Everything always goes well! In my opinion, this is the best Bike Shop in town! These guys are honest and they treat their customers very well! I wouldn't take my bike anywhere else! Thanks read more

I rode out from Davis just based on the reviews alone and because I got tired of receiving mediocre work on my bike. The minute I arrived, my bike was triaged like a patient in the emergency ward, but without the wait. Andron's attention to detail elicited immediate trust from me. The atmosphere is like that of hanging out in your buddy's garage with great music and tons of random things to look at. When it came time to pay, I was shocked at the low price. Finally, I have found precision-minded mechanics I can trust at a price that can't be beat, but the experience alone is worth the ride out there! read more

This place is great! They did an amazing job tuning up my bike and fixing a couple of extra things! I'm really grateful for them!

Someone from Sacramento area bike advocates had recommended Velo Trap and what an awesome recommendation! I got a flat tire last night and my brakes were trash. I was hoping to be able to ride this weekend and Velo trap came through. ! I am super happy to find a great bike shop at very reasonable prices. I will definitely be bringing my bike back there for repairs instead of trying to do it myself. Excellent service, fast repair, and great prices. Thanks!!! read more

Velo Trap - Weekend ready. Thanks Velo Trap - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Sacramento, California

I highly recommend this place! Andron helped me out with my bike. He recommended a tune up new brakes and tires. My bike hasn't had any work since 2020 so it needed it. It took about a day to get it back and the staff didn't give me too hard of a time for my bike being in such bad shape before. Thanks guys! read more

Andron and Madison are the best. Always cordial, prompt and efficient. Masters at bike repairs

67/10 rating, best bike shop in town (maybe even the entire west coast). go here if you want quality and affordability and know what's good 4 u or be a fool. read more

Andron is the city's best kept secret. I want him to get your business but I don't want to share him. Low-key guy, always turns my bike around in a day for a tip. Very matter-of-fact approach, no drama, keep it for your mama. Respect the chill. read more

Had a fall and my handlebars were misaligned. I thought it was going to be a major repair but after 2 minutes the tech diagnosed the problem as a simple adjustment and took care of it lickety-split! Very laid back vibes, very professional and approachable. read more

Great work done on my 3 bikes at a very reasonable price. Quick turnaround too. :).

Amazing service. I rounded out a chainring boot and two other bike shops told me they couldn't fix it. Velo Trap fixed it in 20 minutes. Thank you so much! Such a reasonably priced Al shop. I'll never go anywhere else now. read more

Got a great deal on a refurbished bike. They were super helpful in working with me to mount add ons. They also price matched items I found. Will gladly be returning to them for maintenance on the bike read more

Struggled in on my wobbly Marin San Rafael, got a thorough tune-up at a fair price, glided out!

Velo Trap fixed and tuned my old bike and I picked up today. It rode like a brand new bike. I could not believe it was my bike. They were also reasonably priced and very honest. Thank you. I'll refer you to family and friends and be back for annual checkups! read more

Our son goes to school in Davis and needed someone to troubleshoot his e-bike wheel. This after several works by the local bike services. We only a Saturday to take care of this because we're from out of town. My husband found great reviews on Velo Trap and decided to take a chance. Our 30-minute trip to take the e-bike to Sacramento was worth it! Andron went above and beyond to take apart the wheel, talked to tech support from the e_bike brand dealer, and made a customized part to fix the problem so that we could have the bike all fixed up by the end of the day. All of this great work for a reasonable fee. This is a rare example of honest and skilled service! We're so grateful! read more

Very nice and knowledgeable Patch my tire and tuned up my electric bike Even cleaned up fenders all in a timely manner Bike runs great now Thx guys! read more

Really happy with the service they provided on my bike. Clearly knew a lot about the business and we will be definitely come back when needed and recommend to friends. Thanks guys! read more

Reached out via Yelp and heard back promptly. Took my bike in Tuesday and it was ready Wednesday!

The folks at Velo Trap do magnanimous work! I wanted to rebuild the wheels from my SE Fast Ripper with new rims, spokes, spoke nipples and 2 piece rotors. From start to finish Velo Trap listened to, and thoughtfully addressed every concern and request that I had. The new wheels came back laced, trued and dished with outstanding precision. My bike rolls smooth as glass! The shop might not be palatial, but Velo Trap has it where it counts! read more

Just the other day the chain on my specialized stumpjumper snapped while I was just out and about. I was distraught and needed the repair to be done soon since I rely heavily on my bike for transportation around UC Davis. I looked around online and found this little gem. I had remembered seeing it whenever I went to Big Stump on the other side to grab a beer and thought I'd bring my poor bike on over. Got there around 11 AM on a Saturday and I was quickly greeted and helped. Was in and out in about 15-20 minutes and the repair was MUCH cheaper than I had expected. With service like this, I'll be sure to be back for all my bicycle needs. Even though they specialize in vintage bikes and not necessarily mountain bikes, they knew their stuff and got me on the streets again and the bike feels even better than before. If you're looking for a good bike shop, this is your place! read more

Velo Trap - Great chain repair done on my bike! - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Sacramento, California

Andron and his partner/s do quick and excellent work. I purchased a second hand bike (a Trek 700 Sport) from here over 8 years ago. I bring it in a few times a year for maintenance and replacement of parts. I believe there are new AND second hand bikes for sale, as well as many accessories (bike lights, handlebars, helmets, bike racks for the car, and cycling hats). read more

Velo Trap - Able to get my groceries thanks to Velo Trap... - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Sacramento, California

Needed to fix a flat tire. Left a message via this site, guys responded right away that they could. I asked if they could take a quick look at my bike overall since I had not gotten it at for about a year. They stated they would give it a look over and let me know if they saw any problems when I dropped off. Next day got a call that I just needed a basic tune up at a very reasonable price. Bike was ready the next day. It feels like I am on a brand new bike. These guys respond quickly, act quickly and do not over charge. I will definitely use them in the future. Their shop is down an ally by Old Soul if you get a little lost. read more

What once was Edible Pedal has become Velo Trap, a super cool, locally run and owned bike shop that's ideal for the urban bicyclist. They have everything you need to get you back on the road and riding along in top gear! My Schwin was in desperate need of a tune up. I ride the thing constantly and, just before I brought it in, had been having issues with my chain constantly falling off. Not to mention my wheels were out of alignment and my grips were moments away from completely disintegrating off the handles. The friendly repair guy took one look and said they could fix it all with a basic $40 tune up (plus the cost of the handle grips). He even said they could have it back to me within an hour, which was an unexpected surprise considering that I've had to leave my bike overnight during any previous tune ups at other shops. Sure enough, an hour later I received a call that my bike was ready. More good news: he said the cost was $33 because it wasn't in as bad a shape as they thought! I especially like the open garage feel and the approachable staff. This may not be the place to go if you're a die hard, Lance Armstrong type, but for the casual cyclist like myself, it's everything you need and more. read more

Had my bike ready in a few hours,other wanted the bike to stay a couple days,fast,friendly,knowledgeable people

First time in was yesterday - I called ahead spoke to Andron, he told me no wait time and that the tire I needed was in stock. I always call ahead everywhere just to save myself the time. I brought two of my bicycle tires in one for a flat repair and one to be checked out. Andron is the man in charge from what I saw the minute I walked in. He greeted me and came up to me right away to take the tires of my hands. Phone rang once and he picked up. While working on my tires he was giving customers information over the phone, mellow chill vibe and very respectful staff. Andron not only explained what he was doing while working on the tires, he also educated me on some details about my bike I had no idea applied. Overall this is now my favorite place to bring my bike. I rode it for the first time today to have it inspected by Andron. He adjusted many things and greased all the bells and whistles. I am extremely grateful for such knowledgeable staff and a place I feel comfortable bringing my bike and business. I met a nice person here names Scott. Such a a happy soul. read more

Velo Trap - The man in charge hard at work. - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Sacramento, California

Andron went out of his way to find me the best value. He had to call different sources to get the parts on a tight timeline. But he got it done. He always comes in at very reasonable prices and he is super responsive and caring. I definitely trust my bike and anybody else's bike with this team. read more

Velo Trap - Rebuilt bottom bracket and crankset - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Sacramento, California

Honest, nice shop with knowledgeable team. My go-to for quick fixes and special order items.

Right in the middle of midtown, just got my bike out of storage and the guys service the air in my tire for free. I also bought a bike pump. I highly recommend them as the hospitality and friendliness they showed was superb! They also have a lot of bike accessories for sale as well as bikes! I highly recommend them as their service is outstanding read more

Awesome service! Velo Trap is a great brick and mortar bike shop that offers great products, speedy turn around times, and bicycle knowledge. Every trip i have made here has been excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful and won't push you to make purchases you don't need. If you need something they don't have in stock they can order it for you and, in some cases, have it ready for pick up the very next day (this is great for impatient people like myself). On my most recent trip, i needed mechanical help that i was quoted by another local bike shop to cost me $100+. I stopped by Velo Trap the following day and Andron fixed the issue in only a few minutes and charged me a fraction of the amount i was quoted at the competitor. If you need ANY maintenance, repair, or install i would highly recommend checking Velo Trap first. This is easily my favorite bike shop in the area. read more

My bike is running great after getting some routine maintenance at Velo Trap! This was my second visit and it was still great. Thanks so much! read more

So quick and efficient! They put together my bike for me that I brought to them in a box. Great service

Best bike repair in town. Always nice, quick turnaround on repairs. We take all our bikes here. They don't price gouge you, just a great local bicycle shop. Will only go here for any bicycle related needs. read more

Should have reviewed a while ago, but this place is fantastic. I was hit by a car on my bike about a year ago, and at the time it was my main mode of transportation. The owner was so chill, down to earth, speedy and EXTREMELY helpful with repair. He knew I was going through insurance and was so reasonably priced, and really just went the extra mile. Definitely made a less than desirable time so much more manageable. I'm no bike aficionado, but I know excellent customer service when I see it/receive it. Don't think, just go here. read more

Best bike shop I've been to hands down. The owners are great and its just a little shop thats a hole in the wall but don't let looks deceive, they provide great customer service. Had to replace my ultrega shifters because of a hydraulic brake fluid leak and they managed to utilize the warranty on to get me a brand new one w/o the additional cost. Their service is also pretty inexpensive compared to other bike shops I've been at. At most shops you'll find the environment to be condescending because the owners tend to be snobbish as they tend to believe that they know it all, but not here, owners are pretty down to earth. Highly recommend you check it out read more

This is the BEST BIKE SHOP hands down!! I've been taking my vintage bikes to one of the owners (I believe Madison?) since the shop was called Edible Pedal. It's in a little garage next to Old Soul Coffee in the alley between L and Capitol and they seriously ROCK! They are honest, kind and compassionate w their extremely reasonable pricing and their work. Unless they don't have a part my bikes have needed, my services are always completed within and hour or two tops! I just go next door and have a cup of coffee and anticipate riding a brand new bike momentarily and I'm so grateful for them. They give a quick call if they see anything else that needs attention and discuss any additional pricing at that time and if it's not in my budget and I kindly decline (if it's something that can wait) they are just so kind and sincere every time. Let me put something into perspective for everyone. In the past, I've taken my bikes (or called) to other shops for quotes. I've gotten quotes of around $60 Velo Trap charged me $25! Please remember to tip! They sooooo deserve it! If you're taking your bikes anywhere else, please consider supporting this AMAZING little shop and kind souls who operate it, you will absolutely love them and you'll love hopping back on a bike that always feels BRAND NEW that was repaired by some of the kindest shop owners I've ever encountered Happy riding, happy humans! read more

Couldn't ask for more. Excellent service. Great turnaround time. Better pricing than my neighborhood bike shop. Had my electric bike and bmx bike assembled and it's been running flawless. Highly recommended. read more

I needed my breaks fixed. They returned my call super fast. Said they could look at it that same day. Took it to them and got it back in less than a hour. Very friendly and great service. We will Definitely use them again! Thank you,Velo Trap read more

Stopped by earlier to get some work done on my bike because last night I accidentally biked into a parked car like an idiot. Well, let me tell you. This is truly the place to go to for excellent service. The entire staff are extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. These guys live and breathe bikes for a living, and it certainly shows. What I also really like is that there isn't this pretentious bike buff vibe here like there is in other midtown bike shops, and that is really important to me. Today a nice young man named Sen worked on my bike. Not only did he repair my broken spoke, but he also cleaned and lubed my chain, pumped my tires and fixed a few other things, and the entire process only took about 15 minutes. I was very impressed and left him a nice tip. Honestly my bike rides and feels a million times better than it did before last night's accident. I guess it was a blessing in disguise. Overall, I am beyond satisfied with my experience here at Velo Trap. I recommend this place to everyone. Definitely support this shop. These guys are excellent. read more
