The minute I arrived, my bike was triaged like a patient in the emergency ward, but without the wait. Andron's attention to detail elicited immediate trust from me. The atmosphere is like that of hanging out in your buddy's garage with great music and tons of random things to look at. When it came time to pay, I was shocked at the low price. Finally, I have found precision-minded mechanics I can trust at a price that can't be beat, but the experience alone is worth the ride out there!

I tried to give Velo Trap another chance after previously writing a negative review of this…read morebusiness, but Velo Trap has repeatedly proven they are a poor neighbor. This business lacks any regard or basic respect for its residential neighbors. At any given time, there are large groups of people congregated outside Velo Trap for 12-15 hours a day. They blast loud music at all hours. They have a yippy dog that often barks all day. They set up a red tent and bike gear on the side of the street where they are not located, which blocks through traffic in the alley. They block people from entering their own garages. The workers and patrons of Velo Trap chain smoke cigarettes and litter their cigarette butts all over others' property. Often, they set up chairs and bikes in front of other people's garages making it difficult to enter and exit our own residences. It seems like people are illegally living at Velo Trap. Even when Velo Trap is closed (on Sunday and Monday), dozens of people are gathered out front making noise and disturbing the neighbors at all hours. One night they kept playing Usher over and over at 1 in the morning. This area is residential. We shouldn't have to deal with Velo Trap's constant partying every single night of the week. The rent here is expensive, and we can't even peacefully enjoy our homes. This is entirely the owner's fault. He should know better than to allow this incredibly rude, inconsiderate behavior at his place of business, but he's too busy playing Peter Pan to the group of lost boys who need to find something else to do besides stand in front of his business for 12-15 hours a day. And on another note, organizing a mass bike ride to start at 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning in front of your business is completely disrespectful of your neighbors who are trying to sleep at the end of the work week. Again, the area is residential. This is beyond rude and inconsiderate. Velo Trap, you are an awful neighbor. The inconsideration and the audacity are unacceptable. If you need to party 12-15 hours a day, do it at your own home and stop bothering your neighbors.

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.

After 3 straight days of flat tires from my son riding to and from school, enough was enough. I…read moreeven had Slime tubes, which are a complete SCAM! I searched high and low online, and figured I needed a tube liner that protects against those hard short thorns. I decided to give this place a shot. Came in and they recommended tube liner, and a thicker tube. They showed me how to cut the corners off the liner, along with tapering them, and overlap them, so it doesn't rub against the tube and create a flat. Also, gave me a short tutorial on how to install them, I had read some people really struggle with it. The tubes I got were REALLY thick and heavy. The install of the liner and new thick tubes went off without a hitch, very simple, even a caveman could do it. 2 weeks later, no flats, even after finding up to 5 thorns in the tire one day. Appreciate all the advice, even advising my son take a different route, and stay off of anything that needs water to live. Thank you!

Luckily, it ended up being something minor, so they fixed it for me right there on the spot. They also helped me pick out a new bike seat since the one that came with my bike was extremely uncomfortable, and they even installed it for me. Since my bike is brand new and was already having issues, they gave me advice on how I could possibly get the repair cost reimbursed through the place I bought it from, which I really appreciated. On top of all that, they gave me a pamphlet with a bunch of local bike trails to check out. Overall, I had a really great experience and really appreciated how friendly and helpful Tim and Kevin were. I'll definitely be coming back if I need anything else for my bike!

Went to pick up the bike, everything seemed good but the next day the front tire became flat again. We never even rode it. Took it back and and explained what happened. "John" who worked there said he would not look at it or do it for free. He even accused us of riding the bike and puncturing it. We told him, how do we know you guys even fixed it? John was really rude and very unprofessional. We walked out of there and never going back to this run down place.

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.

Later, I received an email from Velofix saying the time was actually 11 AM-1 PM, but I didn't notice the change right away. On the morning of the appointment, I called Velofix to clarify, and the representative told me it was too late to adjust anything and that I should've contacted them earlier. I let it go and agreed to keep the 11-1 window, rearranging my work schedule to be available. No one showed up. At 1:30 PM, I had to call my wife to let her know, and she followed up with Velofix -- only to be told the case had been closed because the service was "out of scope." No one informed me. I was literally on the phone with them that same morning and they said nothing about not coming. This whole experience showed a complete lack of communication and disregard for people's time. I won't be using Velofix again and wouldn't recommend them.

We have…read moreused several repair shops in the past and it's such a pain to haul the bikes in (our bikes are really long with extra seating for the kiddos) and places have taken several weeks to fix just a simple flat tire. Don't even get me started on the attitude of the shop workers at Mike's Bikes in Folsom. SO RUDE. From booking the appointment to the actual service (by Wayne) the experience with Velofix was very friendly and professional and easy. Not to mention their rates were comparable to the shops where we had to haul the bikes in ourselves. To have the service come to you, have it fixed in under an hour, and everyone to be friendly about it? I didn't think this was possible! Also, after the last flat tire repair, where the shop had the bike for weeks, the bike did not sound the same. According to Wayne, whoever put our bike back together didn't do it properly and there were a ton of loose nuts etc. which I 100% believe because the bike did not sound the same when we were riding it. Wayne tightened all that stuff up for us (thanks Wayne!). Anyway, all around a great experience and we know who will be getting our business from now on. Also, to anyone researching bike repair places, I highly recommend looking on the bike manufacturer's website to see their recommended repair shops. Velofix was recommended by Rad Bikes and you can really tell the difference when someone is comfortable working with a particular bike brand.
