Friendly and helpful staff. Alex diagnosed and explained the issue, replaced my tube, and even adjusted my seat. The in-shop dog, Nick, is the cutest pitbull who made the trip even better. I'll be going back for my next bike repair. read more

Cycle Progression - Bikes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm a newbie to riding bikes and these guys are great with helping out! They definitely care for you as a customer and not as some $$$. I went in with some minor troubles and they tuned me up and lubed me up free of charge. These guys are great! read more

Called and asked if I could bring my bike in for service, they said sure, but WHEN I ARRIVED, that's when staff told me, "Our turnaround time right now is about two weeks, is that okay?" That's what they should have said WHEN I CALLED, before I went in. I said so, but the staffer didn't seem very concerned. So, I'd take off two stars for that. However, they were able to get my bike fixed up in only a week. So, for underpromising and overdelivering, they get an extra star. Service was neither exceptional nor poor, just decent bike service. read more

Best bike peddlers in ATX. Know their stuff. Caring and attentive. However, bicycle did not come with instructions on how to ride it. Trial and error...trial and error. read more

These guys really pay attention to detail. I wouldn't trust my Pivot 5.5 to any other shop.

Rude and unprofessional service from Alex. Swung by to grab a replacement tire and some spokes - was treated with total condescension the whole time and then rushed out with a "I'll e-mail you the receipt dude, I have something I'm trying to get back to" when I asked him to repeat the prices. Judging by other reviews for this place, maybe he's a bad apple or maybe he was having a bad day. Regardless, not how you treat a customer read more

I got Pivot Mach 429 trail, I love my bike. they are awesome nice people always help me out when I got problem with my bike. Go check them out, they have many pivot for rental too. read more

Cycle Progression - This bike totally change my life. A half marathon race, 2 Enduro races. More advanture to go Wohoo.. this photo from O-rock Enduro race. - Bikes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Knowledgeable staff that can always answer my questions. Extremely friendly and willing to help. I've brought several bikes in for repairs ranging from replacing brakes to installing cranks and they always take the time to help me figure out what I need. They also have a good selection of clothes, gloves, and other gear. By far, best bike shop in town! read more

I rented an SB115 Yeti bike from Cycle Progression for almost a week while visiting Austin. On pickup, the bike was in great condition and setup perfect for my weight. Customer service was great. Easy to reserve, with quick pickup and drop off. If you are looking for a serious mtb rental, this is the place to go. read more

BIG SHOUT OUT to this shop!!! I ran over a nail in my rear tire and had to run almost two miles in 105 degree weather after a 20 mile ride, and got there a little after they closed. They were so awesome to get my bike in afyer hours and help me get on my way. 1000% reccomend this shop read more

Excellent bike shop especially for the high-end mountain biker. I needed the bearings replaced on my full suspension 29er and I went to local shop where the bike was purchased. They gave me a price of $300 for parts and labor. I had heard that Cycle Progression had Intense bikes so I gave them a call. The price Alex gave me was $150 for parts and labor. "Oh hell yeah you got my business!" I went ahead and spend an additional $150 on other items since I was figuring on $300 for the total. Sine they were keeping the bike over the weekend they even offerred to loan FOR FREE a $2k bike so I could ride over the weekend. I have also taken my road bike here as well and been 100% satsfied with the work. They have always had the bike ready when they said it would be and the work is done right the first time. They lack a lot of the accessories but if you can wait a few days they can get you whatever you need. Suprised to find them amidst all the other bike shops within a few miles but they have won me as a loyal customer. read more

These are dedicated cyclists that love the sport and great gear. Boutique products and services without the attitude. If you want your best equipment treated right, this is your LBS. read more

Alex is a great guy and this shop is really worth a visit. I have had my bike in several times for repairs and they were always done expertly, on time. Once I broke the main pivot bolt on my bike and Alex actually contacted me. He opened the shop on a holiday and replaced the bolt for me while I waited. He carries Turner and Pivot, plus some other brands. They are real straight shooters, nice people to deal with. read more

My go-to shop for a long time, for a million reasons. Top of the list is that they can fix anything. Anything. I've blown up a small universe of different parts on a couple bikes, and they've always fixed it quickly, or scavenged something from the parts bin to hold me over until a specialty part came in. Top-notch service at very reasonable prices, without the attitude or the wait that comes from dealing with the bigger shops in town. Also saved my bacon more than a couple times, fixing my more-spectacular failed DIY attempts on very short notice. These are experienced bikers/racers that know the misery of being without a functioning ride, and will do anything to get you running ASAP. Flat-out great shop. read more

I am very happy with my service experience at Cycle Progression. After getting ripped off at two other Austin bike shops, I thankfully gave Cycle Progression a shot. They fixed problems that other shops couldn't fix and they did it at a very fair price. read more

Great bike shop in S Austin. If you are looking for top notch service and support, Cycle Progression is your place. Not only is the service good, but these guys will give you racing tips and local trail info. Highly recommended. read more

Total top notch guys that are stoked to get people riding. Very responsive and courteous.

Great group of people -- easy to work with and they know their stuff. Looking forward to the remodeled store.

These guys build custom bikes, and also seem to do bike rental. They have lots of mountain bikes.. My aluminum mountain bike frame was damaged beyond repair, and after an elaborate search through Austin's many bike stores and frame builders, I am happy that I found Cycle Progression. Emile and Alex found a good and affordable new frame for me (by Voodoo), and had it delivered within two days. They assembled it the same day so that I could continue on my road trip (by car) around the US without losing too much time. But what's even more amazing, they used parts that were already on my bike which other bike mechanics in Austin said would have to be replaced with brand new parts (such as an entirely new rear wheel, including rim, spokes, and hub, and a front derailleur). They also gave me a discount on the labor cost, and did a fine job at assembling the whole thing. These guys were really sympathetic about my situation, and helped me out within two days against a cost that no other bike store in Austin had offered me (in fact, most others tried to persuade me to trash the bike and buy a new one from their store). So if you ever have serious bike trouble, call Cycle Progression. They are amazing! read more

Just bought a Restrospec and I couldn't be happier with the bike. Great product, great price and great service. We'll definitely be back.

I bought a new dropper post online and tried installing it myself, but clipped the cable too short in the process. I called some local bike shops to have them complete the install, but everyone was super backed up. I reached out to Cycle Progression and they got back to me right away! They asked me to bring it in and they would do their best to get it done same day, regardless of their current work load. I know a dropper install doesn't take long (when you know what you're doing) but they went above and beyond to get me back in the saddle. I dropped my bike off and within two hours I was able to pick it up and get on the trails again. Thank you Cycle Progression! read more

Alex is a great asset to the ATX mountain bike community. The brands he chooses to carry, and his level of service are far above what you get from the larger, more mainstream bike stores in town. -P read more

I never write reviews, really. Never! But in this case something happened so remarkable in todays world of mediocrity that I just had to. I had never been to Cycle Progression before but own a Yeti SB100 and took it by on the advice of a friend for some routine maintenance. Nothing out of the ordinary with check in and turnaround time was pretty normal. The extraordinary service began when something went wrong. I received a call from Don letting me know that he had scratched my Yeti frame while servicing the bottom bracket. It was obvious that he was really torn up about it and that this does not happen very often, if at all. He wanted to meet with me face to face when I picked up the bike to be sure they did what was right to satisfy the issue. When I picked it up Don offered to take pictures and send them to Yeti if I wanted so they could tell us if it was at all structural or would cause any problems. When he showed it to me I was expecting the worst but it wasn't horrible and quite frankly seemed to me to fit right in with the other scratches on the bike. We ride hard on very rocky and technical trails so it goes w/o saying that this was not the 1st scratch on the bike. Had he not told me about it I most likely would have figured that I did it myself. That would have been the easy thing to do and sadly what most shops and technicians would do. Everyone can shine when things go right, the real test of a company or person is how problems or mistakes are handled. I will tell you that it is because of this attitude and the quality of the service provided that they are my new bike shop and I will be a walking advocate of theirs. Oh, and by the way he would not accept payment for the service although I was insistent that it would be OK if he did because I want shops like theirs to survive. read more

I stopped on one evening to find out more about buying a bike. I have trouble going within normal hours and Alex just happened to be in after hours so he let me stop in and chat with him! I can't believe the level of service I received. Even though I ended up buying a used bike from a friend, I will definitely come here for any other biking needs to be helped by amazing staff with amazing customer service. Thanks guys! read more

Best bike shop in the universe. I've been to almost every bike shop in Austin - and many around the world - and no other place even comes close in terms of service and attitude. These guys do it right and you'll never need to worry about finding another shop once you go in and get to know them. They're known for being a mountain bike-centric shop, and for good reason, but they know their road stuff too and will work on anything you bring in without any bs attitude. They know what's up and are in it for the right reasons. I'm now in the Bay Area where there's a bike shop within spitting distance of every street corner and people take their cycling damn seriously, and I've yet to find anywhere or anybody as close to badass as Alex, Emile, and Rich. Go see 'em and find out why. read more

Ever since my car went on the fritz I've been riding a loaner bike and the guys at Cycle Progression have been so nice in helping me out with it!! Feels good to support a LOCAL business and not some big box store or shop owned by a wealthy "athlete". read more

I had a broken spoke and after putting the bike on the rack, they found that it was a size they didn't carry (the bike has an IGH so the spokes on the rear are short). They removed the spoke so it wouldn't cause problems and gave it to me to take to Bicycle Sport Shop because they would probably have that size, and if they couldn't do the work today, Cycle Progression said bring the new spoke back and they'd install it for me. They also noticed a bolt was missing from my rack and replaced it at no charge. Also, they have a really nice dog. Will definitely go back for other needs. read more

On a quick whim, I gave Cycle Progression a try based on seeing their previous yelp reviews. I had previously gone to a large bike shop down the street and felt like I had been totally ripped. Definitely not the case here, the guys couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. I felt like I was getting service from a friend who was looking out for the best of both parties. Highly recommend this spot for high quality service and fair pricing. read more

Best Bikes, equipment and staff in town. I always get Alex and the guys to sort out any problem I have with my bike and its a top notch job every time. read more

I have been cycling for many years and have used most of the shops in Austin over the years. Cycle Progression has ended this for me. I will only use this shop from now on. The other shops in Austin should go in and take not of what true customer service is in a pure and natural state. Emil and Alex are sincere and care about what ever your current cycling needs might be. They give great advice and know the products well. They are not there to squeeeeeeze your last dollar out of you and when this is present in retail you gain loyalty. You don't have to worry if you are new to cycling or been around a long time they will discuss and help you make the right decision. CHEERS!! read more

All I need to know about this shop is that they now have Tim C, formerly at Austin TriCyclist, doing service. Tim has a great attitude, and he can do things that literally no one else in Austin can (e.g. rebuild my Cannondale Lefty). Austin TriCyclist said, "oh, we can send that fork to Cannondale to rebuild, and it will take two to four weeks." What? I asked. Someone here took care of it last time. "Yeah, that was Tim, but he's not here anymore. But here's his number." Hey, this just became a joint five-star review. I still love Austin TriCyclist, for reasons including that they pointed me to a different provider when that was the best way to serve me. And I now know Cycle Progression. Also, let me say how much I love Austin. I feel like the town loves me, given how much the bike shops are ready to care for my every need in such a professional way. read more

I haven't purchased a bike from these guys yet. But I always bring in my old bikes to them and they fix them at very very good prices. Very nice people. read more

We own bike stores in VA and D.C. Our daughter lives in Austin. We had the guys at Cycle Progression handle our daughter's bike (a build, some custom "stuff", etc). These guys are the absolute best. They really care, they communicate, they do what they promise they will do and they do it on time for a really fair price. We are thrilled with their service and honesty - these guys simply are THE BEST. read more

Love these guys. Will echo what others have said.....they are very knowledgable, down to earth, and have a big passion for riding.

Emile helped me pick out and build the most gorgeous, sweet ride I could have possibly gotten ... And we stayed in my budget. I can't imagine ever wanting another bike. Since then we have taken all our bikes here for repairs and tune ups. Even the kids bikes ... and they just take care of what needs fixing and always give us a fair price. These guys really know bikes and I totally recommend them!! read more

My go to bike shop, and the competition is fierce here in Austin. These guys are terrific. Tim, my favorite, takes the time to answer my questions and repair and fit my bike perfectly. Our team, Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza, take all our bikes here for repairs. I have purchased 3 bikes from these guys. Each experience has been better than the last. Thanks for all you have done. I am a faster and more technical rider since I walked through your doors. read more

I live a block from this place but, after a few visits, would prefer to ride (or walk) to the Peddler, eight or ten blocks further away. I took an old Peugeot in for a replacement brake cable; one of the guys put the cable on but told me that the slot in the brake lever that held the cable was broken, and that I'd need entirely new levers; I went home and inserted the cable myself with needle-nose pliers; it took longer than it normally would have, though, so I'm assuming that the guy either a) didn't want to spend ten extra minutes on a cheap repair and decided to try and up-sell me instead, or b) didn't know what he was talking about, since I've had precisely zero problems with this brake in the last month or so. Another of the guys (different guy) was a little condescending when answering a couple of basic questions, and got defensive when I asked clarifying questions about his answers. Even if I were asking totally bone-headedly stupid questions, you'd think the guy would, like, just be polite. I would assume that this is especially important at a new-ish store that I would assume wants to build rapport with nearby customers. But to make up for it, the guys have a great sense of humor: the lack of a bike rack in front of a bike store is sheer ironic genius. read more

Really nice people and didn't make me feel stupid for knowing nothing, still comparing where to buy my bike but I do have my eye on one here. Thanks Alex! read more

TOP NOTCH service and advice. Blew out my fork nearly 2 months ago and they had it back to me the next day and I couldn't be happier. Love the new location! read more

Cycle progression met every one of my demands and more! Emily helped me pick out the best bike that was the best bang for my buck. Their selection is grest, prices are very competitive and I think this is hands down the best bike shop in Austin. I've also used them for bike repairs and they never let me down. Turn around time is very quick and their bike techs really know their stuff. Don't waste your time shopping at other places, just come here instead. read more
