I recently bought a used bike with a flat rear tire, and brought it in to get repaired. 15 minutes later I had a new tube installed and he even cleaned off my chain for me. Flat fixes are free according to their website. Tire change was $10. They have new tubes for $8 and used ones for $2! I will be back for any other work on my bike! It rides great now thanks to Second Cycle. They also help the community by keeping their prices low and paying it forward. Awesome shop!

5 Stars - Amazing Service!…read more I came into Tacoma Bike to pick up some new tubes and a shifter cable for my bike. After checking it out, the tech let me know I actually needed a new derailleur. I asked if there was any chance they could install it that same day since I was hoping to ride with my wife the next day. Even though they were just minutes from closing and had other bikes to finish, the tech went above and beyond--he stayed a few minutes late to swap out the derailleur for me since it was a quick job. As a new rider, I really appreciated the extra help and kindness. Huge thanks to the team at Tacoma Bike for taking care of me. I'll definitely be back!

Typical misogynistic bike shop TLDR: Performed adjustments without my permission, didn't even…read moreperform the service I asked for, then spoke to me condescendingly as if I don't know what a bike is. I went in to get my derailleur adjusted for some ghost shifting issues and to bleed my breaks since it had been a few years and I noticed that my rear breaks were feeling spongy and were taking a while to engage. I have a hardtail mountain bike that I like taking out on trails, so I did not want to be dependent upon my front breaks. I was told that they would take a look at my bike and then text me a quote for how much the service would cost before they did any adjustments. They did not text me a quote for service, but instead went ahead and made the adjustments without my permission. When I went to pick up my bike, I was ignored while they helped the men who walked in well after me. When I was finally able to get my bike, I was told that my breads did not need to bleed since they felt "solid" and just needed a little extra pull on the lever. I was then condescendingly told about my front breaks, and to "use this one when you're going downhill too fast and feel scared". Rode my bike around a bit, and the issue with my derailleur is not fixed. This shop is a waste of time and money.

Bottom line: great small business bike shop that has everything you need; from new road/trail bikes…read moreto accessories (chains, helmets, air pumps, attire, etc.). The customer service was also top notch and very welcoming and fast. If you need anything with regards to bikes- make sure you patron this establishment. I definitely will. Venue: it's clean, well appointed, and ergonomic. The only part that may be frustrating is the parking lot where you'll have to compete with the local coffee stand. To me, a minor distraction. The venue was relatively easy to find with Apple/Google Maps. Customer service: fast, knowledgeable, and courteous. It's everything you would want in a business. They want your business and they know how to delivers Service: it was relatively quick for a bike fix (tire). They have all the parts and a back area to work on it. I recommend you calling them prior to visiting for any specific need.

Update 2: Yet another incredible and pleasant experience! After experiencing a huge accident, Mike…read moreand Chris helped me get back on my feet to riding again and triple checked safety! These guys are the BEST!! Update: I inherited a new-to-me older bike and I was met with pleasant experiences on my second time here! I had such a hard time with this bike at home and I was worried about how much it might cost to fix up all these problems in my bike. Luckily Chris was there to help explain everything to me. I am extremely happy about how transparent he was and accommodating to everything I needed done. I thought this was like dropping off a car for a few days, but he addressed all of my concerns in what seemed to be like 15 minutes while answering a handful of phone calls at the same time! This guy is talented and should absolutely be recognized!! I will be doing all my bike stuff in this shop from here on out!! Oh also, I saw they had a basket of training wheels! I was looking for some and settled for some bad generic ones. Having the tools AND the advice here would've saved me much time and money so please consider these professionals for your bikes!! Original review: Super friendly family! Ric Was extremely helpful and very accommodating! I love seeing a variety of bikes inside as well as parts hanging on the wall. Extremely fair pricing! I'm surprised to see how many people know about this store after talking about them here and there. Great people!

I was ready to pay for the work; but not only did they fix it right there and then, they didn't charge me. I now have a new bike AND a new favorite bike shop for my maintenance needs! Yay Trek UP!
