Mike's Bikes

Bike Shop

Mike's Bikes was founded in 1964 as one of Marin County's very first Schwinn shops. It is rumored that our store in San Rafael was home to some of the first mountain bikes in the country. Cycling has changed dramatically as the decades have rolled by, but Mike's Bikes has never wavered from our total dedication to the sport.

Today, Mike's Bikes is a growing family of local bike shops, all with a singular purpose - to get as many people on bikes as possible. We locally own and operate twelve wildly successful stores in Petaluma, San Rafael, Sausalito, San Francisco, Berkeley, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, Sacramento, Walnut Creek, San Jose, Pleasanton, and Folsom! Our professional staff of over 250 cycling enthusiasts will ensure that your experiences both in the store and on your bike are the best they can be.

Why shop with us? Because we know bikes and we care. We don't sell snowboards, we don't sell kayaks and we don't sell tents. We only sell bikes - you might even say bikes are our life. Why does that matter? Because this utter fanaticism for our product makes us the best at what we do - We live to create cyclists. Read more

    Their service department squeezed in my repair when they were very busy. Their salespeople have been very patient and low pressure with no up-selling when I've been there.

    I just recently went in looking for a specific size bike. Brian, my salesman at Folsom MB was very laid back and professional. He found my bike size and color I wanted at another store. He transferred the bike over and I had a chance to compare two bikes back to back. Brian was super helpful in setting the bikes up and walking me through all the different specs of each bike. ...

    The team at Mike's Bikes of Palo Alto have been fabulous. Most recently I came in to buy a new bike after the carbon fiber frame on my 5 year old Tarmac cracked. From helping bring a bike to the store from another location for me to test ride, to ordering my ideal bike, to consulting with me on component options they have been a joy to work with. ...

    Visiting from SoCal and dropped by the Sausalito store. Found the two sales reps to be incredibly well-informed and helpful in regard to women's cycling. Great staff, very well trained, super helpful and knowledgable, great gear. It can be so incredibly annoying to walk into a bike store and have everything 'mansplained' to you. Thank you for being so cool!
