Great shop with fair prices. We came to town to bike and my tire was shredded and cracked...just our luck. Luckily found new tires was ease at this location. Thanks.
I was in a real jam – – biking through town and needed help immediately. The fellow who owns this business went out of his way to help me and I’ll forever be grateful. Super nice guy who knows every single thing about bikes. Highly recommend!
Went in today asked some questions learned alot Thanx so much. How do I send a photo.
All the staff were friendly and helpful. They are right near the pier and the boardwalk. Really good pricing. They have pedal and electric assisted bikes. We rented the tandem bike and rode down West Cliff drive. Every customer renting or returning a bike was happy and pleased during the three times we were there.
Super nice, trustworthy, reasonably priced, and skilled! My wife and I took two new out-of-a-box assembled bikes to Pacific Ave Cycles and Shane tuned them up beautifully and they ride so smooth! We highly recommend this shop for all of your bike service needs.
Excellent service and advice!
So good to see this shop having a top notch rating, they deserve it. Dan and Rachel, their dog too, very helpful. Currently in the market for a MTB which havent thought about in many years. I gather they are a repair shop, with some retail. Thanks for going the extra mile.Chris
Arrived around 3:15 for bike rentals. We quickly drew up the payment information, picked out our bikes and helmets, and sized them up. I knew we would only have about an hour since the bikes have to be back by 4:30, but that left plenty of time to head down to West Cliff Drive for a nice leisurely ride down to Natural Bridges Sate Beach Overlook. The bikes were all brand new since they regularly turn over their inventory and the staff was extremely friendly. If I make it back to Santa Cruz, I would definitely look at renting again from these guys. Top notch service.
Awesome bike shop. Dan is the man! Definitely bringing my bike here from now on. They stayed open late for me to put air in my tire plus tighten my rear hub, i highly recommend!
After a few bad (and expensive) experiences at my usual LBS that I won’t name, I decided to try out Pacific Ave Cycles for MTB service. Dan was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough. This is absolutely my new LBS.
Called the shop and asked about rentals. The person said that they didn’t have that many bikes left and recommended a nearby bike shop instead. This was the first time a bike shop recommended their competitors for my benefit. Thank you, Pacific Ave Cycles!
The epitome of a fantastic local owner operated business! My first experience was as a renter, it was easy, fair, fast and with great bikes. Dan and his wife are terrific! I have purchased two bikes from them now and other equipment. Highly recommend Pacific Ave Cycles!!!
My bike blew out its bottom bracket near the boardwalk so I called in and Dan took my bike in right then, and had it back out to me within a couple of hours. Super friendly and affordable. This is where I’m taking my bike for service from now on.
For so many reasons I give this establishment & its workers 10 stars. I rolled in & they helped me with not only replacing a tire but little additional details that wouldve rendered my bike a troublesome ride. I also lost my credit card- I returned, & they helped me search & spend endless minutes searching video footage as well. Unbelievable customer service & work.
Great little shop that can do everything from cruiser repair to working on 1x11 and 1x12. Good attitude and good prices. Thanks guys.
I had a few different issues that I couldnt get helped with all over town and he took me in and fix me up and then I got the right away on my bicycle happy
Best shop experience Ive had in Santa Cruz. They fixed things on my bike that other shops had set up incorrectly. Good prices, good advice.
We stopped through on our bicycle tour of the Pacific Coast and the owner Daniel was extremely helpful. He even offered to call other nearby bike shop mechanics for us to get us back on the road quicker. He seems to run an honest shop that cares about cyclists rather than nickel and diming them.
Places like this are what make Santa Cruz a beautiful place. Bike repairs and rentals - this is the spot.
Great shop and great owners. We have so many amazing bike shops in Santa Cruz and without a doubt Pacific Avenue Cycles is one. Largest selection of BMX bikes in town, great brands and super fair prices on labor and components. Cant be beat!!!
I was extremely satisfied with the staff and results of my bike maintenance.
Dan & Rachel are super nice and helpful. Its my go to bike shop for my mountain bike maintenance.
Daniel was a great help to us. He interrupted his flow to serve us and make sure we were all set for the rest of our tour. Highly recommend coming here for any repairs, maintenance, and questions.
