Edible Pedal Delivery Service

This is your neighborhood go-​to bike shop for honest and good service with free quality advice.
I was given a Christmas surprise one of Edible Pedals bike — to test and make sure it’s the right one. It’s used, with the handle bar and brakes changed out. I have to mention prior to my ‘surprise’, I was at the shop testing a number of bikes as Sam watched me and checked on the way I rode to identify why none of those bikes worked for me– it was like a bike specialist identifying your physique to match the best bike he can offer you. In the end, this one was sort of customized. It’s a great bike and despite the used conditions, some wear and tear (rusty and torn saddle… etc) due to the age and use, I love it.
Because of work and travels, I didn’t have time to return immediately to make the official purchase. Days become weeks and weeks become months. 2+ mths later, I brought the bike back and apologized profusely for my tardiness in not returning earlier to settle this.
Everyone was totally cool. I was rewarded for my honesty (I admitted there was no deposit made when the bike was checked out) and got some good advice to make the bike sweeter by changing out some more critical parts like the tires.
Ex-​owner, John, is one of those folks you meet for the first time snd immediately take a liking for his easy manners and professionalism. He happened to be there and personally helped me install a couple of new saddles I brought with me, and patiently waited me to test them.
Enron and his staff there all have such good nature and passion about what they do, it’s hard not to trust these guys wanting to help every person enjoy a good bike.
Their prices seem to run a little high (thus the 4 stars) compared to the large sporting stores but they are a small establishment and you do get top class and personal service. Will take a rain check on those tires ($$$) but I’m now officially proud owner of a Gary Fisher thanks to these folks who took in this consignment and fixed it a little to turn it around and make it a better bike for someone else. Yay!

I like what they stand for and that they are so on top of their game. one of the perks of living in midtown.

Ed-​Ped always takes great care of my bike, been going there a year and a half. Great prices. I’ve had a decent amount of installments and fixes and it’s been all good.

So, I’m back. I went out to run a few errands yesterday afternoon with Midtown EP as one of my stops. I was so thoroughly annoyed, because not only was I having to track down my money, I wasn’t able to leave a message, because the voicemail was full. Grrrrrrr.
So I got paid for my Bertoni yesterday. Yay. Owner is stretched thin between the two stores and these admin issues fall between the cracks. He apologized profusely. I get it, and I know he’s got a lot on his plate, but I was still peeved. I get a little extra money for my trouble and assurances that my brake problem will be fixed for free. So there’s that.
I was still a bit annoyed until I saw that one of the mechanics Unilocal messaged me shortly after I left the shop. He had seen me talking with the owner when I came in this afternoon and later saw my Unilocal review. He apologized for my trouble and then offered to look at my Giant and take care of my brake problem at no charge. So sweet! I totally didn’t expect that.
I knew Edible Pedal were cool peoples. Before I got my Unilocal message, I was only going to revise my review to 2 stars, but now I will update to a 4.
Thank you very nice bike mechanic and thank you EP for finding a good home for my Bertoni.

This is a two part review… both worth 5 stars!
Back in February my fiancé decided to finally do something with my 1980’s era Fuji racing frame that I’d had painted years ago. We took it over to the Edible Pedal with every intention on trading it in or just buying a complete bike from John. After talking with John about our options he convinced me that he would just build my frame up into a great bike. He was so excited about my bright pink frame haha. He picked out all the parts and told me to come back the next day. When I arrived the next day my frame had been built up into a BEAUTIFUL little bike! I rode it around a little and could not believe how great it was. It was easy to ride, nice and light, and he even threw in a little bell for me. Love it! It’s been so great to ride around town with my fiancé.
Fast forward a few months and the front tire had started rubbing against the brake. It had never done that before and made it very uncomfortable to ride cos I couldn’t coast. This past Saturday we rode back to Edible Pedal and the mechanic on duty not only remembered building my bike, he just grabbed a smaller tire and swapped it out for me… no charge!
While we were there my fiancé asked him to do a quick tune up. We took a walk, and came back 30 minutes later. He replaced all the cables and did the tune up… for only $ 28!
Sacramento is very lucky to have a shop like this! John is so knowledgable and his employees are great.

Locally owned small business, who’s owner John is promoting ride to work and the importance of community. This shop came as a recommendation from a fellow Unilocal friend when I mentioned I had recently bought a used bike and needed to get it checked out.
I called most all the larger bike shops in Sac County all required an apt and cost started at $ 89.99 for a basic tuneup. Thinking this shop might require the same I called ahead of time to inquire. Pleasantly surprised that not only was no apt required but a basic tune up was only $ 40.00! I took my bike down on a Sunday afternoon after church and was greeted by a friendly knowledgeable employee named Andron. He informed me that it would only take a few hours and he would call my cell to let me know when my bike was done. My bike was tuned up and ready to roll in just a few hours.
I had the great opportunity to chat wt the owner John. I love meeting people who truly care about others and put others needs before their own bottom line. This man is amazing and a wealth of knowledge. He asked me if I ride to work or store… shamefully I admitted I do not. My bike is for pleasure and health. But when I told him both my boys ride to school and friends house his eyes light up and he was very encouraging. We talked about our kids and how his went to the same school as my boys go to now. Such a personable man. I really enjoyed chatting and learning about the city I live in.
All in all this was a beautiful experience. Fabulous pricing, friendly and honest employees, cute location, and locally owned. Human kindness seems to be so rare these days. I really appreciated the service provided and learning about community from this business owner.

Frankie is super sweet and knowledgeable about bikes! Thanks for hooking me up, my bike is better than ever now.

Thought that they did a quick, reasonably priced repair until the next day when, on an errand my rear tire seized up. Since it was 10:15am and I knew that they open at 11am on Sunday I started walking in their direction. I arrived at 10:30am and waited. At 10:45am Frankie, the delivery boy, was opening the shop. I explained that I was upset at less than 24hrs after leaving their shop that my bike was unrideable and that, no, it wasn’t a good morning. He told me that he couldn’t help me and that he needed to open the shop. I continued to wait outside while he knocked my leaning bike over, (use the kickstand, FFS). When 11am finally came and no one else showed up I continued to wait until finally at 11:15am I asked Frankie when a mechanic would be in. He replied that someone would be in around 12:30pm or 1pm. When I asked why he didn’t tell me that he said it was because I was upset. Frankie took my being upset personally instead of putting himself in the customers position and showing empathy. Complete customer service fail.
With my plans for the day in shambles I walked my bike to a professional bike shop where the repair was diagnosed and fixed by mechanics that are there when the shop opens.

I discovered this shop by accident and I feel very lucky. They tuned up our bikes and took and older bike on consignment… a very intelligent way to deal in used bikes. John and his staff were friendly and helpful.

I had a emergency and they took me on the spot. Very amazing experience. Very helpful and good prices! Anyone ever want to buy bike parts or get organic products I recommend them! I won’t be going to any other bike shop but them!

Edible Pedal may be little hard to find at first, but once you locate the shop, you never forget it. This is a fantastic place to get any work done. Andron has been my go-​to guy for things that I’m unable to do at home without the proper tools (like setting star nuts). He’s basically been my guru or sensei through my learning period with bicycles. He’s a great guy who does even better work.
Altogether, the staff are great and friendly. They’re all willing to sit down and have a chat with you when they aren’t busy, and it’s easy to learn a lot from them.
The shop itself is pretty small, and it doesn’t really help that most of the time, it’s packed to the brim with older, but beautiful bicycles. While I don’t particularly mind how cramped it is, it helps that the shop is located right next to Old Soul in case others may want a little more breathing space.

These guys restored my vintage Schwinn, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Super nice too. Highly recommended!

Upgrading my 4 to a 5 from Liestal Alley, which I’ve learned to spell right. I love this place! Came over for reflectors and the owner offered some used old ones so I didn’t have to buy new ones, and added a kick stand to boot. Didn’t pay much of anything. Consider me a loyal customer.

John provided great and fast service. He helped make some minor adjustments to my bike for an unbeatable price. If you need your bike tuned, this is the place to go!

I really love it here. When I moved to midtown, I had only ever really ridden a bike on my campus as a college freshman years ago. But I knew I should take advantage of how close everything is here in town, and lessen my environmental impact and use more muscles at the same time!
One of my good friends directed me to Edible Pedal and to be honest I haven’t gone to any other bike shops downtown. They put new handlebars on my bike for me, and I also bought a cute cow headlight and a bell that looks like a hamburger. I got a flat tire on the bike trail and they fixed it for $ 16. I don’t know much about bikes (clearly), but I ride my cruiser literally everywhere every day and I know I can come to Edible Pedal for anything I need.
I have never used the delivery service, but I know that in the summer they sell local Fat Face popsicles in the shop for only $ 3 and also last year were having a small little farmers market out in front. Thumbs up for Edible Pedal, my trusty midtown bike shop!

Awesome local bike shop. Twice a customer now, two great experiences in the bag, officially an Edible Pedal loyal customer. So much better than the chain shop I bought my bike from.
Great bicycle service, fixed my problem on the spot. Part: $ 6. Labor: $ 6. That’s a total of $ 12 whopping dollars to fix a problem the other shop couldn’t figure out and charged me more for. Took him all of about 10 minutes to do, start to finish, just enough time for me to swing by Old Soul coffee next door and pick up some beans.
Finally, the customer service is so superior. They don’t try and up-​sell you, they speak to you like a normal person with no superiority attitude, and they are pretty much just as nice as you could ever imagine.

After writing my review, I was contacted by Diana, one of the managers at Edible Pedal.
She read my review and really wanted to correct the situation. She was very easy to deal with through Unilocal messaging and invited me to come into the shop to give me a partial refund. She took the time to write out an invoice, which detailed the work that was completed on our bikes. She also issued me a cash refund, and gave me no qualms about it. She simply wanted to make me happy and correct everything.
I will definitely go back again and request Diana oversee the work done on my bike. She is responsible and easy to deal with.
Thanks Diana for helping me out!

Bought a used bicycle here. John and his staff seem willing to go the extra mile to help you out.

Don’t take your bike here for repairs! I can’t emphasize that enough. This is by far the worst bike shop I’ve ever dealt with. I originally gave them two stars but felt compelled to change it to one to warn people.
I went to this shop three times for the same problem and each time I left disappointed and frustrated. Their customer service is terrible, their mechanics botched repairs and they wouldn’t listen to me. They told me three times my bike was fixed but it never was. I don’t know if they were lying or just stupid. The problem was still there each time I left.
I eventually fixed my bike myself. I replaced a part that I suspected was bent from the beginning. I had explained to the mechanics each time I dropped it off I suspected that part was bent. They wouldn’t listen to me and never checked it. Instead, they tightened some bolts, over-​torqued some other bolts, bent a chain ring (ruining it) and pronounced the problem solved. I’ve never had this much trouble with a bike shop before. Seriously!

Note: This review is for their shop, not their delivery service.
Just experienced my first of hopefully many visits. In a town that is ever so slowly becoming a great place for bicyclists, this is just the kind of place to make them feel at home and around their bicycling peers.
I needed a rack installed but lacked the proper tools. I came in on a whim and the recommendation of a friend and was greeted with a smile by the friendly attendant on duty. The shop is basically a garage filled with used bikes, parts and a repair station. It’s the basics, but still retains a warm and welcoming environment. The employee dropped what he was working on and (forgot to catch his name) installed my rack in no time flat. I was missing a part and he even rummaged through some spare parts and found it for me. It took ten minutes and cost $ 5.
I can’t wait to try their delivery service as well. Keep «pedaling» your services around town and gain some more converts!
