Miami Beach Bicycle Center

Everything was great at the beginning, I could choose the bicycle I wanted, they have all kinds of bikes, since I needed a bike for a whole week I got a great deal. 80 $ a week … Till the bike got stolen … It was attached to the iron fence of the condo where I was leaving on Collins avenue … They sawed the lock ! Of course I went to the police station on Washington av. to make a report and gave a call to bicycle renter to tell him about it. Then I went to the shop and the guy asked me for 300 $ … To replace the bike. The bike a trekk 3500 was at least 6 or 7 years old … The breaks were so noisy that everytime I stopped at the traffic light everybody could hear it ½ Mile away from there … And the handles were old and sticky so that my hands were always dirty black … I hadn’t cared much so far … Even if the first day I had had a very important business appointment and felt so uncomfortable with my dirty hands :(but as soon as the tenant of the shop asked me for 300 $ for his old that was not even 120 $ on eBay (and I tell you I’m specialist in bikes) I was simply scandalized … I asked him about the insurance since I had made a police report (I had even brought him back the sawed lock as a proof) … He said it didn’t work unless the prejudice was at least 1000 $. I offered him then 150 $ cash, he refused and sticked to his 300 $ !! Since he had taken a print of my credit card at the beginning he charged me in front of me 300 $ without my approval !!! Of course I will make opposition to this transaction as soon as I’ll get back to Europe … But this was for me very bad experience … And the guy was really dishonest when he said he needed to replace this bike cause it was so old and many of them that they have in supplies are too … Certainly second hand bikes they got on eBay that they eventually fix up and rent … In total this rental cost me 380 $ for a week … According to the police agent this happens pretty often in Miami … So if I were you i would go for the miami city bikes … This guy has been so rude and so dishonest that I d recommend to stay away from them … Last advice anywhere you go ask about insurance … Which this guy didn’t offer !!!

We rented four bikes and an infant carrier from the bike shop for the entire day. The process was easy and the bikes were great. Friendly staff. Cheaper to rent these bikes than to use the city bikes if you will be using them throughout the day. They had adequate bikes for our 11 and 9 year olds.

I went once to their last location across the street and said I would never come back. Typical guy selling stuff who thinks knows it all l, has a big attitude and not even doesn’t even make 5% discount. Went again to their new location just try if I had better luck since I live just a couple blocks away and again the same guy is there, and same experience. Would not recommend this bike store for any serious riders.

The best on the beach !
I should know;
I’m an avid roadie who can hang (even if a little behind) with the fast Miami folks. I’m a serious rider. Jack and his family (team) always treat you right and more than fairly in every respect. They always find a way to fit me in for that emergency repair so I don’t miss a ride. They stand behind their work and do a great job. As a fellow small business owner in SObe for almost 20 years I can recommend these guys with the highest marks.

I know that I have said it once in the past, but this is the only place I get things for my riding needs. Alex, Danny and Jack have been helping me out for years, including the five years I lived in NYC. Today I bought my third bike from «The Family», and I am excited to get up and an ungodly hour to ride it tomorrow:)
You can buy your bikes online, look for the cheapest possible prices all over the planet, but nothing feels better than being able to trust that what you are buying is the right thing for you. If you go to the shop, the guys will make sure you get just that.

My bike lock broke while they were servicing my bike– I think it was just coincidental. However, the guy working replaced it for free without any issues. Great service, thank you.

First time last Monday and my bike is perfect now thank you so much and I back soon the service very good people are friendly the price is reasonable the location very easy to found !!!

Despite the good reviews and the fact that I found what I was looking for, the guy at the balcon was so rude and not friendly that I won’t come back to this places.
I just said «Hello, I’m looking for this (picture) bottle»
and the guy just said «We don’t have this», then stopped talking.
Why not offer alternatives, why not look at my face?
Don’t want to work?
After some time I asked, «Do you have another BPA Free bottle?», and the guy didn’t say anything besides «It’s $ 5» until the moment I left the store.
If you don’t want to work, just go away.

Friendly service
Price is ok
— 24 per day
— 80 per week
Friendl staff and good service

They were the cheapest place I could find for a tandem bike rental, at $ 45 for the whole day. Service was quick and friendly, and they had helmets and lights ready.
I did face a problem where my chain fell off the bike while riding which I had to put back in. When I told them what happened, they were really nice about it and actually gave me a 10% discount! That made me very happy of course :)
Biking around Miami Beach is super cool, and I definitely recommend this place to rent a bike.

Thanks Alex & staff at Miami beach bicycle center! They unpacked and assembled my bike for the Miami 70.3 IRONMAN. They also re-​packed and shipped my bike back for me. They’re professional, super friendly, awesome service, great rates, and just a great crew! I would recommend them to anyone, and I will use them again! Thanks Alex & crew! — Easy 5 stars! Nate A

I’ve only bought a bike helmet here, but I give them five stars for their excellent customer service and for being a well run small business.
The location is super convenient and I hope they can stay there for years to come. It’s rare to find a family run business in the heart of sobe. They generously lend out their true pump, even for bikes and strollers that weren’t purchased at the store. Small acts like that make this place special.

This place was AWESOME!!!
The gentlemen working here showed so much patience with my friends and I.
None of us are expert riders, some of us wanted to cute bike with a pretty basket and a bell, and some of us just had no idea what was going on. Regardless, they were super helpful and patient. They let us test out the bikes before we rode them, adjusted seats, brakes and all for us.
8 dollars an hour, def the spot in miami to rent a bike.

My five friends and I decided to rent some bicycles to cruise along the beach. We found this place on Unilocal and decided to check them out because of their glowing reviews.
The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and welcoming. The rental process was also fast and painless. We signed some papers and opt for the daily rental rate of $ 24/​day. They took an imprint of our credit card and soon after, we were on our way! Their selection of cruisers were okay; definitely not the newest, but they worked smoothly. They also provided us with locks, but be sure to not lose your key! One of my friends lost her key and it was $ 30 for a replacement.
I like the location of this center too – it’s not in the midst of everything, but convenient and close to the beach.

I live in brooklyn but use these guys to help me assemble my bike for a race I do each year. It’s a family run store with a very nice attitude. Service quality is high, even though they are very busy.

I had an AWFUL Wal-​Mart bike. The breaks went out and there were other problems. They tuned it up and fixed it. The breaks were messed up again but I was informed that it is because the pads were worn. They adjusted it for free. With friend my customer service like that, when the POS Wal-​Mart bike finally crapped out, I came back to buy a new and much much much better bike.
Alex was very informative, helpful and patient with my needs. Thought they would be over priced because of their beach location but after shopping around, they were actually the LOWEST price in a 30 mile radius.
Thank you all.

Great overall experience with my sales mgr Alex. From the first call, to the negotiations, to the day I picked up my new Trek 8.1 bicycle, everything was pleasant and flowed smoothly. A nice perk is that they offer you a complimentary tuneup the first time back after your purchase which saves you at the least $ 45. I would recommend this shop to anyone and I’ll definitely be coming back to buy from them in the future!

Absolutely great experience at Miami Beach Bicycle center from start to finish!
Before we even moved to SoBe, my husband and I decided we wanted some beach cruisers and in typical fashion I fell in love with one from a catalog that no one in South Florida carried in store. After driving to about 7 stores in the greater Miami/​Fort Lauderdale area we decided we just have to order both of the bikes since my husband did not seem interested in riding around with me on his handle bars while waiting for his bike to come in.
Miami Beach Bicycle Center had been our second stop in the great bike hunt and we had spoke with Alex, who along his brother and his dad, Jack, are the owner operators of the shop. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and really patient with us two bike novices and our million questions. Wanting to mull it over since I had never seen the bike I wanted in real life, I went home to sleep on the decision. After I spent the night with dreams of my black and white cruiser dancing in my head, we returned to the shop the next evening and learned that Alex had already left for the day. But no worries, hiIs dad, Jack, was there! Jack quickly took down the details for our bikes and said with the holiday weekend they would be in the following Friday.
Thursday night our phone rang, our bikes were ready! We walked down the beach and picked them up. The guys working assembly in the back were great as well and they raised and lowered our seats several times by a couple of millimeters until they were perfect. Jack also let me know he had went ahead and ordered a basket for my bike, that I had mentioned liking and that would be in the following week so I could see if the color matched. How cool is that?
Great service! Great local family business! I can’t say enough good things about this store! Go check it out yourself.

When a Deco Bike just won’t endure a 20-​mile ride, my next pick is Miami Beach Bike Center. The modest shop is chock full of bikes for sale (it’s a Scott, Trek and Cannondale dealer), and in the back, you’ll find local’s bikes getting tune ups and TLC.
For $ 8/​hour we rented a Trek hybrid and for another $ 10, they rotated my back wheel (turning a fixed gear into a single speed), inflated my tires and adjusted my handlebars. We left as total converts.
Upon returning later in the afternoon, Dan (the kind dude who originally helped us) mentioned a free community ride that takes place every second Saturday at 9am. This police escorted excursion travels from South Pointe all the way to North Miami Beach around 80^th Street. The benefit here: traffic is stopped and bikers can pedal in a safe and continuous ride.
A hyper local bike shop offering savvy tourists and bikeless locals with quality rentals and repairs while offering up a community-​minded mission, now that’s what’s hot.
Tip: if you’re a cool guy/​gal looking to leave Miami Beach with a memorabilia tee, opt for a Miami Beach Bicycle jersey rather than that «I’m in Miami Beach» lameness!

Avoir un velo ou comment vraiment apprecier Miami Beach!
La ville de Miami propose une location temporaire a l’instar de Velib mais le tarif n’est pas vraiment interessant si vous restez plusieurs semaines par exemple car c’est du genre 15 $ par jour (un peu plus je crois).
Ici c’est 80 $ la semaine et ce n’est pas le choix qui manqué.
Le cadenas et le panier sont offerts :))
Le staff est super cool et pas de soucis pour arranger la hauteur de sa selle ou meme changer de velo.

Great place to get a bike and ride around town. Very inexpensive compared to other places. I searched around and called different places for pricing. They were less expensive and the bike was well suited for me. the assistant adjusted the seat, I signed my waiver and away I went for the next five hours. Brought the bike back and left it there and away I walked.
Going by bike in SOBE is the best transportation and most people don’t know it. I would definitely do it again and go back to Miami Beach Bicycle Center.
