just now New The Bike Doc took great care of my new to me bike. He was very knowledgeable and completed my tuneup in a timely manner. read more

My wife and I each needed work done on our electric bike and trike, so we took them to the bike doctor. He did a fine job fixing them up good as new. When something seemed out of kilter I took it back, and he pointed out what I had been doing wrong! Then everything was great. I wanted another non-electric bike, and he sold me a nice one in great working order for a very comfortable price. As the weeks went by, he would fix (no charge!) and do whatever little tweaking it needed to where it's just the way I want it now..A Navy corpsman who served in VietNam, he's also a Julliard School of Music alum who was a prize winning concert pianist, bike racer and loves his Corvettes. In short, the Bike Doctor is a totally talented guy who achieves excellence in whatever he does...Hopefully it's fix your bike! Robin A. read more

The Bike Doc is a professional. He assures that your bike is running it's best. I have recommended the Bike Doc to my friends. I've received great service on both of my bikes. The bikes drive and feel better than when I bought them from another Bike Shop a year ago. The Bike Doc is precise and helpful. I saw a customer at the Bike Doc who left a review that was not truthful about it. There are rude people who don't act in honorable ways. The Bike Doc provides a great service to the cycling community. read more

Needed help completing assembly of mail-order adult (non-electric) trike. Beau did an excellent job of explaining what was needed and what the cost would be, and he completed the job during the 2-hour appointment time. I'm satisfied and would recommend him highly. I will being using him when I upgrade to an E-Trike! read more

Beau knows . He fixes he tunes and he fits bikes for serious and amateur Rider. telephone appointments are appreciated but he'll take care of you and make sure you're safe. Excellent service. read more

Save your money and don't use this guy. I did and regretted it. I sent $250 and then took my bike to ****** Bicycle Service and they said lots of people have the same comment about him. Just FYI read more

I'd modified my 40 yr. old Fuji to fit my frame as best I could. Bike Doc renovated it with much needed replacement parts, making it a new bike for not a lot of money. Later, he found a new seat and horn to make it a much better fit for me and I'm really happy with my ride now. The cost was very reasonable, especially considering the knowledge he has to make everything right. He works by appointment only but made small adjustments to fine tune it while I waited. read more

Temperamental asshat. Promised to put together a shipped tricycle for me then the day of delivery reneged, leaving me scrambling to reroute the truck and find another bike shop. I highly recommend Ajo Bikes!! read more

I am so happy to have met the Bike Doc. What an amazing and generous man. I am so appreciative of all his knowledge and concern for our safety. His personal service and dedication were outstanding. I would highly recommend using his service. I look forward to riding my ebike around town. ETA - It saddens me to see a couple (one recently updated) negative reviews. Having worked with the public my whole career, I am reminded that you can never please some people. I sincerely hope the Bike Doc ignores the childlike temper tantrum and ignorant reviews and continues to serve our community. We are blessed to have him. read more

I brought my online-purchased bike to Bike Doc for assembly. The service was quick and done expertly. He also gave me riding tips and adjusted the spokes to "straighten" the wheel. He gave me a presta-to-schrader tire valve converter. Good price, too. Twyla read more

I needed a tuneup on my 25 year old Motobecane bicycle. Made an appointment and dropped it off Wednesday. Thursday morning it was completed. Beau adjusted the chain, raised my handlebars so my neck was in a better position and adjusted the brake handles for easier reach for me. It is like a new bike! Thank you for your great service. read more

When I got my bike 5 years ago, I loved riding it, but lately, it's been more of a chore. So, I took it to the Bike Doc. He replaced the chain and tuned everything else up. I've fallen in love with my bike all over again. The price seemed reasonable, the time it took seemed reasonable and my bike really does ride like new. read more

I wanted the torque settings checked on my brand new Lectric bike. I called the day before and he told me he could fit me in the next day. While on the phone he questioned me as to why I bought a Lectric bike and didn't I know he was the local rep for RAD electric bikes and I should have bought one of those. I told him I had been unaware of that, but nevertheless I still needed the torque settings checked. He then questioned me for about 15 minutes as to why hadn't I read the directions ( which I had), and if I had there should be no reason for him to check. Well, I am a single woman with not all the tools known to mankind in my toolbox, so I simply asked if he was willing to do it or not. He told me to come in the next day. I rode the bike to his home/shop. He was standing on his front walkway when I rode up. I asked where he would like me to bring the bike? As I started to roll the bike in the direction he indicated, he put up his arm in a stop movement and asked, Where is your mask? Since it was a full 18 months after the pandemic began, I had been vaccinated, and no place of business was requiring masks anymore I told him I didn't have one with me. He then started yelling that he wasn't any other business and he requires masks I told him he should have informed me of that the day before on the phone. At that point he totally lost it, started calling me names and yelling that I was stupid for not wearing a mask I calmly turned my bike around and rode off the whole time he continued waving his arms and yelling at me. He is a control freak who has serious anger management issues... A raving bully! read more

The Bike Doc did an excellent job putting a pedal assist on my TerraTrike which saved me nearly $5,000 compared to buying a new electric trike. He has always done fine work and is so helpful, highly recommend. read more

I took my Rad ebike to Beau because it would not start. After 2 months of repeated trips for repairs it still doesn't work. Tonight I asked that the parts sent to him for the repair of my bike be put outside his house for me to pick up tomorrow to get repair done elsewhere. He refused and said "Fuck off, shit head." DO NOT USE THIS MAN! read more

Quality work, highly recommend and great service. Local bike shop would not even look at my bike because it is a Schwinn...why!

I recommend you go elsewhere for work on your bike. Ask about one thing and its you need this and that.

Where to start...? I contacted The Bike Doc to inquire about setting up my brand new electric bike. During my call, I explained that my bike was still in its carton, and was soon to arrived from Rad Power Bikes in Seattle, WA. The owner listen carefully to my service needs and stated his prices - up front for the services I would need to insure my new bike was properly assembled, tuned, lubricated and most importantly- safe to ride! We agreed I would call to schedule an appointment as soon as I had a confirmed delivery date. On my next call, with my new bike's delivery date confirmed, we arranged to meet at his shop at a specific date and time. He suggested that I only open the top of the carton to retrieve the owners manual ( read it!) the battery and the charger, and charge the battery, per the mfg instructions so I would be ready to ride when he finished his set up work! GREAT TIP! When I arrived, he was ready for my job, and started straight away. I was shown were I could stand to watch, encouraged to ask as many questions as I wanted, and was even allowed to take pictures of the entire process! This man is a Bike Wizard, maybe even a "Bike Whisperer!" His hands and tools touched my new bike like an Italian craftsman building a Ferrari. No detail was left out! Handlebar mounting, control panel connections, crown bearing tension, spoke tension, disk brake alignment and adjustment, pedal lubrication, derailleur operation and adjustment, tire bead inspection, tire liner insertion (to avoid flats caused by pesky thorns that liter our desert landscape) tire slime to protect the inside of my tubes and even special instructions on how to lubricate all of the various moving parts on my bike! When he was done, he then adjusted the seat and handlebar to my exact height. He showed me how to mount, check my derailleur for safe gear selection and how to use each of the special controls on my e-bike that make it so cool to ride! He even included a can of special PFTE dry lubricant at a nominal charge. In the end, he spent almost 3 hours going over this new bike with a fine toothed comb. The first ride was smooth, quiet and exhilarating! The second even better! I willingly paid his price for the attention to detail he showered on my new bike, satisfied that I had been permitted to watch - with my own eyes - every step of the way, and even have the photos to prove it! This man is a combat veteran, a trained bicycle technician, a concert pianist and an amazing resource to the bicycling community in the Tucson, AZ area. His fees are both well in line with other shops, and at the same time worth every penny even at twice the price for the skill he possesses, and his sincere interest in every rider having a sound, safe bicycle beneath them when he is finished! If you are lucky enough to have The Bike Doc care for your bicycle (and you actually listen to and follow his instructions) you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! BTW - he also called me back on the next day, just to ask how the bike was performing! (Needless to say, it was perfect!). Great Job, Bike Doc... If I could give him 10 Stars, I would do so - gladly! read more

Bike Doc makes house calls! I called up on Saturday and left a message expecting to hear back Monday at which point I would make an appointment for sometime next week to replace both tires and do a first service and a tune up. But I was pleasantly surprised by a quick call back that same day and an appointment opening for a house call on Sunday. Beau was punctual, thorough, efficient and explained what he was doing and why. I also appreciated his attention to detail, the general tips and information he provided as he worked and his focus on rider safety. Even threw in a little bike fit adjustment, which made a big improvement in overall ride comfort. Reasonable pricing for great service. Will definitely call him for future biking needs! read more

On 3 November 2023 I took my mountain bike to "The Bike Doc" at his place of residence in Green Valley to have my left hydraulic brake bled and refilled with brake fluid. The previous day I had described to him in a phone call the work I was requesting on my left brake (the right brake was fine). After arrival at his residence he began to inquire about the age of the bike components and he began a diatribe about how he does not work on any bike unless he does a 100% safety inspection. He proceeded to tell me that my brakes probably needed to be replaced and possibly other drivetrain components as well. During his diatribe he made a statement that "...if I missed a shift I could kill myself...". In reality the Shimano XT/XTR components that are on my bike are extremely reliable and durable despite their age (approximately 23 years in service) and any mechanic worth his salt could see that the fix to the left brake was a simple bleed and refill, and that any concern with shifting the gears on the bike could easily be addressed with a simple adjustment. In my experience when a mechanic immediately begins to suggest parts replacement to any piece of equipment as the solution to a mechanical issue it is because they do not have the knowledge, skills, or experience to diagnose a particular malfunction and repair it. Thus, as the interaction with "The Bike Doc" progressed it became clear to me that he had no idea what he was looking at or how to repair the brake, or much less adjust the drivetrain for any perceived issue with how it was shifting. Thus, he abruptly and rudely thrust the bike back to me. I took my bike and walked off and I made a comment that I was sorry to have wasted his time. After making that comment "The Bike Doc" unleased a torrent of obscenities directed at me personally and I responded that he needed to keep his comments to himself. He then charged at me into the public street and chest bumped me and repeatedly shouted in my face that he dared me to hit him! Despite his completely unwarranted and highly threatening aggression I calmly proceeded to strap down my bike to my bike rack and I got in my vehicle. After entering my vehicle I observed in my rear view mirror "The Bike Doc" hitting my bike with his hand (or at least that is what I thought he was doing at the time--more explanation on that point below). I then proceeded to take my bike directly to Sky Island Bikes in Tucson and the shop owner quickly and efficiently addressed the brake and shifting issue with a bleed and refill and minor lubrication and adjustment. Thus, no expensive and time consuming parts replacement was required as stated by "The Bike Doc". I have subsequently ridden my bike over all forms of desert terrain and it has performed flawlessly, as I knew it would with some simple maintenance and adjustment actions. Upon arrival at Sky Island Bikes I noted that my bike was not strapped down to my bike rack and in fact had been free floating on the entire drive from Green Valley to Tucson. I have a theory as to how my bike came to be free floating on the bike rack, but I will let anyone reading this review draw their own conclusion. Given the nature of this incident and "The Bike Doc's" completely unwarranted and threatening aggression against me as a potential customer visiting his place of work/residence I have filed a complaint against him with the Pima County Sheriff's Office. No doubt if "The Bike Doc" does respond he will make some comment(s) about him being a Vietnam veteran. On this point I will clarify that I am well familiar with the Vietnam War and its impacts on individuals and the country, and I joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1976 and served for 23 years. read more

I ordered an Lectric eTrike from Lectric Bikes, Phoenix AZ. As someone whose mobility, strength, and dexterity is challenged, I am no longer able to uncrate, assemble and tune an eTrike myself. I contacted Beau Gerard, the Bike Doc, and made arrangements for the eTrike to be shipped directly to him. Beau received shipment May, 27, and completed assembly within a week, making the extra effort, and taking extra time to contact the factory regarding damage issues caused by transport. As of this writing I am working on an amicable resolve to the damage issues with Lectric Bikes, and Beau continues to lend support by communicating directly with the factory in the capacity of "expert witness." In my communication with Lectric Bikes this morning, the factory stated that they really appreciated Beau's participation due to his experience and expertise in support of my claim. In addition to assembling the eTrike and communicating with Lectric Bikes on my behalf, Beau "thorn proofed" the 3 tires with liners and "slime," to accommodate local road conditions. His charge for services rendered? Very reasonable, and includes a follow up inspection and adjustments at 350 miles. Two friends who visited over the weekend, who are avid cyclists, concurred that price charged and services rendered by the Bike Doc are better than they receive in Tucson. I can, without reservation, give a 5 Star rating to Beau Gerard, the Bike Doc. read more

Glad to learn he was open on a Sunday, I drove over to discover he works from his home. Unfortunately when there was no answer at the door, he informed me service was by appointment only and so I was asked to return in a couple hours. Happily I agreed. Basically he refused to fix my tire unless I went back home again and brought him the bike! Which would've meant three trips to his location--unacceptable. That seemed odd, as if he were planning to add a bunch of charges, since he deemed my brakes "unsafe" sight unseen. He scolded me for using the wrong oil. Untrue. From there he wouldn't even talk about the flat. My 90-year old Father stood his ground and tried to find out if he would fix the tire or not. This bike guy started shouting for us to get off his property. Very rude. I was frightened and already in the car and this guy was still yelling, totally inappropriate and weird. If you want to make several calls and several trips to his house, AND be disrespected and yelled at for no good reason, plus probably be overcharged for parts and repairs you do not need, then this individual is just for you. Good luck. read more

This guy sure does offer a different experience - especially if you want something you are not seeking. All I needed was a bolt for my seat post bracket. I had the old one, but he did not want to talk to me until he saw the bike. Clearly dollars flashed before his eyes ... who did my maintenance, he wanted to know ..... I told him I did it myself ....... Yes , he said, he could tell it was done by an amateur. I needed brake work, new cables all around, wheels needed truing, head set was loose - and my bike was just not safe!! Whether right or not, and in part he was, I just wanted a bolt; I am an educated consumer having done my time in a famous Marin bike shop. He told me he was reluctant to sell me a bolt .. to which I replied that was fine, I would go elsewhere. Then he said he didn't say he wouldn't help me - he was just reluctant. I was out of there. With his gleaming Harley Hog in the open garage - for which I did not notice a helmet to protect his bandana covered coconut despite his safety concerns for me, his Viet Nam POW flag and the Stars and Stripes, I figured this guy was not for me or my bike. I thanked him for his time, departed down the driveway. As I loaded up my bike, he was shouting at me from his front door so I replied I'd be writing up my experience. Next thing, I am sitting in my Jeep about to start it.... and this yahoo is banging on my driver's side window yelling at me. That's assault in my book - all for a lousy bolt?? This man has a very short fuse and may well be suffering from PTSD .... don't put yourself at risk. PS I went to the other bike shop in Green Valley where they kindly re-threaded the fitting, used one of the bolts I had and set me on my way $12 later ... not a word about the condition of the bike! Nor did I experience an ounce of trouble on my 90' Fremont Desert Trails ride. read more

Formerly did repair on USA team. Thorough and expedient but busy so be sure to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, don't just show up.

Bike Doc is arrogant, rude and unreasonable. He thinks he's God's gift to your bike. Fixing a bike is not brain surgery. You go in wanting a tune up and the Bike Doc will tell you your bike has cancer, figuratively speaking. He can't focus on one aspect of your bike, rather, he wants to do a complete overhaul of your bike and charge you an astronomical price otherwise it's "not worth his precious time" and he will shoo you away like a second class citizen. read more

Had a great experience. He is very thorough in his work and made sure my electric bike was in great working condition. His rates are more than fair, and the work was done perfectly. Plan on using him for all my biking needs in the future. Great service! read more

Great service, really thorough. He took the extra time to be sure everything was properly tuned up and ready to go

Highest of recommendations for "Bo, The Bike Doc". He had both of our bikes rejuvenated and ready for the road in just a day and at a very reasonable price. Quality of work was excellent, plus he went beyond that to assure we were fully comfortable with what he did and provided us rider tips. Plus he will be checking back with us in 40 days at absolutely no cost to us to tune up the bikes. read more

I needed to have a recumbent bike assembled and this is a bit more complex than my old upright models. I live in Green Valley and wanted to patronize a local business so I thought I'd give Bike Doc a try. Wow, I'm so glad I did. I did take my bike to him, and he went to work on it - a lot of work as it turns out; thorough, meticulous, and careful. He even sized the bike to me before he would let me ride off. While this is fairly straightforward on traditional bikes, it took a lot to get everything to come together since legs move almost in line with cables and handlebars - at least on my model. When I left everything was perfect. He was upfront about costs before starting the work, and the "shop charges" were about standard. I'm glad he's so close. Will be using him in the future. read more

I am a long time mountain bike rider, who has an older Rockhopper which is near and dear to me, despite it's age. I live down in Baja, MX most of the year, so I called Beau prior to coming up to Green Valley, and explained that my old bike needed severe maintenance, to include new gears, brakes, chain, cables, etc. When I arrive in GV, I called Beau, he said, "bring it over", and that was all I had to do. Beau looked over my bike, we discussed my riding, how long the bike has been between tune-ups, and what was needed to bring the bikes condition to a safe and well-running level. Beau gave me a quote, and told me when to pick it up. I also mention that I was only going to be 'local' for about 2 weeks, but Beau was able to fit me in without an issue. When I arrived to pick it up, he was just finishing his final touches. We discussed what he did while he showed his work. I was very happy with the whole experience. It was a nice change to find a super qualified bike mechanic, with out a high shop fee, nor any attitude. A genuine real nice guy. I got in a ride the next day, and the bike never rode better...no kidding. If it was that smooth when new, I really don't remember, but I had a great ride on my newly repaired and tuned bike. I'm taking the bike down to Baja, and can't wait to start putting miles on it again. Thanks Beau... read more

The Bike Doc is super awesome. He is super keen on safety and will do everything to make sure your ride is road ready. If you're not able to get your bike to him, he's got a mobile service to get to you which is sweet because my trike is too big for my car. Not only did he do a tune up, he made some other adjustments to make sure I was sitting correctly and comfortably. It's nice having a someone in GV for my trike necessities. Highly recommend his service. read more

I went to Beau "The Bike Doc" because he is a veteran that served in the Navy. I served in US Army infantry 2nd battalion 4th infantry in 69-70. He may have skills at fixing bikes but he did not fix mine and I left it there for 2 weeks. It only needed a flat tire fixed, a couple of batteries replaced (which he didn't do)and a minor tune-up. Bike was working fine when I took it in. He called me and said it needed more. He said "someone messed with it". I asked what was wrong and he said well "someone messed with it". Dollar signs started at that point. I picked it up 2 weeks later and he had put a small part on the exchanger which didn't need it. He charged me a $190. Should have been no more than a $130 to $140 according to my bike friends. Beau said I had been disrespectful to him on the phone and that was not true ......very strange. He took exception to my 21 year old sports car and called me an elitist mother F*****3 times. Beau totally lost his temper. He bolted out from behind his work area ripping his mask from his face and charging at me looking for a fight. I have never had a "business" person act in such an abusive, physical and unprofessional manner. One of the previous reviewers mentioned they had had an anger/temper problem with Beau too. They said he probably suffers from PTSD. He gets a zero from me for the lack of work on the bike and a zero for lack of interpersonal business skills. Do not go there! Like Jack Nicholson in the movie -"The Shining" bizarre experience. He is lucky I didn't call the police. read more
