Ride Bicycles

Bike Mechanic

Hello, My name is Christiaan and I have been working on bicycles since I was old enough to ride one. I still remember learning to ride a bike balancing without training wheels in front of my house growing up. Since then I have repaired, recreated, raced, and ridden bikes to get where I wanted to go. I previously owned a bike and ski shop at Crystal Mountain WA called Rainier Rides from 1999 to 2007. I have worked at bike shops from Virginia to California to Washington as well as being a race mechanic for national and international races. I strive to provide the best customer service and 100% guarantee all my work. My goal in starting Ride Bicycles is to encourage my community to ride bicycles for transport and for fun. Come in and say hello. Read more

    Best mountain bike rental pricing in the area (especially for a full suspension bike). This past rental, I thought I might have to bail due to a knee injury earlier in the week. I called to let them know and they were very accommodating - they gave until 24 hours prior to rental to suss out my knee and let them know, with the option of a full refund. ...

    I truly enjoyed my experience at Ride Bicycles. They had enough inventory for me to ride the bicycle I was interested in and also to compare it to other bikes. Staff were laid back, friendly, and knowledgeable enough to help me make a decision based on my own criteria. They helped me put together a fantastic commuter bike that has been fun and functional.

    I'd been looking for a new bike for months. Walked in on the spur of the moment here and got a ridiculously good deal on a Norco. Super chill staff, very conversational. If you're looking for a new bike or just need a tune up, definitely give these guys a try.
