The Mindful Bike

Amateur hour. Don’t waste your time. Website says they were open and rode an hour to get there on bike. Get there and closed sign but people inside. Said they changed hours. Lame way to run a business. Taking my business somewhere else.

With a disintegrating freewheel and industrial staple freshly implanted in my rear tire, I ducked into this shop right at closing time (bad customer form, I know). These guys happily stayed after hours, replaced the freewheel, AND dug up a manufacturer coupon for the tire I requested. Can you imagine a bike shop going out of their way to give you a discount when you’re making them stay late? This is a great shop run by excellent people. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Despite some less than positive reviews, I am very pleased with their attitude and service. I only needed a new tube, but they took care of it right away, at a fair price. I will be back.

Unfortunately, we didn’t end up buying a bike here, but wanted to at least throw them a 5-​star review. The mechanics here are so patient, attentive, knowledgeable, so on… just a great shop, check them out and let them help you find the perfect bike!

I love this shop, it’s my favorite in town (I’ve been to all of the others). I feel super lucky that it happens to be the most convenient to where I live. Everyone is super friendly, knowledgeable, laid back, and are usually able to help me without much of a wait. I also love the brands and quality products they sell in the store — it is a bike commuter’s dream.

So many cool specially bikes here! Bought a Linus for my wife and these guys were awesome. I did everything over the phone and picked it up after work. Everyone was very helpful– will be back!

I really WANT to like this place, but I can’t. I live in the neighborhood and I love supporting local businesses, but every time I’ve walked in here I’ve been disappointed. The girl who has been working every time I go has no interpersonal skills and makes me feel uncomfortable and stupid about bikes with the way she talks down to me. The first 3 times I gave her the benefit of the doubt (maybe she’s going through a hard time?) but now I’m over it.
The only reasons I give them 3 stars instead of 1 are:
1) I understand how hard it is to run an independent business, and I support locals
2) They put in the effort to try to special order a unique kickstand for my bike, even though it didn’t end up working out. The effort was appreciated.
That being said, I will not be back.

Great shop with chill staff. Avoid Amazon for this place whenever possible. No bike snobs, just good, fun people.

Great place! I came out of work to a totally dead tire and walked down the street to this shop. They hooked me up immediately with a new tire and tube, and he also tightened up my brakes and oiled my chain for me (I have a pretty old crappy bike) all while we chatted like old friends.

2 week wait for a bike tune up? I think I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a shop tgat hasn’t been able to fix my bike within a couple days.

Great tune up! I have an internal hub commuter bike, and have had three different stores in town do an annual tuneup. I tried three stores because each time I had a feeling that nothing was ever tuned up.
This year I walked to mindful bike — and had a true tune up! My bike is running like a charm, better than when I bought it! Highly recommended!

So, I have taken my commuter road bike here for service since they opened, had a group of speciality bikes sent there for mending, purchased a number of accessories (racks, fenders, etc), and have purchased two bikes here. It is a great neighborhood shop with superior products, reasonable prices, and strong mechanical services. I’ve never felt ‘in’ or overly appreciated, which is fine, but noted. They have great city bikes and totally reasonable prices + you get to shop local and help out a couple of sole proprietors with a small business.

Great little shop with very knowledgeable and helpful staff.
I had recently had a terrible experience at another local shop and was desperate for some higher quality customer service. A coworker told me that Mindful Bike was the place to go, so I checked it out.
She was right! Mindful knew exactly what I needed for my bike and provided it in a surprisingly short period of time and at a reasonable price.
My bike is like new and I am so happy to be riding again! The Mindful Bike has a new customer for «life.»

This place is really THE only option if you need a flat fixed in a flash at a reasonable price. Keith & Co. are right on top of it, and they won’t hit you up for stuff you don’t need. I have always enjoyed quick service, great advice and guidance about all things cycling, and a really nice, trusting vibe. You will appreciate this place, try it!

After visiting a few bike stores with completely ineffectual staff, this was a breath of fresh air. Andrew was laid back & not pushy, yet eager to help me find the right bike. I bought a Linus Dutchie & love it! I had a mountain bike before & hated it — I’m riding around the city, not thrashing mountains. I couldn’t stand feeling like I’d been beat up after a ride. The Dutchie is a total pleasure & suits my needs much better. I stopped in a few days later to purchase some accessories & the other staff members were just as awesome.

Super-​friendly service with the knowledge to get you from A to B on a hot sexy new ride in no time.
They carry popular brands like Linus and Public, but also have an eclectic selection of other not-​so-​known brands that are equally as sexy such as Viva.
They’re willing to go out of their way to make sure you find the best bike for you… never upselling or adding unnecessary dollars to the mix. The fact that they’re okay with you test ride any of their bikes on the floor on 12^th Street makes it all the more convenient as a one-​stop-​shop.
Highly recommended for any mindful bike lover.

Nice selection of bikes and amazing service. I came in with a vague idea of what I needed. I was able to look at the bikes on my own, without feeling pressured. Keith was great about providing information without making me feel dumb for asking questions. When I found the bike I want, he helped me look at different colors online. Great experience!

After writing my initial review, the owner of the business reached out to me in order to rectify the situation.
It speaks a lot about this business that they care enough to reach out to former customers who may be unhappy.
With that in mind, I’ve updated my rating to reflect my revised experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this bike shop without qualification.

Very helpful staff, I took my bike to another shop in the area and the older man at the shop told me it was a lost cause and to be happy I was only in it for 60 bucks… Discouraged I wanted a second opinion so I took it to the Mindful Bike. The guy looked at it and said it just needed a new cable and some adjustments, and 15 minutes and 15 dollars later I petaled away a happy camper.

As a bike commuter, I’ve gone to several shops in the Denver Metro area for service and repairs. I have had some tricky issues with my bikes over the last few years. When most bike shops were more interested in throwing (my) money at the problem, the staff at Mindful Bike took the time to really evaluate some not-​so-​straightforward issues I came in to see them for. At one point, they even put in a brand new dérailleur for me as a loaner so that I could find out if the issue I was having was related to that piece. How many bike shops would allow you to do that?
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they seem to be more concerned with satisfying the customer than upselling them on things they don’t need. This is by far one of the best shops I’ve been to in the Denver area thus far. They are my new LBS of choice.
