Perhaps the bigger places prey on tourists but Rooster Wheels Bike Shop is a true hole-in-a-wall in the best sense possible. On a random weekday afternoon, we got there as a dad and his two daughters were happily loading bikes into their car. One guy was finishing up his transaction and three more potentials customers came by...all while we had only been there the short time we were there. All this to say that William was juggling many things at once from repairs to sales to rentals and yet he never rushed anyone (including us). He seemed so kind and honest and very down to earth. He checked every single bike, filled tires with air as needed, and even let me have a wrench to adjust one of the bikes. Who does that?!??? So awesome. On the COVID front, he had the front roped off so customers aren't touching all the bikes, he wore a mask, & used sanitizer on every bike to disinfect and constantly sanitized his hands. Last random bit to share....William was great with my kids. Very gentle and encouraging to my younger kid by telling her she could learn to ride a bike and gave examples of his own kids learning at the ages they did! And his dog Pedal was such a well-behaved and sweet dog. If you're the kind of person that uses kids and dogs to gauge a person, let that be a nugget of info for you! What a lucky gem of a find for me and my family! We will be repeat customers. Thanks William!!!!

I brought both bikes to Bobcat and they did a great job on both bikes but that is not the end of it. They are not part changers but real troubleshooters!

I highly recommend this shop for all of your biking needs. Thanks Bobcat!

Craig and Bridgette, the owners of Bobcat Bicycles, are wonderful people and run a fantastic bike…read moreshop. I stopped by on 9 August 2025 to check out the new Specialized Turbo Levo 4s and Craig took the time to go over the features of the models I was interested in, reviewing the pros and cons for each bike. Craig was down-to-earth and trustworthy, sharing insights into how he decides what products he carries in the shop. His store manager, Robin, then took me on a guided test ride around the Salinas neighborhood. He took the time to let me explore some of the capabilities of the bike and answered all my questions. I spent the next two days doing more research, and after email exchanges with Bridgette after business hours, pulled the trigger on an orange 2026 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp on 12 August 2025. I believe in the principle that you buy the seller first, which is why I decided to buy from Craig and Bridgette. I felt they were good, high character people, and the awesome purchasing experience and post-sale customer service reinforced that feeling and conclusion. I cannot recommend Bobcat Bicycles enough...they are my go-to shop for servicing my Levo. I have also returned to the shop on several occasions, picking up new pedals, grips, and a couple of Specialized shirts and a pair of Specialized shorts at a great price. Craig was there each time greeting me like a welcomed, long time customer.

Edgar is a carbon fiber craftsman. He's been working carbon for bikes for fifteen years (at Calfee among other places). I drove down to Watsonville to meet him (I'm in the Bay Area). I was impressed and decided to leave my bike with him. I picked it back up seven days later. He replaced the aluminum drop out with a similar one and reworked and repainted the carbon fiber on the seatstay and chainstay to accommodate the new dropout. Total cost $450. I road the bike up Mt Tam yesterday and Mt Diablo the day before. Perfect! Thank you, Edgar.

I sent my frameset in and they were very prompt and courteous to let me know that they received it. They also requested the remainder of the total repair bill within days, so I was excited that it was done! Well, they never shipped me my frameset. Edgar kept giving me excuses and said it was on its way. Now he will not respond to my phone messages or e-mails anymore. I even left this review many months ago but he somehow had it removed. I'm posting this to protect the next person from not only losing their favorite bicycle frame, but your money too. I'm now out $400 AND my frame. Isn't that basically robbery?

DC-10, I should have left a review years ago…read more.... Folks, here's an honest review from one happy customer and someone who's known Doug for many years. 40+ yrs Doug is a sweet, down to earth gentlemen that knows his $h!t on just about everything. He can work on bicycles that many know him by, but he is so much more on motorcycles, race bikes, off road bikes and quads. Not many know he is a Salinas native whom at one time was an AMA Super-bike Champion Bad A$$ that toured the world.... I am honored to have him as my personal mechanic on my 93 GSXR 1100 for all my personal needs. I trust NO ONE to work on my toys but rest assured you can trust Doug to get things running right and done right the first time. His prices are comparable and knowing whatever he works on, you can rest easy knowing he treats it as his own. I've gone to other bike shops in Salinas, Monterey, Seaside, San Jose and non compare to the respect and quality of service I get from DC-10. I highly recommend Doug and his DC-10 shop for all your motorcycle repairs and needs. Loyalty, Honesty, Trustworthy, Workmanship. Five stars for me and a customer for life. Thanks DC-10 for all you do !!!
