    We went to look at bikes for my son's 5th birthday. It's going to be a surprise. To our surprise,…read morethe bike and color he wanted was on display at Bicycle Warehouse. We decided to buy it. Every tag on the store on every bike states the included the "ready to ride" set up fee. The bike we wanted said $350 and includes $25 Ready to Ride. I went to look at helmets, Walter was already ringing up my husband. Where he attempted to pull a bait and switch with the tag. He rang it up at $350 PLUS $25 set up fee. When my husband asked to see the tag, he would not show it and then said it was wrong, looked on the official bike site and THEN held up a smaller bar code tag that stated $325. (Not our fault). He was being shady, and then stated "I'll take off $20". This is a $5 difference. It's the principle of the bait and switch tactics. He was quick to take off $20 because he knew he wasn't being honest. He never stated while we were asking questions at the bike at the display that it was actually a different price. He dampened a really fun experience of buying a bike for our son's birthday. We didn't walk out excited by the bike, we walked out feeling gross. We have bikes- he asked that- we could've been repeat customers had he not pulled this. It's a terrible practice and we won't be going back. We didn't buy the helmet- and the only reason we didn't walk out was because the bike my son wanted was there in store; the color is hard to come by. We bought the bike- as you can see on the receipt the bike is $330 with a $25 fee. If all the tags stated (as you can see in the various price points that the RTR fee is INCLUDED) why would the math not math? The Riprock coaster (picture included) 16" was the same price as the 20". We bought the 20". Same tag same price same INCLUDED FEE. It's shame that this was the experience of trying to buy local.

    So disappointing that the San Marcos location should close recently. Firstly disappointment that…read morethe Vista branch should close Initally a couple of years agao and now San Marcos !! Could look after every need and now only Temecula and Pacific Beach which is too far and a real inconvenience for parts / repair !

    I love this place. I bought my first Ebike from them in 2021. It got stolen so I bought a cool…read morelooking red Kabbit from them about 2 months later. Cool looking bike with tons of little issues. It always had a flat, so I learned to change those . And I think i was in the shop once a month getting new breaks. So, I got a chance to get to know a few of the guys. Rob, who is a really chill swarthy young man in his early to mid twenties. This young man named Mark who was a extremely friendly young Mexican man who has moved on to becoming an Emt i believe. Any repair big or small they have completed ASAP, they're always professional and friendly to everyone who walks into those doors. And they are great with communication and calling. With my current Ebike, because the kabbit had a wiring issue and had a little fire, UNDER MY SEAT‍. I returned to Alan's because I knew id get a fair price for a decent bike. Sure enough Rob hooked me up with the Ava Big Sur, literally the first one they built out the box. I love this bike and I cant say enough good things. Well, there haven't been many problems but 3 big ones. This is to be expected because my bike is my transportation. So 365 this bike is on the road.​ first there was a wiring issue and the owner himself rewired my whole bike (2 year warranty FTW), then this time last year I was having throttle issues so we swapped that out for like 60 bucks, now its the controller which is funny because I told Rob I think the controller needs to be replaced with the throttle (you cant see me but im shaking my fist jk). All these repairs combined the big issue was the wait. If you could imagine suddenly youre walking 7 miles in the rain at 4am to work. But thats not their fault. Sadly they dont have the wearhouse from Indiana Jones so they dont have every part to every bike. I understand this is a long review, but I feel ppl only talk about when theyre mad. Never give flowers. So to Alan's Bike shop, personally, thank you for your years of fantastic service and amazing staff.

    There are quite a few bike stores in the area, but Alan's stands out for service and expertise…read more The staff know bikes - as they should! - and are helpful at suggesting fixes for issues. I had a recumbent picker rebuilt here - end to end replacement of nearly everything - and they did a great job. It took a while, mostly because of having to order parts. I would go out of my way to take my bike here, over other local shops.

    Before I tell my story, I want to say George is so awesome! He is a small business owner, a…read moreveteran, is an avid cyclist, and has been running his business for around 12 years. I came to him because I'm a novice and had a Schwin sitting in my garage with a broken wheel. I am post op 6 weeks on my knee and needed a bike to give me some low impact movement. I wanted to know if it was even worth spending the money on getting it fixed or buying myself a new bike. Upon evaluation, George told me he was able to fix and tune up my bike at a cost that was much less than getting a new one. He kept me updated on shipment of parts and what he was currently working on. His best form of communication is through texts. Not only is George knowledgeable, George is passionate about his job and the people he helps. He made me feel comfortable as a novice biker because he answered my "newbie questions" without judgment or in a pretentious tone. George also explains things in a way that you can understand. He ensures you leave knowing how to care for and enjoy your bike. I'm coming back!!!

    Been using various locations to get my bike serviced over the years since moving to Carlsbad. This…read moretime it was my son's racing bike that needed a service as he was competing in the State national triathlon race at Mission Bay. I checked reviews of other locations and settled on Rev endurance. First time using George and all I can say is that I wish I had found him sooner. This level of quality and customer service is almost impossible to find. I thought there were a few small issues with the bike but George found quite a few things that needed attention and even sent me a video showing me the issues. Called me when the bike was ready and I collected my son from school and drove to collect the bike. Now for the best part of the experience. Normally I go in, pay and leave. This time, George invited both my son and I into his store and went over everything he had work on and repaired. Explained in detail what had needed fixed and explained to us in detail everything about his service. He helped us with tire pressures and saddle position which we adjusted after for my son's benefit It was a great experience overall for both of us and the quality of his work is second to none. And to top it off my sons won his race and also had tie fastest bike time for a junior on the bike course Will not hesitate to use again. You don't find quality like this that often. Even my son remarked that "he sure knows his stuff" 5 stars is the bare minimum he should get. There's a review on his YouTube channel of what he worked on with my son's bike. Well worth watching
