Action Bikes

These guys are awesome, I trust them without a question. They are willing to share information/​knowledge about bikes, riding, and accessories. Old school bike shop feel but up to date on the latest technology. My favorite shop!

I had issues assembling my sons bike, so I called this morning to see if it would be okay to swing by, dropped it off and my sons bike was available for pick up in an hour. I have a happy kid now. Thank you!

The customer service at action bikes is unparalleled.
I wanted to get into cycling, and actually am planning on doing a tour of the U.S. now.
When I came in, I knew nothing about bicycles and they were so patient with me. I wanted a vintage style Fuji touring bike, and they gave me all of the information.
Eventually they talked me into a 29er instead. They really cared about my goals and which bike I got. The vintage touring bike and the 29er were almost the same price, so I know they weren’t just trying to squeeze money out of me.
In fact, you will never feel like that here because the owner and employees are truly doing it just because they love cycling.
Anyways, they took a huge amount of time with me, helping me choose over a period of days. When my fiancé wanted to buy a bicycle, they did the same thing with him. When we wanted accessories, they again proved their customer service skills.
Months later, I love my bike and am happier than ever with my purchase!
I can’t recommend a business enough.

Howard and the guys at action bikes are awesome! Bought my first hardtail 29er about a year back and just purchased my first full suspension and couldn’t be any happier. I test rode multiple bikes and Howard showed me plenty of options that weren’t in the shop and the guys were great setting me up and getting me out the door. I send all my buddies to action bikes and they love it. I have never left the shop without learning something new from Howard or the guys.

Outstanding service and a great atmosphere.
I thought I wanted a Wal-​Mart bike (!) and I am so glad I stopped in last week to see Howard and the guys!
I left without a bike but with some things to consider… came back this week and they got me all set up with the equipment I needed.
Super knowledgeable and friendly staff that won’t sell you anything you don’t want or need and the service continues past the sale. Normally that kind of service costs a little more but a quick scan of the shop revealed some pretty competitive prices.
Caters to military, LE, racers, enthusiasts and people like me who don’t have a clue.
If you’re reading this on your way to Wally World, stop in-you’ll be glad you did.
Thanks!

I’m 6,000 miles into my tour of the country via bicycle and swung over to Action Bikes on my way out of San Antonio to pick up a spare inner tube and some new brake pads. They liked what I was doing so much that as I was handing them my credit card to pay for the two items the guy at the register simply said it was on the house. Big thanks to Action Bikes!

Great local bike shop. They have a huge selection of parts along with some great advice on repairs, etc. I really like supporting local bike shops and this is a good one to support.

The staff at action bikes are amazing. You know that Howard loves bikes because he literally talked to my wife and I for an hour about the merits of a 29er, Colorado, trails, and bike fitting. Unfortunately I did not buy a bike here, as my buddy sold me his high end bike. However, I most definitely took it to action bikes for assembly and tuning. Jared was patient with my questions, and had it ready to go the next day. When I went to pick it up nick talked to me for another 20 min about the bike and parts, etc. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. The shop is well stocked and crammed with bikes.
I don’t really give Kudos or vouch for anything unless I really mean it, and action bikes has earned my business for as long as I am here, so much so that I am willing to spend a little more just for the customer service and support rather than buying online.

Two visits to this shop for spare tube and tire… the place was crowded with bikes and customers. The staff were friendly and quick to address issues. The store is small but it is big on customer service.

I brought my Trek in with bottom bracket creaks and clanks and groans and was given a fast accurate diagnosis. We discussed a few other issues and my bike was returned two days later in excellent repaired condition, for a very reasonable price. I never felt any sales pressure at all– in fact I enjoyed discussing rides, fitness and bicycle design with Howard very much. This is a friendly professional shop that I’m happy to recommend.

I will definitely be going back to this location for any other riding needs or knowledge. Howard was awesome with helping a noob understand the whys behind the answer. We went in for a helmet and stayed for around 30 minutes of questions and answers and regular convo. Never felt uncomfortable or pushed to purchase anything. Great environment. Mahalo guys!

I bought a bike on Craigslist, knowing it had some problems but thinking the repair costs would be worth it.
Took it to Action Bikes. Was made to feel like a long lost friend even if I hadn’t bought my bike there. In fact, seeing the large selection of bikes in the shop, I realized I could have had as good or better a bike — and a new one — for close to the same cost.
In over an hour over two days, I was never made to feel I’d asked a dumb question. Answers were knowledgeable, and not terse. Best of all, I was able to hear them because loud music was not playing in the shop.
All the parts I needed were on hand (new tires, tubes, a spoke, gear cable assembly) and the bike was ready the next day, as promised. The cost of parts and labor seemed on target. Those of us who are or were in the military get a discount as well.
Action Bikes is the kind of shop every town needs to have. We’ll be a lot worse off if it’s gone. By which I mean I wish I hadn’t already bought a book, a lock and a seat at Amazon. Action Bikes had the same ones (maybe not the same lock), and for about the same price.
Howard and his crew have a great shop. Let’s support them.

Excellent shop! Howard was awesome. Fixed 2 flats in 30 minutes and changed out my bike pedals — for a really fair price. Explained everything that he was doing, and he couldn’t have been any more friendly! Definitely recommend this place! And they have a military discount.

I’m new when it comes to biking, and I brought my bike in needing some advice. Howard and the other employees were EXTREMELY helpful and patient with me; they answered all my questions, helped me figure out the best solution to my problem, and even test-​rode the bike to make sure everything was in order. No one pressured me into buying anything unnecessary, and Howard helped me custom tailor my bike to my needs.
tl;dnr version: I am extremely pleased with the product selection, customer service, and expertise at this store. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks Howard!

Howard runs a bike shop the way it’s supposed to be run. Friendly and knowledgeable and very good prices. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. For a repair or a new bike this is the shop for you!

I decided to buy a bike in July 2013, due to an ankle injury that prohibited me from running. I preferred hitting the pavement in a new pair of NB Minimus but decided to give a bike a try. I googled bike shops in the area and decided to go to Action Bikes.
Howard answered my questions, was very patient with me, and never pushy. I felt that he cared about my needs and not just wanting to make a sale. I was able to test ride a bike and an hour later it was purchased.
I took my bike to the shop this week (May 2014) for maintenance; my bike had been stored for 9 mos while I recovered from surgery. I’m finally able to ride again and Howard and his crew fixed up my bike to get me riding within 24hrs. This time I also bought a bike rack and they were nice enough to install it for me and show me how to load my bike (woman’s bike with a weird frame).
They are all extremely friendly and helpful.

I recently bought a bike at your Action Bikes. The service I received from Howard & his Staff was truly outstanding. Rather than just try to sell me a bike, he went out of his way to explain various bike options and that would or would not fit the type of riding I would be doing. I visited five or six different bike shops and the staffs there would spend a few moments with me answering my questions, but none of their responses approached the depth information that I got from HOWARD. I also noticed when I visited the store and HOWARD was busy the rest of the staff seemed just as willing to help and answer my questions. So in the end I got a great bike and had a good experience.
Thanks

NOT ONLY did these guys replace and install the left pedal crank on my mountain bike for under $ 23 (while I watched), their staff are the Sherlock Holmes of all things cycling! Can’t recommend this shop highly enough! Some much better than their competition in the big city!

Unbelievable Service — It’s so refreshing to go into a shop and have the staff actually care about their customers. Howard and his team are amazing. The bikes he stocks are mostly mid-​level, but Howard can order any level of bike — He’s helped my wife and I purchase some very high-​end Fuji bikes.
Howard’s prices are fair, his work is amazing and I look forward to visiting the shop any chance I can get!

Howard and his crew are great! Top notch customer attention, great advice, great service and friendly staff! These guys have been in business awhile — i have seen them move 3 times-​going to bigger stores/​space so they are not going to be gone tomorrow. They carry BMX, road, hybrid. MTB, + accs
This is a shop you tell your friends about — that’s how I learned about it — now lets go out and ride!
