Transit Bicycle Company

Best bike shop in Dallas ! Bought two bikes from Transit and got one built! Fran and all the employees are awesome Great customer service, Prices are Great!

I’m not big into bikes. I just wanted to get my old dusty bike up and running for the fall weather.
These guys helped me out better than I expected. Very friendly, very quick and very cheap. They didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need or up sell me in any way. I brought my friends bike in the next day.

A friendly staff and fast service department. I’ve been in Transit a few times to look around, but I think the only thing I’ve bought from them were some handgrips. Nevertheless they seemed to remember me and even the bike I rode. When I had to take the bike in for emergency repairs a couple of times they were able to get right on it, the last time figuring out my shifter problem while I waited. Very fair priced on the repairs too. Highly recommended.

I think I’ve found my favorite local bike shop. The people who work here are nice, the prices for repairs are very reasonable (as cheap or cheaper than any other local bike shop on various services that I have needed) and they have the fastest turnaround times of any place that I have called. Today they fixed a broken spoke and trued my wheel while I waited for $ 23. What a pleasant surprise! I thought I would not be able to ride today but they made it happen and I got to enjoy the amazing weather at white rock. Highly recommended for all your repair needs. They also carry a small selection of pretty cool new and used bikes.

The best! Greeted outside the doors and helped in. Fran and the guys were super friendly and knowledgeable! Took my bike in for a tune-​up and it turned out it didn’t need everything done that I thought… The guys were honest about what needed to be done and it was much less than expected. I will definitely be back!

This is a pretty cool bike shop, and the staff is friendly making your shopping experience a pleasant one. The selection of bikes is small and their selection of cycling accessories are good. I would definitely come back for odd things that I may need for my bikes.
This shop is trustworthy and it seems that everyone at the shop love cycling and everything that comes with the lifestyle.

I felt a little bit intimidated when I entered the place for the first time (even the second time, still). I am not a triathlete or an avid, trendy cyclist with expensive bicycle, just a poor girl who doesn’t own a car and use cheap Schwinn from Target as my main mode of transportation.
But the people work there always make me feel at ease, they treat everyone with respect and don’t look down on me even though I am obviously not a ‘member of the club’. My first visit was with the girl (Sarah?) to fix flat tire, and the second was with the owner, Fran, he fixed and replaced part of my brake. Both of them are super nice and cool, they don’t overcharge their service or take advantage, instead they don’t mind sharing basic bicycle knowledge with me. The rest of the crew are also very friendly. I am a happy customer and will always come back to this place for maintenance.

Transit feels like a small community that also happens to be a business.
— The Practical Stuff —
The selection of gear and services is just right for a shop of their size. I’ve come in with issues from simple flats to a bent wheel, courtesy of a less than sober driver. The fund of knowledge and customer service of the staff are excellent.
— The Intangibles —
What makes this shop unique is the sense of community they bring to the store. The staff are helpful because they want to be. The store also sponsors various rides that bring strangers together for safe but adventurous cycling around Dallas. Transit is a place you’ll want to stop by just to say hi.
P. S. You don’t have to be a hipster to go here. However, if you do want a rec on a place to get gauges, they could probably help you.

These dudes are the best. Super friendly and super knowledgeable without the snootiness often associated with boutique bicycle shops. They sell brands they know and trust so you can buy items with piece of mind versus the copious selection of crap often sold by big generic bike stores. This place is really a gem of a bike shop. All bike shops should aspire to be as swell and dandy as Transit.

Transit is the best! They helped me completely restore a 1950s Triumph road bike, and their prices for this cannot be beat. Quick turnaround too, plus they had great tips on what worked best for the bike. Everyone is so friendly and no one ever pushes merch on you, as they do in other shops. Thanks guys!

This is the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to! The oversized forks are way to big to be used on any sized salad.
The only condiment they have is some greasy green substance that looks less than a pesto sauce, and doesn’t smell like guacamole… I can only hope it’s gluten free. There’s no hope for mayonnaise here either. Don’t ask.
The kitchen has all kinds of tools which look perfect for whipping up the beautiful concoction of eggs, salt, mustard, and sugar, but the only applicable ingredient I could see was oil which they have plenty of.
Then there’s the cooks. Has anyone ever taught them to wash their hands? Micah teeters between cashing out customers and taking orders, but really You Can’t Trust A Skinny Chef! I can only imagine he’s so buoyant do to his on point badass «handlebar» mustache. PS: Don’t ask him to make a skinny vanilla latte, nada.
The owner Fran is very friendly and accommodating. Willing and able to discuss a wide variety of life topics while you wait for your food, but alas it will never come.
Bottom line: I will not eat here again.
Try the pasta alla Bianchi Fondo Celeste green. It’s the best!

The have some slick bikes in here and lots of cool accessories. The staff here is super knowledgeable and friendly. Micah was most helpful in giving me a bunch of info on messenger bags and which companies to check out. Super cool shop be sure to check it out.

I love this shop! Everyone is always extremely helpful and nice. Micah and Sarah always take care of me there and are flat out AWESOME. Everything is moderately priced for what it’s worth. Awesome selection. This is a bike shop with personality!

Their wifi is «TransitFuckingBikes».
If you love your bike, you need to take it to Transit. Let them do their magic. They love what they do, and so will you.

This place is neat and everyone has mustaches. The bike selection is small and seemed pricey for reboots. However, it seemed like they had a good selection of accessories and the employees are helpful.

Transit is a shop so great I don’t mind paying retail price even if I could save a few bucks online. Fran (owner) is crazy awesome and willing to teach you about the bike should you ask the how, whats, and whys. Micah is a tad abrupt (can be viewed as rude) but overall means well and won’t blow smoke up your rear. The rest of the crew is helpful and truly wants you to get on a bike and ride. I don’t bother with other shops because at Transit my business, no matter the dollar amount, is appreciated. Love this place.

Simply quick and friendly service for my bike. I like that the second I walked in someone said hi, and promptly helped me, both times. I don’t look like a hipster bike guy. I am 50, beer belly, no tats, glasses wearing regular guy, but I was treated like a cool bike person!
I bought a full service tune up on my Trek 7100. It so badly needed it. Now the seven yr old bike rides like new. Good mechanics here.
My new Banjo Brothers saddle bag was pretty sweet too. It’s huge but does not need a frame. Thanks Sara for the tip.

This place is great… great guys working there. Talked to Fran (owner) for a long time and he was happy to help me w/​some fairly intricate parts for a vintage build I’m working on.
This is the kind of place I’ve been looking for… great for an amateur builder/​restorer like me.

This über hipster bike store let me down.
I had been eyeing a bike here for months — a sweet sledgehammer volume bmx.
I test road one and when they went 25% off a month later to $ 650 as «floor models», I snatched one up.
After a few days the brakes went out and I noticed the handle bars had a bad scratch and the peddle was making a bad noise.
When I took it back they fixed the brakes and the owner Fran told me that new bike peddles often make a noise until they are worn in and somewhat snidely told me to
«ride with my iPod».
When the peddle fell off a week later, it started to be clear — this was a used bike.
I had no real legal recourse, they didn’t admit to it or even offer a sincere apology.
They put the peddle back on, and when it fell off 4 more times over the course of 3 weeks it became apparent that it had been stripped and that I needed a new crank.
It is my understanding that they were aware of this defect.
Micah and Fran kept replacing the peddle but didn’t offer to replace the crank until I demanded it, and then charged me $ 125.
I was very disappointed with their business practices and I refuse to patronize them again, even for repairs.
That’s too bad cause transit bikes offers fun unusual fixies you cannot find elsewhere in Dallas but, alas style does not supersede substance.
Smug hipsters jerked me around.
Not cool.

I was hopeful when I took my bike in, and I was not disappointed. Everyone I spoke with was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. When I received my fixed bike, it looked fantastic. More importantly, the fella who rang me up and checked me out explained everything they did to my bike to me in full detail. I almost felt like I was at the doctor; he was definitely saying some things I had no idea about what he was talking! But still, I am appreciative that he explained everything to me so I knew.
The bike rides like a dream now, like it did when it was brand new, which is always a wonderful experience! Plus, I ran into the fella who checked me out behind the place, and he helped me put my bike back in the back of my SUV. Talk about customer service! The only problem with this place is parking. DO NOT park at Trader Joe’s (see my review on Trader Joe’s), even if you plan to go to TJ after the bike shop. Find alternative parking. Seriously.
Otherwise, this is where we will always take our bikes to be serviced. Highly recommend!
