Standard Bike Repair

Ryan is a wonderful guy and a great mechanic. He takes the time to get to know you and how you use your bike. He won’t make you feel dumb if you don’t know anything about bikes, and you won’t feel uncomfortable if you don’t have a top-​end bike. He will patiently explain things and give you helpful tips while he shows you how to care for your bike. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

as soon as we met he spent time to learn my name, learn about my life and genuinely asked how I was doing. it was cold out and he gave me his jacket. although he probably had a long list of things to do he chose slow down and be intentional. he took the extra time to do things right. he is a guy I want to be like. Ryan is a man. his character was manly in the most humble way. he knows how to balance hard work and also how to be human and care for others. he was so reasonable with the pricing I couldn’t fully understand how how he made money. then I realized he doesn’t work for money. he works to provide for his family and care genuinely for people. I received far more than he charged. time with him today was a blessing. he silently challenged me to be intentional. when I had a minute I spent time sweeping his shop. with a man like this it only seemed normal to serve him. I will come back to his shop just to spend time with him. I suggest everyone to come by his bike shop.

I got a good deal on an old bike which had been left outside for over 4 years. Needless to say, it needed some work. I brought it in to Ryan for a full overhaul. When I came to pick up the bike, it looked like a completely different bike! On top of that, he asked me a few questions about how I intended to use the bike. and he let me work with him to swap out the fork and stem to something which would be more comfortable for my commuting. I’ve been riding the bike every day to work and it works great! I would strongly recommend Standard Bike Repair to anyone! Thanks, Ryan.

The owner, Ryan, is a nice guy, but he doesn’t know much about bikes. This will be my fourth time going in for the same initial issue, that turned into many other problems which stemmed from his first «repair»

I love this place! Ryan takes great care of my bike. I can always get an appointment right away (sometimes I just walk in) and services don’t take too long. I’m new to Boulder and felt intimidated by all of the bike snobs in the area; I could hardly put air in my tires! Ryan taught me a lot about my bike so now I’m confident in my knowledge of the basics. Best thing about the shop is it is conveniently located in the heart of lots of residences. :)

Ryan is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable and really knows his stuff about bikes. I truly appreciated him educating me about my bike & giving me enough information for me to feel confident that he was doing an awesome job. My bike has ridden seamlessly ever since going to see him 6 months ago. I had been to 3 other bike shops in the Boulder area and none of them impressed me like Ryan did. His prices are also very reasonable, which is great for a privately owned bike shop with such amazing customer service. I would highly recommend Standard Bike Repair!

While Ryan is a SUPER nice guy, he’s not quite the expert bike repair man… yet. I took my bike to him to repair a flat. He replaced the tube, and two days later it was flat again. He was super nice about fixing it for free, and even replaced the wheel band for free as he thought that my old one may have caused the second flat. When I got a third flat another two days later, I was pretty sure the repair job just wasn’t done well. While Ryan promised to refund my money (which I haven’t gotten yet), and while he was super nice, I just can’t justify giving any more than 3 stars to a bike repair shop that can’t fix a flat tire.
UPDATE: Ryan did refund me for the faulty repair.

Ryan was extremely helpful! He knows his stuff! Repaired my bike in a hurry and its working great now. Would definitely go back.

Good customer service is defined as making sure the customer knows you are credible and accountable, friendly and prompt, and genuinely interested in them and retaining their business. Standard Bike Repair embodies all of this! My boyfriend had a flat and he had already replaced the tube once. He brought it in and the owner replaced the tube again, and didn’t find any reason for the flat. A day later, when the tire was flat again, the owner backed his work up by making sure to fix it right (thorn in the wheel! Previously undetected) and putting another tube in. Accountability and good service are a rare match and found at this bike shop!
