    Before the upgrades.
    Bill L.

    I have been going to several local bike shops in the area and this latest LBS, In Velo Veritas is unique and inviting to visit. Kevin the owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about the bike industry and he carries some exotic brands. You can get custom built bikes to USA made bikes. Kevin help me upgraded my groupset and wheels to Campagnolo components. I was very pleased with the result and enjoyed the ride. I would highly recommend and support In Velo Veritas and I hope you will feel the same about this LBS.

    IVV is a newly opened shop in town, and when I saw they offered a cable dampening service, I took the opportunity to check out their store and to scheduled a time to bring my rattle-y Cannondale in for a treatment. I couldn't be more stoked on how the bike feels post-service, it's an absolute night and day difference from before to after. Kevin took great care to make sure I was happy with the service, and the end results are top notch. If you're looking for high end road or gravel bikes or bike parts, or hands on service for your rig, don't hesitate to book an appointment at In Velo Veritas!

    Finishing touch.

The kids' bikes are in the back right corner. Everything looks really nice and seems to be good quality. The service was excellent. All my questions were answered and they had my cruiser ready within 30 minutes. The parking lot is free to park in. The shop is wheelchair accessible. They have stairs and a ramp at the entrance, along with automatic doors. You can walk around the city while you're waiting for your bike. There's several cafes and restaurants within 5-10 minute walking distance. You could visit the State Capitol. Forewarning: You're going to pay, at minimum, $600 for an adult bike. Even a kid's bike starts at $350... If you need extra parts and accessories, I would recommend you buy them off of Amazon or somewhere cheaper. To give you an example: a tire pump here is over $100.

My hubby and I are not experienced or race at all but we still got a great deal on a base line bicycle which is perfect for our daily exercise ride. The employees were knowledgable and very helpful. I love the fact that they do repairs in house and it's in the midtown area so you can always drop off and walk around until your bike is ready for pick up.

    I'm new to cycling and have a budget bike (bought from Walmart) and so naturally, if something…read morefeels off, I'm no expert on the subject. During my lunch, I've been taking my bike to various bike shops around the midtown Sacramento area to browse around and ask general cycling questions or assistance with my bike if I feel like something doesn't feel right. Overall, my experience with various shops have been just okay. I would get the feeling that because I do not have an expensive bike, that I'm looked at differently. However, with Pacos, the staff here are EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. I brought my bike in with some concerns regarding my gears shifting, and Pancho took my bike onto the rack to inspect it. I was prepared to be given a diagnosis and perhaps a quote to see how much they would charge if I had them fix/adjust it for me. Instead, Pancho just took it upon himself to make these micro adjustments himself and even identified that my front derailleur was crooked and my front wheel was loose. Again, Pancho just made those adjustments himself to make sure everything was properly before I left the store. On top of that, I was not charged a dime. Totally unexpected, but highly appreciated! Fast forward to my second time coming to this shop, I was greeted by different staff. Yet, it was still the same high, friendly energy as the last time. Ayrton was there to assist and help me identify and issue I was having with my brakes. The way he spoke to me and went above and beyond to find answers he himself didn't know was much appreciated. Ayrton is a very friendly and outgoing guy and made sure I was taken care of before I left. The culture and energy of the staff here have been a fantastic experience and I highly recommend any cyclist to visit this store! Their inventory was impressive, the store is spacious and clean, and if I ever need cycling services, I am definitely coming back.

I'm in my 20s now and know absolutely zilch about bikes. My chain snapped and I brought it into the bike kitchen. I paid $10 cash for the shop fee and immediately a volunteer helped me mount up my bike and get to work. He was so welcoming and fun to work with. We evaluated whether or not my chain was salvageable, and decided we should take a few links from a chain in the back, and add it to mine. It was only $3, and from there he taught me everything about repairing a chain. He was so nice and helpful, I used the tools and he kept watch to make sure I was doing it right. Sometimes that can be stressful, but he made sure it was a fun environment and we laughed almost the whole time. I could not recommend this place more. For them, its really just about the bikes. It felt amazing to fix it myself, and learn something about my bicycle. The volunteer also helped inspect my bike to make sure nothing else needed fixing. He explained it like, "you already paid the shop fee, lets see what else we can do". I hope I learn enough to volunteer here one day. Truly a 10/10 experience.

For kids up to 17 years old, bikes are free. A lot of low income or immigrants families benefit from this offering. Every second Saturday of the month, they host open bar nights with live music: check out their website for the artist lineup! One of their workshops was even a Bike Jewelry Workshop where people made jewelry from bike parts. SBK is focused on making cycling affordable and accessible while teaching bike maintenance and safety classes to help people become more independent riders. Besides the bike shop, they also do community outreach projects and are always looking for volunteers if you're interested in helping out!

    You may have heard the saying "you never forget how to ride a bike". Well, I (embarrassingly) am…read morethe exception to that rule. It's been a long time since I have ridden a bike, and getting back into the swing of things was quite a challenge for me. I just recently retired from my job and found myself with more leisure time to spend with myself and to even start getting into an exercising regimen. Since my BF started his own fitness program to lose weight and improve his health, I decided to join in a little at a time. That's when we brought out all the old bicycles and determine what we were going to commit to. During this time we found out maintenance was needed before we could comfortably get started. I looked up bike shops on Yelp and found The Greenhaven Bike Shop not too far from where we lived. While we were there, Joe K fell in love with one of their Trek models on display and for sale. He ended up making the purchase. He also got his racing bike repaired at the same time. We spent some educational time with the staff members who were extremely nice and patient with us even through a probable painstaking amount of question and answer sessions. They really know their stuff! Their fees are very reasonable too! Joe and I agreed that this shop will be our number one place to go for continued bike maintenance.

    February 2025 review. Owner is Damien who absolutely ripped me off. I never wanna slam a small…read morebusiness ever but the receipt just goes to show everything. I went in to get my bike tuned up and tires changed because it was due time. I rode my bike once a week, love my bike, generally no issues at all. The initial quote was $225 for tune up and new tires change (me bringing the tires.) When Damien assessed the bike (the owner), he said there were some things wrong with my brakes and he wanted to bleed them and fix the brake wiring. I had no issues with my brakes whatsoever but he seemed honest at the time, so I agreed. The new quote was for $420 for fixing brakes, tune up, and new tires. Meanwhile my bike is in the shop 1 week now. $420 was very expensive to me, but I just went with his opinion. Fast forward, this guy Damien calls me again and says he found issues with my wheel and needs to redo some of the hardware on the rims, he literally over the phone told me it might be $30 more. I say fine whatever. Damien calls me to tell me the bike is done, this is two weeks now. And I go to pick it up. When I pick it up the bike was $610!!!!! This was absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. I argue with him because he never ever told me the price would be in the $600 range! I would have never agreed to that. I have to argue with him a little and he only takes the total down to $570! This bike shop is completely unprofessional. At what point would I approve $200 worth of fixing on rims? For my total to go from $420 to $610. Damien is completely dishonest, and never told me the costs and added so many unapproved costs. Why would I pay you $40 to clean my bike, I never asked you to do that yet you charged me for that! I will never bring my bike again to this place. The owner is a crook, the receipt does not lie!
