Backalley Bike Repair

Bike Mechanic

Established in 2011.In 2011, we grew from what was a tiny repair kiosk adjacent to The BikeStation. With over a combined 20 years in the cycling industry, we were inspired to create a confluence for urban cycling and a resource for the aspirational cyclist. We set out to provide full (and friendly) service, insight, and regional maps. We called out to our industry partners so we can offer top quality components, locally designed/produced products. In the early spring of 2016, we expanded our repair and retail space to optimize our space. We like it, we think you will too.

Our bicycle service laboratory is a perfect compliment to your downtown and urban cycling experience. We have the experience and know-how to repair what ails your cycling steed. Our fast turn-around times keep you on-the-go, and we're happy to answer questions. Our handbuilt wheels are among the best, most dependable available. We curate our Radventure Emporium to outfit your cycling adventures, be it for an afternoon or down the west coast. Come see why we're the Seattle Weekly's Editor's Choice for Best Downtown Bike Shop. Read more

    Best bike repair jawn. Ben and Julian keep it 100 and educate you with their doings. Friend and I have utilized this locale spot many times.

    Pro tip if you buy them a monster (think green and white) you might get something free out of them, even if it's their love. Someone wrote these guys are too cool, it's true. They love Madonna and Madonna probably loves them back.
