20/20 Cycle

I can not recommend this place enough!
A rebuilt/​vintage bike shop with very friendly, chill, and knowledgable staff, featuring a selection of rebuilt bikes, repair services, and new/​used parts.
When they do work on your bike, they’ll give you the real low-​down and work with you to find the right option. Reasonable rates.
I’ll be coming back here for as long as I live in Seattle.

All the good reviews really hit the mark with his place. Not only did they replace my handle bars and give my whole bike a tune up for a super reasonable rate, but Chris also took the time to remove my beloved black and yellow tape from my old handlebars carefully enough to preserve it and wrap it around the new handlebars. I am so glad I chose ²⁰⁄₂₀ Cycle.

These guys are great, no doubt about it. The people are knowledgeable and the selection of used parts is pretty decent.

Very nice staff and decent parts selection.
Really is a store specialized in refurb bikes and vintage.
If your bike is newer with disc brakes/​high tech components/​clipless pedals I recommend another more specialized shop.

Initially I left a very harsh 2 star rating for ²⁰⁄₂₀ because the first two times I came in the person who helped me felt beyond pretentious. I have finally started to come back, mostly due to the convenience of the location for me. What I have found is that all of the other people who have helped me have been really friendly and helpful.

They have great products and the employees know their stuff, but if you aren’t a hard-​core bicyclist you probably won’t experience the friendliness that people are writing about in reviews. I got tired of how pretentious it was and finally decided to take my business elsewhere even though ²⁰⁄₂₀ is right near my house. ⁰⁄₂₀ chances I’m going back.

I am once again reminded why ²⁰⁄₂₀ Cycle​kicks 11 kinds of ass! Going above and beyond.
I’ve been a regular since moving to the CD and the guys are always cool to chat with.
Chris just contacted me about getting a minor part for a bike bag that has been impossible for me to find!

I had a really great experience with ²⁰⁄₂₀. They were knowledgeable and friendly and were able to fix my bike quickly and inexpensively.

Best bike shop in Seattle! These guys are super friendly and knowledgable. Been here multiple times and always found what I needed. Had a major overhaul on my drive train done and had the price broken down by each part before I even asked.

These guys are SERIOUSLY AWESOME! They did an emergency custom build of a bike essentially overnight. This was totally unexpected and far and above. The are super-​duper friendly.
Their attention to detail on just the smallest things is top-​notch. Outstanding service, really reasonable pricing… and they know their craft.
Oh…and they have Snicker’s bars… just when you need a sugary pick me up!

This place rocks! I’ve been in quite a few times, looking for U locks, replacing brakes pads, replacing my bars after they got stolen, getting a flat fixed. The guys who work here are awesome and super helpful. The store owner always seems pumped to help customers and seems always in a good mood. I love the stores look and decorations as well. There used stock is where I’ve gotten most of my replacement parts (very good prices on all their used gear). So far, my favorite bike shop in Seattle.

Sold me a clunker. Warped back wheel that gradually got worse to the point of replacement and numerous other expensive problems. Would’ve been nice to know that my $ 500 bike would include about $ 400 in upkeep over the first year. Crossing my fingers that this wheel replacement is the last big unexpected cost for a while.

I’m sure these people know they’re stuff, but what I like best about them is they treat you with respect and patience, even if you are an amateur/​beginner cyclist. The service I had done was incredibly reasonable.

I bought a floor pump from them one weekend, and was dissatisfied with the performance of the pump. I went back a couple of weeks later to tell them they shouldn’t recommend that pump to any other customers. They were really great and immediately returned my money, no questions asked — even though I wasn’t really asking for a refund. I get all my maintenance/​repair work done here and they are extremely skilled from a technical perspective.

Helped me out with a small pedal issue. FOC. Good people. Highly recommend.

You know how most bike shops are run by hipster jerks who want to judge your every movement and ignore you? Well, cast aside that preconceived notion and Pop into ²⁰⁄₂₀ for all your bike needs. These guys were incredibly helpful, properly educated about bicycles, and helped me with all my questions. They left me alone to peruse without badgering me. And then when I needed help, they were phenomenal. Better yet, they snuck in a dérailleur tuning for free and without scheduling a service. Props to these guys. I’m so glad they’re in the neighborhood. They are proper class acts!

Don’t go anywhere else! So helpful, and no extra costs. Highly recommend!

This is a small neighborhood bike shop; full service with some retail. Opens at 11:00 AM on Saturdays which seems a bit late on weekends, considering most cyclists I know go for a morning ride to find problems or need something for their bike.
The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable with good advice. They are not hesitant to make recommendations even if it means checking out another place. This is an indication that they care about their customers and are listening to what their needs are!

These guys are the best. Good service, good prices, good advice. ‘Nuff said.

I had to actually drive to this place to figure out what they sold and offered. The website is absolutely useless. In reading it, they don’t even seem like a bike shop. They have no email address either. Just a facebook page. Sorry geniuses, not everyone bothers with social media.
I ended up going to a bike shop that were more serious about their business than these folks.

Love 2020! I’ve been going there for a few years now and have bought two bikes from them during that time. They’re always super helpful and willing to stop what they’re doing to do a quick fix on my bike. If it’s something more involved they still have a fast turn time so I’m not bike-​less for too long. Easily my favorite bike shop in town. Bonus points for having free dog treats which means my dog always pulls me in when we walk by.

There are a lot of good bike shops in Seattle but I have had the most positive experiences and the best service at ²⁰⁄₂₀ Cycle.
They have been able to quickly fix things that have been plaguing me for years (brake issues, mysterious rattling, repeated flats, etc).
They always have extraordinarily reasonable rates for little repairs and weird parts. I sometimes wish they had a tip jar or some way to give them a little extra for their great work.
Even unexpected bonuses set them apart like $ 3 (or is it $ 2?) for those little tiny CR2023 watch batteries that go in my bike lights and what seems like half of the other portable electronics I own. Drug stores, gas stations and electronic stores have them for, on average, 4X more.
The employees are generally super friendly and are usually making goofy jokes to each other and /​or listening to some cool /​weird music that provides entertainment even when you’re just standing around waiting.
I recommend ²⁰⁄₂₀ Cycle to people even if it’s not the nearest shop to them. These folks just know what they’re doing and they certainly aren’t trying to make a racket out of the bike biz.

Everyone who works in this shop is amazingly talented at what they do and care deeply about bikes and the customer experience. I have been super impressed by the amount of time they will spend with the customer. They often are busy on the weekend and you may have to wait a bit for help but they care. Especially like that Scott will twine your handle bar tape! Love this place. We are lucky to have such a great shop near Capitol Hill.
I use them mostly for servicing my bike and can’t speak to purchasing a bike.

My attempt to repair the front dérailleur on my road bike didn’t go well. I got the new one on the bike, but it was not shifting. 2020 cycle was down the street so I rolled it over there.
The friendly guy working on an another bike listened to my sad story, took the bike he was working on off the stand, and fixed my bike. All in a matter of 15 minutes.
These guys are super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

I should maybe give these folks only 4 stars because my experience was pretty unique and may not reflect what is typical, but I’ll share it anyway.
Both times I went in, I was kicking tires on replacing my tank with a faster, road bike. Since they specialize in vintage road bikes, and they have a ton of inventory moving through, I could come in a week later and have a whole new selection to consider.
Both times, the guys dropped what they were doing and offered to help. They may appear like standoffish bike nazi characters from portlandia but they just walk the walk of a biking lifestyle and were actually extremely accommodating with my needs and questions. I could imagine them being less receptive and outgoing to someone who needs more hand-​holding, but that’s conjecture and probably not fair. I just felt like I ‘earned’ their time by having some focus and experience. They were very realistic about pricing and working out package deals that help both parties accomplish the goal of making them enough money to stay open, circulating inventory, and getting me what I needed and could afford.
Their inventory is diverse, since they buy/​sell/​trade pretty freely, knowing they’re able to fix up pretty much anything. And they had done a great job with everything I tried out, from ladies’ cruisers to intense racers (not many of those here) to a hulking mass of vintage steel frame touring bikes.
I describe the Bridgestone that I got here as ‘Paul Simon’s bike’ because it was probably pretty elite 40 years ago. I trust that if I ever have an issue with it they will accept some level of professional responsibility and help me work it out. My new bike shop for sure. Stop in if your bike is making weird sounds, you’re tired of factory fresh rei bikes (nothing wrong with the Fender Strat of bikes; not hating) or if, like me, you need an affordable, well built and maintained, useful bike.
Tldr; great bikes, great helpful staff, lots of scene points, go to 2020

I went to this bike shop not just for bike parts, but to help out small, local businesses.
That being said, I was ignored and when someone finally helped me, they seemed like I was keeping them from doing something else. After finally helping me with the parts they wanted about four times the amount for the parts that I could have gotten off amazon.
I left empty handed and headed over to velo cycles.
They made me feel like my business was appreciated, helpful and had the right parts in stock. Sure you pay a little extra, but you get a human to help you.
I will never walk into ²⁰⁄₂₀ again.
Sure they have cheap bikes so does craigslist.
