The people of Pasadena Cyclery are very knowledgable, patient, and customer oriented. The bike mechanics there are extremely thorough, service-oriented, and take their time diagnosing and repairing any "ailment" your bike may be suffering from. Mike P. saw to it that my old 2007 Specialized FSR Comp...

I took my Trek Fuel EX8 in for Red Shield service just before its fifth birthday. The shop guys, Rob in particular, did a fantastic job of assessing the wear and tear and basically replacing or rebuilding almost all the moving parts. The bike is quiet and smooth and I couldn't be happier with the qu...

I brought my Trek Speed Concept to get a gearing issue fixed after taking it to two other shops and still having issues with riding up hills. Steven at Pasadena Cyclery kept my bike a few days past what we'd agreed on, but only because the bike still wasn't shifting properly after the work they'd c...

Brought my well-loved Titus in and they took excellent care of it. Suggested things I should get done at the same time as the repair I brought it in for, and then things I should think about but could wait on. Honest and thorough. I'll be back.

I was impressed with Marcus' knowledge of parts, materials, and engineering, Steeve's customer service skills with myself and other customers, and Daniel's guidance to help me decide what I need for my bike. Over all, it was a satisfying visit, and I think those 3 make a great team.

I love the service and the fact that team members know me by name. This makes me feel like part of a community and reaffirms my support for small businesses. Even though I have a bike shop 5 minutes away from my location, I am willing to make the drive to Pasadena Cyclery to enjoy their service.

I recently brought my Canyon road bike in for brake bleed and tuneup. A few weeks later the gears needed a slight adjustment and they were able to turn this around right away. I wouldn't hesitate to bring one of my bikes back to this shop and knowing that it's family run is even better.

Pushy sales. Did not listen to customer. Sloppy bookkeeping.
I told them I would like to order a certain model of MTB, they flat-out told me that I did not want that type of bike. So I end up buying a more expensive bike than I really need. A few weeks after I picked up the bike, they are hitting m...
