Was prepping my bike for a ride on this beautiful saturday, when I noticed a broken spoke. Was…read morehoping to get it fixed in time to be able to ride today and gave Vic a call and he said he could get it done. Brought my bike in when he opened and he had it done in 2 hours.

I like to support and mom & pop store. Victor seems friendly. I've had a bike fixed here years ago…read more My son and I dropped off his bicycle to fix the brakes last Wednesday. I wrote my cell phone on his notebook to call me for an estimate. I did not hear from him until I called Friday. He said he had 3 people at the store but will call on that day. He did not. I called on Saturday to check on the bicycle. He said he'll call me on the same day which he did. The bicycle was ready for pickup on that day for $60. If you are not in a hurry, I guess this place is fine. But if you care about letting your "yes" be "yes" & your "no" be "no", there are other bicycle shops out there.

Didn't use Doug's Service the first time, but kept his number for future repairs. Yesterday was the…read morefuture! Doug came out and took care of putting a new rear tire on my Eunorau Flash. He was super responsive when I reached out, on time (early, actually) when he got here, and epically knowledgeable and efficient as he worked. Doug is also generous: he offered a free tire and tube since I hadn't gotten mine yet. I ended up getting my own, but his offer showed me the kind of human he is. Doug also offered lots of advice about brakes, tires, and all things ebike related. He knows his stuff. Before he came out, I talked to a colleague of his. A competitor, if you look at it that way. Adam in Alameda said Doug is awesome. He is right. Doug is awesome. Thanks, Doug - I'll be reaching out for those new brakes soon!

I told them that I had a 25-year-old bike that needed a new tire and inner tube, plus a new brake. They gave me an estimate which seemed quite reasonable and didn't try to upsell me on anything like buying an entirely new bike The bike was fixed as promised and I was very happy to use them. They seemed very sincere and they're just trying to make a few bucks while they are in school. I highly recommend that you give them a try if you have some idea what you want and don't want to spend too much money on fixing up your bike.

These guys are so awesome. They really know their stuff…read more I've heard that they know how to build wheels from scratch, which is a lost art. I went in there for a very obscure part and they managed to find it with like three minutes until closing time. It was this washer that is part of my front fork assembly, one of those washers that keeps the wheel from falling out even if the skewer comes undone. Anyway, they had it, they gave it to me for free, and it just made me realize that places like this are amazing and rare and we should definitely support them. So I do! And so should you. Next time I'll buy something that cost more than $0... (I did throw some money into the tip jar)

Amazing experience…read more I decided to move on from my non-motorized cargo bike to one that could give me a little help. I stopped by the Alameda location and they said 'here ya go" and gave me the Mundo I was interested in for a test ride around the island. I know, no hills, but... I went home to mull it over - it was a big purchase decision - and called back to confirm some stuff with the owner. Specifically I wanted it boxed and not yet assembled, not having the space yet untili I could get rid of my old one. Vivee offered to bring it to my place in Oakland, which was a huge help! She showed up in her classic old pickup truck and helped unload it. I tried to pay her through PayPal but I couldn't get it to go through. She said no problem, I think I may have given her a token deposit, she said swing by in a few days and settle up. They were really good to me with a couple of accessories for the bike, too. This was my first experience with them. I'm happy to have this shop as a local resource.

Pains my heart to give any 1 star review for small businesses…read more But I ordered a Veloric folding bike on 3/17 so I can reduce use of my car. Especially with gas prices. I also live in Walnut Creek and decided to go with a more "local" (used to live in Alameda) shop. Originally I was going to go for an Letric bike, but got convinced to go for the Veloric. So Vivee was nice enough to let me test ride one that was in the shop for service and I decided to buy one, but they didn't have any in stock. She asked if I can use Zelle and I wanted to use card, but she said she would face a 3.5% fee. Ok sure. We also bonded over tennis as well since my brother played and her kids play it and she was a hitting partner, which we found funny. We go over the options on what the bike looks like, what options I wanted and add-ons. I got a date of mid-April, probably more on the early end for me to pick up including assembly and shipping. Veloric would take 3-10 days to ship (from their site for direct to consumer) and then it would take time to assemble. So I presumed, ok, maybe it's quick and coming early. I'll call! I text Vivee on March 20 and she said she would check Monday when she got back. I didn't see a response. So I text back on Monday to check. No response. I call the shop (no response). I text again (no response). It's now 4/7 and yes I called and left a message on the phone and text. So the lack of response + Zelle payment + reviews I didn't read up here = panic. I decided to go and call Veloric to see what's happening. Veloric told me to try to work it out and confirmed there was a fold 1 that was delivered, but they couldn't confirm this was mine. Vivee did eventually answer the phone on 4/9, but said she was waiting on the shipment and said that she ordered a pallet and blamed the tariffs for the delay. So I decide to go in 4/23 when my bike was supposed to be there, but it turns out it wasn't. She told me she was ordering a pallet and she would install my bike first. She also said it was difficult to talk to Veloric's customer service team since there were trade shows. Turns out she lied. I had been in contact with Veloric's customer service team since March because I read some of the reviews and there was a Reddit post on them buying a bike there with a few other horror stories on people getting repairs and either never getting them done and having to pay upfront. Veloric told me they had not gotten an order from Westside Joe's since March 16 and I had come in on March 17 to order my bike. I truly wanted to support a woman owned minority business in my hometown of Alameda. But unfortunately, they are unable to be transparent on ETAs to the point where the manufacturer had to check for me and now I have to dispute with my bank. I've also posted my story to Alameda Peeps, and it looks like there are more horror stories. Moral of the story: It's great to shop local, but please be careful on who you chose to do business with.
