Talk about an easy bike shop! I had my bike serviced there (first time) and it came back better than when I bought it (seriously). It’s absolutely silent and feels like I’m riding on a bead of grease. I wish their vending machine out front was a bit more reliable but the service, expertise, and just honest friendliness is what makes this place such an outstanding staple of the South Broadway area.
I had a short window when I could drop my bike off before heading out of town with it for a bike weekend. Totem called me the day I submitted an appointment request and let me take the bike in early to let them see it and determine the turnaround time. They converted my tires to a tubeless setup in half the time I expected and remembered my name & plans when I went to pick up. Will definitely be back.
I only needed a rear derailleur adjustment. Others shops would have charged much more and the mobile service I contacted wanted a minimum of four times more than Totem. The mechanic was professional, punctual and did an excellent job, all for the cost of making the appointment. I will definitely go back.
I brought them two neglected road bikes and got them back in great condition, ready to hit the road. Great value and great work all around. Would bring another bike here!
Totem has quickly become my favorite shop in Denver. Its perfect for service, repairs, custom builds, bespoke components, and hand built wheels. Ryan, the proprietor, is meticulous, knowledgeable, and honest. He built a set of wheels for me (Velocity rims with Paul Hubs, pictured), and without my even asking, he took care to line up the hub logos with the valve holes. Recently, when a small mistake resulted in a scuff on one of my bikes parts during service, Ryan brought it to my attention, apologized, and addressed the issue. He could have easily hidden or ignored it, but thats not the kind of business Ryan runs. I highly recommend Totem Cyclery.
After having my bike serviced here, it rides like a completely new machine! Prices are very reasonable for the quality of work and attention to detail. My love of cycling has been totally reinvigorated by getting my bike tuned up!!!
This is a small but mighty bike shop. I brought my bike in with an urgent need to have it tuned up and a shifting problem fixed before leaving on a trip 3 days later. They had it done and ready in 2 days! Im thrilled to buy local from this Baker neighborhood shop!
Good people, good service. Made my appointment online and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Bravo. Thanks so much!
Good bike shop! When I dropped the bike off, I asked about getting a new cassette along with having my chain changed. The mechanic examined the cassette and said I didnt need a new one! He fixed the bike so no more problems (the brakes were squeaking badly) and put on a new chain. Bike now rides like a charm. Ill use Totem again.
Dropped my bike off to get tubeless setup. They finished it a day early and the bike rode great on my first ride back!
Really great neighborhood spot. Friendly service and knowledgeable staff. Thanks for helping me out today!
This place is fantastic! I use my bikes for fun so I don’t know a lot about maintenance. Totem Cyclery is fair and honest and did a great job!
Friendly service as always, informative, and well done. I always go to totem for my bike needs and this visit instilled that sense of trust. Thanks again totem!
Ryan was really helpful and finished the job quickly! He even went the extra mile and helped me secure my basket on the back of my bike.
What a wonderful place for a tune-up! I made an appointment online and dropped my bike off at that time. Ryan tuned up my road-bike and called me only a few hours later to pick up. I couldnt pick up until Sunday and though Totem is not open on Sundays, he allowed me to pick up and went out of his way to open the shop for a minute so I could do so. Pricing is fair and for the smallest shop in Colorado this place showed great customer service. Support local businesses! Thanks Totem Cyclery.
Absolutely the most dope spot to get all your bike needs met in regards to maintenance and work done. Service is 10 stars outa 5.
Getting a hold of the shop was a little tricky. I left a voicemail and never received a response, but when I decided to set up a consultation instead, communication improved. This was only a slight mishap that didn’t cause too much of an inconvenience. Everything turned out so nicely and I’d choose Totem over many other local bike shops in the area!
Ryan was easy to communicate with and stuck to his quote and timeline. He is a exceptional wheel builder and I would highly recommend him and his shop!
Such a positive experience. For a one person shop, Totem really does offer exceptional service. Regardless of your cycling needs, this is the place for you!
I asked the shop to do a complete overhaul in time for my bike trip and they pulled it off. Took the bike to 18 Road in Fruita and it ran like new. Very grateful!
Care, attention, expertise - the team at Totem is a true Denver treasure, and will not steer you wrong on any repair/purchase you are looking to make.
Great place to get your bike taken care of
Great little local bike shop in Baker! Brought my bike in last week for a tune up (it was gifted to me from a friend who had it sitting in her backyard for over a year). I had selected the higher level tune up package when booking, but when I dropped the bike off, I was told that it was in good shape and I could get the next package down. Thought that was super rad of them to help me save some extra bucks. They completed the service earlier than scheduled and it rides great. Will definitely make this my go to spot for all bike maintenance!
Fair price & good work. Its easy to drop off and easy to pick up. Ive been getting work done here and buying parts & tools for 5 years now and have always been happy.
I had a phenomenal experience at Totem. Ive taken my road bike in for a general tune-up and broken parts on two occasions. Ryan is super knowledgeable, professional and communicative. I highly recommend over other local shops.
Service was inexpensive and quality. 10/10 would recommend supporting this business!
Bike is working Great and Lucas was very helpful.
Ryan Santoski was a consummate professional with a repair of my 20-some year old Bianchi Volpe. He was courteous, thorough, timely, and my bike is running better than it has in years. I purchased a front light, and Ryan made sure it was loaded up with fresh batteries. I would definitely go back and will recommend this shop to my friends.
Ryan does a great job with all of the repairs and maintenance that Ive ever needed. His prices are fair, and hell never charge you for unneeded labor.Despite being a small shop, their turn around on repairs are quicker than most of the big shops in Denver.I highly recommend Totem!
Excellent service! Just picked up my bike today and cannot wait to jump onto a trail!
Totem Cyclery was very helpful in fixing my bike. I highly recommend this bike shop.
Awesome experience. I recently acquired a bike that hasnt been in use for a long time, Ryan tuned it up, replaced parts and made it feel so tailored to me. He was quick and accomidating when I couldnt pick it up till the day after he was done. The vending machine outside the shop also carries small repair kits and bike parts, definitely convenient for anyone in the area. I will be happy to support Totem from here on out for any biking needs.
Great service all around. I will be back again next time I need a tune up or some new parts.
Ryan is the best in town. His attention to detail is unmatched and my bike is riding better than when I bought it.
Trusty local bike shop, very helpful
Ryan did excellent work on my neglected Cervelo. Communication and clarity of pricing on the estimate were both satisfactory, and being able to book an appointment online was a plus.
Ryan is a great mechanic who communicates well and know his trade.
I had a pair of mountain bike wheels built by Totem Cyclery. Im very happy with my experience at totem. Their price for the build and components were very competitive compared to other shops. I got my wheels built for about $60 cheaper than other shops quoted me at. Ryan was easy to work with, addressed all my requests, and had me on my new wheels quickly. I highly recommend Totem Cyclery for wheel builds.
Wonderful experience with Totem! I was referred to Ryan by a friend and he did a great job working within my budget and requests for my funky lil vintage bike that wasnt in great condition before taking it in.
Totem is always professional, affordable and friendly. Best bike shop in Denver.
Totem Cyclery is a great business! They were flexible with us when we couldn’t make our original appointment and got us into a second appointment quickly. They changed a tube on two of our bikes and did some work on the chain of one of them. The job was well done and at a very reasonable price! Definitely will be visiting them for any future work.
Ryan at the shop was very timely and organized.I got new wheels, spikes and hubs. He made some great recommendations did all of the install. Offered a re-tune after a few rides just to make sure things were where they needed to be.Love the ride now, and if I have future work to do I’ll be back.
Thanks for the quality work much smoother ride.
I like that I can make an appointment, then bring in my bike during my scheduled time. It didnt take long and my son is very happy to have his bike back!
I took my carbon fiber bike to Totem after a nasty accident did some major damage the rear derailleur. After making my appointment online ( I was able to make an appointment within a week and the process was simple and straight forward), Ryan got my bike into his shop and within the same day, I had a full quote on parts and labor (which, I might add, was lower than I thought it might be). I had my bike back in two days, fully repaired, properly adjusted and mechanically like new. Will I take my bike there again? Absolutely! Would I refer others? Without a doubt. I could not be happier and Im certain you will be too.
Ryan has done complete tuneups on both of my bikes and repaired several things for my grandson and son’s bike. Completely satisfied with his prompt professional and fairly priced work. I highly recommend Totem to anyone.
Great local shop. Ryan is efficient, friendly and does quality work.
Its the only bike shop Ill go to in Denver. Some people find their passion and perfect their craft. This guy is one of those people.
I had a spoke repaired here, and although he was able to fix the spoke, there was a minor hiccup that I had to go back and have fixed. Luckily, he fixed it immediately even though appointments are required. About as good of customer service as you can ask for.
Ryan is an incredible mechanic and this is an incredible boutique shop that specializes in user-specific mechanic service and delivers a solid core of your daily-rider products for the bike. If you miss your local small town bike mechanic who doesnt have a Rewards credit card to sell you, and you need work done you can trust for a couple thousand miles in Colorado conditions, call Totem. aka the worlds greatest tiny bike shop
Excellent service.Quick turn around
Great experience, bike was done within the day. Been to a couple of other bike shops in the area and Totem was the best and easiest in terms of online booking and just doing a better job on my bike. Highly recommend.
Honest, dependable, no fuss service. Every spring I take my bike in and leave feeling well taken care of. Highly recommend Totem for your biking needs.
Totem is my go-to spot. Always quick, good prices, and high-quality work. Recommend!
Had my rear derailleur cable replaced the day after it broke, great price and excellent service. Less than an hour to repair and I am able to shift thru my gears without issue. Ill definitely return for any other service needs I have in the future. (BTW I ride a Specialized Roubaix with S-105s)
Ryan does excellent work and follows up. Really appreciate the service.
The old bike looked so shiny and drove so smoothly. The bike mechanic I was communicating with did a fantastic job and was super responsive, flexible and professional.
Best bike shop in town!
I originally chose this shop because of the David Lynch theme, but I stayed for the service & professionalism. They gave my vintage bike a facelift and she rides so damn good now. They had my bike back in my hands within a few days, riding so smooth. Thanks, guys!
One of my fave shops in Denver, a true hidden gem. Ryan knows his way around bikes and is always helpful with advice. A truly no B.S experience, plus he carries stock from a number of great local and independent bike companies.
I had a full tune up and then I had my sons rims fixed on his mountain bike. Fast great service. Quality Service. Highly recommend.
Great shop! Ryan does an awesome job. The ability to schedule online and the quick service is key for me. My most recent appointment was for an old rare bike and Ryan was able to get it fixed and back to me in the same day.
Great neighborhood bike shop. I scheduled a tune up for around $60 and my bike was finished within one day and I was only charged $32. Great shop, great work, and the vending machine out front comes in super handy.
Perfect repair. Ryan fixed my bike in record time and remained 100% safe throughout.
Totem did a great job with my bike! I appreciate their cautiousness during COVID-19 through appointments but also appreciate them staying opened in a safe way. Ill definitely go back for any future bike needs. Thanks!
I scheduled a tuneup through Totems online scheduling assistant and was able to pick my bike up the following day. They also installed a new chain ring. Great service, the bike is riding great again. Looking forward to taking my bike here again for future needs.
Friendly, knowledgeable and if they dont have what you want they will order it for you. Ryan goes out of his way to take care of customers. This is the shop to go to in the Denver area.
The team knows bikes very well! Had a fast turn around! Great place!
Very easy process with Totem. Fast and easy service for the right price. Wish auto mechanics were this honest!
Best place for bike repair in Denver. Not arrogant or pretentious and the most reasonably priced. Big fan of this place and what they do.
Getting in is tough, but I always get great recommendations and excellent quality.
The team at Totem is so great! The appointment was easy to book online, I dropped off my bike, and they had it ready exactly when they said they would. Love this place!
Very efficient and reasonably priced. I really appreciated their service and honesty.
Great quality service and turnaround time. I will definitely go back
Knowledgeable. Fair price. Very good service. My new bike shop.
Rare gem, and would definitely go here again. Modest prices, a focus on commuter cycling and honest service. I only wish a shop like this was closer to where I lived.
I am very hard on my bycyle and needed to get some maintenance and replacement parts. Totem Cyclery did an excellent job on my bycyle and they kept me informed on the process! Thank you!An additional review of this buissnes would conclude that they are first rate in bycyle needs! They recently did a gear upgrade and I am loving it, excellent job guys, thank you!😎
Great little shop. They were very attentive to detail when I got my old bike tuned!
Im so grateful that Totem is still open and working on appointments. They fixed my bike (something simple that had been looked over elsewhere) so quickly and efficiently. Thank you!
Ryan is an excellent mechanic and works incredibly fast. Blue Velvet had my Allez Sprint rolling smoother than the day I bought it, and I plan to use him for my all my upgrades and maintenance in the future.
Ryan really knows what hes talking about and can set you up with whatever you need from a casual cyclist to a hardcore bikepacker. His turnaround time is extremely reasonable for a 1-person shop and hes always happy to spread his knowledge.
Ryan is a great bicycle mechanic. He is professional and completely adhered to the state and national safety rules during the current global pandemic. I always bring my bicycle to Totem Cyclery for all of my biking needs.
This place is awesome. They’ve changed the gearing on my on my road bike, replaced the shock on my mountain bike, and replaced the derailer on my friends ride. Unlikely I’d ever go anywhere else for repairs or maintenance.
Really friendly staff, responsive, and quality work on my bike.
Great local bike shop. Super friendly and affordable
Totem Cyclery is a highly professional shop with reasonable prices. Staff is friendly and knowledgable about bicycle parts and repair.
Great little shop that got my bike on the road quickly and inexpensively. Wouldnt go anywhere else for parts and service.
I scheduled a general bike tune-up for my man’s bike, as it was just generally unrideable. It was finished quickly and the shop is really cool on the inside— the repairman was honest about what he could and couldn’t fix (like a bent frame) and it rides really well now!
Good service and they had exactly what I was looking for. I was considering buying online but am much happier supporting a local small business. Their prices were comparable and I would definitely go back.
Great shop conveniently located off broadway. Got the job done faster than they estimated.
Had a brake installed on my commuter bike. Honest mark up for the part and went above and beyond with the install and finding a solution for full length cable and housing routing. Beyond grateful for the excellent service!
Good tune-up and recommendations. Will be back!
They took my old cruiser bike, that had been sitting in the garage for over a year, and brought it back to life. It rides better now than it did when it was new.
Thanks so much for the service. Very much appreciated.
Just had Totem wire up a couple derailleurs for me. The turn around was the same week and they worked great on a long ride this weekend.
Quick repair of bike tire will go back
I will return. Ryan allowed me to change custos tube for $5. Instead of him personally getting $10. Let me use the store floor pump as well! So, I could purchase a TOTEM embroided patch. Righteous.
