Florin Bicycle Center

I brought an old mountain bike here that was neglected for years, Joe rebuilt it for a great price and now it rides like a new bike. I can’t say enough good things about this shop, great service, great pricing, extremely knowledgable.

I had my bike updated and repaired here and will only go here from now on. Small little place and great service, Joe knows bikes! Really nice guy.

Just picked up my Baby (my road bike) from Florin bicycles. Couldn’t be more pleased. Joe got a road bike other bike mechanics said couldn’t be fixed and got it back on the road.
All for a reasonable price. All the while explaining what he did, and suggesting down the road maitenance. Highly recomended.

Great prices & great service. It’s a great change of pace from the larger bike shops who just throw out cookie cutter products.
If you just show up there is a limited amount of inventory in purchasing bikes, so you may want to call ahead. Though if you show up the owner is very good at helping you select a bike and can order a great range of bikes that will get you up and running in no time.

Got pretty major overhaul of my high end mountain bike. Would highly recommend. Replaced many parts that I needed, work was done quickly and very well. My bike is like new. I’ll be back for parts and hopefully some fun stuff.

UPDATE ²⁄₁
I was biking and swerved to dodge a car and ended up hitting a curb, puncturing my front tube and ruining my tire. I came back here and Joe was very understanding. I told him what had happened and he took a look. At first I thought it was just my tube that was gone but he found that my tire was also ruined. Replaced both my tube and tire for me and waived the labor fee. I have yellow tires to match my color scheme and I had just bought his last set yesterday so he didn’t have anymore. I opted for black instead and he could tell I was a bit bummed so he offered me a yellow tire at a discounted price the next time he makes an order. What a guy. THIS IS HOW YOU RUN A BUSINESS. He turned my day around. I am definitely coming back.

You’re rarely going to find a business like this anywhere. The owner is honest and knowledgeable and isn’t some corporate dummy or some employee waiting to clock out. In fact, he’s the only employee. I LOVE supporting small businesses and this is definitely a place where I’ll be a return customer. The owner is really friendly and even waived the fee to install my new tires for me that I bought since I made a slightly big purchase. He is thorough and careful with his work. He’s not about profit, he’s about keeping you satisfied and safe. It may be a little hard to find at first. It’s at the turn right next to the railroad tracks.

John’s business is bicycles. That’s what he’s great at. It’s a dinky little place in the middle of old Florin by the railway and on the same street as Frasinetti’s Winery. It’s a start up establishment with basic gear without the frills of corporate flare. I went in to get a rear bike rack installed and he was helpful enough to do it for cheap and stayed within the quoted rate. He’s low key, so there was no pressure sales, even after I brought in an aftermarket item. It took a couple of hours or him to fix, and that’s nice because some bigger places would quote you a day or two.
