Since moving to Texas, I have searching for a good bike shop for my Specialized bike. I found one…read morebut it's down in Austin and that's a bit of a drive living up in this area. I recently had a flat and needed to get a new tube and tire. Searching for a local bike shop, I came across Trek Bicycle. I was able to bring my bike in and the guaranteed I would have it back the next day. They also helped me decide to go "tubeless", something I had never considered before. All of the people who work there are very friendly and helpful. After getting the new tires, I decided to take the bike back for a full tune-up. It had been more than a year since the last tune-up. When I received the bike back, it was like getting the bike again for the first time. It was immaculate. And you can always tell how smooth the ride is after getting it back from a tune-up. What else can be said other than they do amazing work, it's easy to get your bike in and they are pretty good at getting the bike back to you as quickly as possible. I can't recommend this shop highly enough for the quality of the work they perform and the great staff working here.

He did a great job at a very reasonable price and I am back on the trail with my old faithful ride! So glad I brought it here.

Sadly I see quite a bit of trash I often pick up on the side across Bee Cave Pkwy. But it's fun to ride my bike or walk from the house to do some grocery shopping at Whole Foods or pick something up from a local boutique. One of the many reasons I love living in the area. But for great nature hiking I have a stunning trail from my back yard through the preserve in our hood that takes me to Lake Austin.

They are near a winery and there's a pizza shop and a arcade all within walking distance. The owner is pretty young guy, so you got to love young entrepreneurs. Of all the places for a person to start a business, he decided to start it here in Austin even though he is from houston. They will sell the sit down tricycle type of bike, it's actually called a TerraBike. I brought three bikes and he got them in quick, the pricing was great, comparable to other bike shops. I got great updates about my bike especially when a part had to be ordered and that's no fault of his, I just had to wait for the part to get here. I did see that there were other people that were here the same day of the grand opening like me so hopefully word is getting out. They also sell other items inside if you are interested in accessories for your bike. I saw a wide variety of bikes in there so it doesn't really matter what you have, if it is a cycle, I'm sure that he can work on it. Every time I come in here I seem to learn something new about a bicycle because this guy is doing something from scratch. It's cool to see a artist working at his art /craft.
