Alan tuned up my 20 year old Trek Mountain bike, fixed a flat tire and lubricated / cleaned every moving part. The bike rides like new and it cost only 85 dollars. Prior to taking my bike in for repair, I thought it was beyond help. No more gear chatter, shifting or braking problems thanks to Alan. I took it in to the shop on a Friday and it was ready on Monday. I couldn't be more satisfied. read more

I called Alan after being given a 2 week wait time from a couple of other places, and he told me to come over that very day. Super nice, kind demeanor, and fast service. I asked for a routine tune-up, and it was smooth as can be. Thanks Alan! read more

I have been to visit Alan a few times now and I have had a great experience every single time. The first time, my roommate and I stopped by to purchase a bicycle and I was able to purchase a secondhand Janis Citizen from Alan. It was in great condition with good quality parts and had just been tuned up and he sold it to us for a very affordable price. I've been riding it to work every weekday since then and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Alan is a really good guy and one day when my bike got a flat, I brought it to him after work and he fixed it up for free. The most recent visit I made to his shop was to get a rear bike rack and commuter trunk installed on my bike. He helped me order the supplies and installed the rack on my bike in less than an hour - he does a great job with his work and is a very helpful, friendly and upstanding person. I'm really happy with my new bike and greatly enjoy commuting to work now with Alan's help. Couldn't say enough great things about this guy. Thank you again Alan! read more

Glad I found Alan thru Yelp. He is such a great guy and provides excellent service. I searched around the area for a tune up on my son's bike and Alan is the most reasonably price, got the bike back in a short time and my son said the ride is much better now. So much better the some of the places I called read more

My husband and I took 3 of our bikes to get repaired with Alan. Not only was he super friendly but super efficient. He kept us informed throughout the whole process and went over and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were 100 percent satisfied. He remembers his customers by name and is always in a cheerful mood. We need to support businesses like this one. We highly recommend taking your business to Alan. He also sells refurbished bicycles so we plan on buying a few more for the rest of our family! read more

I visit my son and his family monthly in Burlingame. I wanted to get his Giant TCR tuned up, and I only had a 24 hr. Turnaround. Both chain rings and cassette were shifting poorly. The bike hadn't been ridden in several years. I had visited another shop in town where upon walking into the shop, nobody greeted or approached me as a new customer. I consider this poor service. I walked out, and did a web search. Alan had stellar reviews so I gave him a try. His shop is small, unconventional, but I don't judge a book by its cover. Alan cleaned up my adjusters, adjusted my derailleurs, and got me back in the saddle. You need cash or PayPal. No credit cards accepted. His rates are very fair. I will use Alan again. read more

Awesome service and extremely reliable, very personable guy. Enjoyed the whole experience. And reasonably priced. Will definitely return when we need our bikes serviced. read more

Alan is a gem! I have an old Specialized bike (same one I've had since middle school) and I've taken it to him 2 times now. My first visit was to get a new tube, he replaced it right in front of me while we chatted (quite enjoyable!!) and I was on my way in 15 minutes. Just this week I paid him a visit to get my front wheel fixed (it was bent). He kept the bike overnight and let me know the next day of a few other things he found, including a cracked rim. Alan quoted me a very fair rate and had it done by the time I was done with work. My bike feels better than ever and I'm looking forward to taking it out tomorrow! Thanks so much, Alan!! read more

I bought a bike from Alan, he was very knowledgeable in answering any questions I had and the bike is great!

Alan is amazing, super nice guy. I so appreciated this interaction I wanted to add a little to the reasonably priced bike, but he even declined that! Honest business! read more

Alan adjusted the brakes on my bike in less than 10 minutes and at a very reasonable price. He is very skillful and I will be going back to him if I have any future problems with my bike. read more

Alan is great! I gave him a challenge and he passed with flying colors... My son has an electric scooter (like a razor scooter) that had a flat on the back tire. I took it to a number of bike shops and they said they couldn't fix it. Alan took on the challenge. It was a complicated repair because he had to take apart the housing of the electric motor and order a custom tube. He had it fixed in a couple of days and it was like the flat never happened! read more

I bought a Peugeot bike here after seeing it on Craigslist. Easy transaction, simple to get there from 101. Not much room to haggle on price, which is fine. I will come back if I need another bike or if I need a tune up. read more

Alan provided us great service! We were sad after our LBS closed down. He was a very nice and knowledgeable fellow! I will come back to him for all servicing for my bike!! read more

I took my kids here to buy used bikes. Alan is the most helpful kind person! He let my kids try numerous bikes before they settled on what they wanted. His prices were very fair. He told us if we had any issues we should come back and he would take care of it. Well, the only issue we had was my son derailing his chain because he didn't know how to properly switch gears. He got things out of alignment and we needed some help. I took the bike back to Alan and he got the bike going again. He didn't charge us even though it was our fault. He showed my son how to switch gears and off we went. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Took my grandfathers bike there for a tune up, it's been sitting in the garage since the 70's, Alan got her running like new with new tires and adjustments to the old school gear settings/set up plus adjustment to get the brakes all good for use. I'd recommend him and go back if the need arises again. read more

I was just getting back on my feet. I wanted a bike for excise and transportation back-up. I met Allen through a mutual friend and met him at his shop ib Burlingame. If you're looking for fancy decorations...this is not your place. If you want a good deal on a great bike..come see Allen. He fit me with a great bike and accessories too. Then he tuned up the bike after I already bought. You won't find a kinder more dedicated to customer sevice guy than Allen! Stop in,say hi..be delighted by his charm! read more

I bought 3 bikes there already. I keep coming back. Really great service, very good prices. Allan is very nice and always wants to give you the best he can. read more

I contacted Alan to have him tune up an e-bike I had recently bought. Alan was responsive, super friendly and knowledgeable. I dropped the bike off Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening the bike was ready to be picked up. Incredibly affordable. I plan on taking my future business back to Alan. read more

Alan was great! Super helpful, friendly and the price was right. Can't ask for anything more. Will definitely come back.

Great experience with Alan. I had a number of bike needs, a tune for my daily commuter, a new bike for my son and I had a bike I just wanted fixed well enough to go camping this summer but not a full tune. Alan took care of all my needs quickly, nicely and more than reasonably priced. He understood exactly what I needed and made a deal on a handshake. Its almost like having a buddy that works on bikes. If you need a bike, check with Alan first, if you need work done he does that well too. read more

Alan is a great guy with a good eye for picking up decent bikes, refurbishing them and selling them at a fair price. Just bought one and will be getting another eventually from Alan. Deserves the five star rating! read more

Alan is a really nice and fair person. His bikes are are tuned to perfection. Like buying a brand new bike off the rack. Newer and older. Road, Mountain, Cruisers and BMX. Got a great little BMX for an extremely fair price. Took a test drive on a Mountain Bike that ran extremely smooth. Thanks for the great service Alan!!!! read more

Hello All, Words cannot describe how amazing, professional, honest, knowledgeable, and friendly Alan is towards his customers. Me being a notice bike rider and l working in the bay area was concerned with finding a honest bicycle shop (bicycle specialist), but it is safe to say that my search is over and have found a wonderful bike GURU. Thanks again Alan for fixing my bike so quickly. read more

I have used Yelp religiously for years, but have not been sufficiently motivated to write a review until now. If I could give Alan more than 5 stars I would. Alan has tuned up our beach cruisers on multiple occasions. The last time I took my daughter's beach cruiser in, he showed me the damage to the rear wheel hub and explained how it just wasn't worth the cost of fixing it. I thanked him for his honesty and went on my way. Lo and behold, Alan calls me the next day and says he has something to show me. Intrigued, I head over to his shop to find out that he had found a way to retool my daughter's bike with old parts from other bikes and make solid again. All of this, for a very small cost. He just couldn't sleep without trying to find a way to make it rideable again. My daughter was ecstatic to say the least. Alan is honest, friendly, fair and fast! If you need a tune up, fix or a new bike, Alan is the man! I can't say enough about him and his service! read more

So helpful and kind!!!! Thank Alan for helping us in such short notice!!!! Will be recommending this service to everyone in The area!

I have purchased bikes from Alan over the years. He is honest, reliable, obviously hard working and his bikes are top notch. 100% recommend him ! read more

Great guy, reasonable prices, and caring. He's saving our world -- one bike at a time!!

I recently purchased a new road-bike and was having some issues with my derailleur which I thought I could fix myself. Things went sideways fast and found myself with an extremely noisy and almost unusable bike. I messaged Alan in the morning and get a response extremely fast. He was beyond friendly and helped me get my bike back on the road quickly and at a fair price. I'll definitely be heading back to Alan for all my biking needs. read more

While assembling a new bike on my own, I had a few tweaks that I needed to get done at a shop. I stopped by Alan's place for the adjustments and what I found was a dude who was honest, down to earth, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. His shop may not flash the latest and greatest bells and whistles, but he knows exactly how to get the job done and communicates very well. read more

Alan is very friendly and professional. He was able to get my bike in tip top shape after it was in storage for over 2 years. He had it ready the next day. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to tune up their bikes. read more

Alan is a gem in the heart of Burlingame. I had my bike recently tuned up here and he did such an awesome job. Price was very reasonable and since he specializes in this type of work, you can rest assure that your bike is given the TLC that it needs. Thanks again Alan and see you on the next tune up! read more

Alan is super friendly and has an unusual passion for bikes. My electric bike got flat tire and wasn't an easy fix due to its complex design. Thanks to Alan it's back and running again. read more

Great experience with Alan. Able to repair and tune up my child's bike in a reasonable time frame and cost. Got another bike for my older child and I--both work well and was reasonably priced. read more

A friend sent me to Al and I think I found the most honest, professional, easy going, good man in the bicycle industry. His prices are fair, his work is flawless, hours of operation are the best (12pm to 10pm, so cool to come and visit him after work and after rush hours), fixing and selling bikes in all sizes, and his advices are magic. He made my all family riding a bike. Thanks mate! read more

We live a drive away from Alan, but anytime we need something with our bike we go straight to Alan. he know bike, care about pepole

Just bought a new bike and was going to assemble it myself until I realized I was missing some tools. I called Alan inquiring to have my bike assembled. He told me to come by and drop it off. I went to his shop right after and within two hours Alan was already texting me that the bike was finished. Great guy, super accommodating, reasonable pricing! read more

This is an A-1 shop with an A-1 bike guy who goes out of his way to make his customers MORE than happy! He's fair, he's fun. He's got a great attitude about his work! Highly recommend! read more

Easily a 5 star review. Alan is extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me an honest assessment of an old hand-me-down road bike, determined that it was worth keeping, and then gave me a very reasonable estimate on the spot for a tune up. What was most impressive is that he then turned around the tune up ahead of schedule and at less than the estimated cost! I've never seen a mechanic do that. I would absolutely recommend Alan to anyone who needs bike repair/maintenance! read more

Alan Gorman is the greatest bike shop I have ever visited in US. He cares for his customers so much, is genuinely interested in repairing bikes much more than running a profitable business! I have visited him a couple of times because whenever I had problems with my second hand bike, he never fails to not only fix it but brighten my day! Strongly recommend him as my trusted bike specialist and friend and would give him the best recommendation I can ever give on yelp. read more
