Baja California Cycle

What an awesome little bike shop packed full of product with an owner/​bike mechanic that is a master! I took an old bike in with shifting and brake issues and Jorge fixed it on the spot for a very reasonable price. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I have not been this satisfied with the service from a business in forever. I recommend this shop for repairs and parts. It’s a small business that deserves the business from anyone needing parts, repairs or a new bike.

Jorge is absolutely the best at fixing bikes.
Why take your bike to Trek, or some other big place, leave it for days, and pay a fortune? Same day service, great price, support this awesome mom & pop bike shop!

George is the best. He will fix any bike problem. Great prices. I took my $ 5k Niner bike to be build from the ground up and he did it perfectly. Mountain or Road he can do it!

For those that know me, I am a bicycle enthusiast. I was also a childhood super-​tomboy, much to my mom’s dismay, that used to ride bikes with my brothers on my own coveted light blue Sky Queen with a banana boat seat and basket that got plenty of wear and tear before I sadly had to retire it. And before they built the Pepper Tree homes in the South Bay, there used to be a goldmine of dirt hills and valleys that my brothers, their friends and I would ride up and down until the wee hours of the day until the sun set. We’d ride towards Imperial Beach to Buford’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream and Candy store and feast on rock candy, frozen chocolate-​dipped bananas, salt water taffy and Pop Rocks. Those were good times and I wish I could back to the simpler days where you had no cares in the world. Apparently, it looks like some things never change because I’m still an avid cycler when my schedule permits and forever a tomboy at heart.
Baja California Cycle is just a hop, skip and a jump from where my parent’s still reside in the south bay. When I visit them, I try to make a stop here and pick up parts for whatever custom bike my brilliant co-​habby is building for myself or for himself… so far, he has 6 and I have 3… I’m halfway caught up!
This simple store is small but houses plenty of parts and a good selection of fixies, townies, track, mult-​speed bikes and more. Service is good although there can sometimes be a bit of a language barrier. I used my broken Spanish from high school and was able to communicate just fine with the lovely lady that helped me the other day. They also offer bike mechanic services so you will be in good hands if you are in need of getting your cycle maintained.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Thumbs up!

Took my comfort bike rear wheel there to have the flat fixed. I was in my work clothes. When I put it back on the bike, it was out of round. Two days later, I took it back. He did a good job of getting it round. The next day, it was flat. I decided to patch it myself. When I went to take off the nut (presta), I noticed the adapter that converts from schrader to presta was missing. The tube was just put in the schrader hole with no support but the nut. I called Baja Bikes and the guy said he will look for it. When I took the tube off, I found the adapter lose in the tire. With no support, the tube was cut by the edge of the rim hole. I called the guy back and told him I found the adapter and what had happened (why the tube failed). He said thanks; I was looking for the adapter when you called. I’ll buy a tube tomorrow and fix it myself.

These people are really great! All about customer service. I went in yesterday to purchase a my first road bike, but they have a little bit of everything there. Not all yuppie but still very professional mom and pop store. They took the time to answer my questions and really made the sale. I was probably talking with them for nearly an hour about how to maintain the bike and what to expect for cost of ownership. They worked with me when I asked if they could throw in a few extras for making a large purchase. They even installed my water bottle carrier for free. Really good honest hard working people. I’ll defiantly be returning and making it my local bike store and regular stop.

A mom and pop bike shop which has your basic bicycle needs. George who is the mechanic who also an avid cyclist does an excellent job always. Fast service and excellent customer service…

Great prices, speedy & friendly service! Will definitely come back.

By far one of the best bike shops in the South Bay. Great staff and the mechanic in the back knows his old school BMX stuff. He helped me finish my project cruiser that I had been trying to build up in an old school style but with newer parts. He started me off with a new set of alloy wheels and I took off from there. I also noticed he always tried to sell me the RIGHT parts as opposed to the most expensive parts. That helped me stay within my budget. Now I have a very aggressive looking bike that handles like a brand new off-​the-​show-​room-​floor bicycle. My bike is in fact, a little over 30 years old. So a big thanks to Baja California Cycle for all their help. You have a customer for life.

I’ve been coming to this place for years, and although there are a few other shops in the area, Baja Cycles has consistently provided me with best, highest quality repairs from a very experienced mechanic. I’ve had all kinds of repairs and a few wheels built — at exceptionally competitive prices.
You can be rest assured no matter what type of bike repair you need here can be done at a good price. It’s a mom and pop shop so all the in store items are slightly higher than online for most accessories, of which they stock a large variety. They have just about any accessory you can think of for all bike types. Tubes are between $ 4 – 5.
Try this place once, you’ll be hooked on the outstanding service they provide. They are a bilingual shop.

Been coming here for a while.. .but it’s only now I write a review.
It’s way off the beaten path.. .more so that I almost got a ticket round there.. .not a big deal (I did mention «almost»).
It is kinda cramped.. .but for what it is, I can let it slide. The selection of parts is great. Some of these parts I can find online, but this time I don’t have to wait for shipping. and the price is close if not a weeee bit more ($ 1 more.. .i can live with that!). i have wpent $ 500 in one visit.. .and all i was looking for was a chainring.
I mentioned selection.. .but the parts and even full complete bikes is there. BMX (My usual), Lowrider (parts galore), choppers (my new kick in biking), Road /​track biking. Fixies, multi-​speed.. .they got it here.
reasonable in prices, but for convenience (the closest bike shop with better selection from me is PB), and i’m happy. Just know what your looking for. But i have some experience on my side, so it made the spree more welcome.. er.. unwelcome to my wallet.
Surprised not that many people have rated this place.. .but then again.. .I would want to keep this place to myself.

I’m a big fan of INEXPENSIVE PRICES and GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
The dude in the back (mechanic) knows his bikes! He has a HUGE personal collection of Old School BMXs so he knows whats up if you ever need some advice on a build or something.
He also knows about Fixed /​Singlespeed bikes and there labor is cheap!
