saves me two trips to the shop and gets it done for likely less than what I'd pay a shop read more

Fantastic services. Amazing expertise. Very convenient and affordable. He built my sport road bicycle; He fixed a few issues and came back with great suggestions to improve my setup. I recommend Tasty Cycle big time. read more

5/5 Willem did an incredible job wrapping 95% of my road bike with Ride Wrap. Could not have dreamed for better quality of work. Not to mention that Willem saved me at least 2 weeks of wait time by going to the Santa Cruz Ride Wrap headquarters to check if they had my specific bike Ride Wrap available. Can not recommend Willem enough. Will definitely seek their expertise for future bike maintenance endeavors. read more

In conclusion, I trust and highly recommend Willem to work on any bike and have called him for repeat service. Background: I keep up with general maintenance my bikes, but I needed a little extra help with tuning them after years of wear and Willem answered the call and went above and beyond. Not to mention the fact that this is a mobile bike service that is less expensive than the bike shops. I have three different types of bikes that just didn't ride like they used to. I have tried taking them to multiple bike shops and it has been a waste of resources to do so. Historically, I would get the bikes back from the shop and new issues would arise after a couple rides. Repairs: Glory 1 (DH): Issues resolved: Both tires were flat, the rear derailleur had issues with certain gears, and the hydraulic breaks were not functioning properly. The ask: I asked Willem to repair tires and look over the the rear derailleur. Not only did he easily fix the first two issues, he identified and repaired the break issue. Cannondale Six13 (road): Issues resolved: Derailleurs would not go into certain gears, the rims were not true, incorrect installation of cables, and the tires needed to be repaired. The ask: I asked to fix the derailleurs and tires, but Willem again identified other issues: untrue rims and the incorrect installation of cables/ derailleur. He spent the time to go over this bike and make it feel better than it has in the past five years. I took the bike to a shop to install new cables/ derailleur and perform a tune up a couple months ago. After Willem repaired the bike, he asked me if I ever had the cables replaced. I informed him that a bike shop did earlier and Willem showed me what happened to the cables and the derailleur. It was clear to me that the bike shop did not install nor manage the cables and derailleurs correctly. Ibis Mojo (XC): Issues resolved: Crank bros dropper post started twisting and both derailleurs needed some tuning. The ask: I asked to repair the dropper post. Willem was the one that identified the shifting issue and fine tuned the derailleurs for me. I remembered shifting being a bit delayed, but now the shift is instant and feels great. He could not repair the dropper post because the design does not allow for the addition of air and the twisting is due to a joint that has been damaged beyond repair. After the service Willem identified different seat post options within my price range and even identified used seat posts that are easily rebuilt to feel like new. I have been searching for a technician to go the extra mile to identify and repair these issues and I finally found that technician in Willem. I was in the market to replace the bikes because they just didn't feel the same as they did earlier on in their life. I even went as far as listing them on Craigslist, but after he repaired all the issues, I didn't repost the listing and really enjoy riding all of them again. Fixing the shifting issues with all the bikes, identifying the break issue with the Glory, truing the wheels on the Six13, and taking extra time after the repair to find used dropper posts that would fit my bike is why I will call on no one else to work on my bikes again as well as why I HIGHLY recommend Tasty Cycle to all of my friends and family. Thank you again for the excellent service! read more

Willem is a phenomenal bike mechanic. I have been working with him for over 4 years. Not only does he do a phenomenal job on repairing but he acts as a consultant as well. I have broken parts and I have needed upgrades. With every repair he has helped me evaluate the cost vs value of a new part. Even when I wanted to get crazy stupid he kept me focused on the best possible solution. He has spent time with me teaching what he is fixing and how he is fixing. He has been flexible around my schedule. Great at communicating and my dog loves him. What more could you want from a bike mechanic that comes to your house. read more

I hit a pothole and knocked my wheel out of true. I tried to adjust it, but made it worse. The many miles of deferred maintenance finally caught up to my bike and I really needed a tune up before heading out for an adventure this weekend. Willem got me in for service quickly. He fixed far more than the wheel in less than 2 hours and I'm confident I can ride it safely! Amazing business model and service! If your bike needs some TLC, definitely send him a message. read more

That was a great experience. No more loading the bikes, waiting or picking them back up. I saved so much time and money for a repair and tune up. I'll be using Tasty Cycle again for sure!!! read more

Long overdue review for myself but Jan came through for me a few times on very short notice. If he has the time and availability, he's willing to help you out as much as he can. I've dealt with a few repair guys since getting my E bike and hands down Jan has been the best and most professional that I have gotten help from. If you found his info you found the right guy! read more

I needed a tune up on both my gravel bike and full suspension bike. Willem was nice and personable when I called him, and he was available to work on my bikes the next day. The service was finished much faster than any turn around from a traditional bike shop that I've gone to before, and was more convenient since he could come to me. His rates were definitely affordable and competitive. Overall the quality was great too--I felt confident taking my bikes out to ride and knowing they had gotten looked at by an experienced mechanic. read more

Super fair pricing, friendly and knowledgeable dude, and way easier than bringing my bike somewhere. And he helped me when I locked myself in my backyard when I was putting my bike away!! read more

Willem did great work on both my bicycles! He went out of his way to find the correct parts, and I could not be happier. He also helped to adjust my seat height. Since then I'm finding that I'm able to get a lot more power when climbing. I would recommend him to anyone, as he is very knowledgeable. Thanks so much Willem! read more

I had him tune two bikes: he was quick, thorough, and great to work with. Highly recommend.

Willem comes highly recommended, 100% Great service. His knowledge of bikes is fantastic.

Willem is awesome!! He came to my home, picked up my bike and brought it back completely repaired in under 24 hours. He also did a really great bike fitting for me on my super fancy new Fuel. AND he got 4 Burning Man bikes all cleaned up and ready to roll right at our friends place....so whether you have fancy or funky bikes, he makes it SO much easier by coming to you (instead of you bringing your bike to a shop) and he is super skilled, super knowledgeable, AND his rates are super reasonable! I highly recommend Tasty Cycles! read more
