Skagit Cycle Center

Good size selection of Road, Mountain, BMX, and other specialty bikes. Lots of accessories and a bit of clothing as well. It is a full service shop and some of the staff are knowledgable. I have had a few issues were I felt like one of the staff had attitude and was being disrespectful. I only deal with the ones I like now. Must be a family business or something because one of the guys there is a total D-​bag, and not just to me. Oh well. I really like the place other than my one issue, prices are about what you would expect, sometimes you can haggle for a discount. I would point anyone who asked about bicycles towards them. I would give them five stars if it wasn’t for that guy…

Have been dealing with Skagit cycle for years and am an avid cyclist. I recently broke a spoke and was told it would take a week and a half to get my bike back. I have a spare bike that needs a new cassette. So, I asked if they could just switch the tires and cassette so I would have 1 working bike. Was told that repair would take 4 days get my bike back to me. So… I took my bike to fairhaven bike and ski. They changed the tire and cassette while I waited…15 minutes. They told me they pride themselves on 1 day turnarounds on most repairs/​realistic. I have purchased 1 very expensive bike from Skagit cycle and lots of gear and repairs since 2006. In the past couple years I have been very frustrated with their customer service and especially their repair shop. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Highly recommend! My 11-​year-​olds bike had been «fixed» a little too much by him and was no longer able to shift, and I was looking for options besides buying him another bike. Walked into the store with it without an appointment and they spent about 10 minutes tuning it up and then it worked great. They even lubricated it, fixed the brakes, and made some other adjustments, and charged us under $ 10 for the entire thing. .. (They did mention if it was a more complicated repair that I’d have to bring it back in for an appointment) I appreciate it even more because my son’s bike was not top of the line by any means, and they treated us like it was bought at their store. When I go shopping for my next bike, this is where I’ll go!

Recently returned to living on Whidbey Island. Since moving back in March 2013, I haven’t found a better bike shop in the local area.
I’ve visited both the Anacortes and Burlington locations, but prefer the selection at the latter. Great array of gear, good staff, competitive prices. I had to transform my Schwinn S96 mountain bike to a commuter and they had all the gear to do so. Hybrid tires, shoes covers, fenders, pants, and good lighting. All done in a couple of visits.
Open a location in Oak Harbor!

Great bike shop. My husband and I went to two other independent bike shops while shopping for bikes. Neither came even close to the selection and service we found at Skagit Cycle. Cody and his sales team are friendly and knowledgeable and the shop is stocked with bikes and accessories. We found the prices to be really reasonable (and, in the case of my bike which was on close-​out, really fantastic) and had a fun time shopping each time we’ve been there. Skagit Cycle will definitely be the bike shop we go to first from now on!

Great group of people and knowledgable staff.

Great store with lots of bikes in stock. Helpful, friendly employees. Average prices.

Very friendly, knowledgable and friendly staff. This is our second time purchasing bikes and bike accessories here. I didn’t know how much a young salesman would know about baby bike seats and helmets but he was actually very helpful.

Rock solid bike shop. My first experience was trying to buy replacement screws for a cleat and they refused to charge me. Always a good sign! Other stores will do a $ 5 limit or something crazy like that. My wife had her old road bike tuned up and overhauled here and they did it for very reasonable prices, didn’t up sell and did a great job. This is now our bike shop of choice. You can also pick up maps of places to ride in the area, mountain and road. One suggestion to the owners: help out your employees and install a database and computer POS! I can’t believe it’s all paper. Who knows, maybe that’s your secret.

I had been shopping for my first road bike for a few months… we had gone to many bike shops only to have to wait an hour or longer for help. we decided to try skagit as we had heard good things from my brother. we live almost an hour and a half from them, but we made the trek. We were helped right away, there was ample staff, and we purchased my first road bike from Gary a year ago… due to the weather, I didnt get much ride time in. when we made the purchase he said i could get a free personalized fitting. a year later i finally scheduled it. Bernie did an amazing job giving me the one on one time that everyone SHOULD get when spending that kind of money. I will always make the drive back to them, and have since told everybody not to waste time at the local shops and make the trek. We are ready to go «upgrade» my husbands bike and look forward to working with them again!

Came in here to find new pedals for my road bike. I brought in my shoes to show what style I need and hoped to find something that could be put on my bike immediately. Unfortunately the gentleman helping us was more of a mountain bike rider and so I didn’t end up getting the information I needed, nor the bike pedals. But he was very helpful and outlined the different options they had. Prices were on-​par, to more expensive to what they are in Vancouver, as well.
The shop overall is packed with bikes. They hang from the ceiling and are lined up in rows all throughout the store. There is no shortage of supply! They also have a collection of cycling clothing and all of the basics you need for any type of riding. We inquired about bike racks and while they do sell some, it was suggested we go to Racks and Beyond instead. Fabulous suggestion!
If you have any questions or looking for a bike of any kind, this definitely seems to be the shop to go to!

Bought 2 bikes from them. Great prices and a good variety of brands. I need to stop buying bikes now for a while, but as long as they’re selling the bike I want, I’ll most likely be getting it from them!
Friendly staff as well. I haven’t gotten the full experience of seeing how well they know their stuff as I’ve always shown up already knowing exactly which bike I want, but there is nothing that indicates they wouldn’t be knowledgeable.

A few weeks ago I went down to the Outlets for a shop and stumbled upon this gem! We were looking for a cruiser bike and Spencer helps us find the one we wanted. With the exchange rate it’s still a steal for the bike we decided on.
We have since been back and it’s always a blast to go in. Spencer is great to deal with and great for the laughs. They also allow a lay away plan for us cross-​border shoppers. If you are in need of a new bike I would recommend checking this place out first. i wish I had known about it when I purchased my cruiser last year.

The best place to get a bike! Everyone is very knowledgeable on everything so be prepared to be well informed with anything you ask!
They also have great prices, if you buy a bike you get %10 off anything for a month.

Awesome! Totally recommend this place for cross-​border shopping and taking advantage of our great dollar now!
Owner (Gary) is very friendly and knowledgeable — able to discuss the variety of cruisers similar in style to what I was looking for and advantages/​disadvantages of those vs. comfort bikes, etc… The rest of the staff is okay, but definitely deal with Gary if you can — he’s been great in the store and also with the minor gear issue on my bike after purchase.
HUGE brand selection (Trek, Electra, Giant, Cannondale…) and location is convenient to get to off the I-​5, with a nice area to test out the bikes nearby.
I’ve been cruising around on my Electra cruiser from them this summer and couldn’t be happier… saved over 25% from what the Vancouver Electra dealers were charging.
I LOVE my girly Paris Hilton/​Miley Cirus bike… it’s so darn cute and comfy. Compliments galore and no regrets getting rid of my mountain bike for this!
