Bob’s Bike and Board

This is the best place in the area (and probably in Seattle). Bob will take care of you as soon as you walk in, and his sweet lab Ruby will great you with a wagging tail.
I walk in all the time for simple things & he patiently describes what’s wrong, then shows me what he’s doing. The pricing is always reasonable and the service is wonderful!
Much better than the pretentious, overpriced shops in the area.

This place is awesome! Robert is very friendly and offers great services at below average prices. Support your local bike shop by going to Bob’s!

Robert is just an awesome guy who knows bikes inside and out, and loves to fix them– any kind of bike, any time. No snobbery or over-​pricing here. He’s sometimes casual about opening and closing time, so maybe don’t plan to arrive at opening hour on the dot. But if you’re looking for a very fair, friendly and competent bike shop, look no further.

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable bike place. On the cheap side for maintenance and buying new parts. He has a nice selection of skiis and snowboards for winter as well. Highly recommend.

Very friendly very easy and affordable place! Very well Recommended bike repair place.

Great guy, very good at what he does, and one of the friendliest businessmen I’d met. He goes way out of his way to help you with what you need. Highly recommended.

Bob is super friendly, enthusiastic, and always charges a price that makes me feel guilty for using his services (i.e. he should be charging much more!). Anyways, I’ve been going to his shop for awhile and have always felt great about the work he does and happy to find such great customer service.

Before knowing Bob’s bike, i always think that going for a bike repair will mean i have to starve for a few days (oh ya me an impoverished college student). Bob’s is a god send, the price that he offers is by far the most reasonable in the udistrict. No longer do i feel ripped off for paying an extravagant amount to just repair a brake or a chain or a tire.
Bob’s very nice and i could feel that he really does care about his customers’ cycling experience. And oh yes his dog is adorable.

I took my bike in to Bob’s today. For brake repairs, new handlebars, and new tires, it cost me only 100 $! He’s always super helpful when I come in and his dog is super cute, too!

New to biking, I wanted as much as advice as possible. I popped into bob’s store and he immediately was informational, welcoming, and helpful. He helped me choose a bike off of craigslist and I’ve stopped there at least 4 times since. Bob is a wonderful, funny guy, who truly just wants to help and really loves biking. Great atmosphere, personal (theres only one salesman!), and he charges very little for fixes/​adjustments.
Sometimes I pop in to ask questions, and he’s always is very informational and does his best to help. Even if you’re not in the market for a bike, Bob can definitely help recommend one, or even let you borrow some tools to fix your own!
Overall, awesome pricing and great guy. Ruby’s awesome too!

I’d seen Bobs shop on my way to work and the unique bike setups on display outside. I read some Unilocal reviews and decided to check it out.
I brought in a bike I was putting together for my son to have some work done that was out of my scope. Bob said it would be no problem and shot me a price right there that was more than reasonable. He told me he’d call me when it was ready. I was at work when he called and I wasnt going to be able to get there by close. I left him a message that I would be able to make it a couple hours after close but if he wasnt there I would be by the next day. When I got there after work the shop was locked up but Bob was still there and he opened up for me. His work and service were great.
It’s not often you meet people that have such a great attitude and spirit. Bob and his shop are awesome, he’s super personable and has some great stories. If you dont have a sense of humor and can’t laugh at yourself or have an arrogant attitude you may think him condescending, but he’s really just a good guy trying to help you out.
This is my go to shop now!

I was in the market for a used bike, and after some sticker shock at Recycled Cycles and Bike Works I stopped in at Bob’s. While he didn’t have anything that would fit me, he did scour Craigslist for me and emailed some viable options. Who does that? I ended up swindling an older lady out of her mountain bike and took it into Bob’s for a once over. He got it into shape and fitted it with a more comfortable seat. My husband ended up buying one of Bob’s used bikes and couldn’t be happier with the price and quality of bike. We also bought three pairs of MSR snowshoes for much less than what REI was charging. We will go to Bob for anything bike related as well as if we need any snowboard rentals. Truly a stand up guy. Ruby is great too!

This guy is one of the best in this business, very honest and helpful. I always stop by for any question and he always does his best to help whether he fixes it or you want to do it yourself. I’m glad i found his shop. If you’re looking for someone to fix your bike, snowboard, or ski problem he’s the one. I definitely recommend this place.

Okay so I’m giving this place 5 stars even though I’ve never set foot in the store (I will remedy that soon though!) I called to rent a snowboard for my son this weekend and the guy on the phone was very helpful and friendly. I had him reserve a board for me. *Then* I made a reservation for the lesson online– and realized that the board rental comes with the lesson. When I called Bob’s back to cancel the rental the same guy was super nice and even offered a tip for my kiddo. Will definitely be going there anytime we need to rent anything. And the hubby is huge into biking, so I’ll probably send him there to check it out too!

I went to Bob’s 15 minutes before closing to rent a snowboard for my 12 year old son on the day before he was to go snowboarding for the first time. I was pleased to find a locally owned, neighborhood shop just minutes from my house, as it was a last minute decision to send him, and I REALLY didn’t want to drive over to the Eastside to go to Ski Mart. My son couldn’t have been more excited to try snowboarding, and the owner of the shop was wonderful, and made it easy and fun for him to get set up with the rental gear. I so much appreciate this kind of personal, friendly service. Plus he has a great dog named Ruby who hangs out in the shop. Highly recommended!

Good local bike shop for tune ups, maintenance and picking up parts in a crunch. Bob does most if not all of the work himself and is super knowledgeable, fair, helpful and laid back. He is a bike expert and a laid back one at that.

We’ve had consistently good experiences here renting skis for the kids for several seasons now. Haven’t had a chance to sample the bike side of things, but the ski side is very service oriented — and it’s the same folks so you’d expect good things.
As to the single one star review — the owner is friendly and jokes around a bit, and can be pretty deadpan about it — sounds like this reviewer was just humor impaired that day. Ignore.
(And yeah, Ruby is a nice dog!)

Bob’s Bike and Board rawks at concert volume when it comes to service, expertise and great gear. Robert and Ruby (his super dog) are extremely helpful and friendly experts. Rob helped outfit my whole family with skis, boots and boards this past holiday.
Rob was very patient and thoughtful in guiding my wife into selecting her gear for our trip to Snoqualmie. Since she’s a beginner skier and was uncertain about the boots, Rob took special care to make sure she was comfortable with her selection. Rob also was rented-​out of helmets for my 10 year-​old, but gave us one to use from his resale shop free of charge! Said he’d feel guilty renting it since someone gave it to him for free.
Thanks to Rob’s advice and special care in our fitting, we had the best ski vacation ever.
Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, B3 is the place to go in Seattle to get your Bike, Board and Ski gear.

Bob’s bike and board is the BEST bike shop in town! Robert, the owner, is personable and extremely helpful.
I have a commuter bike that I’m in love with, and love even more now that Robert helped me «trick» it out. He has also done tuneups for my road bike at a very reasonable price. The bike rides like a dream when he’s done with it. I appreciate his timely service, the choices of bike accoutrement’s in the shop, and playing with Ruby dog.
Glad to have a neighborhood shop with a knowledgeable owner! Check it out, you will not be sorry.

My family bought two bikes at this shop. Exceptional ones, for a very good price.
Finally, we have a shop where we can have a «bike talking» and understand everything.
