“The small shop on East William Street, with bikes locked out front and tires hanging from the ceiling, is a real neighborhood gem. Trends have come and gone over the years, but Bicycle Express owners Karen and Chuck Clifford have managed to ride them all”

I just moved to San Jose and wanted to get a bike to commute to work. My roommates girlfriend recommended bicycle express and somewhere I could get a cheaper used bike. I ended up buying a brand new Raleigh on sale and am very happy with it. The whole staff made the experience low pressure and easy. When I wanted to return the bike the next day because it was too small they worked something out for me and I got a size up. This is one of those family owned shops where service feels personal and friendly with no bs. Harder and harder to find them.

Got new tires and tubes installed on my road bike. I left the bike sitting for weeks and when I finally went to ride it one of the tubes was flat. I brought my bike back in to Bicycle Express and they replaced the tube for me free of charge. Was happy they did not try and blame me for the tube being flat. I am happy to support businesses that are stand by their products and have trust in their customers.
2/21/2021Found this place after trying to get a heavy duty rear rim. One place was to expensive and couldn't find the rim I needed. The other place only does flat tire repair. I found this place doing a Google search. I came in, I ask what I needed. They had the rim I needed, and it was hand made. I was in an out in about 1 1/2 hours. I would recommend this place, and I will go back for any repair.
7/16/2020Recently I got a flat tire, so stopped by to get a new tube. Bought a backup one too since the price was really reasonable. However the tube went loose and released air without any usage of bike after a day. Returned to the shop and was given a free tube. The manager is a very gentle and polite man. Reasonable conversation and willing to go far and beyond to make their customer happy. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for your honest and great service.
