Cycle Dynamics Bicycle Shop

Excellent customer service. Joey is knowledgeable and affordable. On my first visit he repaired the rim on my son’s bike very quickly. On my second visit Joey adjusted and improved my road bike to «fit» me better. He most recently fixed the suspension on my mountain bike. There is nothing he can’t fix on a bike, and he does it with a smile.

Brought my bike in on a Wednesday for new shifters, new chain and their «full service tune-​up». They were supposed to have it ready by the weekend. Apparently, their supplier sent them the wrong shifter and the delivery date to me was extended to about 2 ½ weeks. I received no phone call explaining this and only found out by calling them. In their defense, they did offer a loaner bike for me to use over Memorial Day week. When I finally got my bike back and took it out on the first ride it did not shift properly because the cables weren’t adjusted correctly. I dialed it in myself and it works fine now but noticed it was missing the plastic guard for the front sprocket. Again, in their defense, they offered to give me a store credit but frankly, I’d rather spend my money somewhere else. I came to Cycle Dynamics after reading all the good reviews and because I live close to the shop. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

Just wanna say that I just took my Cervelo P2 to Joey at Cycle dynamics because my regular bike guy closed down. I told him that I needed a new bike shop that partnered with me to do great work, at a great price WITHOUT the typical bike shop «attitude». Joey delivered. I have my new «bike guy»… Highly recommend!..

I heart this place. Staff are knowledgeable and patient. I’ll be back — especially because it’s a thriving local business. #shoplocal

If you are looking to have work done on your bike, or are looking to have a bike rack installed on your vehicle, Joey and Cycle Dynamics is the place to go. First he took my two bikes which had been in storage for two years and tuned them up, detailed them, and safety checked them. They are now both like brand new! I had planned to have U-​Haul install a tow hitch on my SUV so that I could use the tow hitch bike rack. It would have cost me about $ 460.00 or so to install. Joey told me that his shop could order and install the tow hitch for much cheaper. He ordered the hitch for my BMW and installed it in one day, and it turned out perfect.
Cycle D is a small shop but they do great work and make you feel like a friend is working on your bike needs. Very personable, plus they play great music in the shop! I definitely recommend this shop for any of your bike needs!

Looking for a sun cruiser, their website directed me to Cycle D. Got to the store right at closing time on Saturday. Joey took his time and helped me pick out a bike and we special ordered. When I went to pick up the bike, I found something I liked a little more. No problem even though we special ordered my bike. I will definitely go back to Cycle D again. Great locally owned shop.

I had a mixed experience at this place.
Pros:
1. The job seems to be well done. However, it is just a bike. How complicated can it be.
Cons:
1. Very slow: They took 9 days for a basic bike tuneup.
2. Non responsive: I left my bike at their shop on a Saturday. Was told to expect a callback on Wednesday. No call on Wednesday. Called on Thursday. Was told bike would be ready Friday, end of day. No call on Friday. Called Saturday. Told bike was almost tuned up. No end date given. Called on Sunday. Told the bike was done. It would be nice if they can give and stick to a firm date without all the runaround.
3. Pricey: $ 80 for a basic tuneup. Seems pricey to me. Lot of places around town, with comparable Unilocal reviews, are more affordable.
Word of advice for fellow Unilocalers:
This business has outstanding groupons for their tuneup service, ranging from $ 49-​$ 64. Purchase and PRESENT that BEFORE paying the advance. They have a weird policy of asking for a deposit when you drop off your bike. If you pay the deposit and not the groupon, they WILL NOT HONOR the groupon later. So be careful. I made that mistake and paid the price (literally) for it. :)
In summary, I would rather go to a different shop for tuneup, namely due to their long turnaround time, non-​responsiveness, and relatively high-​cost (without a groupon).

I went back in late October to buy my four year old his birthday present. A new bike of his own! (No hand me down here!) Once again Joe was there to help me find the right one. We selected a great bike with training wheels, a «shark helmet» with teeth and new bell. He gave us a great price and once again offered to deliver it to our house so we could surprise my son.
Actually what happened is that Joe’s dad was there and stepped in and took the bike in his pick-​up and followed us to our home. While my son was strapped in his car seat he helped me place it in a location where he wouldn’t see it so that I could hide it, so that he could find it on his own later. It worked out perfect. He had no idea as he was just thrilled that I took him to the bike shop so that he could ride the bikes. When he saw the bike he just raised his hands over his head and screamed «yay!» and said, «…look dad at this bicycle… is it mine?» I said that it was and he shouted again, «yay!».
You can get a bike anywhere, you can negotiate a price to your liking anywhere, but the customer service at Cycle Dynamics is unbeatable. Thank you Joey!

I’ve been here twice so far and have been very impressed with their customer service. As a bike newbie, I know a little bit of what I need, but when they recommend something different it makes sense for the long run. I came in her to replace a spoke on my tire but ended up buying new wheels because he pointed out that mine were of inferior quality and the others were bound to break something I did not anticipate so as they say rather spend a little now but have the longevity later. And the Unilocal deal save me 30 bucks which is nice very well stocked store lot of clearance items, definitely my bike store for my needs.

I don’t know what’s all the hype but I didn’t get any help when I came here, so I went to Open Air bicycle instead… maybe this shop just like to choose their customer based on their feel if they can sell bikes, when all I wanted was a tube and number plates.

I had hit 3 other bike shops from the west end of Ventura all the way until here. Step in: looks like any other local bike shop: variety of brands; bits and pieces needed on the way; mechanic stand in the back. You might say, dime a dozen.
Yup. Trek has a larger selection things. Yup, others are closer to downtown Ventura. Yup, no smoking price tag deals laid out. Yup, not full of lance-wannabe’s ready for the next tour-​de-​lyrca.
Yup.
So why is this place a stand out to me? Me, somewhat of a LBS snob?
Down to earth advice, real questions about what you need, versus want. A disinterest in taking money to make money. A dedication to riders versus bike owners. It’s a riders shop. Your bike, may be old, may be shiny new, maybe a tank of old steel, or model year 3000 carbonfibre. But, you ride because it’s a part of you, and this bike shop wants you to ride.

The shop is honest & helpful. I am pretty much a newbie to cycling & have been treated right. I recently watched the owner Joey fix a flat & install a vehicle rear mount bike rack for someone dropping in after business hours. They are customer oriented & family run.
My son went in for a repair last week & they fixed it while he waited.
Excellent shop.

Excellent shop. Joey is a pleasure to work. The staff is quite helpful and accommodating whenever my wife or I stop in for whatever reason.

So far so good. Let’s see how it all goes — - they are servicing my bike now

I have had a wonderful experience at Cycle Dynamics. I came in with little knowledge about the bike I was looking for and Joey helped me in a knowledgeable, friendly, and low-​key approach. I have continued to do all my bicycle business here and Joey has continued to educate me about the bike, routes, etc., and has inspired me to enjoy cycling like I never thought I would.
Cycle Dynamics is a classic, neighborhood small business that deserves the support of the local community.

This is an amazing bike store that will meet any and all of your needs. Joey very generously donated a Redline Expert to the grand opening of the new Ventura BMX track. His support for the community and sport is so much appreciated. Their service dept. was spot on! We will recommend this establishment to anyone involved in the sport of BMX.

When you go to Cycle Dynamics you get friendly, personalized service. They are a family business and are willing to help out anyone with cycling needs. No bike snobs here!
Patronize this local business before going to the big retail bicycle outlets!

Super friendly and helpful. Bought a bike for my son in June and went back last week to get one for my daughter. Prices are great and they help you get just what you want.

The person who helped me was super nice. Fixed what i came in for and another problem with my bike that i didnt even know was fixable. I was prepared to pay way more then what i was charged so that was amazing! I will definitely be back for all my bicycle needs!

Joey runs this place so that his customers get all the service that they pay for. If there’s a few people waiting, most of the regulars will just go sit on the sofa and have a cup of coffee while the folks in more of a hurry get what they need. This is becoming my cycling home away from home. Good prices, great service.

So helpful and patient. We are a family just starting to bike together and felt comfortable asking questions.

I had an amazing experience at this cycle shop. I went in to get my bike looked at and the service was wonderful, helpful, and friendly. I have taken other bikes there before and the service is always speedy and the prices are great. They have everything I need to my bike road ready! I felt safe to ride my bike after leaving. I love that they are a small business, which is a huge plus for me!
You will not be disappointed with the quality of service!
