Got my son’s bike here. Mike did a great job on explaining all of our options. The price is on the high side but I think everything went up from the pandemic. I will come again when I get a bike this Spring
Went to Planetary Cycles uncertain about what to expect. David greeted me at the door, showed me several different options within my price range, took the time to answer all of my questions, and helped me make an informed decision. Great customer service and pleasant experience overall. Will definitely be back. Couldn’t be happier with my new ride!
Came here this morning knowing what bike I was looking for right off the bat. I was greeted by Alyssa and she walked me through the bike I had picked out. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and had thorough answers to everything I could think of.Alyssa and Adam both made sure the bike was set up properly before I walked out with it and even allowed me to give it a test ride in the parking lot. After the bike was paid for, Alyssa gave a rundown of all the services they offer regarding returns and warranty, and Adam walked me through what to look out for (specifically related to tubeless tires) and how often I should expect to maintain the tires.Im glad I came in, I had a completely painless buying experience from the moment I stepped in until the moment I left.The store itself is big and has all sorts of bike, even antiques which were a pleasure to see. Everything was well laid out and it looked like I could buy literally everything I could ever need for riding. I absolutely recommend checking this place out.
Great experience here! Super fair on my bike trade in, and Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me find exactly what I needed very quickly and price was fair.
David was a great help, answered all questions and gave great advice. Ended up with a score of a bike! Really awesome shop. Happy with my experience.
Matt and his team are awesome. They met and exceeded all expectations in ordering, building and fitting our new Terratrike Rover Tandem!!!
I called them on Wednesday at 3:00 in the afternoon and told them my bike wouldn’t shift and it sounded like it was on its last leg, the gentle man on the phone explained that had a big waiting list but told me to bring it by and he would look at for me which I did. He spent 15 minutes adjusting things and sent me on my way with a bike that rode like a new one! I love this place.
Its not very often that I go out of my way to complain about a business, but the service was terrible at this store, I had to say something...We called in advance. The guy on the phone said they could repair our bikes. When we arrived, my wife stood in the line at the register. I walked to the back where three employees doing various task. There was no line. Several large boxes stacked in front of a half wall. Two signs said Employees Only. No one said a word. One guy walked by me several times on his way to the store area.Meanwhile, my wife waited patiently in a line at the register where several other employees were gathered.. At her turn, the employees retreated to the back. Finally she flagged a guy walking by her from the the back Can you help me? We need our bikes repaired. I watched as he pointed..No. Service is over there.He had curly dark hair.So, my wife comes over to join me in my limbo at the Employees Only alleged, Service Counter. I asked, What was that guy doing that is so important?. She shook her head.Im still waiting for a sign of life here at the Service Counter, where one employee is watching a tire spinning. Very focused! Another is assembling a bike (thats understandable). One guy walked past us to the store area, then back.Then here comes our guy (curly hair) from the Register Department.. He makes the effort to mean mug me as he walks by.. He obviously heard me talking about him to my wife..*Note: This is the first enteraction Ive received from an employee since Ive been here.Curly Hair then goes behind the Service Counter and starts attaching a little yellow flag to a stick on a kids bike..This was his #1 priority.We walked out. Never to return again.We continued down the road to Southwest Bikes. Where they greeted us at the door and helped us unload our bikes. We were out of the store in less than 5 minutes! Completely different experience..This is my go-to store now! Thanks for reading.
I bought a used trike from a friend and took it to Planetary Cycles. Keith installed new brake handles and a new chain. He calibrated the gears and now I feel like I have a new trike. He does expert work and doesn’t charge a lot. I highly recommend Keith at Planetary Cycles for any trike maintenance or repairs
Matt was awesome. Super helpful in finding the right bike for our family activities. Would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a new bike.
Just bought a new bike from here and I love it. Tucker helped me out with it as he has a similar one and I’m so happy with the recommendation and that it’s doing exactly what I wanted it for.This was my second bike from here, and I’ve been happy with both purchases and the service before and after I made them. I recommend this place for your biking needs!
Everyone that works here is super helpful and nice. It took a couple of visits there for me to figure out which bike I wanted and each time they helped me and were patient with my questions. I ended up getting a recumbent bike because of some physical limitations I have and they even helped install the accessories on it and load it into my car.
Regular customer for 4+ years and plan to come here for many years after that. Best bike shop experience Ive had in Houston. Bought new cleats today and David was super accommodating and switched out the cleats on my shoes for me, free of charge.
Nice shop. Looks like they are getting restocked since my last visit, which was last year during the bicycle rush. Someone even greeted me at the door. I came for a 27.5 x 2.00 urban tire. Need it for a group ride. She really looked for it. I would have been surprised if she had it, since its sort of rare. Lots of interesting cycling inventory.
This was my first visit to Planetary Cycles. The store was busy. I needed a derailleur and chain. The problem was not that no one immediately helped me or that I had to wait in line to ask a question. The problem was that I waited in line at the checkout counter to ask where to find the parts that I need, theyre not display, and as soon as I got to the counter, the guy at the register walked off. So I patiently waited at the counter, about 10 minutes or so, as other customers were greeted and helped. Then I called the store, no one answered. Someone else immediately called the store after I did, and an employee came from somewhere to the counter where I was standing and answered the phone. When I asked if Im invisible, she said shed be with me after the phone call. So I called the store again and was told that the part I need is in the service department and that someone would help me. An apology was given for having to wait. The service was courteous and helpful from that point on. It was my first visit, I didnt know the protocol for obtaining parts only. I didnt mind waiting, I just didnt like being treated like Im invisible.
Husband and I came to get him a new gravel bike from BTR. The staff was nice enough when we came in after paying for a deposit to check it out. They had to put the bike together for a test. They became a lot nicer after we decided to purchase the bike. We were a bit disappointed that they don’t offer any discounts on accessories when you purchase a bike but the prices were reasonable.
Loved this place! Went in to get my mongoose bike brakes repaired and they did it in five minutes. I ended up buying a seat and some other items as the equipment and materials are too notch.. I am not going anywhere else ever !!!
Im super happy with this bike shop. Adam is awesome! He helped me get my Ripmo V1 and ever since has help keep it in excellent condition. Btw, I just picked it up after some maintenance work and noticed they have some awesome new bikes in stock. Zack is cool too...thanks for the tips about the forks zack! And thanks to the rest of the staff at Planetary Cycles. Great place.👍
Awesome local bike shop! David was incredibly helpful, and got my bike assembled with the accessories I wanted and needed. Also gave me alot of incredible tips on the bike I was buying. If youre looking for a bike, Id honestly only reccomend coming here.
Ive purchased bikes and had them serviced by Planetary. Adam and the team are knowledgeable and provided excellent service and info. I do miss Danny though.
I come here every time I need a new bike for a family member and every time it’s a success! They are so quick to help with any maintenance.
Had my trike looked at. Replaced shift cable, ordered brake pads, work done in timely fashion.Adam did a great job.
Extremely helpful and they helped me fix my bent chain for free100/10
Bought a bike here last week. They were super helpful, very nice, and made the whole experience enjoyable. From the girl at the front counter to the young man in the shop (I think his name was Robert?) they went out of their way to deliver great customer service. 👍🏻
Keith was excellent. He explained everything very well, was friendly and courteous. I recommend him highly.
It has been a number of years since patronizing Planetary Cycles and they are still the best!I had been looking for mid-range hardtails for me and spouse. I had committed myself to Giant. I ordered and recd.Great service, they took the time and worked with my wife on getting her fitted. Same type of service for me.Just restarting the cycling from doing the MS150s years back.Thank you Planetary. Looking forward to service and other purchases.Robert & Nancy
Our sales person was David and he was extremely helpful. He took his time and knew all about various bicycles as well as the pros and cons of different models.David was also helpful in choosing the most useful- and colorful - accessories. The on the spot assembly of the new bicycle and accessories was a very significant plus and added a great lead to this experience.We will definitely return to planetary cycles for our bicycle purchases and servicing in the future.
Super helpful with repairing and servicing my bike. Also helped repair my friends bike who didn’t buy hers from here (unlike some other stores). Definitely recommend this place to everyone!
Great customer service! David is friendly and knows his bikes! He made us feel comfortable during the entire process and was easy to work with! Thanks David!
Recently had a great buying experience here buying an upgrade to an FS from a hardtail. Adam was great to work with throughout the buying process. All of the folks I interacted with on the sales side were super cool and everything you look for in a local bike shop.
Initially I had some issues with a bike I ordered but Adam worked through them with me and was really helpful. I would definitely shop here again!
I had a great experience with Andrea. She was super attentive and patient. A huge variety of bikes.
Great experience! Great service! Friendly staff
Great service from Keith! This is the place to buy a quality bike.
I spoke with David on the phone whom was very friendly and informative. When I arrived JC helped me. I have a nice road bike that I havent rode in at least 3 years. He took a look and determined that I didnt need a tune-up just new tires, tubes and handle bar adjustment. I was grateful for the honest opinion. JC also helped me select front and rear lights. The reason I havent ridden the bike is because I fell the first time I was on the bike while trying to learn how to click in/out of the pedals. JC took the time to help me become more comfortable in cycling shoes. JC went above and beyond excellent customer service to make it a truly personable and memorable experience and for that I am truly grateful.P.S. While there, Sinead Miller came in. I didnt know who she was but after googling her I realized what an inspiration she is. So if a competitive cyclist/Olympic-hopeful shops there, you know its an excellent bike store.
Very attentive staff! Helped me with what I needed. Will be coming back!
Folks were friendly, wide selection of bikes. Dropped off a fixed gear bike in a box to get assembled, and price seemed reasonable: $100. It took 9 days, which wasnt a problem because theyre swamped with work orders, but the bar tape was ripped and the lock ring barely hand tightened, so it stripped off the second I put my foot on the pedal. For $100 assembly I would expect a little more attention to detail, and will be going back over the assembly at home to make sure nothing else was missed
Everyone was very helpful, even took the time to install my water bottle holder with a store full of customers. Thanks guys!
I came in looking for cycling shoes! I started cycling at Rush Cycle back in August but didn’t want to take the leap to buy shoes yet.David helped find the right pair and ensured that it would be compatible with Rush Cycle bikes and Peloton!I’m a newbie to cycling and David was very helpful, knowledgeable, and nonjudgmental!I ended up buying a pair of Shimanos! I’m definitely coming back!
Both the owner and the person that helped us were incredibly nice and helpful. They were fun to talk to and the prices were great.
Ms.Andrea was a very good help in purchasing a bicycle that fit what I was looking for Thanks keep up the good work.
They knew exactly what I was looking for and were able to help me very quickly. Great service! Very organized and knowledgeable employees!
Extremely helpful staff. Good range of bikes and availability. And the staff were very patient with advice. And right next to the Brays Bayou biking trail. Would definitely recommend.
David was very helpful and patient with my questions. Excellent service!
Andrea from planetary cycles was a major help and very patient when it came to explaining everything for multiple bikes and accessories. Come here for all your biking needs and ask for Andrea.
Like the new bike that I got .Has good brakes, like the look they did a great job thanks
Planetary cycles was incredibly helpful in helping me choose the right bike for me and compare options!
Great experience! Stopped by a few times to ask questions and Andrea and her team were helpful. Recommend to friends and families!

Very helpful and informative, overall positively motivating experience.... If your looking to get into bike riding this is your place
I just purchased a eco tad trike and it was a great experience, Andrea was my sales girl and she was a delight to work with. They and what I needed and what I wanted in stock. I would recommend coming here for your bike needs. Ill be back for more information on the bike after I put some miles on it... Andrea job well don!!

Great customer service. Matt goes above and beyond!
Elissa helped me and my husband pick out our bikes and we love them! She was very helpful answering my questions and helping me pick out the right bikes
Repaired my bike like new!! Super helpful staff
David was a great help when I came to pick up my new bike. He set up the trainer in the store to test out before taking it home. Great service!
I bought a floor pump and some dry lube. They were very helpful in gyiding to the best option. Very honest in which one is better no matter what.
Service was excellent. I found what I was looking for, but with they had a larger selection of smaller men’s bikes.
Great people, excellent customer service!
Quick and efficient service. Marco was of great help. Thank you!!!
Great experience buying my new MTN Bike. many other shops had no size large bikes in stock. these guys had one that i wanted. thanks!
This place is great. I brought my kids bike here because she had a hard time with the pedals. Its a small, cheap bike she inherited from a friend. They fixed the problem for free and really fast. The people is friendly and the place is very nice. Ill consider buying the next bike here for my other kid.
Just got my HP Velotechnik Gekko back after they installed a new power assist on the trike. It works great, I have to complement there staff, especially Matt for figuring it out after initial issues with the unit. I look forward in riding it with the new power assist. I’m not getting any younger as I turn 70 this year and should extend my enjoyment in riding for years to come.
Great local bike shop. Friendly staff that was extremely helpful, not to mention the quick and knowledgeable service department. This has become my go to bike shop and highly recommend for others to check out.
Wonderful experience here at Planetary Cycles. Worked with David who helped me find the perfect pair of shoes and pedals. Would definitely suggest.
Amazing team and excellent service! Charlie, David and Adam have all been attentive and super helpful.
Good place and welcoming environment. Went there to get a bike, a gentleman from the service department helped me clear my queries. All ready to ride!
First class! Adam showed me a variety of bikes and I settled on a Scott Spark Mountain bike. Love the bike, but was also very impressed by Adams helpfulness, expertise and no pressure sales. Highly recommend Planetary Cycles. Super effort that! Marvelous effort indeed.
Just bought my brand new bike. Matt and David were very helpful with the process. They also provided me with other other helpful tips being that I am new to road cycling. So excited!
Our go-to bike store. They always do us right
Fastest sale Ive ever experienced. Great options even during these trying times.Great customer service. Thanks Elissa!!!
Fast and easy. The staff is knowledgeable and understanding. Purchase time was quick and build time on a new purchase was efficient.
Bought a new road bike here. Great service and support. Happy to have this shop in the neighborhood!
Nice, clean shop with super friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.
Came in to their shop to get an old bike fixed, for the same price they sold me on a new bike I love and even let me ride it after the store closed to try out the bike while I happened to be there. I really like the service and my bike purchase feels like a great deal with their included service warranties
Ordered bikes a few months back. Received several calls to let us know when Ike’s were in. Quick easy set up. Bike mechanics were excellent and explained how bikes worked and sent us happily on our way.
