I wish I went here first instead of spending a ton of money scouting deals off fb marketplace for tools and parts to fix up my bike. Back in the day, I did use to own a ton of tools to fix up my bikes but I left the sport and got rid of most of them. I recently bought a vintage bike off marketplace and just wanted to swap out the pedals to grippy flats. I ended up destroying 3 wrenches and wrecked my knuckles trying to get one pedal that appeared to be welded to the crank set. Nothing I did worked, so I decided to come here instead. I love the whole concept of this place. It is a community hub to go and get your bike taken care of. They have a ton of old parts available and it is incredibly cheap. I was able to use shop time at $15 an hour and the volunteers helped me fix up my bike and provide tips on how to fix things up. Nobody was able to get the pedal off, so I was able to buy a used crank set for like $5. Insane. I don't think I could have beaten that hunting for deals in fb marketplace. They're a great nonprofit and they sell a ton of used bikes as well. Out the door, with the parts, and shop time, I was only out $40. With the time, I was able to swap out the bottom bracket with a good used one, used crank set, and true 4 wheels. Insane. Normally at a bike shop that probably would have been a few hundred dollars to have a mechanic do it. I would highly recommend anyone who is handy and wants to learn how to wrench on a bike come here. read more

Paul was friendly and extremely helpful in education for help with an inner tubing repair!

Awesome Shop. Highly recommended. The guys are extremely knowledgeable and very approachable. They'll teach how to fix whatever's wrong with your bike for a huge discount if you help them while they work on your bike. Non profit organizations deserve your support like this shop. read more

Great place to get vintage parts at spectacular prices. Love the people and their friendly helpful vibe. I only wish they were closer!

I took my bike to the Bicycle Tree yesterday. Without belaboring the issue, here are my observations: 1. Kindness 2. Great price (below market) 3. Expert knowledge Kudos and gratitude in the order of appearance: 1. Russell, another customer who will be cycling from California to Florida in September. A kind soul and in my age bracket. 2. Gene, the technician who volunteers at the Bicycle Tree. A gentle and kind person. Much taller guy that I. Spent time to fix the flat tire for which I had taken my bike to the shop; but also fixed the gears and adjusted them. 3. Alex, an Asian-American gentleman who speaks Spanish. He was the shift manager. May the Bicycle Tree continue to prosper and attract good customers, such as Russell. And may good and decent folks, such as Gene, continue to volunteer there. I will be there for sure in the future. read more

This place is a hidden gem!! I'm hesitant to post a review for fear it will start getting too crowded though either way I'd want to make sure it stays in business so please check it out! Paul and Conrad and staff are all amazingly friendly and knowledgeable! I went to pickup an affordable road bike and was able to snag a keeper for a very very affordable price. Their stock changes almost daily so you it may be best to call ahead and check if they have the type or frame size you are looking for. Adjustments/alterations are super affordable and done expertly. I wish there were more places like this that serves the community and are great for biking overall. Bravo and keep up the great work! read more

Best value to fix up your bike. You become part of the solution without feeling pressured to do too much. Great volunteers who make you feel welcome at any level of biker. A gem in Santa Ana. read more

Amazing staff everyone was very helpful, great budget friendly shop even with no bike experience they'll make sure you leave with new knowledge to fix your bike yourself the next time it breaks helped me fix my derailleur and chain on my mountain bike for around 20-30$ with used parts, another shop that recommended me to them told me he could replace it new but it'll cost about 120+ and told me to try stopping by at the bicycle tree to try getting it done cheaper and sure enough they did read more

Best bike shop ever. After being turned down from three bike shops in Huntington where I recently moved, decided to come back to the place that I knew would help me. I had all the parts so I just needed guidance on how to fix what I want. Conrad helped me, but not only did he fix the bike he showed me how to work on it so if wanted to myself, I could, which I have more confidence in doing so now. Real genuine people that love what they do here, in the heart of Santa Ana! read more

Just donated a bunch of very usable bike parts to them. The place was packed as they were teaching classes on bike repairs. I could have taken the time to post on Offer Up or Market Place but once I saw what they offer to the community and are a non profit, I had no problem donating high end parts that I've accumulated over the years. read more

One of my favorite places to stop by! I've been working on rebuilding my first bike from practically just the frame. All of the volunteers and workers while I was there, especially Alex, are awesome! They're very accommodating and helpful, allowing me to stay for an egregious amount of time (sorry guys, haha) but I'm super grateful that they do! It does get busy in the shop, so if you're low on patience and time, this might not be the place for you. It's a learning and community space for everybody and takes a lot of hard work, but I love it here. Prices are kept very low for good quality parts! You'll be hard pressed to find new ones for things such as shifters and derailleurs, but 90% of the used parts are in good shape and may just need a little TLC. If you need help figuring out what's good and what isn't, volunteers and workers are there to help you out. It gets pretty busy shortly after opening on Saturdays (though I can't speak for the weekdays), but despite that, people are there to help you out if you need it. It's a great opportunity to observe other builds and people's work as well as trying out putting together your own by yourself as well. Access to nearly infinite tools and resources. Overall... hidden gem. I'd like to keep it that way in a bit of a gatekeeping way, but I also would love to see these guys blow up in popularity (even more so). Just make sure to keep your low prices, lol! read more

Very fast, helpful, and good price. You're not gonna find better service anywhere at any other price point.

Came here to get my disc brakes checked out and to get my bike seat adjusted. Alex was extremely helpful in explaining how to take care of noisy disc brakes. Will definitely be taking by bike there again. I highly recommend giving The Bicycle Tree a try for your bike services. read more

Shout out to Bike Tree! This place is freaking awesome! Paul and his team are amazing. They helped me true my wheels and also went into detail steps of what to look out for. Although I still lack the skill of truing a wheel, I know where to go to learn a thing or two about bikes. Shout out to the wonderful staffs! Thank you for making my visit pleasant! read more

Failed miserably in trying to DIY fix a flat back tire on Jetson E-bike. Walked in and was welcomed in like a long lost friend. Ivan and Paul expertly guided (more like took over) me to a replaced back tire inner tube and put the wheel back on in less than 30 minutes. The value and cost is unreasonably fair and honest. Not only that but they were so nice and nonjudgmental. This establishment is a godsend and I walked out in disbelief and with a smile. Do not hesitate to bring in your bike and learn from these geniuses. I will be brining my traditional road bike in for tuning next week just cause. What a local small business treasure!!! read more

My brother upgraded his bike gave me an old road bike frame and some tires. Went into a few shops and was quoted $2,000 to get it road ready. The bicycle tree worked with me and provided a mix of new and used parts and did it for 1/10 the cost! Couldn't more highly recommend the vibe and values of this place. read more

A haven for all things bike Spanish and English speaking Learn the basics Buy refurbished Sell Regular ride outs read more

Not much to say, this is by far the best place for Bikers to goto for great service , a knowledgeable staff , and a great cause . Donated two bikes already . And pickup one bike and parts . Worked perfect for years for being used ! can't say that about anywhere else! not even new stuff from Amazon ! read more

This place is badass. Most of you reading don't want to work on your own bike ...because it's a lot to learn if you're not experienced. So, those folks take it to the shop and PAY. Here's the in between for those who want repairs AND to learn how it's done. Jeff was the bomb. We did $100 worth of repairs for $36 and shot the shit for 2 hrs. In the end...my bike rides like new and I've found a new place that fits how to want to fix my bike. #yeehaa Give this place a shot read more

Great shop, found a great second hand bike for a good prize and the people were very helpful and even replaced a tire for me for free. The only downside for me was that I lost my headband there, but that was me being dumb while trying on helmets that didn't fit my large head :P. So great experience, would definitely recommend! read more

Love my EMOJO RAM Sport E-Bike. Took it out for a ride. It was great, so much fun. 20 mph, 30 miles on a single charge (4 to 6 hours to charge). 20 x 4 in. Tires. 11 mile ride to Newport Beach / Huntington Beach from Santa Ana Ca. using the Santa Ana river Bike trail. Stoped by the Bicycle Tree in Santa Ana and got my tire tubes filled up with commercial grade tire sealant for $10 for all small hole stickers. Which I had already got 2?and that's why I went there. Great place. Plus got some chain lube, patch kits, co2 to inflate the tires and a pump for a great price as well so I'm prepared for on the trail disaster. Thank you Bicycle Tree. read more

Always come in here when I need to use a tool I don't have or when I just want to wrench on something properly without Mickey mousing it at home! Paul and the guys at bicycle are always welcoming, you can be there and talk bikes all day with whomever shows up. It's more of a learn to work on your bike yourself with assistance if needed which is better than you sitting on your ass while a mechanic fixes your bike. Here's my latest build I put together last night! read more

My partner and I came in today for a bike and Triss attended us. Triss is AWESOME, and had so much knowledge to share with us. Was incredibly helpful to us and so patient. It was our first time here, and we had such a great experience. We left feeling so happy and so cared for by the service Triss gave us. I highly recommend coming. If the workers are anything like Triss, then you're in really great hands. read more

What a gem this place is. Been here a few times to buy parts for our bikes and once for wheel replacement. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff is just exceptional. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. As this is a non-profit organization, don't expect to find high-end equipment here. They do offer great alternatives that does the trick for a fraction of the cost. If looking for used bikes, they also sell some here. Visit this place and you'll see what a find it is. read more

Im not the sharpest tool in the social shed but the volunteers at the Bicycle tree felt like such sincerely awesome people. Im new to any kind of bicycling community but this was definitely a step into what a great community would feel like. Thanks to the volunteers today, from one long haired guy in a mask that is a pretty awkward bean. Thx for helping me with my SE Lager read more

I loved the Bicycle Tree. Like told everyone. Made sure it people had old bikes or wanted to make a cash donation to mention them. Full on roadie. Recently my bike was damaged and I went here. They had just take in the person's bike ahead of me and the bitched about the price the entire time. I got to the guy and said you won't hear me complaining about any price! Just stares at me. I had this guy help me before and I thought we got a long really well. He's pretty cold and basically tells me I have to fix it myself. I say I'm willing to pay what the cost would be and he's like that's not a option. At this point he's just staring at me... It's so awkward. I bring up that we have talked before for hours. He stares at me again and says something like I know who you are. My heart is broken and I am taking my bike to a commercial shop. read more

Super friendly workers. Love that it's run by volunteers and gives old bikes another life. Got my first hybrid bike here and super excited for my first quality bike. They really hooked me up by changing the seat, inner tube, back tire AND lowered the price. Great ppl! Definitely recommend! read more

Went in to get my bike's tires checked out and they were so attentive and fast! The folks there really know what they're doing and they're good people. I can trust that they wouldn't charge me for something that didn't need to be fixed. read more

This is a very unique place. They're a nonprofit that supports the community by providing lessons on building/repairing bikes and they even offer bikes on loan to people in need. They also have a lot of used bikes for sale. You can either buy one as-is and fix it up yourself or they'll do it for you for a price. Really even getting a fixed up used bike "out the door" with all working parts is worth it in my opinion. It's a lot of work. I bought a used Cannondale for about $50 and my wife fixed it up herself with Bicycle Tree's help. She paid for used parts and paid for their time. read more

I had been sent to The Bicycle Tree in Santa Ana, CA by the Salvation Army. I, Vincent (Spanish), was looking around the store on Saturday October 5th, 2019. Five minutes before the store was about to close I found a bike that I believed was perfect for me, a Jamis Eureka. I asked Paul and Mark if they would hold it for me, they both said yes and wrote a note to place on the bike. Another worker, Vince (Asian), saw the bike and yelled out, "Hey, that bike is worth $3,000.00!" Paul, and Mark, promised me the bike and asked for me to come back the next day Sunday at 1:00pm. I told them that I would. The next day Sunday, October 6th, 2019, when they opened the door I could not find my bike anywhere, so I asked Paul where it was he said that a customer had changed his mind, while another employee, Vince (Asian), told me that someone bought it. Someone is lying. One more thing, Paul treatment towards me was very bad, since like he said, "If I am from the Salvation Army I should accept whatever treatment comes my way." I was there 4 hours trying to get another bike. If you can help in some way (210) 962-0710 Vincent read more

Came in for help with a bike that was stored in a carport and was all full of cobwebs and rust. I was trying to get a bike to ride for some cardio and to get around and save money. Lots of friendly helpful guys generous with their knowledge and expertise. Then one of the technicians named Dan started guiding me on what to do to get the bike into riding condition when he made a warm connection with me and recommended a different lightweight beautiful bike that works just for me and is easy to ride! Just what I need - he found my new health partner! Can't thank him enough, Dan is a very special person :) read more

This bike I put together myself but there were a couple issues w/ the bike that I needed to take it to the professionals.

My GF and I knew nothing about bikes but wanted to get back into the sport as adults. Vincent was AMAZING! He took his time to explain about the different sorts, bits and cool facts of the bikes we were eyeing, and helped us pick out the PERFECT pair. I am now a proud owner of a light blue vintage Schwinn Le Tour AKA "Tita" La Tour, and my GF owns a sweet silver Raleigh bike. Hoping to pop into the bike maintenance 101 sessions to get even more acquainted with our new "babies" too! What a great non-profit doing fabulous things for the community! read more
