Transit Cycles

I bought a new bike from Transit a year ago and from the decision-​making and ordering process to the occasional service need have been super impressed with Transit Cycles. Duncan, the owner, is almost always there himself. He is super knowledgeable and willing to take ample time, helping me understand my bike and get the most from it (a souped-​up Xtracycle with a Bionx motor, high-​end dynamo headlight and other great features), explaining various equipment options, even educating me a bit about bicycle mechanics. Transit gets my highest recommendation!
P. S. In case you are hesitant about riding through downtown, I’ve found it easy, even comfortable, much more so than I ever could have imagined. The bike lanes and signage are clear, the traffic moves slower than on major streets elsewhere, the streetcar has not been a concern, and there are enough pedestrians and cyclists that drivers are attuned.

second time I’ve brought my bike in, and I couldn’t be happier! it’s a small shop so I never felt overwhelmed or out of place, even though I know nothing about bikes. the first time I went in I got my tubes replaced (with the quickness, I might add) and got a super cute water bottle (for just$ 8!). this time I thought I needed new tubes and tires, but it turned out I just needed air and a little strip on my front rim. so instead of paying what I thought would be $ 60 (or whatever… lol, I have NO idea what tires cost), I left paying just $ 13, AND he put my kick stand back on for free! the whole thing only took ten minutes. I’m so impressed. plus I love that Transit is in the Mercado because everything there is just so adorable. so. if you need to fix your bike (or accessorize — he’s got so much rad stuff in there!) you absolutely need to go to Transit. (Oh and if you can’t figure out how to get in from the outside, there’s an entrance off the interior courtyard, too.) ;)

Looking for a commuter or great accessories for your bike? Go to Transit cycles! I stopped in the shop many times to talk with Duncan about getting a pannier for my commuter. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted, but knew some of the features that I needed. Duncan is extremely knowledgeable about commuting accessories for your bike and he even advised me about some items that he didn’t carry. Today I went in and sitting on the shelf was exactly what I had been looking for. I’m glad I was able to purchase something from a local business where the owner is friendly, knowledgeable and reputable! Excellent shop and business practices! Thank you Duncan!

Just bought my first Christmas gift of the season here. Great selection of gift ideas for the cyclist in your life. Love this place!

Duncan is the best! Transit cycles is a great resource for commuter bikes and gear in Tucson, AZ.

When Transit Cycles opened last month I was thrilled to have a place to bring my Linus Dover for a tune up (until they opened, Tucson was without a Linus dealer). It turned out that there was an issue with the hub and what I thought was going to be a simple tune up transformed into a much bigger issue. Duncan worked with the manufacturers to get replacement parts (at no cost to me) and then went above and beyond to make sure there was a back up plan should the part fail again in the future (hat tip to Linus and Sturmey Archer for excellent customer support, but especially to Duncan for making it happen). The Transit Cycles website calls it «500 square feet of bicycle heaven» and I can’t think of a better way to describe it. Top notch repair service is just one part of what Duncan has to offer – everything from new commuter bikes to every accessory under the sun to cycling tips and advice, all located in the great space of Mercado San Augustin. I can’t say enough good things about this spot – go give Transit Cycles your business! You won’t regret it.
