My 4yr old Specialized Cirrus X 5.0 needed a new chain after a ride. Jeremy saw that the chain had a fractured link that was borderline - about to give away. He replaced with a new Shimano chain and master link on the spot. I was prepared to either come back or leave it, but he took a few minutes to do the work and test ride. Greatly appreciate his work, I have always received excellent service here! Thanks guys, for keeping me on the trail. Bike rides smooth and quiet now! read more

Richard, Luciano, Dave, the ENTIRE TEAM took care of us! I walked in, in definite need of finding a bicycle. Not only was I informed of the parts and product, but my partner recommended Specialized as she has never had an issue with specialized in the eleven years of her being loyal to the brand. I took her advice - I walked out of Bicycle Heaven with excellent assistance, customer service, and support from the staff here at this Bicycle Heaven location. I purchased a Specialized X 3.0. I was TAKEN CARE OF. Fast forward to a few weeks after my purchase - my partner went on an international business trip and I wanted to surprise them by taking in their bicycle to get upgrades. Well! I informed Luciano on what I wanted and I GOT JUST THAT! The process was smooth and quick! Luciano and EVERYONE has been super helpful! Great. Words cannot express just how much this Bicycle Heaven location has made life easier - I LOVE CYCLING! With a great team on my side I have nothing to worry about. read more

Bicycle Heaven - Store Front - Bikes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I went to location to pick up a bike I ordered. From the moment I walked in, staff was standoff-ish and unreceptive. The demeanor and tone I was met with was as if I was in the wrong place. When I told them I was picking up a bike, the attitude was like if there was no way I ordered a bike. After being given my bike they were rude in answering questions I had and told me my bike was not tubeless ready because it was the "low end model". It was in fact tubeless ready -_- Terrible service overall. read more

Yelp doesn't allow me to put more stars so it gets only 5. The measure of a business, to me, is not what they do when everything goes well, but what they do when things don't. Bicycle Heaven was highly recommended to me by a cycling enthusiast friend of mine. At first impression, the store appeared well stocked with parts, bikes, mechanics, and attentive staff. So far so good. I "crew member" as they call themselves, inquired what I needed. Told him I had recently purchased a used Fuji Team all carbon fiber and, although it seemed to be in good working order, I wanted a tune up and new tape and mirror installed in handlebars. Price for tune up was very fair - about $75 I think. Plus more for tape and install. I was told it would be ready in about a week. A week rolled around and I picked it up. Everything seemed fine. This is where I believe they shine. Although, there are a couple of things that weren't addressed completely during the tune up, when I brought it back, experience was amazing. Matt personally handles matters. Because of the age, the bike needed for two parts (in the saddle and in gears) to be engineered and manufactured. Instead of pushing a high costs purchase, Matt took the time to personally evaluate the situation and produce low cost but extremely effective solutions. He was friendly and super attentive through the entire process. Can't express my positive impression enough. read more

Bicycle Heaven - My bike. - Bikes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It's been more than 10 years since I bought my first Specialized Rockhopper and for about a week I've reviewed different brands, from Trek, Cannondale etc and visited bikes shops around SA. Since I've had great experience with Specialized Bikes, decided to stick with this brand. Service - (N.W. Military) Greg was awesome; he took the time to address my concerns which included 27.5 vs 29er And I was able to test "Pitch" in a 27.5 , but they did not have a Rockhopper Sport in my size (s) but they had at the I10 location. Drove to I10 and met up with Nick since he was already expecting me... test drove... chose the Rockhopper 29er.... Thanks guys read more

This is a truly wonderful bike shop. Great people. Incredible bikes. Awesome service department. I love stopping in. They are 100% reliable. This is the best shop in San Antonio. I was back again at Bicycle Heaven today. I love this place. I bought another bike today. I'm happy again (happy sti I am lucky to have them to support my happiness. Update on Bicycle Heaven: without a doubt, this is the premiere bicycle shop anywhere in south central Texas. Matt (the owner) is onsite, attentive, and fully committed to every person who walks in the door. This should be everyone's first stop. read more

I guess ,based on the reviews, I don't need to tell you how great a shop this is. I luckily live close by so I've been fortunate to deal with them regularly, in the process of surviving my fleet of personal bikes. But one story I want to share is when I felt like my new Specialized Sirrus men's Elite was rubbing when I was switching the front cog. I came in to have them take a look and at first the manager, who had it on the rack trying to service it, couldn't find the problem. So instead of just saying it was fixed or that I was wrong, he told one of his employees to grab a bike and ride beside me to see if he could hear the issue and I replicate it. In the end it worked out perfectly, but I couldn't believe the how determined this manager was to find my issue and fix it correctly. I was extremely satisfied with the experience overall, and I am comforted knowing such people will be the ones working on my new bike. Excellent staff and manager. On a side not I like how the store is always fully staffed and I mean as many staff as they can fit back there. It's not like some other shops where two guys do it all. read more

Bicycle Heaven - Great bike with an excellent Trans. - Bikes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

These guys were great. They kept a limit on the amount of people in the store. They answered questions. Ryan was never pushy and was very helpful. We went in wanting one bike for my wife, but they didn't have it. We ended up leaving with a Rockhopper. Going back for a bike for me! read more

I cannot say enough great things about the staff at Bicycle Heaven. I purchase my first road bike from them back in April and was provided so much information that helped put me on the perfect starter bike. I went back today just browse some mountain bikes and Dave went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Jessie is also extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I have been numerous other times into each location, including being fit tested for a more comfortable ride and have never left disappointed. They have really helped me find my love for cycling on and off the road. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable and ready to help. They have certainly gained a life long customer! read more

Really helpful staff and great service. Took the time to really find what would best fit my needs in a bike.

Certainly the best shop in San Antonio. With the continual competition of online shopping and fire sales Matt at Bicycle Heaven continues to execute on his strategy of the following: 1) Customer Service 2) Competent staff 3) Expert mechanics 4) Tip of the Spear in trends and products 5) Shop that meets the needs for a family and the racer All in all if your looking for a great shop then you can't go wrong at BIcycle Heaven read more

Special thanks and shout out to Jason and the guys over at The Bicycle Heaven COLONNADE. Great place to take your bike. Great service. Again, that's at The Colonnade location. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with the Bicycle Heaven I had gone to for years over at Northwest Military. Been off the bike for several years due to back injuries and other issues. Just getting back on the road and back on the trails. So the first thing I thought of was to take the bikes to the Bicycle Heaven on Northwest Military. BIG changes over the years. Apparently they are no longer in independently owned and operated. Most likely having to do with the big changes in the bicycling industry. Long story long, Covid really did a number on the industry. First there was not enough supply. Then they had to catch up they over manufactured and overbought and overstocked at the bike shops. So now there's warehouses with a lot of older bikes. New old stock that has still yet to sell. Unfortunately that leads to issues for the independently owned bike shops. A lot are going the way that Bicycle Heaven has. No longer independently owned and operated. But the guys do a great job again at the Colonnade location. I had first taken the bike to the Northwest Military location. Apparently they were busy selling bikes and don't really put an emphasis on customer service and repairs. They told me just to take it to the other location. Which I did. Which I'm glad I did. Jason and the mechanics over at The Colonnade Bicycle Heaven did a great job. They completely redid a 15y.o. old Specialized Enduro s-works mountain bike. All new brakes, complete tuneup and it's back on the trail. A little glitch. I did take my road bike over after it had fallen over. Needed some derailleur adjustments. Not quite right the first time but the second time around they took really good care of it and put on a new chain I had brought with me. Didn't charge me ANYTHING. But of course I bought something. You can never have too many gel bicycle gloves. LOL. But that's what you do. Somebody takes care of you, you take care of them and show them you appreciate the service. At least that's the way it USED to be back in the day. And yes I know a lot of it has to do with the turmoil in the bicycling industry these days. Unless you've been living under a rock I'm sure most people realize what's going on. Anyway, shout out and thanks again to Jason at the bicycle Heaven Colonnade. THAT'S where to take your bike. read more

I took my bike (I have owned it for 8 years or so) for minor repairs and they did a great job. When I went to the park for a ride the bike felt as if it was brand new. Totally recommend this place! Staff is very professional and attentive. Great bike shop / repair, I am totally coming back! read more

My family and I were visiting from out of town and I like checking out local bike shops. Ryan was super helpful, informative and patient. Very personal and helped me gain knowledge of clip shoes. Also I was able to find some red handle specialized grips for my son at $11 great deal and again shout out to Ryan for his help. Great spot and very approachable and friendly staff. read more

Wife and I recently moved to San Antonio and love biking the trails. I went into this shop after passing it a few times and then seeing good reviews online. They were very dismissive for the first 10 min and then downright rude the next 5. It just seemed like they weren't interested in helping me from the moment I walked in. Idk if they thought I wasn't interested in buying, or if they were just having a bad day. I've always preferred smaller shops because the service is almost always better than bigger stores. But I have to say, I ended up getting a Cannondale at REI --loved the service I got there, happy with the bike, the great price I got, and their follow-up. Unfortunately, I just don't have any reason to ever go back to Bicycle Heaven. read more

A great shop and even better service, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and just nice people that want to make sure you get exactly what you need, even helped me out with perfect seat height. I had been searching for a while for a bike and they had exactly what I wanted and had all the accessories as well. Will definitely be going back for service and more accessories and who knows maybe another bike. Highly recommend you check them for whatever your needs from a new purchase, service and accessories. read more

Looking for a professional mountain bike or road bike? Stop. You've come to the right place. Bicycle Heaven is staffed by people who know bikes.

But you don't have to spend ton to get a bike that will fit your riding needs. And if accessories is all you need, Bicycle Heaven has those, too.

Very nice and knowledgeable folks here. Got the best bicycle I've ever owned in my life from them. Dave got me fit perfectly!!!

This is the best service you are ever going to get! I have dealt with LBS's all over this country and this is our favorite, by far. We live less than a mile from one of their competitors but will drive across town to use them. they are very knowledgeable, super friendly, and don't treat newbies like newbies. They are passionate about cycling, no matter your level, age, or gender. They only carry Cannondale and Specialized, but know about all brands. read more

Great personalized service. Matt spent a lot of time explaining mountain bikes to me and answering all my questions. He helped my son and I chose the perfect bikes for our needs. I love that I never feel rushed no matter how many customers are in the store. read more

Bicycle Heaven - Bikes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Like one of the other reviewers, I had a chronic problem with my bike that these guys knocked out like it was nothing! I had a brand new Sram X9 drivetrain installed and it would never quite shift as well as I thought it should. I kept taking it back to the LBS where I purchased the bike new (it was only a few months old at this point) and they would keep it a few days and call it good. I'd ask them if they test rode it and they acted insulted by my question. Sure enough, on my next ride, it wouldn't shift right. Finally, upon recommendation of another Bicycle Heaven customer, I took it here to have them give it a look. Within 5 minutes, the mechanic determined that the derailleur hanger was tweaked at an odd angle and fixed it. After that, the X9 was shifting like butter, even under pressure! These guys rock! Also, today I took in my new and old rear wheel to have the cassette moved from the old to the new. The guy did it while I waited in like seriously 3 minutes! And... it only cost 5 bucks! Impressed again! I bought my bike at another shop because I specifically wanted the Giant Trance X 29er, but I'm definitely coming here for all maintenance! Kudos to Bicycle Heaven! Keep up the great work, guys! read more

Bought my bike here two years ago, and couldn't be happier. Very thorough on explaining parts and repairs. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and great customer service! read more

Been coming to BH for service since 2005 (starting at the old location). Usually I walk away happy. But last time did not go well. My sons Marin mountainbike had a stuck left Shimano shifter. We were told the shifter was broken. They replaced it with another model shifter, but never communicated that the original shifter model was not available. Further confusing, they mentioned while writing up the ticket that typically the shifters came in sets. But a set was not ordered. It just seems kind of ridiculous to not explain to the customer that they'd no longer have matching shifters and brake levers. My son picked up the bike because it was ready just as he was leaving town for college, so unfortunately I didn't realize this disaster until he sent me pics that night. Even then I probably would not have posted this complaint on Yelp, but I coincidentally learned the replacement was not even necessary. These GS200 shifters are known for locking up with age, especially the left which often doesn't get used. The typical fix is a good solvent to dissolve the hardened grease. But instead it was $50 to introduce the new shifter, it doesn't match, and the process of removing the old shifter damaged the handlebar, and it'll be another $50 and some some handlebar tap to resolve this mess. And in the end it's not even about the money - it just bothers my son and I that we could have keep the legacy shifter. Likewise, after many great experiences with BH, I am extremely agitated about this repair. In all fairness, the shifter was replaced quickly (same day the part arrived) and it works well. And no issues with the other repairs that were requested. read more

Great shop. I bought a bike here and a pair of MTB shoes. Friendly, knowledgable staff. They helped me with fitting some pedals as well. Solid offerings within the Specialized line. read more

Honestly, this bike shop has been the only one I've been to that wasn't awkward. They actually care to help and point you in the CORRECT direction, not just whatever makes their wallets happy. Went there in 2014, bought two bikes and returned again this year to upgrade to a better bike. Went in there again with my friend to help, and instead of trying to steer her away from what she needed/wanted they helped her find exactly what she was happy with. Good job to Matt and the team! read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff eager to help and get you rolling away on your favorite two-wheeled device! The water here is amazing. Fresh, cool, and crisp. read more

Extreme case of bad customer service !!! Was treated like a leper. The person who helped completed lacks any kind of customer service skills, specially when it comes to a new customer with beginner skills. He didn't make any effort to provide helpful information, it looked as he was being forced to work there. I was about to make a purchase, but after some reflection I asked my self "Why should I buy at a store where the sales minion is being a jerk???". REALIZED the mistake I was about to make and decide to leave the store. I've made a promise to not go back there in my life, and will do all I can to warn all potential customers, specially since my expertise is in the social media marketing arena. So please, yes, I am talking to you potential customer.... Do not buy anything from here! read more

I went in expecting to pay a good amount of money for a quality bike I was shocked to see how much a good bike cost but I definitely got the impression they know how to service a bike. Won't be buying one until I've saved a lot more read more

Came in from out of town but needed to get measured for a saddle and handlebars. Visited twice, both times the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes, LBS can be condescending, but these guys (and gals) made the experience easy. If this shop was near my town, I would stop buying parts off the internet. read more

This officially my first review. I will have to say that this shop is pretty awesome. Walked in with my Jamis I had purchased off someone and BH guys took me in like I had bought my bike from them. That made me feel real good. For a very low and reasonable price, they took the time to teach me some basic things on how to maintain my bike. They were very patient and detailed on the specific things they were teaching me. Thanks again guys for welcoming me so well. I will definitely return for my bike issues. read more

Went in looking for a bike pump yesterday. Was in and out so didn't spend too much time browsing, basically a nice medium to large sized high end bike shop with new bikes in several styles and colors, cycling clothes and basic accessories. Had just what I needed, fairly reasonable price for the quality of pump. The customer service was good, helpful but not over bearing or pushy I would probably shop here again. Don't know about their quality as far as mechanical work as I haven't had any thing done here yet but will update if I do. :) read more

If you want professional service and top quality equipment then look no further. The staff are very well trained, have deep product knowledge and deliver exceptional customer service. They will go the extra mile to make your biking experience awesome, so you will want to go back and see them again. read more

Excellent, prompt service. Been here on several occasions with flats and other minor maintenance issues-almost always received service while I waited. read more

Brittney (I hope that's how it's spelled) was the best person to talk to. She was so nice, and she explained everything to me. I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 11, and now I feel confident every time I check the pressure and go for a ride. The specialized bikes are the best ones in my opinion. read more

Ok, so I've been in the market for a mountain bike for a few months. I've always been a trek fan, but the service at the trek dealer was so awful I switched. I've been to every bike shop in the city and this place excelled by far! I purchased a Specialized and couldn't be happier. I worked with Angel and Brittany and both were super nice! Brittany was very knowledgeable in the type of trail riding I do and offered some good tips! Check this place out...you won't regret it. read more

Bicycle Heaven is by far the best bike shop in San Antonio, TX. The owner, Matt, is knowledgeable and passionate about cycling. No matter how busy he is, he always makes a point to say hello when I'm in the shop. Greg is a great listener and superb mechanic. The rest of team always greats me with a smile and are attentive to my needs. I've been a big fan of this shop since I move to Texas in 2004. Go check them out! read more

Experienced these guys 3 times total. My first time was just as a window shopper looking at the various bikes and parts. I already had 3 bikes being brought to me from Houston by a friend and I couldn't wait to start working on them. I've worked on primarily BMX bikes but was about to jump into road bikes. I asked a handful of questions and the guy answering was very helpful. He knew all the right answers and asked me what I looking to do and pointed me in the direction I may or may not want to go. My second time was after picking up a bike at a really low price from a friend who was moving and I didn't have any tools to work on the bike myself and I just wanted then to inspect the rims, tubes and tires. The guy this time went ahead and checked everything and inflated my tires for me and recommended I replace a few parts and get a tune up to address immediate concerns. I took it on a light test drive and decided I would come back when I had more time and money. Best of all he did it all for free! My third time was to get my tune up on this same bike. This time the guy was not very friendly AT ALL. I always make it a point to check store hours anywhere I go to make sure I'm not ruining someone's last 10 minutes of work. I was an hour and forty minutes away from the end of the day and the shop was completely empty of any customers. I had no explanation of why he seemed upset but went ahead and setup a tune up. He recommended every service I would need to get my bike to 100% and I decided I'd do half right away and the other less vital half later. Through it all, each guy I talked to was very knowledgable and knew their craft inside and out. They even complimented my bike on 2 occasions. Overall the prices are great and knowledge goes a long way. I'd definitely stop here again and again for tune ups and such. read more

I've been cycling for over 6 years and I've really have fallen in love with it. I went in convinced that I was ready to switch from a roadbike to a hybrid. I even purchased the bike and brought it home. After about an hour or so I realized that this was not the right bike for me. The women who sold me the bike did a fantastic job and answered all of my questions, however, I called in and explained the situation and Mark asked me to bring the bike back in. I did, and we went through about 3 other models before finding the perfect bike for me. I LOVE my new bike and I'm thankful that the shop stands by their products. They've made a returning customer out of me. read more

Summary: Customer service, expertise and a great staff all in one location. I recently set out to purchase my first new bike in over 20 years as my old one was finally ready to be put out to pasture. Needless to say, technology has changed since my last purchase so I set out to explore the options. I visited over 10 different shops here in town and Bicycle Heaven was the only one that greeted me and answered my questions on multiple visits and provided me with the information necessary to make an informed decision. There were several shops that totally ignored me even when I asked the people behind the counter specific questions. I don't, however, just review a business solely based upon the purchase. I hold off until I have seen how their post-purchase support functions and I have to say that not only was I impressed, but surprised at the level of customer service they offered above and beyond my expectations. In particular, I had a gear tooth break before my first service check and it wasn't a covered part. The staff ended up going to their supplier and getting it covered under their allotment far exceeding what I was expecting. I have taken 2 people into the shop in the last few months and recommended it to a lot more. These people really practice what they preach. read more
