Hazards Cycle Sport

Love this place! Tire popped when I was biking home and came across this shop and Larry helped me immediately. They are really professional and, as someone who has been to several bike shops in the area, they seemed to care the most and took their time making sure my bike was tip top. Whereas other shopsseem annoyed and almost hurry me out of the stores. Great location too! Will definitely be back with my 80s bike because Lord knows it always needs repairs! Thanks Hazards!

Bruce is a gentlemen and a true professional!

Fabulous little bike shop. We were traveling through wanted to bike in beach area. We have four flat tires from Goatheads. They didn’t have slime. Sent us to hardware store and then they graciously fixed the tires. Polite wonderful staff!

This is a year late but whatever. Last year I tried buying a specific Allez model bicycle. Employee there was patient and passionate about cycling. Although they ran out of what I wanted they told me where I could possibly find it. Definitely a place to do business in the future

Mr. Bruce Davis is an absolute savior. I was a participant at the Goleta Beach Triathlon and was out of luck with a missing stem bolt. Without another stem, my months of training for the Biking portion of the race was pointless in terms of the race. I went to the Hazard’s Cyclesport booth in hopes that they’ll have a solution for me. Bruce’s was fiddling around using his creativity, and finally concluded to trust and allow me to borrow the stem on his own bike… This moment was amazing. For this moment, I was so entirely thankful for him and his kind heart! He made the swap and I was off to the races. I have no doubts that this bike shop is superior to others, because the culture at work must stem from Bruce’s solid kindness. Cheers and thank you again.

Came in need of a flat repair on short notice. Exceptional service. Friendly and knowledgeable. Fast and accommodating. After fixing the bike took the time to make a few needed adjustments and maintenance at their suggestion with no charge.
Brought in a second bike 20 minutes later, just as good.
To top it all off, their prices were fantastic.

Matt and the guys here are very knowledgeable and helpful. In a timely fashion, they ordered a missing part, replaced pedals and cleats, and fitted my new road bike to my size and I’ve never felt more comfortable riding!

Hazards is the best cycle shop in Santa Barbara. I have been going to this shop for over 15 years. I’ve bought several bikes and wheel sets here. They always keep my bike in top racing shape. The entire staff is very knowledgeable. Bruce is extremely nice and accommodates my perfectionist attitude with a smile.

While there are many good bike shops in Santa Barbara, Hazards is by far the best. The inventory is good and if they don’t have the part in stock they can get it for you quickly. What sets this shop part from the rest is the staff — they are courteous, knowledgable and friendly! If you need a new bike, a new part for your bike or if your bike is in need of some repair you will be glad you went to Hazards. I continue to be amazed by the level of service delivered by this shop. This shop truly deserves all 5 stars!

I have been a cyclist for 20 years and frequently travel around the U.S. with my bikes. More often than not I experience mechanical issues with the need to visit bike shops in every town, requiring mechanical work on what seems like a continuous basis. Of all the shops I have visited in my travels I can honestly say that my experience with Hazard’s Cyclesport has been nothing short of stellar. As a matter of fact, without going into details, I have never been treated so well by any shop that I did not already have a long-​standing relationship with. The owner, Bruce, is the pinnacle of all bike shop owners, and this also carries over to his staff. I highly recommend Hazard’s for all of your biking needs.

I’m guessing most of their client base have more money then sense. Worst customer service ever. Have been in there twice, got snubbed each time. If you’re not planning to spend boo koo bucks, you’ll be treated like a second class citizen. If you’re part of the 1%, they’ll happily service you and your bike, with great enthusiasm.

There’s a reason this place has been around for 100 years! Service, respect, and great ownership! Bruce is a great guy, his demeanor and warmth fit right into the feel of the store. Not to mention the store’s got something for every level.
Bike-​fitting is his specialty. Don’t care how state-​of-​the-​art a bike shop’s fit system is. It’s all about the bike fitter. Bruce’s experience in bike fitting (recreational, road, triathlon) coupled with the new Guru system makes for the best bike fit in town.
Along with bike service and fitting, Bruce and a number of the employees (Matt, Konnor) are triathletes and/​or Ironman, who are receptive and able to share experience in multisport needs. Plethora of wetsuits and swim gear along the walls and possibly the most variety in Santa Barbara as far as race nutrition is concerned, practically a whole wall.
While there are other bike shops in town, this one feels like home. Seems like I see Bruce’s Hazard tent everywhere a triathlon or bike race happens. Not to mention many of the local groups in town wear the Hazard’s logo on their kits. Not just your local bike shop, but one totally immersed in the culture and community of Santa Barbara.

This is a shop with heart and generosity. Yesterday, when picking up a friend’s repaired bike that I have never ridden, I asked for help with safety issues and the crew member who helped me, Dino, was more than gracious. He cheerfully showed me how to adjust the bike seat for my height, then how to make the bike carrier even more secure to my car. Next he showed me the best way to mount the bike on the carrier and where to place the bungee cords, then how to adjust the straps and turn the dial at the back of the bike helmet. I had a great experience.

Bruce at Hazards Cycle Sport is amazing! This is THE place to go in Santa Barbara if you need anything bike, triathlon or racing related. The crew really knows their bike stuff and they can get it done for you. This is where we shop for bikes and tell all of our friends to go to.

This place is amazing. In the course of one visit, I saw some lycra clad tri-​geeks, two parents with kids bikes and lots of «regular» folks all get the same gracious treatment. From friends with bikes costing more than many cars on the road, I am told they take their bikes only to Hazard’s.

Great shop! Will go to again, enjoying my free water bottle after the check in!

This is the place to go! I was at a triathlon and had a bike problem. With no cash I thought I wouldn’t be able to race. Took my bike here and they fixed it on the spot. Nice and friendly. I recommend this place, they definitely deserve the business!!!

Bruce saved the day Sunday morning when a problem with my bike threatened to keep me from competing in a race that I spent 6 weeks training for and hundreds of dollars in travel expenses.
His determination was impressive and reassuring and I knew he would find a creative but safe fix for my bike. Thank you for your time and effort, Bruce, I would have been watching that race from the sidelines if it wasn’t for you!

I’m a Santa Barbara local. When I started getting in biking, I thought Hazard’s would be the place to go. I was so wrong.
The first time I went was to have a pedal replaced on a cruiser. They didn’t even look at my bike. They told me they were too busy and didn’t have the part and sent me to Velo Pro. I took their advice and went to Velo Pro where I was treated courteously and helped in a timely fashion.
The second time I went to Hazard’s was to fix my out-​of-​true back wheel. It took them a WEEK to fix my wheel AND about 3 days later the wheel was out of true again with a broken spoke. Also, 4 out of 6 nuts on the fender were never put back on when I picked it up from Hazards so the fender was bouncing all over the place.
I took my bike back to Hazards for an explanation. I was simply told that the wheel was old and that they could true it again but it would just come out of true again. I asked why I wasn’t told that in the first place instead of them taking my $ 60. I got a shoulder shrug in response.
I took my bike to Bici Centro to learn how to fix it myself. Stand time+tutors+4 nuts+1 spoke=$ 4 at Bici Centro.
BOO TO YOU HAZARDS!

Best bike shop in Santa Barbara, hands down. These guys know their stuff and have for a long, long time. Super cool & super mellow.
If you are have any mountain biking questions, talk to Sergio. He is a living legend!
