The Bicycle Outfitter

Bike Shop

Established in 1976.For over 40 years, The Bicycle Outfitter has been committed to introducing customers to the sport of cycling. Whether a customer is a racer, weekend rider, or just looking for a bike for their child, our store goal has been to accommodate all riders of all types.

The Bicycle Outfitter began life as Wheeler Dealers. It was founded by two local 18-year-olds about 1972, Fred Chestnut and Dean Hovey. Being young men they soon wanted to move onto other things and in 1974 sold Wheeler Dealers to a local Pool Supply & Patio Furniture business owner who needed more space. He tired of the business and in 1976 sold the business to Dick and Marilyn Powell. Read more

    Great service. Technician took care of my simple bike needs and also checked some other safety items without being asked. Respectful and timely service that I feared not getting due to being an older person bringing in a (loaned to me) department store bike. This will be my go-to bike shop forever.

    I bought a used bike elsewhere -- my first real road bike -- and brought it by here to get fitted. Staff was incredibly helpful and easygoing. I've shopped here for bike stuff for my daughter in the past and always had a good experience. Great neighborhood shop.

    I was out riding down Foothill expressway and one of my speed play peddles fell off. I turned around and rode back to the Outfitter. They were very busy but took the time to give me new peddles and cleats. I didn't have my wallet with me so once the bike was ready to go they let me ride back to my car and return to pay them. Definitely will give them more business.

    The repair shop people are absolutely awesome. Their schedule is super booked and in most cases there is a few weeks waiting time. But if you have an emergency and it takes them less than 15 minutes to fix it, they will do it right then.
