Ride On Again Bikes

These guys are fantastic. Not only are their selection and prices unbeatable, but their service and knowledge are second to none. We bought an adult Komodo trike for my wife for a great price only to have the rear hub fail a few weeks later (which apparently is common on this model). Not only did they come by and pick the bike up, they also replaced the entire rear gear and chain system with higher quality components for free. Ride on Again are an absolute credit to the community. Keep up the good work guys!

Recently brought my tire in as it had a bent a spoke and punctured tube. They had it fixed within 15 minutes. I was expecting to have the spoke replaced and to be sold an expensive tube but was really surprised about how little it cost. They managed to true the wheel without replacing the spoke & popped in a new tube. I mentioned a few other issues with my bike, was given some advice on how to do a DIY fix and they also said to bring it in and they’ll have a look over it. Felt no pressure to buy anything else. Super friendly service.

In April I was in the market for a my first road bike. Immediately on showing up, I felt like one of my friends was helping me out, as the staff was very friendly and helpful. After settling on a few bikes in my price to test out, I rode off on my first road bike.
Just over a month later, I was hit by a car while riding to work… Back I went to the shop I went. Since the bike was new, they had to order in parts to make the bike like new again. The staff was very helpful with the repairs and letting me know when all the parts were in. Once they were ready, I dropped my bike off in the evening and it was ready the next day.
Ride On is everything I was looking for in a local bike shop!

It’s been years since I’ve owned a bike. After being hit by a truck (not even kidding) I was finally ready to get wheels again. The crew helped me with a bike that suited my needs and had all the accessories I required. I now ride to work and am grateful that my purchase was easy and painless. Ask to see the owner’s picture with Lemmy: D

My son and I came into this store late in the afternoon on a hot day during «Bike-​to-​school week». We were met by a tired repair guy, who took my sons sad excuse of a bike, fixed a busted chain protection and pedals, an cleaned it up. 23 dollars and one later it was done. Both mom and son were super happy, since this allowed him to participate in the Bike-​to-​school challenge without any interruptions.

Ride On Again has done it again for me, after having my bike stolen from my garage uggh, I went back to Ride On to purchase another bike as they took great care in helping me with my first purchase. The staff are friendly and are very attentive to your needs, I even brought my new bike back the next day as the stock bike seat of my brody faraday did not suit me and they gave me credit towards another seat which fitted me perfectly. Thanks again guys! It is always a pleasure visiting your shop!

The bike thieves of Vancouver had broken my heart in a way that I never thought I would recover. It’s been seven years since I last owned a bike. While a student at UBC, I had my first bike stolen in the middle of third year. I got back on the proverbial horse (this time, a much cheaper bicycle that I was never that crazy about) only to have that crapass bike stolen again… on the last day of classes no less. I swore I would never own again.
Cut to several years later and it’s a glorious day in Vancouver. I have a nagging feeling that I can’t NOT have a bike. The nearest bike store was Ride On Again and I am so happy it was. Rob was fantastic. He showed me the best of the best, a beautiful mint green Brodie that was way outside what I wanted to pay for this impromptu purchase. We chatted about my price range and the distances I needed to travel on my bike and he redirected the sale towards some very nice alternatives. I gave them a ride around and then did the thing you’re never supposed to do — I hopped on that Brodie that was way outside my price range. Rob warned me, I didn’t listen and the next thing I knew I was in love. My bike is beautiful, low maintenance and perfectly appropriate for my city riding. Rob seemed to know that this was supposed to be the bike for me and suddenly, I didn’t care that I was spending $ 500 more than I had planned to. Rob gave me a killer deal though, outfitted me with a lock and a basket and 20 minutes later, I was riding home, a changed woman with a sick bike and a new lease on life.
Go to Ride on Again. The staff listen, they know their shit and they just want you, the buyer, to have fun. Because it’s pretty clear that they’re having fun.
Let’s just hope the Vancouver bike thieves don’t leave me a scorned woman for a third time.

I just got the nicest used bike for under $ 400! Hilarious staff. Bobby helped me find my new best friend and threw on a used fender for $ 20. If you want to buy an honest bike at an honest place than Ride On Again is your place!
Great bikes go fast but they are always updating their stock.
Thanks guys!

I love this bike shop. No attitude. Great staff. I enjoy there product lines. Always great repair work. Both times I’ve dropped my bike off for repairs done ahead of schedule and below expected cost!
I will be back.

I had a great experience purchasing my bike here. Great selection, excellent approachable staff. Not pushy or pretentious at all! I was able to take my time, try several different bikes, and ended up with a very reasonably priced quality bicycle. Definitely the best experience I’ve had at a bike shop in Vancouver, and I will be back for future purchases!

My 2013 Brodie Romulus was stolen from the kitsilano area, and due to the efforts put in by Ride Ons staff after police having contact them, we were able to recover my bike before it was lost in the circulation. It was really impressive to witness how Ride On Again staff really put in the work to help you out, it’s always a pleasant sight to see people who enjoy working their job and have that enjoyment reflect on the good treatment of their customers ! The free tune up on my recovered bike and the discount on a few safety features we needed to purchase were just added bonuses that come to show generosity of Steve & all the staff. I would strongly recommend this store over any other bike store, the service is top of the line and you will not be disappointed !

Decent prices, solid products, and friendly staff. Only negative was they wouldn’t let me attach some cheap fenders inside the store when it was pitch black outside

Cheapest place to buy bikes, and the people are really awesome, but they’re pretty lax about their repairs. Lots of little problems, though nothing major, and if you point them out they jump and fix it right up.
As I said, good guys, just… check all your parts after.

I took my bike here about 4 weeks ago based on the reviews I read on Unilocal.When I first met the bike mechanic he was super friendly and very knowledgable. Taught me alot about my bike which I didn’t know.
I left my bike there for a week for a tune up, chain replacement, new handle bar tape, new fenders, new brakes … etc. I picked my bike a week later and didn’t ride it for about a week. The first day I rode my bike I knew something was wrong, the gears were slipping. Turns out the freewheel needed to be replaced, and should have been spotted by the mechanics if they test rode my bike like they were suppose.
So I had to take my bike back to ride on again, and explained my unhappiness. They said sorry and said it should take no more than a day or two. That was a tuesday and I didn’t hear from them by Friday so I called them, took them about 15 minutes to find my bike, and just to find out they hadn’t touched my bike. They may have to order parts and couldn’t give me a time estimate on when it would be done. I was super miffed at this point. By wednesday the following week, I hadn’t heard from them so I went to the shop in person, and spoke to a gentleman named Don. I explained my situation and how they dropped the ball hard and what was going on …
Don went and investigated and found my bike still had NOT been touched. He did sincerely apologize and had them work on my bike right then when I was in the shop. About 20 minutes they had my bike up and working with new parts. Don was very nice and understood my frustration. Still not really sure how they messed up so badly. But the parts and labour were covered and I had a g/​c as an apology.
Needless to say as ticked as I was at Ride On Again, Don managed to sway my mood and I really appreciated it. Still wish it never happened, but in the end they did a good job. And I will most likely be back for accessories and gear, but I am unsure about going back for repairs and tune ups.

In the last month I have been to about ten different bike shops in the Lower Mainland. I must say Ride On Sports left a lasting impression with me. I love these guys. They are so friendly and helpful here. They don’t make you feel like you are a cycling rookie even if you are. The sales atmosphere is casual, but informative. I wish every purchase I made was this chill. They offered me a discount on the sale price without even asking. They even assembled a bike from the back room because they didn’t have my size on the floor. They made me feel like they wanted my business, like I was important to them, and my opinion mattered. At the same time they were honest with me as to what they thought would work best for my needs. I just wish they had more selection to chose from.

Did my research upon busting up my old clunker and this was the best place, originally suggested to me by my triathlete coworker.
Super wide range of quality bikes. At the lower priced end, refurbished and tuned bikes that Ride «flips» after people donate ‘em. Road, mountain, bmx, and more starting around $ 50 and going up, with road bikes going for around $ 150 and up.
On the higher priced end, performance cycles (road, bmx, cruiser, cyclocross and customs) at massive discounts. Bought my 2011 model for $ 300 under msrp, and that was by far not the best deal.
Web site is regularly updated with sale info, new arrivals, stock updates, and sweet videos. Check there and write down the info.
Staff is super knowledgeable and totally unpretentious/​not intimidating and doesn’t push a sale. Fit me perfectly for my new Masi aka my lover (sad?) Dealt with my neurotic and obsessive test driving and adjusted the bar stem to help me out for size.
100% recommended for all your cycling needs

I seriously love Ride On Again Bikes.
Not only did I score a sweet vintage 1969 Raleigh bicycle for a very fair price (and rattan collapsible basket as well!), but the shop also loaned me a lock to use without even asking! All second-​hand bikes receive a tune-​up and safety inspection before they are available to the public so you feel safe putting tire to pavement straight out of the shop.
It is clear that the staff are passionate about cycling — not in the elitist way of some bike shops though. They’re passionate about getting «ordinary» folks like me on a bike and on the streets.
I highly recommend Ride On Again Bikes to someone looking to get a reliable second-​hand bike at a decent price. The great customer service is just gravy.

I went in here and immediately went to the counter to ask a question. There were two employees; a guy and a girl. The guy is talking to a customer, but after they’re done talking, he just looks back down at whatever he was doing and continues filling out some checklist. Meanwhile, the girl is just looking down at something and only after the other customer leaves, does she actually look up and acknowledge me.
Overall, not a good experience at all. Do I have to feel like I’m a beggar when I go into a store to possibly make a purchase?

Probably one of the best business cards I have seen in a while.
Hint… «chaffing»
Over the years I have bought three bikes off these guys, unfortunately two of them were stolen in lovely Vancouver. But my latest is still in my possession and runs pretty smoothly.
However, it was in need of a little spring tune-​up, so I took it in yesterday.
$ 45 and less than a day turnaround and it is looking like new.
The price seemed a bit high, but I don’t care. I know they took good care of my ride.
The staff are still pretty chill, and know what they are doing.
Great sales on bikes right now too.
See you on the seawall.

Great bike shop. Friendly, knowledgeable service. I like that they have a range of secondhand and brand new bikes for reasonable prices. I would definitely buy my next bike here.
