Go Huck Yourself GHY Bikes

These guys are fixing up my Cannondale Trail 6. They are hooking me up with a new fork. These guys have good prices and have great service. AJ helped me out and was very helpful picking out a new form for me.

Love this shop! The guys here go above and beyond to offer a selection of bikes you won’t find anywhere else. Can’t find it here, they’ll get it!
This place has always been a staple shopping stop for my family of bicycle addicts. In my latest trip there to pick-​up a gift for a family member I laid eyes on this beacon of a frame on the back wall. Long story short, I purchased this amazing German BMX frame at a deal I couldn’t pass up. While i’ve never built a bike from the frame up, i’m excited to trust the expertise of the GHY crew to guide me.

Bought some freestyle bikes for kids. Service and suggestions for bikes were awesome. Had kids bikes tires fixed here as well. Prices are good for bikes and services.

Honest, personable, friendly. That’s the short review.
I read the one and only negative 2-​star review on this page and it’s a shame because this place deserves a higher ranking. All the employees I met were personable and helped me with my cycling concerns on the spot. I will definitely be returning to this shop to have services prepared or if I need any equipment.
As a bonus the shop is located just a few blocks south of the Lake WA bike route on the southern edge. Just head directly south along the river between the Boeing parking lot and river bridge and you’ll hit the shop. Very convenient if you need some work done on the fly while doing a loop.

The guys at GHY are awesome!
They’re extremely helpful, super knowledgeable & take care of their customers. With the service I’ve received I can’t see myself buying another bike elsewhere! I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a bike, new parts, or even need some servicing of an already owned bike.

I really adore these guys. I’m new to mountain biking and they were super helpful. I decided to purchase my bike here (Norco Sight,) due to the great customer service and because it was a local business. I haven’t looked back. They were generous with my free tune-​up; they don’t sell me things I don’t need and they’re active participants in the mountain bike community.
Since my bike purchase, I’ve gone in multiple times to special order items; get bike maintenance; and find out where to ride-they’ve been five stars every time.
Spend your money here… support local business and folks that support your sport!

I bought an adult tricycle from Target last week and despite the dismal instructions i managed to put it together myself after 14 hrs. However, the chain came undone and the brakes didn’t work, so since i live close to renton i looked up bike shops nearby and found g.h.y., whom had 22 positive reviews and thus i was sold! :) I put my trike in the back of my truck on saturday and arrived around 10:20AM. I waited my turn at the counter and spoke with Zach, whom is very nice, friendly and understanding. He went right to work on my trike and fixed it in less than a ½ hr., and it only cost me $ 20 + $ 48 for a top notch Kryptonite Lock, YEAH! 5 STARS! :)

Just had my new bike assembled by jack and he did a awsome jon making sure everything was right they did a great jib getting it done the same day i brought it in in the box bike is great have gone for a good ride everything works great thanks guys will check in with you later

Toby rules! Thanks Tobes for sorting out my flat, and even helping me fetch my bike from across the super-​busy street. Excellent fast service, and really friendly. This is now my local bike store. Yay!

GHY is the bike shop for:
1. A mountain biker, especially the enduro/​downhill riders.
2. The everyday commuter.
3. BMX race, freestyle, the whole discipline.
4. The guy who loves and needs help keeping his 90s full suspension mountain bike going.
5. The rider who believes in shopping local.
It’s not for:
1. The road cyclist that is looking for a $ 10,000 Pinarello or Specialized Tarmac.
2. The people who showroom the store just to try out a helmet then use your iPhone app to see if Amazon has it cheaper.
3. The hipster that just wants to be rude.
Snooty factor:
Practically non-​existent.
I’d recommend you go there if:
1. You’re commuter, mountain, bmx bike is a bust.
GHY has a really good selection of:
1. Helmets; for the daily commuter down to the crazy downhiller. Finally a place that has full face helmets are a reasonable price.
2. Mountain bike handlebars.
3. BMX gear.
Customer service highlights:
1. The guys stayed 30 minutes past closing to help a couple customers (me included) and you wouldn’t have realized the store was closed because they didn’t even tell you.
2. Some Renton PD guys came in to see if the guys at GHY can do some quick adjustments to their police bikes and and the guys at GHY did it for free. It’s cool there is that community relationship.
Parking: If you can’t find parking on the street or the public parking on the same street as GHY, park at public parking area on the next street, Mill Ave. S.

The guys at GHY are very patient explaining things and outlining my options and costs. I learned plenty from them. The prices are very reasonable! The new shop is very large, an old machine shop with an Art Deco style building or something like that. Check out the floor mosaic on your way in the front door.

I hate to knock these guys, but I have to be honest…
This place kind of sucks.
I like the location. The guys that work there are super cool dudes. I just felt like they gave me the run around and they didn’t do a very good job for the money I paid them.
The story:
I had been riding around a crappy old bike and had blown out a tire. The bike needed a lot of work as it was so I brought it into these guys for a tune up and a new tire.
There were about 4 or 5 guys in there basically just BS’ing around. I told them my situation and they gave me an estimate. The new tire, new brake cables and brakes, tightening the handle bars, etc. came to $ 120. Yikes! «Did the bike have nostalgic value?» they asked. Not really, but I couldn’t afford a new bike. I bit the bullet and let them get to work. When would it be ready? Monday or Tuesday… the day I went in was a Saturday.
When I go to pick up the bike on Tuesday, the cables are replaced, the seat’s been adjusted, and there’s a new tire, but nothing else has been done. They charged me $ 80. Oh well, I saved a few bucks. I can live without the other stuff for awhile.
After riding it around for awhile, the tire becomes misaligned (wasn’t tightened tight enough?) and it’s rubbing up against the frame of the bike. The chain slips in the back and is jammed between the gears and the frame. It won’t budge…
I eventually get the chain out but the tire is still rubbing on the frame. Rather than take it back to those guys and wait another 3 or 4 days, I take it some place else. They have me in and out in under 25mins and they charge me $ 5 for the labor. Oh yeah, and that’s including them putting a new bike saddle on and an additional part. Yeah… I’m not going back to GHY again. Sorry guys!

I ordered parts here and came back to buy more, good service, easy special order process.

I’ve had about 3 bike repairs done by these guys. They are fair-​priced, fast, and convenient. They suggested a part for my bike so I could attach a trailer that I didn’t know was an option. It was the cheapest and easiest solution to my problem, and they suggested it.

My son’s tyre got a flat on the way to school and with the husband out of town I was at a loss of how to fix it. We could see the tyre was actually damaged and would need replacing. Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, was promptly greeted and they had the items in stock, plus only $ 5 to fit it. Sold! We had to run a quick errand down to Tukwila so we came back within the hour and everything was ready to go, plus the guy had adjusted the brakes too. Great service, great price, great selection and I love to support a local business. Thanks GHY Bikes!

In a community of serious bikers and bike commuters we got lucky finding a place that serves families as well as pros. Their crew is helpful and the shop well-​stocked. Bonus points for the creative name!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They do not pressure you at all to buy their bikes or products in the store which is so great. They let you test ride the bikes out in the streets and on the river trail which is awesome and essential if you want to find the right bike. I highly recommend going here if you want some genuine feedback or help on something. No pressure!

Since the first time I stepped in here, these guys treated me great. They are also active in the biking community with event support and trail building. How do you beat that?! Let me tell you… you don’t.
I bought all my armor from these guys as well knowing that I may be able to get it cheaper online, but if it doesn’t work for me, GHY records purchases in their computer so returns are easy.
The shop is small, but they can fix or order anything you want involving bikes and their service is through the roof. Also, there is a free parking lot around the corner. Great job guys. See you at Duthie.

I don’t normally visit Renton but I was riding around Lake Washington last weekend and had some bike troubles as I was passing through. My bottom bracket cups where starting to come loose and there was no way I was going to make the 20mile ride back to Capitol hill without getting it fixed. I made it to GHY and was instantly greeting with a smile and help. One of the workers, Jesse, put my bike up on the stand and fixed it right then and there for me without thinking twice. He was very knowledgeable and showed me how to prevent this problem in the future.
Because of them I was able to get home happy and safe. All the workers there were very nice and easy to talk to. The shop is small but full of every type of bike from kids bikes up to hardcore downhill bikes and road bikes. I would highly recommend this place!

This is one of my preferred LBS’s (local bike shops), and for good reason. The store isn’t large, but is well organized. Everyone there seems to know what they’re talking about, and they seem like good guys. Hit ‘em with questions, and if they don’t know, they’ll look it up. I’ve had them order a few items for me, since they just didn’t have exactly what I wanted in stock.
My friend John turned me onto this shop, where he’s been buying stuff for awhile. I’ll def be back to order more in the future. Oh, and what really impresses me is that they’re even helpful when you call them with questions and/​or orders over the phone, despite not knowing who you are.
