Wiggle Bicycles

I’ve had some bad experiences with bike shops in San Francisco (generally tune ups seem to create more problems than they solve), but I’ve been super impressed with Wiggle Bicycles. The staff has been awesome, the turnaround quick, the work superb and in one case they ended up charging me less than they said it would cost. I’m a fan!

Found Wiggle Bicycles through Unilocal and so glad I did! My bike was in need of a lot of work and thanks to Michael and Garrett, I got it back better than new… reasonably priced too-​for all the work they did! My bike is now heaven to ride!!! HEAVEN!!! Michael made some really great suggestions and I’m so grateful for them because they have made such a difference. even though I was apprehensive about it at first. These guys know what they are talking about and are just really nice, down to earth guys who are passionate about what they do. They are NOT scammers or «used car salesmen» for bicycles. Just good, honest, hardworking people that love what they do and it shows! Thank you for your hard work and kindness :)

This is the BEST bike shop I’ve ever been in.
They help you and never make you feel like your problem is small.
Quick service and expert advice. Broke my MTN Bike chain and had it replaced and derailers adjusted for minimal fee above component costs. These guys know their stuff.

These folks are very knowledgable and friendly, even offering to secure my quick-​release seat for free after a recent theft attempt. I used to go to Everybody Bikes in the Inner Sunset, and was happily surprised to see that Michael had opened up a new shop around the corner from my new house.

This shop is wonderful. They went above and beyond my expectations. Very reasonable price considering how much work they put in. This is my new go to shop! Great, just great!!!

This is the BEST bike shop I’ve ever been in.
They help you and never make you feel like your problem is small. They help the person with they yard sale bike get it running but they have the capability to help you build a custom built bike from the ground up.
I worked with wiggle to replace my stolen Calfee carbon fiber masterpiece (bought at an extreme discount from a racer friend) and they hooked me up with the right interim bike, (that cost ¼ of the $ my insurance paid for the stolen bike) and only when I pushed did they help guide me to a custom titanium frame and build. The best bike I’ve ever owned. They do an equally amazing job restoring a 20 year old steel frame and getting an old classic back on the street at an extremely cost conscious budget.
This is 1000% different than any other bike shop I’ve ever been in. Every time I’m in I witness them hooking someone up with a quick repair or helping hand at no charge. I hope it doesn’t ever hurt their business that they’re so great to everyone. Half the work I see them do is done at no charge. Guys, you Rock!
Garret and Michael start with the assumption that you are family. Then they try to find you the most cost effective path. They go so far out of their way I don’t know where to begin or end with my thanks. I wonder if I stop by so often that I’m bugging them… But they don’t seem to mind. And they started keeping treats for my dogs…
There are very few businesses in the world worth a 5 star review but this is one. I went to Wiggle 2 years ago because they were by far the highest scoring business in the neighborhood and if anything they’re better now than they were then. 5 stars seems too low.

This shop is phenomenal– simply one of the best businesses in the neighborhood. Everyone that I’ve encountered here has been extremely knowledgeable, attentive to detail, and honest. I’ve never felt up-​sold or taken advantage of, and the crew here always takes the time to explain my options and the costs involved. Rather than simply diagnosing and fixing individual problems, they’ve always returned my bike to me in all-​around top condition.
I’ll continue referring friends here and will be a customer as long as we’re both in the neighborhood. Thanks!

Wiggle Bicycles is the ideal bike shop.
Their entire staff is friendly, honest and knowledgable — and regularly go the extra mile to ensure you are well informed when researching or making a buying decision.
After breaking my wheel, I came into the shop and spoke with Michael and Garret. Together they walked me through my options for repairing or replacing my wheel.
I decided to go with replacing both wheels. Michael let me know they had one wheel in stock and could order the other by end-​of-​week. After shipping was delayed, Garret let me when they expected the 2^nd wheel to be delivered and called me once it had been installed and the bike was ready for pick up.
Picking up my bike, I immediately noticed it had been clean top to bottom, and Garret let me know that after a few weeks of riding I should come back in for a free wheel adjustment to make sure I still had a smooth ride and to prevent damaging.
With their great service and excellent pricing I’ll be a customer for life.
Thank You!

Bike Shops are oftentimes stressful places. You somehow always end up spending more than you want to and the staff make you feel like an idiot for the way you ride/​maintain your bike. Wiggle Bikes is the TOTAL OPPOSITE of that! I brought in my bike for some new parts, they put it all together for me within my price range and offered me some great advice on keeping my gears churning smoothly. I will come back to this shop for all my bike needs and as far as I’m concerned they are the gold standard for how a bike shop should operate and treat their customers.

The people who work in Wiggle are really nice! we have been to the place for three times for bike reparing. Totally, we spent five dollars! The reason for the five dollars was that we bought a bottle cage… The did not charge us any reparing fee!

Time and time again, Garrett and Michael have gone out of their way to give incredible service. I went in once with minor disc brake trouble, and Garrett took 10 minutes to explain and resolve the problem, then insisted on not charging me for his time! The next time I needed significant maintenance (disc brake, chain, and cassette replacement), I gladly brought it in to Wiggle Bicycles, and Michael did fine work.
Needless to say, when I found myself in the market for a new bike (the old one having been stolen…), I had no hesitation in going straight to Wiggle Bicycles. Garrett listened to all of the research I had done, gave cogent thoughts on what he thought would best suit me and my needs, and even offered to help me vet Craigslist listings for used bikes. When I asked to test-​ride a bike that he didn’t have in stock, he let me know it might take a few days for him to build one (it was a busy Saturday morning), then *called back in two hours* to say he’d already finished assembling one for me to test ride! Now *that’s* exceptional salesmanship.
I ended up purchasing a new Kona Dew, and have been quite happy with it. After riding it for a month, I noticed a possible minor manufacturer’s defect in the tire and took it in for Garrett to look at. He eyeballed it, said «better safe than sorry,» and swapped it out for me on the spot, free of charge.
I cannot recommend Wiggle Bicycles highly enough. Garrett and Michael manage to be both technical experts and courteous businessmen. Whether you’re looking for a quick tune up, a new bike, or just some solid advice, they’ve got you covered.
Wiggle Bicycles will be my bike shop for as long as I live here. I encourage you to make it yours as well.

super helpful and nice. I’m a newbie to riding, and they weren’t assholes about my stupid questions or easy bike fix, thanks guys ;) I called ahead to see how busy they were, and they were super chill, super fast.
I went on a bike ride immediately after.

Wiggle bikes was awesome! i just moved to San Francisco, and this bike shop was second on my list to visit. Michael was incredibly nice and helpful. He spoke with me at length about the pros and cons of a new bike vs a used bike. We discussed total cost, resale value, city bike laws, as well as how to bike hills (I’m from New Orleans). I was able to take the bike I was interested in buying out for a spin twice over the course of 2 days. In addition, it’s their policy to give a free tune up at 2 and 12 months if you purchase a new bike. Overall, the service was excellent, the prices were very reasonable, and after 2 weeks on my bike, I couldn’t be happier. If you are new to the city and need a bike, definitely go here first.

A huge thank you to Wiggle Bicycles for helping me through San Francisco tax season. Getting your wheels stolen is so saddening, demoralizing and anger inducing. Wiggle Bicycles made up for my loss and more! Michael walked me through all the parts I’d need for my vintage cannondale to get it back up and running. Not to mention gave me an awesome discount taking into considerate the theft. Garrett did a damn fine job putting my bike back together with some brand new shiny wheels and fun tires. My bike rides and IS without a doubt BETTER than before. Thanks so much guys for the good work and not breaking the bank…

I bought my 2003ish K2 road bike back in 2009 used. During that time, I’ve taken the bike in 3 or so times; the dérailleur broke once, as did the hanger and the third time it was just for a tune up. In all that time, other than those two parts, everything had remained the same as no other mechanic ever briefed me on anything other than what I came in for.
I ride my bike A LOT and for something I love so much, I haven’t been the best at taking care of it. After initially going to Mike’s Bikes in SOMA after I realized the hanger was bent again and not being impressed with the knowledge there, I took my bike to the Wiggle on another friend’s recommendation. Mike spent a good chunk of time not only walking me through all the wear and tear I’d done over time, but what had actually caused all of that as well. He answered all my questions and explained why not dealing with certain issues (like my chain or the fact that the dérailleur another mechanic put on was too big for the bike) sooner rather than later leads to worse issues. Initially, I was worried about the cost of fixing the bike vs. what I paid for it would be.
Not only did Mike come in $ 30 less than I was expecting, but my bike has NEVER, EVER ridden like the magical machine it does now. This repair seemed truly daunting at first and I was a bit overwhelmed by how much work it needed but none of that matters in comparison to the way it feels while I’m riding it and the short few days it took for them to work on it.
Thank you Wiggle for making one of my post valued possessions truly feel brand new and something I can whip around all the time. You’ve got my business and any friend who ever asks for a recommendations as well.

I was of course riding the wiggle when I stopped in to pick up an extra tube and top off on air. I saw they’d done a full revamp of an early 80’s Schwinn World Sport that looked great, so I inquired what they would do with my mid-80’s Japanese bike. After talking with Garrett and Mike, we decided to replace my wheels, derailleurs, crankset — pretty much all the moving parts. They went out of their way to work with my budget, and I could tell they were excited to bring my bike back from the edge. I picked it up a few days later and it rides like a new bike, and weighs 4 lbs less thanks to the new components and wheels (mostly wheels). Thanks for the advice and great work.
Bottom Line: friendly and helpful staff. Local shop. Reasonably priced, and they take pride in their craft.

Great neighborhood bike shop with awesome customer service! These guys care about the community and the neighborhood which goes miles for my review.
I was planning a bike ride for july 4^th only to realize the morning of july 4^th that my tube had a hole in it. Wiggle Bicycles was not open on the holiday– but I went to their shop anyway on an off chance someone would be there. Luckily enough– Michael was there about to head out on a bike ride of his own. I knocked on the window and he graciously sold me a much needed bike tube so that I could have my ride that day as well. Now that’s some service!
Thanks guys will be back for sure!

just went in with my bike seat hurting me and expecting to buy a new seat and spend about $ 100. Jim did a few adjustments and replaced my break pads, all for around $ 30!
When I rode my bike after a few seat adjustments I was shocked at how better and different it felt.
I continue to be very pleased with the service I receive here.
thank you!

I was lucky to have Wiggle Bicycles shop one block from where I live!
It appeared that my bike was not mounted properly. The brakes needed to be repositioned, the crank was wiggling and the chainwheel was not aligned. All of this was done in few minutes by a very nice bike professional for a couple of dollars.
I really enjoyed my bike ride after these quick fixes!

Any business, whether large or small, has to make sure that customer service is the name of the game.
Wiggle Bicycles knows a *lot* about customer service. Attentive, courteous, and honorable.
Without any appointment, technician Jim offered immediate service on a routine break pad replacement, and provided a tune-​up adjustment a week later.
They stand by their work, and I left happy and confident that my bike is in good order. I recommend Wiggle Bicycles! Thanks!
