I first took my old Trek to a pro bike shop to try to get it back on the road (it had 2 flat tires & had been sitting covered on an outdoor patio for 2 years or so). The pro shop quoted $600-$700 which was more than I originally paid for the bike & basically said it wasn't worth it to repair... like, what?!?! Thankfully, I discovered The Bikery. Super knowledgeable & friendly staff who got my old bike ready to ride again (basic tune-up, straightened back tire, replaced inner tube with one that I already had, new chain & brakes) for ~$176. Exactly what I was hoping for in service & reasonable prices. Parking can be tricky, but GO HERE! Support this local, community bike shop. read more

I purchased a bike for my son. He loves it. The price was great and my son always asks when we're going back every time I go there it's a good experience. read more

I went to Cycles of Change for a broken spoke. There was a bit of a wait because they were understaffed at the time. And the initial person I spoke with was not very knowledgeable. She initially told me they did not have a new wheel that would fit my bike, but in the end I was able to speak to the mechanic who set her straight and showed me a bunch of workable wheels. The mechanic knew her stuff. And did the wheel change in approximately 30 minutes while I waited. She had told me the cost prior to the repair to get approval. When I was run up, the cost was exactly $10 higher. I just let it go. Parking was obtainable within 1 block. Its a little bit of dicey area, so I wouldn't walk around too much or leave your car for too long. Overall, a decent small repair shop. read more

The Bikery in Oakland is a fantastic local bike shop that's become my go-to for repairs. Conveniently located between Jingletown and Fruitvale, their friendly staff is always ready to help. They've installed new tubes, tires, and recently, I learned to fix my brakes during a free workshop after buying their specially recommended super grip brakes. It was not only educational but saved me money, so it was super affordable and gave me new skills. If you're looking for a cute community-focused bike shop close by, that advocates for your rights, The Bikery is the place to be! read more

Bought a legit 22" Rockhopper frame from Benji. He knew exactly what I was looking for and hooked me up with everything needed for around a 180 bucks including the frame. I had already procured 60 percent of this build, but Benji really made extra sweet with the frame deal. As with all these bike restomod shops, expert advice was also provided. See pics for end result. read more

Fucking sliding scale my ass, I made an appointment and told them exactly what I was looking for and how much I wanted to spend, as per their little form. I get there and no one even knew I had the appointment and then the only offer they made me was for a hundred dollars over my price range for an "as is". You want to be the hipster ass bike shop that rips off techies go for it but don't fucking advertise that you're sliding scale if you're not actually gonna work with people at all. Pissed me off good read more

Love San, Carolina and Mario! They were so welcoming and easy to talk to. I felt safe and comfortable in their presence and loved that they didn't judge me for my lack of knowledge on bikes. Before coming into the shop I called and San was informative and patient with all the questions that I asked. Upon arrival, they made sure that only a limited amount of customers could be inside so that we could take pandemic precautions. Both Carolina and San took their time to ensure that I was getting the supplies I needed and gave my bike the love it deserved. During maintenance it felt like I was just talking to friends! Highly recommend this bike shop to anyone and am definitely coming here for all my bike needs. read more

Great prices and mechanics! Thank you for all your help getting my bike fixed! A bunch of bikes for affordable prices

Oh my goodness, what a hidden gem. I was looking for a front wheel for my kid's bike (he left it locked poorly overnight). This was the only place that carefully looked at photos of the bike, looked to see if they had a tire (bike is vintage) and they quoted a fair price. The people working there are all really nice and helpful. I would totally come back. read more

I came is with my full suspension Ripmo AF. I wanted to swap seat post droppers. It was a trial and error masterpiece, but Dart was able to figure it out and same me home the same day. Other shops refused to work on it, while Dart said let's take a look. This is easily my favorite bike shop ever. Great prices, great, quick service. I am here right now with my rode bike to get a new back rim. Again other shops said they could have it back to me in a week, I will have my bike from here in the next 30 minutes!! Thanks again Bikery!! I'll be back read more

Great neighborhood spot with good, quick service, reasonable prices. Took my bike in on Friday for a tune up and to help secure the back rack and basket on my road bike. They asked to make sure it was okay if they just did what they thought the bike needed. I told em it was cool as long as they stayed close to my budget. Told me they could probably have it done Tuesday. Got a call it was done on Monday. Did a bunch of great work. Replaced cables, brake pads, detailer, chain. I rode the bike away and felt very solid and smooth. Definitely recommend this place and will be returning for sure. read more

Fantastic bike shop with great service and a great cause. I am planning to do a triathlon and haven't seriously rode a bike in a decade. I got a bike from here and it was too big. They kindly let me trade it in for a bike that fit just right. The best part is the $$ goes to community programs that help kids and adults alike with various bike needs. They also take donations. read more

These guys are great! I've now had three bikes repaired here and their work is exemplary and efficient. Would highly recommend them. They are also nonprofit as they do community services with youth of color. Please make donations to them even if you don't have a bike read more

These guys were leading a bicycling education event for a middle school (Bret Harte) on my street today: three adults leading an orderly line of about thirty middle schoolers biking around local streets (I talked to one of the leaders briefly, which is how I knew it was Cycles of Change). It was an impressive sight, and also got me wondering why I've never seen kids being taught bike skills before. I mean, everyone does drivers' ed, but nobody ever taught me biker's ed; I had to figure that all out on my own. Anyway, respect to Cycles of Change for teaching bike skills to kids and introducing the next generation of cyclists. It's a hard task in a city with limited bike infrastructure like Oakland, but they seemed to be doing a good job of it from what I could see. read more

I had a great experience here for basic repairs on my bike. The staff is really helpful and knowledgeable, and the prices are very reasonable. Plus, they are a community-based organization that does great work with bike education for kids cyclesofchange.org. read more

These guys are awesome! Donate your bike that has been collecting dust or buy a refurbished one (I did)! So glad places like this exist, supporting the local community and teaching kids new skills. read more

i had a great experience here! i recently purchased a used bike and brought it here for a tune up. one cool thing they do is allow you to authorize repairs under a certain amount. in my case i asked for a tune up, flat repair, and anything else that needed to be done under $200. i'm really pleased with the repairs, but even more happy with how i was treated. when i picked up the bike i needed to fit it in the back of my trunk, and one of the folks from the bikery spent about 15 minutes showing me how to take off the front wheel and put it back on in order to fit it in my car. they took the time to speak with me, educate me, and made sure i was confident with how to put the wheel back on before sending me off. lovely people!! read more

I'm so thrilled about the bike I recently purchased at The Bikery. I certainly got lucky w/ this one. Once i picked out the bike i wanted from their entirely donated selection, it received meticulous care and fine tuning from a few different skilled staff members. The price I paid was exceptionally reasonable, if not downright low for the quality machine I obtained. Everyone at this excellent community resource is warm and friendly from the staff to the interns. You definitely won't get the hasty sales push that you will get at many bike shops. I know a couple of the staff personally and greatly admire their convictions about what they are trying to creating with the Bikery. If you don't actually need a bike now, I encourage you to check out how this resource is out there creating change. read more

I rolled in here on a Thursday after riding right past it (bit hard to notice) to volunteer my services as a mechanic. The staffed volunteers there were SO friendly and so happy that I was there to help. Genuinely good people with good hearts; people who want to see change in their community and the world. The shop is not very stocked though: they don't have all the tools you'd need or the parts but if you come in there they will absolutely try their best and do whatever they can to help you. Also check out Street Level Cycles in South Berkeley on the waterfront. read more

Great community bike shop for all your cycle needs. I went during covid time to get a new commuter bike and there were plenty of options at a good price range.

Just got back. Purchased a used bike for my wife. They also provided a kids bike for free that my son can grow into. It was very easy to make an appointment. We showed up on time and it only took about 30-40 minutes. Recommend donating old bikes to them. Will be back in the future! read more

Great prices, great mission. Slow service. I walked in and immediately found a bike I lived. Unfortunately, I wanted them to add a rack and that took 30 min. I was in a rush so this was a little annoying. I would definitely go back but I would make sure I had plenty of time. read more

Great crew, they're part of the neighborhood, some of them grew up in the neighborhood, the Bikery is a real essential resource for local youth, anybody who needs bike help, and the East Bay. read more

Just bought a bike, helmet and U-lock at the Bikery for a really great deal! The folks were super friendly and knowledgeable. Sylvia helped me and gave me some good tips because I haven't biked in a city before. While I was there, there were also high school interns working on building their own bikes. Overall, awesome community vibes here and really knowledgeable staff. I'll definitely be making this my local shop! read more

Such a wonderful community-centered bike shop! The staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. They have great, affordable bikes and bike parts. And they hold amazing events to empower the local community around bike education and safety. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable and casual staff. I felt confident about getting a quality used bike here. Very limited selection, but I was nonetheless offered to test ride and choose from two different bikes that fit my needs and stature. Lent me a helmet to test ride, watched my bag... attached a kickstand and rack while I waited and noshed on some yummy veggie lasagna made by an intern. Their web Site says they sell affordable bikes, and that's way true. Looking forward to learning more about maintaining my ride from them and checking out the Women's/Trans/Genderqueer nights. read more

these guys are awesome! we had a flat tire emergency and rushed down there just barely making it by closing time. but they were really cool about it, and im so appreciative cuz i know they have lives outside of work they wanna go enjoy... while i waited outside while they fixed my friend's flat tire in no time and for a really cheap cost, i got to reading about their mission. how awesome! i want to go back and learn how to fix my bike myself. how awesome that would feel to be able to do! i like that they provide kids and folks the opportunity to learn some skills, and have something positive and interesting and fun to get involved in with their community. i cant wait to go back and get my hands dirty! after they humbly saved the day for us, we promised we would spread the word and give props for the help they gave us and the service theyre providing to the community read more

Love this spot. Incredibly convenient place to pick up new tubes/tires/whatever you need for your bike, with friendly staff to answer your questions. Good selection of rebuilt used bikes for sale at affordable prices. Bonus: It's a Cycles of Change shop, so kids get a chance to learn bicycle mechanics and earn bikes of their own. Just an all-around excellent organization. read more

So I went to the bikery again today to get my tire tubes fixed because I ran over a pothole and they popped :/ But when I got there I was greeted with the same professionalism as I had experienced on my first visit. Everyone was so kind and went out of their way to help me. Their service is exceptional considering how reasonable in price everything is! There is a true sense of community and outreach there, which is what will continue lure me to the bikery. I also saw Eugene again today and he was stoked to see that I was enjoying my purchase. They genuinely care at the bikery! go there or be square!!!! read more

I'm new to bikes - well, it's been a few years - and just bought one that was build out of box. I'm handy, so I did okay with it, but had no idea what to do with the brakes, and wanted someone to check my work and help me put on the headlight which I had no clear instructions for. I found The Bikery on yelp and realized it was only a few blocks away so I walked myself and my bike down and asked if they could help me out. San was *super* helpful, squared away my brakes and light, checked over my work and made a couple of adjustments, and got me set with the lock and helmet that I also needed. Both the service and goods were super affordable, the shop was a great atmosphere, and it was really great to hear about the community projects they run as well! I'll definitely come back when I need anything bike-related - they're so professional and friendly and I'm glad it was so easy to find someone nearby who could help me out! read more

While parts availability is not as good as it could be, these guys are really trying to make a difference and are supporting bicycling in an underserved neighborhood. I found service to be very helpful and friendly. Will become a repeat customer. read more

What an amazing organization! Just purchased the bike of my dreams thanks to Binky, Mo and Eugene. Thank you for all that you do! I will never go anywhere else for repairs or purchases, and will most definitely spread the word. Thank you so much :) read more

I LOVE THE BIKERY!!! staff are amazing, what it's trying to do is amazing, youths there are amazing, people who gather there are amazing - there is just so much goodness at the bikery. i occasionally visit the bikery on the sugarbelly nights (bike shop open hours for women, trans, and queer folks) and i'm looking forward to learning more about bike mechanics in an open, welcoming environment!! read more

These guys are so awesome, helpful and informative. I got a used bike for myself and San helped me fix everything. It really is a place full of community vibes. read more
