Hands down the best place I've found to buy affordable and good quality used bikes! I've bought three bikes from Alan over the past five years, and I really put mileage on there. Alan is not only friend and knowledgeable, but he'll give it to you straight. The last bike I bought, I was looking for something really specific; he told me to keep calling back every week or two, to drop in to see if anything would work; he never tried to sell me on something I wasn't sure about. In the end, I got the perfect bike! read more

I found Alan using yelp and am happy I was able to do so. Having recently bought a bicycle online, I needed someone to help me assemble it. Alan was that guy - not only did he do an excellent job assembling the bicycle, but also he did it quickly and cost effectively. His professionalism and friendliness make Alan my go-to bicycle expert. read more

We are very grateful to Alan for doing such a great job fixing our sons bike! Great service, we are very pleased!

My used hybrid bike had never been tuned up before, and it was showing it. I called a few other bike shops, which all had a long wait time, and were going to charge me an arm and a leg. Happy to have found Alan on Yelp. The reviews are legit. Alan is super friendly and knowledgeable, and he tuned my bike up at a fair price in less than 24 hours. He also has an assortment of bikes and accessories for sale. I ended up picking up a used Schwinn trainer from him for cheap! read more

Alan is fantastic and very reasonably priced. I thought about going to Talbots or Summit but read the reviews about Alan on yelp and tried him out. I was not disappointed. He had convenient hours, good prices and great service. And he's a really nice amiable guy which makes it all the better. I will ow take all my families' bikes here for servicing. read more

I found Alan on Yelp and it showed good reviews, and now that I've been a client, I'd like to add my voice! Alan is a pleasure to work with. He's very helpful, reliable and available. And of course, he's really good at what he does. What brought me in was a mundane issue; a flat tube. I met up with Alan for the first time and he impressed me with his generosity, knowledge and skill. That lead me to bring another bike of mine, then another. Through our relationship, Alan was great at communicating, at being available on short notice, with fair prices and at doing a great damn job. Alan is also a great person to have a conversation with. Highly recommended! read more

Found Alan's shop on Yelp. I needed a tune-up for my Trek road bike since the shifting was getting sloppy and didn't want to take it to just any shop. I have a SRAM Red groupset on the bike, which has been difficult to tune well in the past. Based on the other positive reviews, I took the bike to Alan. He took a look at the bike and diagnosed that I also needed a new chain. He texted to quote the price and make sure I was ok with the proposed repairs and time frame. When I picked it up, he had me ride it around and made a few more adjustments to make sure it was right. He did a great job at a good price. I'll bring this bike and others to him in the future. Highly recommend! read more

This guy is really fantastic. Honest and really efficient. Great service, great items and excellent value. This is the only place to go.

Stopped by to show Alan two bikes that needed work. He was super busy with repairs and said it would be at least 2 weeks to work on my bikes. One retrofit I wanted (mini v-brakes) was a modification he didn't have experience with. So he referred me to another local bike shop who had the mini brakes! Thanks, Alan!!! read more

I needed my bike tires filled but the tire valve was one I've never dealt with before. I showed it to Alan and he filled my tires and repaired the valve I had damaged the same day. He also threw in the attachment for the tire valve so I can fill the tires on my own now. Alan's prices were very reasonable, and his service was impeccable. It's hard finding a business owner who is honest and reliable. I found one for my bikes and will be dealing with Alan exclusively whenever I have issues with any of my bikes. Thanks Alan! read more

I was having some problems with squealing brakes, and I was having trouble finding a local bike shop that would still be open by the time I came home from work. A quick search on Yelp showed me that Alan Gorman is open late! I gave him a call, and he immediately answered the phone. 15 minutes later, I was there, and he was working on my bike. I had a lot of fun chatting with him while I was there, learning about various techniques to fix brakes and checking out an interesting bamboo bike he had in his shop. After spending some time tinkering around with my brakes, Alan managed to get rid of the squealing! He warned me, however, that my rims were fairly worn out, and there was a good chance that the brakes might start squealing again in the near future. Satisfied with his work as it was, I asked how much I owed him. He responded that there was no charge -- just come back in the future for my future bike needs. I certainly will! read more

Alan is awesome. He knows his steps and is always willing to help.

We have not used our bikes for a few years. Bikes needed a tuneup Tires were flat spider webs all over the place. We brought all 3 bikes to Alan. Within 2 days Alan called that all 3 bikes were ready for pickup. They looked good and they ride like they are brand new. Alan does excellence work and the prices were very reasonable. Will be Definitely bringing the bikes in the future for services read more

Helped me out with a Joovy, jogging stroller. Very warm reception and extremely courteous. Responded quickly to emails. Thanks, Alan!

I brought my bike in to Alan for a quick tune up. Alan was very knowledgeable and personable. Had bike back to me in two days. Very reasonable prices as well read more

Great guy who is knowledgeable and generous. Went in to fix a flat and he also made other adjustments... for no additional cost! This guy just loves bikes. - J +S read more

I was looking for an inexpensive but reliable bike to use as a commuter for college. I looked at everything from brand new Trek bikes, to Target bikes, and scoured the deepest depths of Craigslist. Alas, on a very determined search for bike shops in the area I found Mr. Alan Gorman. It's not so much of a shop as it is a hidden treasure. Alan is a great, genuine guy who has extensive knowledge and will definitely give you a great bargain. The bike I bought was a very clean Peugot road bike that he finished working on just minutes before I got there. He even gave me 2 free LED lights for the bike, just because. All for $140. I'm so happy about my purchase that I have already told about 5 of my friends to check him out for any type of bike service/need. You definitely cannot go wrong. P.S.- He also told me that should anything go wrong, or should the bike need a tune up, to just bring it back to him and he will work on it. Amazing find. read more

Excellent experience. Alan is a rarity in the area. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. His shop is not just for new and expensive bikes, which I really appreciated. I was looking for a new derailleur for my ~45 year old bike, but was getting lost on the internet trying to find something compatible. I found Alan on yelp and came down to get some help. As it turned out Alan had a derailleur that would work for my bike and gave it to me for a really fair price. He also gave me some advice on installing it and now my bike is ready to go. Thanks Alan! read more

Guys like Alan are a dying breed. Once you meet him you will know what I mean. As an avid cycler on a budget, I have known him for years and he is my first go to guy for all things bike. If you have spent time looking for a used but sturdy and reliable bicycle, you should save yourself some time and check his inventory regularly. Over the past 7 years I have been able to supply my boys with the perfect bike for their needs and size. I just keep trading up and the bikes are always well tuned. I have also relied on him to do some difficult upgrades on my bikes that I can't do myself. And his price was a Fraction of what the storefront shops charge. REALLY - if you are shopping bikes on Craigslist or need a tune up (and live close to millbrae). save yourself the time and gas money and visit Alan first. read more

Alan is knowledgeable, professional, and effective. Things didn't go right the first time on my unusual bike and he worked hard to make sure it was perfect and I was totally satisfied. He deserves his outstanding rating. read more

Alan is super easy to do business with! My partner and I came in to just take a look at beginner bikes or anything we can get our hands on. It's the start of Spring so we decided to take on a new hobby. Looked for local shops around the area on a Sunday afternoon and Alan's shop was the only one open passed 5pm so we decided to check it out. We walked in and Alan welcomed us in to take a look around. Keep in mind, you may have to have some knowledge on what you're already looking for (though we walked in blindly) and kind of went by instinct. You can try any and all the bikes you want (these are all used bikes for sale) and some of them are in pretty good condition. Spent maybe half an hour or 45 minutes here and Alan was helpful the entire time, he also let us do our own thing so we can ride around and "test drive" the bikes. After trying out a few we came home with 2 bikes. Alan gave us a great deal and he even said if there's any problems we can always bring it back, no receipt needed! He'll also buy the bike back if you eventually don't want it for some reason. What a great way to do business! Someone you can definitely trust and always come back to without doubt. Highly recommend Alan's store of used bikes if you don't want to spend too much money on a new fancy bike. read more

Alan performed a "tune-up" on each of our three old bicycles. He did so promptly, efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Added to his good work is his charming Irish wit and personality. We were pleased with his services, and would call on him again. John C. read more

We bought a bike trainer from Alan. He was very patient and not only he has given us a great deal but he has given us a few free parts. I'll use him in the future for all my bike repairs. read more

I just got my bike fixed by Alan. It was pleasure to work with him. I have very terrible bike to work with. He needed to fix gears and breaks. Eventually, he changed the front gears with handle without any extra charge. I'm so grateful that I found him. He deserves more customers. read more

Alan is a great guy. He had my bike done way faster than I thought and in better condition for sure. It is a hand me down bike and he's offered to do a trade in which I'm surely interested in. He even tried to lend me a helmet because I didn't have one. Visit Alan for sure, it's worth it. read more

I went to Alan with a special request for a bicycle my wife dreamed up involving a special seat, saddle bags, and a few other things. Alan got inventive with how he satisfied her requests, my wife loves the bike, and it was all done for a very reasonable price. Alan is a great guy, an honest guy, and I highly recommend you do business with him. And his funny Irish accent adds an element of fun to every transaction! read more

Alan is the man!! I highly recommend using his services, he finished fast and his prices are unbeatable. He is extremely nice and flexible to fit your schedule. Support a small business and go see Alan!! read more

Alan has great communication and is very easy to reach when I have questions about my bike. He is very accommodating and makes sure you are happy with your bike weeks after bringing it to him. read more

Alan is awesome! he is honest and straight forward. Found him on yelp and went to see if this cruiser I picked up was worth fixing, he took it apart, checked it out and told me my options. I decided it wast worth it, so he gave it back and didn't charge me anything for his time. He even helped me adjust my breaks on my other bike. I will definitely be brining my bikes back to him in the future! read more

I had the most amazing customer service experience with Alan. I have an old city commuter bike that I needed to get fixed up for commuting - brakes, new handle bar grips, check the gears, new tires etc. He responded right away to my inquiry and suggested I bring it in. His extremely convenient hours made it easy for me. As it turned out, all I needed was some new tubes, new grips, and a few tweaks and I was good to go! -- No overcharges here --- Also, my old helmet was falling apart and he gave me one someone didn't need any more at no charge! He did the work in a day or two and was very low cost. And I'll add, he's just a very friendly person! Hands down, I totally trust Alan and would recommend him to anyone who wants very competent work with really good pricing done on time! read more

Great, honest guy. Dont get ripped off on craigslist. Call Alan. Alan knows his stuff. He's got an awesome Irish accent. He's sells bikes. He fixes bikes. read more

I purchased my bike from Alan and loved it. I came to him another time for a repair. Instead of paying $100 to my campus bike shop and waiting weeks, Alan repaired my bike and had it ready the next day for a great price. On top of that, he is very personable guy and is running a very honest business. I highly recommend Alan! read more

I love this bike shop. I was looking for an inexpensive bike to get to work and back, and after searching the prices at the local bike shops saw Alan's Yelp reviews and called him up. He listened to my requirements and price, and then asked me about my height and weight, and then sent me a picture of a bike he had that he felt might suit me. It was just what I was after, and at a price I could afford. I then got a lift with a friend over to the shop, met Alan, and test rode the bike and was on my way in under half-an-hour. Alan was not only helpful and friendly, but also told me to come by if I experienced any problems with the bike and made the whole thing simple and straight forward. This is a great place for anyone on a budget and looking for great customer service and advice. Thanks Alan. read more

Can't beat Alan! Professional, good prices and quick turn around! I will be going back for sure and making the recommendation to my friends. read more

Great guy, great service, very knowledgeable and friendly. So humble he wouldn't accept a tip! If you need something fixed and are looking for someone you can trust and who won't want your first-born in return, go see Alan! read more

Alan was so great to work with. I brought my 20 year old bike in because it really needed a tune-up and the gears were not shifting properly. It was on a Saturday afternoon and pretty busy. He texted me with a quote by Saturday night and had the work completed by Monday afternoon. Price was very reasonable and the bike works great. I'll definitely be bringing my other bikes in when they need work and will be recommending him to my friends. read more

5 stars all around! Alan is a pleasant guy and does great work. Got my bike tuned up for $60, and my daughters for $40. Both bikes are running perfectly and oh so smooth. He accepts cash payments and can have your bike done the same day. read more

My trusty bike needed a tune up and Alan had great reviews so I decided to have him do the work. He has really quick turnaround times compared to other larger bike shops/stores and he does really excellent work. If you find yourself in need of any bike repair Alan is your man! read more

Alan was able to help me with a front brake cable that had come out during shipping. His price was very reasonable. Besides that, he also trued my front wheel. If you are in the bay area, and you are in need of some repairs, I highly recommend him. read more
