Tom’s Bicycles

I have been coming to Tom’s since I was probably too small to even ride a bike. Since it’s been awhile since I have had to buy a new bike I will say that my experience with them as an adult has been from their mechanic part of their store instead of retail.
They have great, kinds and knowledgable people working behind the counter that will hunt down the right parts and work hard to get your bike working at it’s best. They helped me with all three of my bikes, had a quick turn over and were decently cost.
They’re not intimidating either. Sometimes going to a mechanics can feel like going to a gym, intimidating because it sucks to feel like you don’t know anything. I will say that Toms does a great job at communicating to you what it is you’re looking for and what is needed.
Both locations are clean, well organized and fun to just browse and shop through— but can be dangerous on the pocket book.
I suggest Tom’s to a lot of my friends, they’ve been in Tulsa for years and they know the bike community.

Eric! is a F@cking Rock-​Star! Wow! Complete New front setup with Quality hardware within 30 minutes and half the price of the other local shops!!! Hands Down the Best Service and Mechanic in Tulsa!

Awesome blossom place. My friend and I were looking for a place to rent bikes to take along the river in Tulsa, and this is the best place to rent because they are right next to the trail on the river (well, sort of — they are in a shopping center, but you could def. park your car and ride across the street to the trail). They also sell bikes as well and anything bike related you might need. We didn’t end up renting because my booty needs a cruiser, and they don’t rent out cruisers, BUT the guy (was it Tom?! I don’t know) was SO nice and told us about the Tulsa Townies, these pink cruisers that are set up various places along the river that you can take. I think there is a website for it, but there was one by some mall on a bridge (actually they weren’t there — maybe it is a seasonal thing — like you could see the kiosk but no bikes). Kiosk is most definitely not the right word. It is like when you put in money and the bike unlocks. I need more words. Anyways, Tom was totally not phased my my booty requirements, and was so happy and excited to tell us about what might meet our needs. I guess it is all those endorphins. Anyway, they sell cruisers. So people should go to this place. And if you have a smaller booty, you can definitely rent here too.

Running is starting to take a toll on me and I’m ready for a change. Tom’s is the perfect place to be inspired to hop on a bike not matter what your skill level is!
Colin needed a tune-​up on his newly dusted off bike and I joined him in going to Tom’s. The staff was so kind and unassuming. The bike culture in Tulsa is huge so I felt some self-​induced insecurity but the welcome and comfortable atmosphere totally ripped that out.
Besides tuning up/​fixing bikes the store offers all kinds of bike gear and accessories for reasonable prices. Tons of race information is advertised well here, too. (Maybe one day for me!)
For a new bike seat and major tuneup for the bike ran about $ 100 and was worth every penny. I did my homework on typical pricing for this and coming here was a smart economical move.
Thanks, Tom! See you on the streets paved for biking!

Tom’s is extremely knowledgeable. The prices are competitive but most of all which I think is the most important part, they don’t insist that you buy things you shouldn’t. I have found that with other shops both in Tulsa and out. They are a very relaxed group. They carry new and used bikes so if you have a bike you want to sell, take it to Tom’s. I spent 14 years as a cyclist and would not recommend any other shop in Tulsa.

Friendly… sorta. The gentleman who helped us was cordial, but kept showing us bikes that were the wrong size-​he would tell us «we don’t have this one in your size, but let me pull it out and show it to you…» Then when we found one that WAS the right fit, he asked my friend to sit on it, asked her how it felt (good), then told her he would have to adjust the seat for a test ride…“ok” we said, then he put the bike back and that was that… no test rise? Guess not! By that time we had had enough of this guy and went to Midtown Bicycles and bought a new bike there.
