Bill’s Cyclery Bike Shop

Honestly this shop (apparently established since 1939) makes me proud to call Woodside home. I’ve been here a couple times for a tune-up and some parts, and both experiences made me want to continue coming here as long as I’m able. When I first came for the tune-up I had a bunch of questions that the employee (forgot his name) was patient with and just super knowledgeable about and happy to explain, and he didn’t try upselling me. The bike itself was better than new when I picked it up and it was a very affordable price. Next time I went, I bought a U-lock frame mount, and I tried quickly installing it outside the shop on the street but was struggling a bit. Tony saw me from inside the shop and called me in to install it himself in 15secs free of charge despite closing very soon.

I originally stopped by Bill’s Cyclery to have a flat tire replaced, but Tony went above and beyond. He gave my bike a thorough inspection and identified several issues that my previous mechanic had overlooked—including worn brakes, mismatched nut sizes, and a chain that was too long (which he resized on the spot). He also recommended new tires to improve performance and safety. After all the adjustments, my bike looks and rides like new. While the total cost came to nearly $300, I see it as a worthwhile long-term investment in quality and reliability. Tony’s expertise and attention to detail truly impressed me. Big thanks to Tony and the team at Bill’s Cyclery—excellent service from start to finish!
