The Velo

Conveniently located, has a rad coffee shop attached to it, and staff (especially Zack) are all really helpful, knowledgable, and nice. Prices are pretty average and they hold a decent selection of bikes, apparel, and accessories. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

Jason is one of the best guys you could buy a bike from. He’s knowledgable, honest, and fun to talk with. I went in to buy a bike and he personally took me out on several test rides to make sure I picked the one that was best for me. Great experience. The coffee and artwork is good too!

Both times that I’ve needed assistance, the staff was nothing but of great help and had so much knowledge. Very helpful and great staff.

I can’t say enough good things about the guys at The Velo. Their knowledge, passion and generosity is unparalleled. They have helped me through my journey to Ironman and have become friends along the way. The Velo is a place to buy and service your bike… and a great place for community and coffee. Thank you for all you do (Jake, Zach, Jason, Justin… and the entire team).

Great LBS and awesome dudes. So glad to have a knowledgeable and friendly bike shop in the neighborhood. Great selection of bikes, skate boards, and accessories. Did I mention they have a café attached to it?! Keep up the good work guys!

Still just as wonderful as I remember. They hire really awesome people! I didn’t catch the girls name this time but she was very knowledgable and personable.
Last time I had their espresso which was enough of a reason to go back but this morning I was feeling something with chai and oh my was it so good! I want another already! Just a heads up they open at 8 AM not 10

Great reliable bike shop located in Downtown Phoenix with a delectable coffee shop. Shop carries Giants, Felt, State and an array of other road, cyclocross, commuters/​hybrids, and some independent high end stuff. The staff all rides, the turn over time on repairs is fast, and the work is done well. The coffee shop serves some of the best/​strongest cold brew via ColdPress coffee. There’s a group ride that leaves the shop every Sunday at 6:30 in the A.M.

I stopped in here for the first time on Wednesday to get the rear wheel of my bike checked out. The atmosphere inside was wonderful! A much larger space inside than I expected with a small coffee shop as well. I was seen right away by a very easy going employee and had my bike checked out. Was quoted a very reasonable price for the repair and was told it would be ready on Friday. To my surprise, I got a call Thursday afternoon stating my bike was all set to be picked up. I was psyched!
Great service and atmosphere. After riding my bike following the repair I can say that the quality is there in the maintenance as well. I wiill definitely return!

Thanks to the folks at Velo. My bike needed a tune up before my first marathon. The reviews that talk about customer service being awesome are dead on right! And the work was done in a day, price was right, and they cleaned up my bike too. I will be taking my bike back here if I need other stuff for it. Nice work all.

Rad place! Great people, great atmosphere, awesome products! One of the most welcoming bike shops I’ve ever been in! These guys actually care about their customers and providing good service! Love it!

Well I was checking out this new bike shop, and dropped in to find a great selection of my favorite road shoes. Diadora Road shoes in many styles, and sizes in stock. Good selection of bikes from medium to high prices.
Staff seems young, inexperence, but seems to understand customer service, and if they did not know they would get answers.
Hope this new bicycle shop in Phoenix makes it as a good road orientated shop is needed in Downtown Phoenix.

Attended a «Get your PHX» & Local First Event here. Was totally blown away by the Shop, the Staff, and the Location of this new business in the heart of the new Art District. Oh, didn’t you know we have one? One really cool and growing Art District…with small galleries, local bars and breakfast restaurants, theaters, farmers markets, and…a one-​of-​a kind bike shop!
I’m not much of a biker. .. well, OK, I admit it. .. I haven’t ridden a bike since I was about 15! But the dream is still there. .. and I do truly appreciate seeing beautiful bikes. Do I know anything about them? Well, actually. .. again «No»; but that is what these guys are here for…to teach those of us who don’t know a darn thing and to support those who own half a dozen bikes and love the art of riding.
Stop in and get to know them. Smell the metal & rubber (or is it plastic these days?) and talk to the experts. Get a new bike, or a tire that you blew out the last time you rode that Slippery Rock Trail in Utah, or pick up some new socks & a «T», or get them to fix that locked gear. Whatever you need in the bike world, they can do it!
And. .. while you are waiting for your mode of transport to be carefully re-​adjusted, they have a small café with coffee, beer & small bites to keep the hunger pangs down. You can sit at the shop bar and watch repairs being done. Or sit in a cozy sofa and chill when the temps are 105 outside. Of course, if you crashed your «velo» big time, it might take a little longer than a cup of espresso to get it back on its wheels! But these guys can do it!

I’ve been there on 3 – 4 occasions and consistently had a positive experience.
The staff are friendly and knowledgable. On my first visit I was looking for tubes and accessories for my bike. A young gent helped me out and I got a bit of a discount since I was buying so much stuff. The second visit I ended up getting another bike — so that was nice. The staff were great about fitting the bike and answering a variety of questions. Finally, I have been back a few times for a coffee or small part. The coffee is outstanding. Would be even better if they offered a few good pastries (or donuts) as well.

This place is awesome!!! So why not FIVE stars??? Well answer that later…
We walked past this place and thought we’d give it a go. The first thing you notice is the bike shop, but on the west side of the building is a little coffee shop. The coffee is GREAT! I had an espresso and a friend had the caramel latte. I was blown away by the espresso. The beans they use are from a local company and the beans are awesome. The caramel latte my friend had wasn’t great, but he said it was still better than SBucks. Haha The barista also let me try the toddy (cold brew coffee) and that was even better! The coffee had hints of chocolate, not sweet milk chocolate but dark chocolate. I think this is my new go to spot for coffee.
The bike shop had lots to choose from… bianchi, trek, specialized, etc. Lots of big name brands as well as some not so brand names. The staff seemed knowledgeable and was helpful. They even had a repair shop in the middle of the store to do repairs and maintenance on your bike. If you’re not sure what to do while waiting to get your bike services, relax with a cup of joe in the coffee shop lounge!
So that brings us to my lack of ONE star… I want to save that til I take my bike in to be serviced. Not sure how good they are with a wrench and how their bike mechanics know their stuff. We will see. But one thing is for sure, I will be waiting with a cup of espresso in hand. Mmm… Coffee…

I was expecting a chill environment & I got that. I was expecting to see cruisers & I got that. Even a Four Peaks cruiser which was fun to see in person finally. The staff were all young, chill & helpful. The place is laid out good & they seem to have private rooms for custom fits which is nice. I just got a fixie/​roadie vibe of eliteness from the clientele buying coffee & hanging about. Kind of bummed about that but they’ll keep the doors open so I’m all for anything that keeps a bike shop open. I just long for the days when it was a bunch of kids & adults shopping, milling around vs what cycling is quickly becoming in downtown an elitest doouchey feel of roadies & fixie riders sipping coffee & PBR. Where have all of the BMX, mountain bike people gone?

Wow, these guys were fantastic. I was really in a bind — front tire of my Schwinn was stolen. They had a new rim, tire, and tube ready for me in two hours. Not only was it quick but these guys were personable as hell. Highly recommend them! It looked like a chill spot to hang out too.

I am a very rookie cyclist. The guys at The Velo helped get me on a new bike that fit my budget and experience.
Great service start to finish. I liked the vibe and product selection of the shop.

This bike shop is simply amazing! The staff are friendly and informative, and the bike selection is incomparable to any other in the Phoenix area. They went WAY BEYOND what was expected of them to get the job done. They have definitely earned my return business!

Popped in for a cup of coffee while waiting for breakfast at Matts Big Breakfast. The guy working was super friendly and helpful. We made a fabulous latte and freshly pressed coffee. This place is a great spot to grab a coffee. If your a bike lover you’ll love this place. Highly recommend for anyone in the area. Whether coffee or bikes are your vice you’ve found a good home either way. Enjoy

This is a bike shop like no other. You will be amazed. Classy, fun, and very comfortable. Honestly, I did not want to leave! And the kicker… I am not an avid biker!
First …the bikes! The obvious draw. This is run by some SERIOUS bike dudes… they know their spokes and wheels and chains stuff. They will dig as deep as you need to go… road, dirt, grandmas and back. Whatever you need! Ask to see the secret room with the very, very serious bikes! Shhh!
Second…the hang! I am all about buying local and living the Phoenix artsy, edgy downtown vibe (think art studio, coffee house, spa, modern!) and this EXCEEDS that expectation. A cup of coffee, a snack and a new cruiser… visions of becoming a biker dance in my head!
Third…a massage! Yes, invite me! Coming to your bike house café soon!
Finally, the owner. Such a doll! Ask to meet Jason if you are there. He is the consummate host with the knowledge to ensure you will be comfortable with ANY purchase… he thought of everything from bikes to coffee to the towels and the lighting. He has the most infectious smile!
Go there soon and get your private tour now! It’s bound to be super crowded before long… enjoy!
