This team is professional and skilled! They fixed my bike and made it look brand new in a timely manner. Will definitely be my go to bike shop at the beach! read more

Thank you to Don and Kirk for their great customer service yesterday! My friend visiting from out of town got a flat tire right at the beginning of our bike ride. We thought we'd bop over to Champion's just to rent a bike, but they were able to fix her bike the same day as well! Everyone at the shop is always super friendly (i've had my bike serviced here before as well), and they are happy to share bike maintenance tips and tricks. read more

Champion Cycling - Shop dog - such a good boy! - Bikes Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

WARNING!!! Wow. Absolutely terrible place. They are very arrogant. I stopped in today with my wife and son. I bought my son a $700 bike from this store just a couple months ago so I thought they would help me out. I bought a new chain for my wife's beach cruiser and it was too long. I mistakenly took out too many links and needed just one link put back. The not so friendly guy working today looked at the brand new chain I had in a bag, scoffed and me and gave me a dirty look and as he was walking away said, "bring in the bike and I will put the chain on it." And he was gone. Gave me all of 15 seconds. The way he talked to me and looked at me was horrible and I will never go back. Another bike shop was happy to do it in 2 min. For free. I am in the market for 2 new mountain bikes and I will not be buying them here. Terribly rude and arrogant people. I will forever tell everyone I know about how bad this place is. DO NOT GO HERE. Much better bike shops around. They were terrible to deal with when I bought the bike also. They have one great employee named Cat at the Arlington location. Go there if you have to. Stay away from the beach location. Total Jerks. all very arrogant like they are selling billion dollar yachts. That's the vibe. read more

My derailleur malfunctioned and my bike was not rideable and I was 15 miles from home. That's when Don and Kirk at my LBS came to the rescue. Even though it was a busy Saturday, Don sent Kirk to pick me up from Brewhound, take me to the shop so they could remedy the derailleur issue and then Kirk was awesome enough to drive me back to town. Thank you Don and Kirk! read more

So nice!! I called 3 different bike shops and no one answered even though it was the middle of the day. They were the first ones to pick up the phone and were so kind and gave me advice on how to fix the bike without charge or saying I needed to buy any upgrades. Another time I went in to get caps for some tires and they gave it to me for free even though I asked to pay. read more

hello to anyone who reads this.stay away from this bike shop.these stonies that work there are sad.looking for a hard-to-find tire tube.called their sister stores in the area, no luck than i called this store that was more than an hour drive.they swore they had my tube, many in inventory.when at the store they handed me the wrong size,than they handed me another diff.but wrong tube..then one of these lug nuts told me he could squeese a larger tube into my tire and rim.do not trust this shop.no value in talking to liers read more

Excellent service from Don. I came over because one of the local stores that does mostly repair told me I should check it out. I think they have a great selection the best I've seen in the area. Also, the prices are reasonable. I will be back! As a note, he also wants to see my bike back in 90 days to just reset the cables after stretching, etc. again just excellent service and a really nice guys in there. read more

Catherine always treats me like VIP! My bike is better than I leave it. Great service and good prices!!!!

Great shop, I just moved here and the service has been great everytime I have walked in the store. Definitely suggest these guys.

Great shop!! Took my wife's Mango in for tube replacement. In and out in 10 minutes. Brian helped me. He is an awesome guy and answered alot of questions about other bikes we have. Shop is organized, well stocked, lots of beautiful bikes. Will be back for maintenance on some other bikes. read more

Guy was rude. Asked for a cheaper bike lock. He directed me to a "cheap store". Had like a superiority complex.

The best bike store in Jax Beach. The nicest staff and owner who are always so helpful. Always a good experience!

Called to see how long a tire repair would take. Said 15 mins so I drove on over and was in and out in less! Cool shop dog, too. Who doesn't love that lol $40 for beach cruiser tire repair. Chill dudes, would definitely go back in the future read more

I was not greeted by any of the three employees when I arrived, one was on his cellphone, the guy behind the counter was scheduling a doctors appointment and the third guy was just staring at me as I walked in with my bike, obviously needing service. I needed to have my chain swapped out as it had been sitting for a while and accumulated rust. I asked for this and immediately the tech was trying to upsell me on replacing my rear cassette as well...When I told him no, it looks fine to me with just some rust from the chain sitting on the intact cassette his response was, "I wouldn't say it looks fine". OK Bro, I get it, it's not perfect but guess what, I ride this all the time and know it does not need replacing. Thanks for the 10 speed chain on my 11 speed cassette which you didn't bother to mention or expect me to notice I guess. I won't be back. read more

WOW! What an awesome experience! It's so hard to find quality customer service these days and Don at Champion Cycling hit the nail on the head! Thank you so much for your time and expertice in finding the shoes and clips right for me as well as helping me get fitted perfectly to my bike (and of course recommending things I didn't need but wanted haha!). I will be sending people your way! Thank you again for your time and perfecting my ride :) Cheers, Kayley read more

I left my bicycle 3 wks ago called today to see if I could pick up They told me that they had lost the ticket offered to get on the job right away Did not seem to show any remorse read more

I recently took down my bike that was hanging from hooks in my garage for some twenty odd years. Cardiologist informed me to walk 30 minutes a day uninterrupted at a brisk pace. I elected to try bike riding instead. Tires were dry rotted but I managed to get two laps around the neighborhood before the rear tire started to come apart. After looking at several Yelp reviews I chose Champion Schwinn Cycling. Hector greeted me, briefly looked over the bike and informed me what it take at the minimum to bring the bike back into service. I signed the repair ticket with no restriction to cost. The turnaround wound be 4-5 days. A few hours later I was called by Chris who went over what he had done to the bike, the cost (very reasonable) and that it would be ready for pick up that evening. I picked up the bike the following day. This time I was greeted by the owner who offered me shifting guidelines and tire pressure requirements. The bike runs great especially with new tires. I highly recommend Champion Schwinn Cycling. read more

be careful & clear if you drop your bike off to get work done on it. i needed my rear tires replaced. they told me how much it cost and I dropped my bike off. when I picked it up they replaced the inner-tube, which I did not ask for or need, and a couple other things and said I owed them $30 extra for it. I feel like that's shady to do without asking the customer if they even want the extra work done. Then when I told him I don't think that's fair he said "whatever, uoire taking too long so we just won't charge you for the extra work". I paid the amount for the original agreement and he walked me out with my bike with frustration. Id never make anyone feel the way they made me feel - if I owned a business. Never going back. read more

Our two new bicycles needed gear/brake adjustments urgently. My sun and I planned to bicycle that week-end before he went back to college. Owner Don was very helpful, Kirk did an excellent job and both bikes were ready early Saturday morning, two days ahead of time. Kirk insisted we try the bikes before leaving the shop and took the time to teach us how to ride most efficiently. We had a good time that week-end. Thank you guys! read more

Don & Donnie went above and beyond for me. Stopped what they were doing to straighten 2 wheels for me when they were obviously busy. The whole crew were very attentive and sociable. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for your bicycle needs. BRAVO read more

They can be a bit pricey but depending on which bike mechanic you get, they can be extremely helpful (although sometimes I've had some not-so-friendly types). The thing that I really like about this bike shop, though, is the sense of community. They are constantly hosting and promoting different events. One of my favorites is the Ladies Nights. The only one I have been to was the bicycle maintenance workshop, which was absolutely free. It was extremely informative. They set up different stations and we were taught (hand on) how to clean and lube the chain and gears, how to change a tire, etc. Unfortunately, I missed the tire changing station somehow and spoke to one of the mechanics about how disappointed I was. He told me not to worry. He said, "Just come up here sometime and ask someone to teach you. If we're not busy, we'll be happy to do it." And so the next time I needed a new tube and tire, I did just that and they kept their word. I don't know if it's just a Jacksonville chain or if it's larger than that but it definitely feels like a good local bike shop. read more

Update 10/2020: Gotta give this local business some more love. Rob rented my girlfriend a road bike from here and let her borrow a brand new helmet for free. He fitted her on the bike and always great customer service. I'll always come here for bike purchases, gear, and service. read more

I can't emphasize how professional and friendly Rob and the entire team was! It was my birthday and I was really eager to get a bike put together. They immediately made time for me and helped unload and load it in my car. I should mention that the bike was a gift purchased from Wal-Mart, but I know that I will be buying all things bike and accessories from Champion. Great service, personality, and professionalism at it's finest. Thank you so much! read more

I'm only giving them four stores because I don't give out five stars. Quick efficient reasonably priced what more could you want?

Champion Schwinn Cycling and Fitness has been taking care of my bike for over ten years. They are experts at what they do, charge a fair price and helpful. I picked up my 10+ year old bike yesterday after a tune up and it rides like new. Thanks to Rob, Adam, Don and Brian! read more

Took two weeks for new disc brakes and a Derailer not great Service for some one who rides all the time

Johnathan, Brain, Joe & the rest of the crew at Champions have always done a great job repairing & servicing all of my bicycles. They get the job done right & in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for good honest service. read more

Went there to get my tubes replaced. Got home and one was completely flat. I live far away and the wouldn't give me a refund for the messed up tube and still kept the installation fee I paid. read more

4/5/2022-Stopped by to have my bike worked on. Told they are very busy with no room to store bike, said they would call me to let me know when to bring the bike in and gave me a ticket. 4/8/2022-Called to see when my bike could be brought in. Man who answered the phone was brusque and said they would call after 2 weeks saying they are very busy. 4/16/2022-Returned asking about possible appointment, told them about being given a ticket on the 5th. Employee looked and said there was no evidence of a prior ticket but bring in my bike today and they will get to it next week. 4/27/2022-Called and was told it hasn't been looked at yet!! Something about the ticket was misplaced. Told them I am coming to pickup my bike and get it out of there. Don apologized and promised my bike would be the next one he would be working on. Wonder of wonders Don called me ~2 hours later to pick up my ride. Thank you Don but Champion obviously doesn't need/want my business. It's another Cycle shop from now on. read more

My wife and I are in the market for an electric bike. Brian, the owner, and Jonathan, the store manager, could not be more helpful. They gave us tons of their time, and have allowed my wife and I to test drive the Giant Explore E +3 multiple time, and for more than ample duration. We could not be more happy with the customer service we've been given by all at Champion's Jax Beach store location. read more

I had an emergency tire change, in the middle of a long bike ride, I called them and they were ready to go when I arrived appreciate it, quickly got my bike on the rack, got new tires on it, gave me a new kit for my ride and had me out of there in less than 30 mins...Huge big shout out to one of the longest oldest bike stores in Jacksonville... So polite so friendly and quickly got me going again! read more

5 stars for all around perfect customer service and quality. Called from out of state to get my BF a bike and Brian not only recommended the perfect bike for my needs, but also built it next day and delivered it himself. Staff is super nice. Can't imagine going anywhere else for my bike needs. read more

I took my bike in for a basic tune up and the owner tried to give the 'ol filthy mechanic trick to replace everything on the bike. He wanted to replace tires, which I bought less than 4 months ago, chain and sprockets, cables, brakes, shocks, and derailleur (replaced same time as tires). After totaling up a bill of over $300 he then suggested I could just buy a new bike from him. The only thing my bike needed was a tune up! Oil gears and adjustments! I suggest steering clear of this tourist trap and going inland for bike repairs. This guy is a scam artist. read more

My girl friend and I thought it would be fun to bike around for 4th of July, so we booked two bikes from here. When we showed up, apparently they had so many people coming in and out with bikes, that they had rented out the last of the bikes. I was totally ready and ok with a refund, but the owner came out and said "grab two bikes off the floor, rip off the tags, and get them squared away". Two brand new bikes, just for us! That wasn't all, he also chatted with us while the staff got two bikes ready to go, and gave us some great recommendations. We were almost ready to go, but my girl friend couldn't find a parking spot (it being 4th of July and all), so I was waiting outside in the heat while she sorted out the parking problem. Once more, the owner came out, asked that I wait inside, offered me something to drink, and then told me to call my gf and let her know he could park there. This whole shop was awesome, and I can't say enough good things about them! Thank you to the staff and owner for giving us such a great beginning to our 4th of July! read more

This is the only shop I will visit in Jacksonville. Jonathon Matteson always steps up to handle anything I need and goes out of his way to take care of me. The same can be said for the rest of the guys in the shop. One of a kind service and a great group of guys! read more

Thank you Brian & Champion Team for great customer service and awesome rental beach cruisers!! Our Texan friend enjoyed riding along our amazing shoreline thanks to you!! With your rental bikes having the cup holder, integrated basket & bicycle lock, he was completely prepared to take in the fun stops between Atlantic Beach to Jax Beach! Will definitely rent bikes from you again!! read more

Complete disappointment after listening to friends who have come here previously. I ordered a bike from Champion on 6/29/13 and was told it would be ordered Monday. I understand there was a holiday on the fourth, but I was told the bike would definitely be ready by Friday 7/5/13. Still no bike and its Saturday, it sounds like they forgot to order it on Monday. UPDATE: So despite all the headaches the shop has completely redeemed themselves. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I have no complaints and do understand that sometimes shipping issues occur. read more
