I took in 2 multi-gear bikes for tune-ups since they had been sitting for over 2 years. Jennifer was friendly and kept me informed as the work progressed. When I picked up the bikes 5 days later, they both looked almost brand new! Rust had been removed, they were shiny, and work great! The final cost was as expected. I would definitely recommend Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe for all of your bicycle needs read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

My go-to bike shop in SD. Here's why: - I purchased a used bike at the shop that my daughter loved - after purchase, I noticed that there was an issue with the bike that needed a repair and they addressed the issue immediately for free I've gotten my bike fixed here; fast high-quality work - kind, no BS approach to customer service read more

I own a 90s bike with narrow aluminum wheels. I ran over a rock and it bent my wheels a bit. I needed it to be trued out. Brought it into the shop and Jennifier took my bike. Very reasonable pricing and quick turn around. Got a call the following day from Jennifer that my bike was ready for pick up. They also found a broken spoke while truing the wheel. I asked how much for the repair and they said it was already covered and done. Fantastic!! Jennifer (owner) and Josh (mechanic) did a great job on my bike and turned it around very quickly. Couldn't be anymore happier. I highly recommend them for reasonable pricing and friendly services. read more

Super nice guy helped me out. Was pretty honest about the services and pricing was fair. They did a good job.

I brought my bike in for a tune up...not knowing how much they'd charge. The price was fair and they even had my bike done a day earlier than originally stated. I'm extremely happy with their service. read more

this morning i decided to fix the rear wheel of my Giant Cypress that i had bought at the swapmeet and had it gone thru in Hillcrest. it had a flat tire and a broken spoke seemed to be th culprit. since i live near trk and they had heklped me before, i called first to get an idea of cost. i was told $37 and up. not tvery excited i brought it in, wheel only. Nathan at the service explained to me the $37 was for the spoke itself, but the labor to install it and re-tension the wheel brought the total to $71. i explained that it wouldn't work for me and called "Ye Old Bicycle Shop" on University ave. in San Diego. Jennifer quoted me $1.50 for the spoke and $25 for the install plus the re-tensioning. i double checked to make sure that included all the labor necessary to fix it and she confirmed it. but she said tomorrow they were closing for ten days and i should rush it in if i wanted it done today! 1/2 hr. later i arrived, within 10 mins. it was done! i brought it home and installed to check how true the wheel came out...it was perfect! read more

Great service/expertise from Josh the mechanic! Highly recommended! If you have any issues with your bike go see this bike shop.

Rare local gem. Great friendly service, reasonable prices, old school bike shop. highly recommend!

The service is the best. They are so helpful and can work on your bike very cheaply. I couldn't recommend this place enough--I couldn't!

I brought my e-bike in for rotor and pad replacement. Labor prices were actually fair compared to most bike shops that gouge you an all aspects of service from parts to extremely high labor prices- Does Trek bike repair ring a bell? Jenifer the front person was courteous and called me to let me know when the bike was ready which was completed quickly. She's great ! can't recommend the shop enough I just wish they did car repairs. They are my new go to bike shop. JL read more

Other than parking, this is a great place for bike repairs and tune ups. They are knowledgeable and the service is done quickly.

This is perhaps my favorite bicycle shop ever! I have shopped so many bike shops over the years, and even with my extensive experience on a bike I am almost always made to feel like I don't know anything compared to the gear-guys who work there. So much condescension from the bike community. WHY? NOT SO at Ye Olde Bicycle Shop. They treat you with respect; they treat you with honesty; they treat you like friends. I Love going here for all my bike needs. Prices are fantastic. The service is exceptional. The owners are super friendly. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

Service is unmatched. They are so incredibly helpful and can work on your bike for a very affordable price. Couldn't recommend this place any more! read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - Josh finished tensioning and truing the wheel. - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm a big boy and have a big boy bike. After not taking out my big boy bike in over a year, I was in dire need of a tune up. Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe is the closest to me, and I was wondering if they were good enough to take care of my bike. Unlike other places, their prices are dirt cheap AND have a fast turn-around time. I brought it in, and two days later it was ready. Had a full tune up for $70. I was a bit of an eager beaver, so I took it out the next week after it's first ride and added wayyyy too much air. So I had a flat, but they turned it around in a day when I brought it in! These folks are great. Would hope they continue to keep doing what they do. read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - Storefront with my Dolemite. - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

I took my electric bike with 20" x 4" tires. I brought in the tube and additional liners. The staff was extremely welcoming and straightforward. The work was done promptly and at a very reasonable price. I've tried Pedal Pushers on El Cajon and I will now take all my business to Ye Olde. The electric bike market is growing, it's important to adapt to that market. Ye Olde has adapted, other local bike shops have not. read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - Large ebike tire - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my new bicycle shop! Went in to have the tubes on my old bike replaced. I started talking with the sweet lady at the front and told her I can never find a good bike because I'm short and I'm scared to fall off a tall bike. She points out 2 bikes that may work for me but I was short on time so I leave but come back 2 days later and buy one of the bikes she suggested because it really is the perfect fit!! They know their stuff here! She also mentioned they have $70 tune ups! The cheapest I found after calling at least 3 shops was $100. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Great service. Fast, friendly , and offers good advice. I will definitely go back for bicycle service and parts.

Came here this morning? Super helpful, knowledgeable and super friendly! I didn't find what I was looking for but they gave me recommendations and helped me what size of bike I needed and what kind of bike as well! Thank you kindly Alma read more

Took a bike I'd been rehabbing to them to finish installing some components and tune. They were fast, friendly, and very reasonable in their cost. Excellent service and work all around. read more

This place is a gem. I've been coming here for over 10 years ever since I discovered them. Good bike shops are like dentists and car mechanics. It takes a while to find a good one, references are everything, and you take a leap of faith as the customer. Jennifer and her son run an honest and down-to-earth operation. I have never bought a bike from them, but I am pretty sure they offer some of the best rates in town on service and shop time. This is based off my experience consulting different shops in the city. This place won't charge you more just because you have a higher-end bike/parts. For some background, I have been a DIY mechanic and rider of over 15 years. Every once in a while I need to go into a local bike shop (mainly for small parts, a special tool, or to have a second set of eyes on something). I'm fairly familiar with the bike landscape in San Diego. Having worked for the nation's largest retail bike chain before it went under, I know how hard it can be to operate a bike store and be successful. YOBS caters to the scrappy veteran biker and bike nut - all the way to the first time buyer. Because their business model is built around secondhand bikes, I believe this has helped their mechanics build a great knowledge base and expertise. (They have a small selection of new, but in my opinion, your dollar goes farther with their "certified pre-owned") An experience of honesty and integrity: I brought a wheelset in that I thought needed some service, but Josh turned me away! He would not take my wheel and charge me for something I didn't need. read more

Super nice people. Definitely will give them all my business and recommend them. Not a fancy place but honest and hardworking people there. They have some great bikes to sell too. I went in for repairs and the service was extraordinary. read more

This review is well overdue but still valid!! I LOVE THIS PLACE. If you need a bike or repair, look no further, this place is for you! The friendliest staff, great service, and a wide selection of bikes. I got a used bike from here and now I'm biking all over the place! I'm so happy with my purchase!! read more

My son manages to find every thorn in the road and is constantly getting flats on his e-bike. I wanted to find a regular place for repairs at a reasonable price until he learns to do it himself. I couldn't be happier with the service we received here. Very friendly and great communication. The repair was done quickly at an excellent price; much more reasonable than I've gotten elsewhere. They even had suggestions to help mitigate the thorn issue, which they'll try next time. I'm sure another flat is coming soon, and you can be sure I'll return to this great local business! Thank you, Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe! read more

These folks are super friendly and helpful, and their prices really can't be best. I dropped my bike off for a gear adjustment and chain replacement, and it was ready the same day and only cost $25!!!! Could not recommend more. read more

I was referred to this establishment by a good friend who only had praise for this shop. So even though they were located in the opposite part of town, I did not hesitate to drop off 3 bikes that needed a tune up. I m in Clairemont, so it s a little hop over. Josh and his mom are the ones taking care of checking people's bikes in and out. Being from Guam, they showed the island spirit right away. They were very welcoming and they let me know that they were swamped with bikes. The wait at that time for the work to be completed would be about 3 weeks. I was a bit shocked but these are covid times... I m glad to know people are getting their bikes and getting some exercices. I don't know about you, but even though it s a bit of a long completion time, any business with such a backlog is only a very good sign that people are fully trusting in their work. So, I didn't hesitate. I got my receipts and left. A few weeks later, I called to check on the progress of the work. Josh told me that they have called me before but couldn't not reach me. I didn't answer thinking those were random solicitors. Anyhow, I picked up the bikes, the next day. I checked the works and it s outstanding. Their work ethics is awesome and they are very committed to their customers. So, people, .... this shop is a real Jem. They are very reasonable in their prices and outstanding in their work. If you re not from that part of town, give them a chance. It s completely worth the drive. Hafa aday! read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - Josh and his mom! Our island superstars... - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely amazing service for a local family owned shop. Stopped by to get new tubes for an old bike we took to burning man, dropped it off and it was ready within 30 minutes. If you've been to the playa you know how that dust is corrosive and absolutely destroys everything in its path. Josh was so fast and friendly! We ended up getting our scooter fixed with new tubes too and stocked up on all the extras! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

My favorite place for bike repairs. They treat you like family. Prices are reasonable too.

Wow amazing service, people, prices and time! Bring your bike and they'll take care of you for very minimal price so I suggest you give them huge tip! Recommend for everyone!!! Way to go ! read more

I keep getting amazed by the service I receive from this business! I took my 1987 Peugeot in for a tuneup and wow it rides as good as when it was new. I get a better ride than my carbon frame road bike. Josh left the gears right on point, I am a customer for life. read more

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe - 1987 Peugeot on a 22 mile ride! Josh fine tuned it and cleaned it up, rides and looks great! - Bikes Near Me - San Diego, California

I had purchased some new bikes, but had some issues adjusting the brakes. I found Ye Old Bicycle Shoppe through Yelp! and was extremely glad that I did. I was impressed with the business after reading through the reviews and took two bikes in for brake adjustments and just general bike check-ups even though they were new. I spoke with Jennifer while dropping off the bikes and she is not only nice, but very personable as well. She explained that they were swamped with the number of bikes they had backlogged due to the increased biking activities due to the pandemic. I picked up the bikes about a week later and was surprised by the price which was more than reasonable. I took another bike into the shop for the same work, plus a little issue that I caused when thinking that I could adjust the brakes myself. She explained that there was a back-up on bike parts, so she said if I could find the part, I can bring it in, and they can do the installation. Josh gave me some brake caliper recommendations so that I could do the legwork and buy the part which I happily did. Took the part in, bike was repaired, tuned up, and she held onto the bike for me while we were on vacation. Ye Olde Bike Shoppe is the place to go to get your bike repaired whether new or olde :). Thank you, Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe, Jennifer, Josh, and the rest of the staff! read more
