Bicycle Express

  I just got a Marin bike from Bicycle Express. I was looking for a particular bike which was not available anywhere nearby. They were the only place who offered to call me back once it's in stock. Guess what! I did get a callback from them once the bike was in stock.

Once I reached there I noticed they were following all the COVID related protocols and limited entry to only two people at a time. The bike was ready for me, though I was in a rush they still insisted I take a test ride so they can make any adjustments I wanted. I felt there was some unusual noise. When I mentioned it to them they spent enough time between fixing and testing until first they and then I was satisfied even though it was a really busy hour for them with many people waiting to be serviced. The staff is super friendly, patient and had a smile on their face all along.

Event though I am about 15 miles away, they will be my preferred go to bike shop in the valley for any of my bike related needs.

  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.

  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.

  I bought a used bike here. I got a decent price and the customer service is always friendly and professional. If you are looking for a used bike, based on my personal experience, it is a good place to go.

  Great tune-up on my 25+ year-old bike, at a great price. My derailleur was having issues for the last year (I've been doing a LOT more bike riding), and at first, I tried making adjustments myself. 🙁 Bad idea, don't have the rack to properly mount bike to do work. ) Anywho, got the thing so fouled up I decided to just go for a complete tune-up. The derailleur issue was actually caused by a mismatch of components installed during another tune-up by another shop over 10 or 12 years ago. Long story short, Chuck installed new drive cage (front derailleur, rear gears, new chain) and did the other bits of the tune-up for a GREAT price. I could not have bought the necessary tools, repair stand, and parts -- nor could I have done such a masterful job -- at even 3x the cost. The bike is simply wonderful to ride now!

  Recently 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.
