St Pete Bicycle and Fitness

Thank you Josh for changing out my bike tire tube! We were literally in and out in 5 minutes. I have came here before for the same issue and it’s always been fast service and nice staff. Very knowledgable! Thank you!!!

This is a really fantastic bike shop, or LBS (local bike shop) now that I’m learning the lingo.
I ended up at their Pasadena location recently as it’s close to home. I haven’t cycled since I was a kid, but after getting fed up with running injuries, decided perhaps a return to cycling would be a better option for me. The staff at the other location were extremely helpful and spent a long time talking to me about what I was looking to do, the pros and cons of various models and options, and then made some recommendations. They called over to this store to ensure what the computer was showing as in stock was actually there so I wouldn’t waste my time driving, and then I was on my way to try out some bikes as I required a frame size that wasn’t on the floor at the other location.
Same as I had experienced at their other store, the staff at this location were very helpful and all about getting me into the right bike for me, and not getting me up to a certain price point. The models I had been looking at online, and expected to pay for, ended up being more than what I needed, and they made sure I knew that there’d be no advantage to me going up to that level. I did some test rides, and went home to think on it with zero pressure from them.
Came back the next day, ended up with a bike for me, one for my wife, some accessories, and an awesome rapid-​release/​attach Topeak rack and child seat for both bikes that my wife and I can easily snap the child seat on and off of as needed. There was no charge to install any of the accessories. When I came back a day later to pick everything up after they had installed the options, turns out my vehicle was not quite large enough to transport both bikes. They offered to follow us home with the bikes free of charge. That’s incredible service and worthy of patronage, loyalty and five stars.
The store has a large selection of bikes, from $ 50 kids models to $ 15,000 competition models. They have all the accessories too, from electronics to clothing to shoes (including the various shoe mounts to match all the random attachment options). What I learned today while getting the bikes dropped off is that this location also offers classes, from cleaning to patching flats, so don’t overlook that if you want to learn.

Always great service, dogs to pet and a soda when in dire need. I’ve gotten a tune up, accessories for my bike and even rented a bike for a charity ride. Great location, plenty of parking. Knowledgeable staff makes me, the less informed bike owner more appreciable of the service.

St. Pete Bicycles has always been my favorite bike shop in the county, even tho it’s the furthest away from The area I frequent in mid-​county near the beach. It has consistently been worth the drive or bike ride due to excellent service and great products. Yesterday, I attended a maintenance workshop. I learned so much from the host, Josh, about myself and about my bike. The class size was perfect and Josh was very knowledgeable & efficient. I would highly recommend his workshops and look forward to attending others myself.

Went to the store, very welcoming. I told them what I was looking for and they showed me the bike that would fit me. Loved it! We went through some issues because of my weight and they was able to help me decide on upgrading the wheels to hold my weight at a very reasonable price. The entire price of everything was outstanding compared to a few shops that I have been in the pass year. Again they are honest and very knowledgeable. And also loved the dogs, made it feel like home.

We don’t live in St Pete but while taking the bikes with us on a road trip last month, one of the bikes was damaged in transit and needed repair. This shop was near the hotel and although they were busy on a Saturday morning, they still took the bike immediately and fixed what was needed. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

I didn’t actually buy a bike from this store but I wanted to leave a review since I received such great service there! I went in to find out about their options for hybrid/​commuter bikes. I can’t remember the name of the lady who helped me, but she showed me the Giant Liv Alight. When I asked to test ride it, they had just sold the small sized one to another customer, so she checked in the back and found a small. They put the bike together the very next day for me to test ride. I was impressed with how quickly they got back to me to let me know that the bike was ready for testing! Thanks so much for all of your help!

My Giant mountain bike got stolen. Maybe due to my carelessness. U-​lock not properly secured? Don’t know, but now I have no way to commute. So now I go here to get a new bike. To my pleasure, they had a great selection of commuter bikes. I got to ride around the block with it. I went with a relatively inexpensive hybrid Giant.
Then when I was annoyed with the squeaky brakes two weeks later, free and fast assessment and repair. St. Pete is a true bike city. This shop is emblematic of that.

Best bike shop in Tampa bay! Excellent service and staff. Very helpful and knowledgable. Highly recommend you buy your bike from here too!

We love the bikes that they carry. My husband & I got Electras. Seats are so comfortable. The service was phenomenal. I hadn’t bought I bike in years & they really made it easy & fun. We love riding the bikes & they are dang cute.

Best bike shop in the area. Not only do they have a great variety of bikes and accessories and great technicians they truly care about the biking community and supporting their needs. I’ve recommended a number of people, both experienced and new to biking and they go out of their way to tell me about how grateful they are that I recommended St. Pete bike and fitness.

Worst SHOP EVER. Awful customer service, impersonal team, never gave me a time frame to pick up bike, half assed tune up (had to re-​inflate tires– right in the store! and other adjustments I should not have to do), increased price without notification, etc. the only good thing about this place is the dogs inside are friendly and next to it is a tropical smoothie joint.

The bike store has a wide variety of products and bikes. Staff is attentive and will buy my next bike there.

I had a small fall over incident today before a long ride. I noticed that my left brifter was out of alignment. I took my bike in and explained what happened. Before tending to my bike, they were more concerned with how I was doing and if I had been hurt in the fall. Wow — was all I could think. He said it was a simple fix and had me on my way in under 10 minutes. This place rocks!

They offer fast and well priced bicycle repair. Unlike a lot of true bike shops, there is no judgment of the type of equipment you bring in. Great option if you get a sudden flat or need a brake adjustment. I got a new tire, brake adjustment, and new seat (installed) all for around $ 50. The place is locally owned.

SELLING AND SERVICING
Divided into two distinct areas, upon waltzing (or riding) into the store there’s a good variety of bicycles and accessories for sale. I’ve always passed this area and veered to the right… the «service» section. It’s just as bright as the sales area but with a large section dedicated to the bike enthusiasts who are ready to assist bike-​idiots like me.
The prices for all the services are very typical. I can’t complain with any of the service given to my bike. Problems or tune-​ups were always performed in a very timely manner with great care.
CULT FOLLOWING… OR RIDING
Most of the time I have to wait in line behind others who want their bike checked out. Service isn’t slow – these guys are just popular. And the crowd ranges from clueless-​looking young ladies to hard-​core roadies in full gear. I like how a counter ropes off the service area complete with bar seats – It makes the wait more bearable and creates an invitation to be chatty with those around you. This shop is close to the Northeast neighborhood which is bike-​friendly (except for that brickstone road) and you can cut across that place for 5 minutes before reaching the waterside bike trails.

Really great customer service my first time around. Brought my bike in for a flat and they fixed it promptly while I watched. My next time there I was having an issue with something mechanical. They told me that I’d have to wait until the following Monday to pick it up. That’s how booked up they were. So instead I took it next door to Northeast Cycles, waited 15 minutes for him to fix it and charged me a whole $ 15. Northeast won me over.

Wow — First off let’s start with their customer service. I called 3 times with questions. Really wonderful & knowledgeable staff with a friendly air of helpfulness on the phone.
I called them while I was out of town looking for some help on cruisers. When I got home I popped in. They had exactly what I was looking for — a super fun Electra townie 3.1 cruiser. Robert helped me out with picking out every fun accessory I wanted. Within a day I received a call that my bike was ready! I am heading now to pick up my new fun cruiser!

My first time being in this store, so none of the folks know me and I do not know any of them. Did that mean I was treated differently from their already established well-​paying customers? Not one bit… I walked in to have my bike serviced and they advised that it would be a 2 – 3 day turn around. Once they asked what I needed specifically — it was done and I was on my way within minuets! Simply put; you can not find better service ANYWHERE else. They wouldn’t even accept my money — so guess what that gained them? A future long-​time PAYING customer… See you guys soon for a RETUL fit!

Love this shop I wandered in last week and bought a bell/​compass for our bikes … I wanted a new seat and almost bought one off the shelf the sales guy told be it would be better if I could bring my bike in that way I could try some out to ensure it was right …
thank god he was right the one I was going to pick out wasn’t even close to being what I would have needed and the one they sold me was half the price of the one I picked. they put it on I tested it and no pushy sales or anything. great service and I love the lab they have running around the store sooooooo sweet.
