    Amazing!!! Super helpful, great prices, accomodating... the full meal deal. would HIGHLY recommend d renting bikes for the island/s and would 10 out of 10 recommend renting from here! Dan and his crew are great! So, unless you're an avid cyclcist... get the E bikes! You'll still be exhausted but not dead and can experience the entire island!

    Really love this place! Dan has always taken great care of me on my rentals when I am on the island. Great personable guy who cares. Love riding the more remote places on the island and staying off the main roads. Especially like Enchanted forest road. I even have a Wildlife Cycles license tag on my truck back here in Atlanta. Thanks!

    I'd never tried an ebike before, so I thought this would be a good opportunity. It was great! I reserved online and the day of, walked over there from my rental (5 mins away) and they were ready for me within 5 minutes of my arrival. Vicki gave me a quick tutorial on how to use it, a map and off I went for 2 hours to tool around the east side of the island. I went about 13 miles and it was glorious. Definitely ample hills to test the highest mode -- turbo -- but it was thrilling to go downhill, too. I had a great time with Wildlife and this ebike. The owners are also so friendly and helpful. I will definitely rent from them again when I'm staying on the island/in Eastsound!

    The bikes were fine and the people who worked at the store were nice, but don't rent from them if you're in a hurry.

    Hey Dan.....my wife and I will be on Orcas Island October 23-29 and we'd like to rent a couple of "e-bikes" if we could. I tried going to your website, but it's a broken link. want me to just call you?

    Hi Mark, sorry that you were having issues with the site. Please email Vicki at vleimback@gmail.com and she can set up reservation for you!

    My wife and I will be visiting Orcas Island from Sep 26 through Oct 3. We are interested in renting bikes while we are there. We are in our early 70's and have hybrid bikes where we live. What options do you have for us? My wife is 5' 4"; I am 6' 2"

    Hi Michael, We do rent Trek hybrids. Since Orcas is quite hilly, we also rent electric bikes,which make climbing the switchbacks on the Mt. Constitution (elevation 2409')… 

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    Kenny, "The owner" response to Maggie G's review is false. She went in and saw a bike for sale…read morethat she was potentially interested in purchasing and sat on it only to get talked down to and yelled at. Nothing was broken, no bike was rolled away with, Kenny just needs to take a class or read a book or two on customer service. Shortly before she came in I was in the store looking to rent a bike. I came in with the intention of renting at 2:30 on a Tuesday and returning 10:00 am on Thursday around 44 hours. So I asked if he could give me a potential discount and he basically laughed in my face and said no, we only do calendar day rentals. So $72 a day, which is ridiculous because the other local bike store rentals for $45 a day for a similar bike. For 3 days, there is a 3 day discount of $24 off equalling $192, still ridiculous for 44 hours. They did have ten or so identical bikes outside so Kenny must be a trust fund baby or something just leaving business out there. Neither of us got a welcoming experience or any type of feeling of hospitality or simply want to have us in the store. I recommend Lopez kayaks and bicycle works just down the road, completely different experience. The only reason we didn't is they weren't open for the season yet. Id rather walk the island than rent from Village Cycles.

    Let me tell you a story about how Seth saved me from a dumb dad move and thereby saved my weekend -…read more Busy weekend out on the island with the fam, lots of hustle and bustle - in the midst of a couple days where it feels like nothing is going quite right on the family front. Looking to turn things around, I decide to install the kid seat on the back of my wife's bike for our 2 y.o. so we can do the ol' family bike ride (that'll fix it!). In a moment of overzealousness though, I give that over-tight, cheap screw in the back of her bike a turn-too-many with the allen wrench: it's stripped, but maybe salvageable. But what do I do? I think, "I can still get it...." So I jump back in there: cheap screw vs. cheap allen wrench, and I send that screw straight to The Land of No Return. It's never coming out now. Enter Seth and Meat Machine. Now, mind you, I had already been down there the day before - or my wife had - for another bike-related issue (I told you - it was that kind of weekend). So, I limp in there, figuratively speaking, and in my shame I present El Strippo to Seth. What does he do? He doesn't make my feel bad. He doesn't hesitate. Immediately, almost un-questioningly, he throws that bad boy up on the lift. He explains that this is not going to be easy and expresses concern that he'll break the head off the screw and then it's done (the seat is never going on in that case). He tries one expensive hex after another. No dice. Last resort: he busts out the blow torch. "Let's put a little heat on it." And he does, and, like magic, that baby starts to move! With the turning of the screw, hearts lift, hope returns - the screw it out. The day - the family bike ride - is saved. No charge. I headed outside and, literally, the clouds cleared (though I'm not sure I credit Seth with that one). But he and Meat Machine did save the day, no doubt. Great little shop. Friendly helpful guys. Very grateful to them! Thank you!!

    Easy to reserve online. Superb service with friendly and…read moreinformative advice for our day. Great experience with the electric bikes and so much fun.

After telling the young guy I will wait. Tim spoke up "We cannot always fix it on the spot" was uncalled for after I had brought my bike back from last weeks repair job.

I recently purchased a helmet and thought I had already signed up for the welcome discount code. After I completed my order and looked at my receipt, I realized the discount hadn't been applied. My first thought was, "Oh shoot, I forgot to enter the code." That also made me wonder whether I had actually completed the sign-up, so I immediately signed up for the welcome offer. I looked for an option to cancel and reorder my purchase, but there wasn't one available. Since I acted right away, I reached out through the chat to see if the discount could be applied or if there was another solution. Sam responded by email and simply stated that the discount couldn't be applied retroactively. While I understand that companies have policies, I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility or effort to help. I wasn't trying to misuse the promotion--I made an honest mistake and contacted customer service almost immediately after placing my order. Life gets busy, and sometimes things slip through the cracks. I was juggling personal and family responsibilities at the time, and I simply forgot to enter the code before checking out. I was hoping for a little understanding and customer-focused service, especially as someone trying to make my first purchase with the company. Unfortunately, the interaction left me feeling that customer satisfaction wasn't a priority in this situation. A small gesture of goodwill or a more empathetic response would have gone a long way.

Coal City Cycles absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our trip could have been derailed when my son's wheel was damaged during a ride. Robin and his crew rebuilt the wheel and had it ready the very next morning. The workmanship was excellent, and the wheel has been flawless ever since. While we were there, they also fitted my son with a new saddle, and he says it's the most comfortable saddle he's ever ridden. They didn't stop there--they helped another friend with a broken wheel, diagnosed an intermittent electrical contact issue on another friend's e-bike, and even set us up with rental bikes so everyone in our group could keep riding and enjoy the day. The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. Robin and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about keeping people on the trails. They went above and beyond to save our riding trip, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're riding on Vancouver Island, I can't recommend Coal City Cycles highly enough. This is exactly the kind of local bike shop every riding community hopes to have. Five stars all the way!

He patiently taught her and she walked out of there with a fixed tire and beaming smile so excited from that experience.
