Nice location, reasonable service! I just wish they opened earlier because I had to wait an hour for them to open to get help with a flat tire repair. 10 am is considered the late morning for me. read more

RIDE Cyclery - Bike Rentals Near Me - Encinitas, California

gotta say, I came in for a tuneup and was really shocked at the pricing. it was double of what I expected. Ended up getting a mobile tuneup for far less and several of the items Ride recommended were not immediately necessary. only got one of the items done out of 6-7 things recommended, and bike is riding fine. Maybe if I was a tri guy and had a 10k bike, but for me it was too steep. read more

I'm shocked by so many positive reviews. We came to rent a bike at 3 pm - they close at 5pm. Nonetheless, we were told it takes 30 min to get a bike ready for rental, the bike has to be back 30 min before closing, and we had to pay the 2 hour minimum even though they were only willing to rent it for an hour! Good thing there are other spots with bikes ready to go read more

5 stars for sure, just for hiring Josh. Had a problem with a very old wheel. Met Josh. Fixed it right up with great customer service. TBH, he was so good and welcoming I erroneously assumed he owned the place. While bike shops are not in my normal routine, I can't understand why anyone would go anywhere but here. Great experience. read more

The customer service and level of work at Ride Cyclery is top-notch! Not only did give my bike a great tune up, they helped me out with a few other specialty things that I needed in regards to this bike. They also communicated constantly over text with me which I greatly appreciated. This is MY bike shop going forward. Highly recommend. read more

Josh helped my son out with his e-bike twice. Unfortunately, we bought a lemon off of fb marketplace. Josh was great at helping us out! Quick honest service and reasonable prices. I'd highly recommend this shop. read more

another review for the terrific work done by Ride Cyclery on our family's e-bikes. Took my daughter in law & son's bikes in for tuneups, new chains & brake pads. Took care of everything & even loaned me a helmet at pickup when I forgot mine. Would t take our bikes anyplace else read more

I stopped in to Ride this morning as my bike was having some issues, forcing me to limp home the last 10 miles of my ride. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the shop is under new ownership / management. It's great to see Joe back in Encinitas. He knows his stuff and is very honest and trustworthy. When I stopped in Joe immediately stopped what he was working on in 15 minutes he had my problem resolved and I wad able to resume my ride. I will be taking my bike here for all future service work. Nice work! read more

Referred to them by my best friend for help with an indoor trainer, connected with Kevin. He was great, recommended a Saris Fluid 2 trainer that fit my budget and needs perfectly. Ordered and received in a couple of days, communication was excellent. Decided I needed the front tire block, the same deal had for me within a week. Next up is getting my bike tuned up, if you are in North San Diego County this is the shop to call! I live in Oceanside near Bonsall, these guys are totally worth the drive. I couldn't get a local shop to pay attention to me if lit my hair was on fire! read more

RIDE Cyclery - Bike Rentals Near Me - Encinitas, California

Great service. Quick and more than reasonably priced. Highly recommended for any repairs you may need

We rented some electric bikes from Ride and rode down to Del Mar. What a beautiful coastal ride. Love the dedicated bike path for most of the way. Efron was so nice to deal with and explained how to work the bikes as we had never ridden one before. Great shop to deal with. Well worth the visit. read more

Place is great! Techs know their stuff and can definitely take care of whatever bike maintenance issues you may have.

Knowledge staff running a small local business!:) Had the product I needed. 7 other bigger brand shops like trek and bicycle warehouse didnt have the part they had that I needed. read more

Beware of un-needed repairs. Went in for a tune up. Was told I needed a new chain. I was surprised and skeptical, but said ok. Brought my old chain home and measured to find out it had very little wear and was in spec. Paid $40 to have tubeless tire sealant refreshed. That's fine, but discovered I can do it easily for a couple of bucks myself. Lesson - be knowledgeable and ask questions. Otherwise, they seem to provide quality service. read more

I was recently in Encinitas for a few days. I didn't feel like bringing my bike with me, and a friend in the industry recommended RIDE Cyclery as a good place to rent a road bike. They set me up with a carbon fiber Cannondale with Shimano 105 -- it was my first time in awhile riding a carbon bike. The staff was kind enough to set me up with necessities like a tube and Co2 inflator. They also took extra time to dial in the fit (best to do that with a torque wrench handy, especially with carbon frames and seatposts). They really went the extra mile because I thought I'd brought my own pedals. As it turned out, I took them off my bike back home, but forgot to pack them! The RIDE guys just happened to have a sweet of the same kind I use. They really bailed me out! They also recommended some routes, as did a few customers hanging out. Rental was $80 for 24 hours. A very good rental/shop experience. I'll rent from them next time I'm around. read more

RIDE Cyclery - My rental bike from RIDE Cyclery. - Bike Rentals Near Me - Encinitas, California

Got a fixie kit and they were kind enough to help me iron out the kinks. Great guys, and all their gear for sale is reasonably priced. They service ebikes too read more

After a month of frustrations with Rad Power Bikes, looked this place up. No prior experience with them. They were fast, professional, and courteous. Took the time to explain what it needed and why, showed me, etc. good stuff. It was expensive, but the bike was ready within promised time. Easy in, easy out. No complaints, would go again if needed. read more

Second time working with RIDE. They built a couple Rad e-bikes for me. Very nice/professional group. Everything done right and on time...highly recommend. read more

Rented a nice Cannondale from them. Bike was ready, ran well, great staff. They make the process easy. I'll be back. Thom Degnan

I just took in 2 of our Rad bikes for service and the experience couldn't have been better. Brent came out to help me take off my bikes from my bike rack and that was really nice of him. I didn't expect him to do so, but it was a really nice gesture. He then went over in detail what needed to get done and this helped me understand the extent of work. Both bikes were ready in 2 days which was awesome considering they are my kids bikes and they wanted to ride them during Spring Break. I just dropped off bike #3 but wanted to write a quick Yelp review to share my positive experience. read more

So happy to have found them to repair a flat. I was in the middle of a ride on the 101 when I got a serious flat from a thorn puncture. I was able to make it to ride cyclery to see if they could fix it in the spot. They were awesome! They had the tube in stock, reasonably priced repair and had it done in 15 minutes. I appreciate their assistance and great service. read more

These guys are just awesome.. they know a lot about bikes but more importantly they care about the people and their experiences. I really like them all be back with all my bike needs! Super helpful folks. read more

Love the Red Barn for all my cycling needs. The repair guys are knowledgeable and helpful and give good suggestions. I like that they keep a good record of past repairs on their system so we discuss necessary or upcoming repairs. I like the location too with a nice patio with sometimes BBQs and sometimes beer for customers. Decent selection of bike accessories too. Shop local read more

Best bike shop experience ever and I have frequented bike shops for 30 years. So far I have been 3 times and each has net me exactly what I needed - and more! Max, Chase, (forgetting another name) and all of the guys are great but Adam the head mechanic is what puts this shop over the top. Oh, and the outdoor patio with ocean view while you wait. read more

RIDE Cyclery - Fresh air on the outdoor patio while Dr. Adam "bike god" repaired my front fork! - Bike Rentals Near Me - Encinitas, California

My son's ebike was in an accident and Ride was actually recommended to me by another bike shop as they couldn't manage the work or get the parts. Ride was friendly and efficient. When the parts were delayed they repaired the existing part and told me to come back and they would install the crank. They are the only bike shop that can handle Rad Bike repair in the Carlsbad/Encinitas area. The price charged for the work performed was reasonable and they communicated clearly and consistently throughout. read more

I was referred to Brett by a world champion bike rider friend of mine. I had an emergency ride I was doing with a friend and he fixed my brakes perfectly first time. He also went through my bike and found the motor mounts (e-bike) we're seriously loose. He fixed that too. I'm going back to him to add some serious SRAM drive train parts to my Turbo Levo Comp and I'm confident they'll do an awesome job! read more

What an awesome place...customer service is outstanding..willing to go above and beyond..They did a great job.. Very pleased with their can do attitude..thank you guys! read more

As I write this review it's worth noting that I ride bikes a lot. I appreciate the expertise of an excellent bicycle shop and frankly it's a very important part of my life. However, even if I was just a casual rider, these points would be just as relevant. There's no shortage of bike shops in Southern California. And many are good. But Ride Cyclery stands alone for me as the absolutely best for a few reasons. And if any of these resonate with you I would encourage you to go there for yourself. Competency is key. I'm no engineer but I value well built bikes and I care even more about quality work. Adam is the best mechanic I've ever come across in all my years of riding. He shoots me straight and tells me the magnitude of any issues I'm facing. He is clear about his ability to fix a problem before replacing the problem. That transparency and knowledge is so important to a cyclist. I should also add that Max is an incredible resource for me at Ride as well. He often does a lot of my work for me, and gives me a free tutorial whenever I'm interested. Cost is second. There's a multitude of shops that seem to have a standard response to problems: we can replace it for $..... While I'm not opposed to paying for a new product, my confidence in Ride is much higher knowing their honesty is always at the forefront when considering an issue on my bike. The relationships I have at Ride is the third reason I work with them. Not only do I value the friendships I've built with Max, Adam and the rest of the team, but these guys also know me well enough to make great suggestions for my bike or my riding experience. When I come to Ride I thoroughly enjoy the conversations I'm having. But the byproduct of those relationships is I have very knowledgeable people consistently recommending I try something out that is likely to fit what I want or need. For these three reasons I encourage anyone who's beginning to ride or an advanced rider to check out Ride Cyclery. You'll be as impressed as I am. read more

My new ebike from BLIX needed a mirror and the front fender was rubbing. 20 minutes later they installed the mirror and fixed the fender. The cost was reasonable and the guys were friendly. They just earned a customer. I highly recommend them. read more

Not friendly. Refused to change my tire because my chain had some rust on it... I had called down to insure they had time to change out a tire on a beach cruiser because I was a weekend. They said ya no problem. I have four kids and the plan was to take a ride down to San Elijo state beaches so I walked my bike down to their store. When the guy helping my me said I should change out the chain I simply said maybe next time. The guy said I will not replace the tire unless you buy a chain. I asked what the two had to do with each other. I looked at the other employees and they were just wide eyed. He said buy a chain or he would not change my tire. I am not sure why he acted like he did but we live near by and I let people know what kind of experience I had here... We just had an amazing experience at Hatch! Way better local vibe and great attitude! Positive and helpful. read more

Another 5 star visit. My road bike had to go in for multiple repairs, routine maintenance. I communicated with Brent, the owner and he was very transparent, helpful and fair in getting my bike back to safe shape. This is a professional shop and as I ride alone a lot and need to know that my road bike is dependable and in top, safe shape, I trust them for advice and maintenance. I highly recommend this place. read more

Had a great e bike rental experience. Staff is awesome, patient and knowledgeable!!!! If you want to do some fun cruising in north county this is the place to go. read more

Ride hooked me up on installing the rad wagon 4 tires it took rad power bikes 6 months to send me. I took my wheels in and they were installed straight away. A young man in the shop even talked me into installing the tire armor liners. The shop owner is a cool guy that has great customer service. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This shop has knowledgeable sales team and the best mechanics in the area. They know what they're doing. Adam has built multiple bikes for us and continues to repair any broken bikes. Honest and fair pricing. You pay for quality work...so don't expect it to be free. 10/10 read more

RIDE Cyclery - Bikes - Bike Rentals Near Me - Encinitas, California

Every bike shop I've ever been to treats you with this condescending attitude if you're not in head-to-toe spandex and just want a simple repair on your beach cruiser. Not the case at Ride Cyclery! Brent and the staff are super cool and seem to understand that most of us aren't bicycle repair experts. Thanks Ride, I'll be back! read more

I came here for my first time because I had no idea how to put the cleats on my new cycling shoes. The team was amazing!! Went above and beyond to educate me on the different type of cleats there are, and then Chase went ahead and put the cleats onto my cycling shoes! The other guys that were there were very Down to earth as well!! I noticed that when another client came in, both of the guys quickly acknowledged the client, and one of the guys knew him by name! He even asked if he was there for the brake pad! Not alot of businesses have such great rapport with clients or remember the client's needs, but they did. I will definitely be coming here for my cycling needs and possibly a bike :D read more

Top-notch service and an all-around great experience. Grabbed a few things here ahead of the Belgium Waffle Ride and these guys offered great advice and service. read more

I had my bottom bracket replaced to stop the creaking but it's still persisted, so Brent was able to figure out it was the speed play pedals and a known defect in the chainring of SRAM Force. So happy to have a mystery solved! Only experience like his could take care of it , highly recommended ! read more

I was referred here by my brother, and I can confidently say I am very pleased with this store in many ways. I rented a bike when mine was being repaired recently and I couldn't be happier with the set up. Best bike experience I have had. read more
