    Person riding a bike on a paved road with evergreen trees behind them.
    Josh J.

    Staff here truly go above and beyond to help! As a newcomer to the biking world and someone not very mechanically inclined (I don't even like airing up my own tires), I was thrilled to find Westside Bicycle after the shop where I originally bought my bike moved. Chad and the entire team are amazing. When I first visited, Chad immediately checked my bike and gears, fixing an issue with the gear switching on the spot. Whenever I plan a big trip, the team is always happy to check my bike for safety to ensure a smooth journey. What really stands out is that before my flight to Hawaii on Tuesday, Chad offered to stay late to pack my bike so it could fly with me. Thank you, Chad!

    Not just bicycles!

    I purchased a knee scooter which required the tires to be filled. After trying 5 pumps I went to Westside. Apparently the stem design was unique and although they didn't have a pump that worked, they filled my tires and were very helpful. Great customer service!

    This is the best cycle shop I have ever been to. Every time I have taken them a bike to repair they have it done impressively fast. Very knowledgeable staff that understands the needs of my wide array of bikes, especially my prized customized vintage 12 speed. They helped me find a good powder coat finish expert. They have helped me locate numerous hard to find parts. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. I would highly recommend their store and repair department. Please check them out.

    100% recommend. The staff are super helpful and pleasant. Informative and patient when asked why and how and even were willing to show and explain.

    I found them through the Rocky Mountain website. The reaper "24 was sold out online, and local stores near me didn't have it in stock and won't have it till late April. Their employees were helpful and courteous and were patient with my son. They even gave my son a complimentary POC hat.

    Came here to get a bike (obviously) and had a great experience! I came in with zero cycling…read moreknowledge, and the folks there were super helpful in giving me some guidance about the different types of bikes. I was originally looking for a used bike but they only had two in my size that were both road bikes. I tried them both but ended up going with a new gravel bike that was a bit more all-purpose! They have a lot across the street where you can try out the bikes for as long as you need. I ended up testing out four diff bikes, and they were super nice about all of it even though it took me forever. They didn't have the color I wanted, but they let me know how to order it online and have it shipped there so they could build the bike for me. They said doing it this way is the same as buying directly from the store! I still get all the benefits like 30 days of free accessories installation and such. My partner also got a used bike that was in great condition!

    I was gifted a Trek 1000 bike that needed some work. No saddle, rusty chain, and missing pedals…read more Kirk took the time to diagnose the bike and personalized the riding experience for me. I chatted with him while he fixed my bike and all of the prices were transparent with no hidden cost. What I love about recycled cycles is the fact that I can learn as I go and at my own pace. Kirk, like the rest of the staff appear passionate about cycling and the rider. I love knowing that parts that I am using are being given a new life. With the diagnosis, we figured out what we I'll address now to ride the bike and what I will need to up keep and maintain 3 months from now. What a great service and experience. 10 stars.

    I'm just getting back into bike commuting, and I've been very happy with my experience at Montlake…read moreBike Shop. They've been very patient with my questions, and have had a really quick turnaround time with service. I will continue to recommend them to my friends.

    UPDATE: After posting this review, it somehow got worse. On a later visit, an employee -- who I…read moreunderstand may be a part-owner -- confronted me about the review, followed me out of the store, and called me a "chicken shit" on my way out, blaming me yet again for the entire situation. I'll let that speak for itself. A business that responds to honest, factual feedback by chasing a paying customer out the door and throwing insults has told you everything you need to know about how it treats people. This update wasn't something I went looking for -- it just confirms the exact pattern I described above. REVIEW: I'll stick to the facts. I spent over $6,000 at this shop -- and apparently that doesn't buy you even baseline customer service. I bought my bike here, and after a front wheel/tire failure caused a crash, I went through a Giant warranty claim with Montlake. The product side eventually got resolved, but dealing with them was frustrating from start to finish -- and the real problem wasn't the logistics, it was the attitude. From the beginning, I got the clear sense the shop saw me as an inconvenience rather than a customer. Communication was poor across essentially everyone I dealt with: no timely updates, no callbacks, no straight answers, and I was the one chasing them at every step. More than the delays, it was the tone -- dismissive, condescending, and openly impatient any time I asked a reasonable question about my own bike. One phone call summed up the whole experience. A staff member told me to "chill out dude, you got a new bike even though it was your fault you crashed it," and to stop "beating a dead horse." Talked down to, blamed, and brushed off in a single call. It's also just wrong -- it reflects a basic misunderstanding of how Giant's warranty and crash-replacement programs actually work. I don't expect a shop to agree with me on everything, but I do expect basic respect -- especially as a customer who put thousands of dollars into this place. The product issue got sorted out eventually; the attitude is why I won't be back, and why I'd point other riders elsewhere.

    If you have a normal bike, I'm sure Alki Bike and Board Shop can handle it…read more If you have a mildly complicated bike, definitely go there. If, however, you have a questionably overpowered long-tail cargo bike running a custom Bafang BBSHD mid-drive setup that may or may not have been engineered during a caffeine-fueled "more capability and power is always a good idea" phase... these are your people. I rolled in with what can only be described as a mechanical riddle wrapped in an enigma of wiring harnesses and torque sensors. My Bafang BBSHD setup had become inhabited by a small tribe of mean spirited electrical gremlins. I'm capable with bike mechanics, but this had gotten over my head - I was bracing for a massive bill (maybe significant part replacements). Instead, the team at Alki Bike & Board just... handled it. Calmly. Confidently. No drama. No upsell. Just pure competence. The bill was less than 1/10 what I had expected. This crew is overseen by a guy called Dayton - I'm not sure if he is more Thor or Hercules. On one hand, he seems like he could summon lightning directly into a mid-drive motor. On the other hand, he has the calm, slightly amused strength of someone who has already defeated twelve labors involving stripped bolts and cross-threaded bottom brackets. Either way, the man is operating on a different plane. He diagnosed the issues quickly, explained everything in plain English (instead of "mystical bike wizard dialect"), and fixed the whole situation for a small fraction of what I was mentally preparing to pay. I didn't believe him when he told me. Bottom line: Extremely knowledgeable Honest pricing No ego, no attitude Dayton = certified bike demi-god If you are near West Seattle and your bike needs anything beyond a gentle pat on the saddle, this is the spot. 10/10. Will bring my mechanical chaos machine back henceforth!
