    Alan is amazing and knows how to do his job . I would be back if anything happens to my bikes.

    I don't normally write reviews on Yelp but I had to for this one. He's so nice!! I'm a beginner, I haven't biked in years and wanted to start again just to get moving and to have a new hobby. I was looking for a used hybrid bike that fit my needs and the one he pulled out ended up being the perfect size and had everything I was looking for! It was also still in amazing condition. He let me try it as well in the parking lot and showed me how to take off the tires and showed me basic things I needed to know about the bike and how to use it. He was very kind, knowledgeable about the bike and very helpful. I plan on going to him for bike repairs as well. Out of all the bike places I went to that day, I went to 4, he was the most helpful one. I have already recommend him to a few people and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future!

    Super great customer service

    Found Alan via a Facebook Marketplace listing and was stunned by his Yelp ratings so decided to drop by and look at used bikes. His 5 star rating is well-deserved. I didn't feel any pressure to buy, didn't feel rushed to make a decision, and he was honest when he thought a bike might not be a good fit for me since I'm petite (rather than just try and push for a quick sale). Alan sounds like he knows his stuff and was overall really pleasant to chat with. I also like knowing that I'm buying used from someone reliable who will stand by the sale if something is wrong with it after I bring it home. :) Excited to take my bike out for a spin sometime soon!

    Bars replaced and rewrapped, brake/shifter routing replaced, and brakes bled

    Do you buy used road bikes?

    Yes.

    Hi, I have a bike that needs a hydraulic brake bleed. Do you offer that service? If so, could you please share a quote? Thanks!

    Hi. Yes we do. It is $75 for both brakes.

    If I drop off my new bike for assembly, how does it take to complete? The bike is half assembled in a box.

    Hi. Really backed up right now so it would be about seven days before you get back.

    I have a new bike and it's partially assembled, only need to complete installing the front wheel, brake, seat and paddles. How much would this typically cost?

    $140. Thanks.

    Hi, I was wondering if you're able to install training wheels on a kids bike (I have the training wheels and the bike), and if so, how much it would cost? Thank you!

    May I come by Saturday and see what you have for sale?

    No problem. 2pm to 5pm. Thanks

    Ugh, I wish I liked this bike store, they are in fact the closest Specialized store nearest to me…read more I first came here when I was shopping for a bike, as I was new to cycling, I wasn't looking to buy the most expensive bike in the store, but that didn't stop them from trying! I ended up purchasing a Specialized bike, but not from this store. I thought I would still come here and buy accessories and have my bike serviced here, but the employees here don't really care about their customers or customer service. On one occasion I came in to buy shoes, but they didn't carry my size. They told me that I would need to pay for the shoes and if they didn't fit, to bad so sad! How would I know if they would fit, if I can't try them on?!?!? Just take your business elsewhere. There are several stores around they Peninsula that sell and service Specialized bikes!

    Walked into Cognition Cyclery expecting a standard tune-up and left feeling like I didn't belong. I…read morewas told--loudly--that they "only work on Specialized bikes," and anything else they can't do because of the parts. Had they taken the time to talk to me about switching parts, I would've easily been persuaded. I'm also a regular customer at the store. The fact that I was just treated like that saddens me. They simply don't care. That's fine if it's your business model, but the delivery was unnecessarily dismissive and came off as elitist. Not everyone rides a top-tier brand, and that shouldn't mean being treated like you're wasting their time. I was prepared to spend a few hundred dollars on a tune up and more for repairing my crumbling wheel, but clearly that wasn't the issue--the brand of my bike was. There are plenty of shops that value customers regardless of what they ride. I'll be taking my business to one of them. Note: I found a better bike shop that will support all bikes and treat you well well providing their service. You can avoid the snobbery of Cognition cycle. Go to Woodside Bike Shop. They're very friendly, very efficient, reasonably priced and they do great work.

    I bought my Sirrus in 2010 and I'm guilty of not doing any proper maintenance since then (grimace)…read more There are a handful of bike shops in the city but traffic and parking have prevented me from doing so. I am so GLAD to have found this location by the powers of Google as it's very close to where I live and traffic/parking will never be an issue. Paige & Kevin are awesome guys, and I received great tips for keeping my bike in tip-top shape. I hopped on the bike the moment I got home and took it for a mini test ride around my driveway and I could instantly feel the difference from before. It's a brand-new bike all around!!! Super thanks to you all!

    As a SSF resident and an owner of several Specialized bikes, I was stoked to find they have opened…read morean authorized service and sales shop so close by. Recently, I've had 2 separate experiences within a week a week of each other. The first one, I was selling a bike on CL. A buyer living in Colorado asked if I could ship the bike and I was reluctant to do it. I suggested he call Specialized Bay Area to see if they can handle the packing and shipping of the bike, basically taking liability to get it shipped there. The transaction worked out perfectly where the buyer dealt directly with SBA on the shipping. Buyer Venmo'd me payment and received his bike in 3 days! Kudos to SBA for offering this service! The second experience. I was gonna go for a ride on the Levo this morning. Found a broken spoke. I texted the SBA and explained my problem, gave them a copy of my registration of the Roval wheels, and they said to drop it off any time. I stopped in @ 4pm on a Friday thinking to pick it up next week. One of the managers, Yoav replaced it on the spot, trued the wheel, lubed all the nipples, installed factory tubeless tape, all within 10 minutes! Best of all, the spoke repair was covered under warranty! Actually, the best of all was the staff were friendly and personable. :-) My bike was down for only a few hours! By far, the best experience I have had with a bike shop. I hope they stick around because I want I work here when I retire. Specialized for life!
