The best bike store in town! Great service and very reasonable prices! I love it! They installed a basket and a rear rack to my bike, made it better looking and more functional!

Miranda was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable. It was a tough decision to buy a new bike but she made it a lot easier. Im still buzzing! I absolutely love my new bike c: thank you!

I bought a mountain bike but it was shipped to the store with the wrong fork. This shop handled the situation with professionalism and kept me in the loop with what was going on. They had to find another fork since the bike company was unable to fix the solution in a timely manner, going above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend, they treat their customers great (including newer ones like me). I love the bike after having it for a few months now.

The saddle library is epic. Staff are friendly and helpful too!

Friendly and expert service for all types of bikes. Their saddle library is a great way to find the perfect saddle for you.

Very nice!I asked for any tips on bike scratches and they gave me useful advice

Awesome customer service, super nice people. Dropped a bike off for service, and they got it done sooner and cheaper than expected, with great communication and kindness. Thanks Jim and Cassandra!

Very helpful crew with a wealth of knowledge. So thankful they are here in the city. Love them so much.

I needed a new saddle so I tried out their Saddle Library program. I got helpful advice and quick assistance, and now I am happy and comfy on my new saddle. Thank you Gladys Bikes!

Gladys Bikes has the most approachable, knowledgable and hard-working staff. The Saddle Library will LITERALLY save your ass. The bike selection is great for folx on the smaller size, but the staff is always willing to order in for you. Talk to them about your custom bike projects (!!) and schedule your bike fit. If you are unsure of where to start, stop in and say hello! There seems to be no shortage of snacks in this place. Everyone is welcome, wanted and needed here. Proud to be a customer here.

Gladys Bikes is an incredible shop in every way. The saddle library allows to you to test ride as many saddles as you need until you find your perfect match. The staff are all super kind & friendly. The bike fitting I got on the Surly I purchased there allowed me to kick an old cycling injury. Super grateful for Gladys Bikes!

I should have visited Natalie for a bike fitting sooner. This changes how I feel about my bike and everything about the fit. Absolutely worth $200 I paid for the parts and labor. If youre a woman and just bought a new bike or arent sure why your long rides are hurting, go see her. Now.

Very friendly and accommodating to new bicyclists

Gladys Bikes is pretty much the bees knees. I moved a bit further East and Cat Six is my current home bike shop (and it is also highly recommended), but Gladys Bikes always holds a special place in my heart. Do you want knowledgeable staff who are friendly and welcoming to all people? Go to Gladys. You wont regret it.

I used the Saddle Library to decide what saddle I would like to purchase. this is a wonderful service, as finding a comfortable saddle can be very difficult, and over my many years of riding, Ive found it quite a challenge. When I found my dream saddle, sadly, it was a product of Italy, and backordered for 2 months. I was waiting about 3 weeks, when Cassandra reached out to me letting me know that the saddle I wanted was on sale and available at another bike shop in town and that Gladyss price minus the Saddle Library fee I had paid was the same as the sale price at the other shop. So I bought it at the other shop so I could have it the next day and not wait another 2 months. Cassandra didnt have to tell me about the other opportunity, as it cost Gladys business, but she did, knowing how long I would have to be tortured by my current bike saddle!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will return to Gladys for their excellent customer service and caring about their customers. They are my kind of bike shop! This review comes up as written by my husband, but it is written by me, Kari Freeman.

I had a wonderful experience today at Gladys Bikes, as I scheduled a bike fitting (new road bike, doing Cycle Oregon for 1st time). I met Natalie at the store, and she was so extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We spent 2+ hours working the nuances of a bike fitting, and Natalie did an awesome job explaining everything, as well as making a few changes that will help my fit and feel of my new bike. She teams with Mollie, who I met and also seems extremely knowledgeable for her clients. The entire team was very gracious, I cant recommend them enough for a bike or bike fitting. Truly great service today!

Just had a bike fitting with Mollie - I was totally blown away. The accuracy and insightfulness of their suggestions for adjustments were instantly noticeable. Riding home, my bike felt exactly like Ive wanted it to feel for months (years?) but have never known how to dial in myself. I dont know how to describe it other than my bike just felt more natural while riding than it ever has. Also, very friendly vibes from all staff. Nice to know I can return for free adjustments if needed for half a year.Also should note: I have a fairly basic commuter style bike. I was pretty nervous about the fitting, thinking my bike wasnt professional enough to deserve it, but everyone was completely unpretentious and made me feel welcome and happy with my bike.

My niece and I walked in during the busy bike shop summertime, and Mollie dropped everything she was doing and spent as much time as my niece needed to find a saddle that would work for her. Theyre a shop that stands out in a town with a lot of competition. I wont hesitate to come back again!

Fantastic local bike shop! They want to get you on a bike and loving it. Their products are especially selected for their quality. They work hard in making you happy on your bike so that you can put on the miles. Other bike shops in Portland feel like a QBP big box shop where as they really talk to you about your riding style and what work and doesnt work. They truly specialize in Saddles. I participated in a saddle speed date recently and Leah (who might always be working!) helped w to find the right saddle. I love chugging thoughtless miles and Ive biked a few centuries and a few tours (Pacific Coast Highway, C&O trail...) so Im not new to biking or bike shops. Nonetheless I was blown away by how phenomenal she was on talking me through seat mechanics that you could tell that she had tons of experience. She nailed the saddle on the other person participating on the first go. I love the passion they have for biking! I would happily recommend to any one looking for the right fit in a bike.

I love this shop! I came in looking for a bike that would keep me sitting upright so I can comfortably ride throughout my pregnancy this time around. Even on a busy day I had great help. I later came back to find a more comfortable saddle. Leah knows the pregnancy set up, my new saddle is great! It even got me out to Carver from Downtown in comfort. I cant thank Leah and her team enough.

I just picked up my bike from getting a full tune up at Gladys Bikes and I am so happy with the results. It was reasonable, quick (I got my bike back on the same day), and my bike rides as good as new. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and very clear up-front about what work they were going to do/what the charges were going to be.

Truly the best. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff. Never shopping anywhere else!

Thanks for being the best at everything, Gladys Bikes! For helping me choose the BEST bike for my needs... For providing the BEST routine adjustments on my Gladys bike at no additional charge... And for a staff that is truly the BEST at answering questions and illustrating basic techniques for bike maintenance.You are, in fact, the BEST!!!Thanks Gladys Bikes!

This shop rocks! Their repair/tune services are reasonably priced and they go out of the way to make folks happy. Super friendly staff, pleasure to work with! Support your local bike shops!

I took a friend who hadnt ridden for a while and who is recovering from a C-section, and they could not have been more helpful. From showing her the gears on the bike trainer through to loaning me a bike so I could ride the streets next to her while she tested different models, this is superb customer service of a kind rarely seen. Thank you Gladys Bikes for making riding fun for my friend.

First discovered this shop when I was looking for a new saddle. Didn’t expect to fall head over heels in the process...The saddle library is genius, the mechanics are honest, fair and knowledgeable and the energy is 100 percent awesome. While I may now live 30 min away, Gladys is my go to shop for anything from a T-shirt purchase to tune up to bike fitting and even some drooling over the pretty bikes laid out in store! Can’t stop, won’t stop.

I love this bike store! The staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The bikes they sell are very high quality as befits a boutique shop. Dont come here looking for a steep discount but for a fair price.

Fantastic neighborhood bike shop! Staff is super friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable. I’ve had my bike tuned up and fully serviced there and they always have the random part or tool I need.

My bike got stolen and I was lucky enough to recover it, but it was pretty worse for wear after its adventure. The folks at Gladys got it running better than before (seriously, they might be magic). The environment is friendly and non-judgemental, and their service was efficient, yet high quality. Ill be back!

Best shop in Portland! They have a welcoming staff that know there stuff. I have them work on my bike all the time and I buy gear here as well since they have all the things I need from local and ethical companies.

Excellent bike shop with laid back, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable staff who are a blast to interact with even if you are an inexperienced cyclist. I learned so much in my brief conversation with Leah about ideas for improving my bike ergonomics. Im not a cycle enthusiast, but leaving Gladys Bikes, I wish I was so Id have reason to come back sooner. As a major bonus, it feels good supporting such a socially conscious business. Gladys Bikes definitely has my vote for my neighborhood bike shop.

The folk at Gladys Bike are some of the finest people Ive ever had the privilege of meeting. They care equally about you, as a rider, as they do your bike (and bikes in general). This is the sort of shop you want to keep coming back to, even when you dont have any particular bike issue. In short, at Gladys Bikes, you come for the brilliant services and specialization in bike fitting, but you stay for the amazing people. And the snacks. Youll also come back for snacks.

Leah and the gladys bike team are amazing, supportive and just generally wonderful people. They helped me make my bike ready to ride 3000 miles across north America. They didnt pressure me into gear I didnt need but made sure I had everything I did need. Couldnt ask for a better shop.

Thank you for the servicing on my bike!

I’ve gone to Gladys ever since I moved to Portland a few years ago for all my bicycle needs. The saddle library, which allows you to check out a saddle to try for a week before you purchase it, has saved my labia a lot of time and pain!! Plus their mechanics are extremely helpful and everyone there is fun, friendly, and welcoming to all.

I love Gladys bikes so much. I got my Liv bike from them two years ago, and it has become my trusted companion - Gladys is the perfect bike store. Friendly, helpful, awesome.

I have never felt more comfortable in a bike shop, or on a bike itself, than at Gladys and in the company of Leah and her team. I was sure I was going to die the second I got on a bike, but Leah took her time to make sure I felt completely safe and had all the appropriate equipment. Meanwhile, I felt totally supported by everyone else in the shop too. Excellent spot for feeling totally included, no matter your level. And gender inclusive? Huge plus. Also, its just so damn cute. I want all the donut and pizza stuff and satin jackets.

What a positive experience from start to finish! Was looking for a Mt Bike for my Wife. Tried a few of the bikes shops on my side of the river in Vancouver, but none of the small Mens bike frames were a great fit for my Wife (Shes 5 6 tall, 135lbs).Gladys bike shop carrys women-specific high quality bikes. After a few friendly test rides, my Wife bought her forever bike, a full suspension 27.5 Liv Intrigue Advanced 2.I had my Wife and 10yr old Son with me. The ladies in the shop were friendly, extremely professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. Ive been riding for decades, but never took the time to learn all the bike lingo & terminology. They never made me feel stupid for asking silly questions that I should already know, they answered all of my questions in stride with a smile and explained everything in detail.Great vibe, very fair prices, 5 stars all day!

I have been to a number of bike shops in Portland, and Gladys is truly in a league of its own. Regardless of who you are, or how much you know about bikes, its hard to walk out of this shop without a smile on your face. Whether youre looking for a high-quality tune-up or a cycling cap with doughnuts on it, this is the place to be. Cant forget the saddle library either. Who says bikes are supposed to make your butt hurt?

I received a $50 basic comfort fit with Stephanie, and it was one of the best bike shop experiences Ive ever had. Stephanie was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate about fitting my needs as a commuting/touring bike rider. She went above and beyond my expectations! I was also very grateful that they include evening time slots for bike fit consultations, which worked well with my traditional work schedule.This bike fit is excellent for anyone who is an avid commuter or touring biker and needs a second opinion on their setup or some feedback on fitting styles. Id more strongly recommend the next-step-up bike fit ($120) for individuals who are completely in-the-dark and dont know where to start. Never did I feel intimidated, overly-solicited, or belittled, which are regular anxieties for me going into new bike shops. Stephanie (and other Gladys fitters, Im sure) is exceptionally approachable and amicable, helping make this experience a truly positive one.I will make sure to revisit Gladys on a regular occasion and support this fantastic local business!

What a great shop! Its true that this is advertised as a women-centric bike shop, and they mostly focus on selling bikes that fit women. But its incredibly inclusive and they do excellent repair work for any bike you bring in and have a great selection of parts, especially for a shop of this size.

This is my go to shop, and I live across town in SE. Staff is the friendliest in the city, and they take the time to listen and learn what you need. The vibe in the shop is 100% positive, and if they don’t have what you need they order and have it within a couple of days. This is the shop to which all others are compared.

I had a bike fitting through Gladys Bikes. Natalie and Susan were professional: they didnt make me feel embarrassed that I have been riding around Portland for 18 years on the wrong bike set up; or that I dont stretch enough. They explained why my bike needed to be changed and guaranteed that if I didnt like it they would work with me to make it right. They also gave me a choice of changing everything at once (which can be an financial investment) or making a priority of what I could afford. I choose not to change my handlebars at that time. I have been riding around and now completely am sold on getting new handlebars because of the alignment of my hands.I also appreciate Leah, the wonderful owner. She is helpful and makes you feel comfortable in her shop. You can ask her any question without feeling shy about not knowing the right terms to use. I love that there is a woman-specific bike shop in town.

This is an amazing shop run by amazing people. The saddle library is genius. It is a community hot spot for everyone, a wonderful safe space.

Excellent business! We bought our first ‘street’ bike here, upon moving to Portland & have since returned for various merch & classes. Leah & her staff know their stuff, are never pushy & are truly passionate about what they do.

I am really happy with my Liv bike that I purchased from Gladys. I am a petite lady, 5 feet tall, and I have had a lot of trouble in the past finding a bike that fits. They helped me find the perfect one!

I took my bike in Saturday morning for a tuneup, the bike was ready to go Sunday morning. When I picked it up the bike looked like new and rode like a dream! I have taken my bikes to many shops in Portland for repair over the 20 years Ive been commuting. The repair work done at Gladys Bikes has been the best yet! Thanks!

The customer service at Gladys Bikes is on a whole other level -- theres no hard-sell, pushy sales pitches or exclusionist spandex-bro culture here -- just a genuine interest in figuring out what will best suit your needs. If you check out Gladys Bikes, you can expect fair, honest repair work, quality products and a warm, welcoming attitude towards cyclists (and aspiring cyclists) of all stripes.

Amazing! Great service, friendly environment.Gladys Bikes built a semi-custom bike from me. They took all of my questions and concerns seriously, and never made me feel silly for not knowing the right terminology or components. They worked hard to create something I would love, based on my personality and preferences.Ive been through the shop several times since, and they always take the time to look at my bike and ask questions. Most importantly, they make me feel as though they are happy to see me.

Went and got a professional fit and a tune-up at Gladys last week. It feels like I am riding a whole new bike! The fitting process was not only enjoyable, in depth and informative, but I also already notice a difference when riding. Plus I feel good knowing if something doesnt feel quite right I can pop by and they will work with me to figure it out.

I’ve shopped Gladys, done Saddle Speed Dating (trying a bunch of saddles to find your fit) at Gladys, and participated in a bike touring workshop by Gladys. In the process I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and made new bike buds. Gladys has expert service, unicorn-level enthusiasm, and a very warm welcome to cyclists of all levels, genders, and butt shapes. Get a sweet bike, check out the Saddle Library, and connect with other bike folks! Gladys is an awesome resource for Portlanders and visitors who’ll want a Gladys in their hometown.

As a newbie biker, the staff at Gladys is totally approachable and explained everything to me without making me feel dumb. They are adept at finding the best fit and best bike no matter your riding style. They work with commuters, mountain bikers, road riders, everyone.

Gladys Bikes is one of my favorite bike shops in Portland. They provide a welcoming space for everyone, have a great selection of bikes and top notch mechanics.

A very welcoming shop with super kind employees. They were very communicative about the estimated timeframe for the repairs and tuneup needed for my bike.

Ive never enjoyed going to a bike shop because I always leave feeling dumb and like Im just another sucker who paid too much for something. Well that all changed when I went to Gladys. First, the staff there took their time with me to make sure I understood the work to be done on my bike and that I was okay with what was to be done. Second, when it came time to buy a new bike, once again I felt like the only customer in the world, from the fit to the after purchase new bike picture. I recommend this shop to everyone exclusively. Im always bummed if I have to run to another shop because it just means I wont see familiar, smiling faces. Gladys bikes will always have my heart and business.

This shop is doing it right, creating a space where anyone can feel safe asking questions and getting the information they need to make an informed choice about what they need to make bicycling better for them. Thanks to the crew for reasonable rates and a very comfortable showroom!

Nice, very helpful. Taught us some good features for kids bikes. Repair services, clean and nice selection.

Great small bike shop with bike-fitting expertise and great customer service. My wife got a new saddle for our tandem here through there saddle-lending library. What a great program!

My favorite bike shop! Friendly staff and a curated selection of fine bikes and accessories. Love the saddle library!

Fantastic bike shop with super friendly and very knowledgeable employees. Im very lucky to have this as my local shop!

Love this shop. Employees are friendly and knowledgeable. Great to have in our community!

Thanks to the fitting services at Gladys Bikes, I can ride my bike further, faster and less painfully than I could before. Natalie bravely made adjustments on my unusual bike. I really appreciated the inviting, welcoming atmosphere which embraced both of my X chromosomes.

Good for bicycles, gear, and service. Especially focused on women and seats, in a good way. A very handy and unique neighborhood bike shop!

Friendly and very knowledgeable.Her saddle library is the only way to find the comfortable seat for your bike.

Excellent shop dedicated to servicing the community with a great selection and great prices. It is a safe and welcoming environment for all and I love doing business with Gladys Bikes

They were patient with me and helped me to find a seat for my bike. Excellent service. We needed a woman’s bike shop!

I am looking forward to coming in tomorrow to test/ buy a saddle. I had to look elsewhere though to find your hours. Might be good to have on your site.

Checked them today for a quick fix and that’s exactly what it was. Super cool vibe and friendly people.

Love everything about this store, including how thoughtful the ownership is about the larger community impact they can have.

This award winning bike shop is one of Portlands very best! Love what they do and how they do it!

Hands down one of the greatest bike shops in Portland, and (no exaggeration) possibly the world.

I have been a customer since Gladys opened and appreciate the commitment to customers and community.

Super thoughtful staff, a great place to get your bike fixed for a fair price, and women-owned!

Wonderful Shop, Great Staff, and Excellent Atmosphere!Leah was a charm to talk to, and very knowledgable. I didnt feel the slightest bit intimidated or put off by being a male in a Female Focused bike shop, in fact, I send all my female friends there, and so far they have loved it too!Edit* Yay! They got Unisex Medium shirts back in stock! Now I can sport their nifty tees!Thanks Gladys!

Great selection of bike gear for us non-racer types. Service is excellent. Prices are competitive.

Loved the staff and the selection of accessories, the rechargeable accelerometer brake lights are clutch and affordable!

What an amazing, professional, warm, and friendly shop. Check out their saddle library!

I had the pleasure of buying a Gladys Pizza Cap made by Double Darn before they all sold out and it is my pride and joy. Many compliments. Also, I refer a lot of people to the shop that desire personalized saddle reccomendations or women specific products. Everyone, however, is truly welcomed and served respectfully at Gladys and thats a huge deal! Mainstream bike shops just arent yet at this level of friendly, relatable and non-judgemental service that one can expect at this shop. If youve ever felt intimidated by a sales person or mechanic at other shops, please give Gladys a try and trust that your experience will be everything you desire and then some.

A great little shop with friendly, very knowledgeable staff!

These guys helped me past the intimidation factor of intermediate bike projects, now I feel ontop of taking care of my ride for the first time! They have an approachable friendly demeanor, and their passion is infectious!

Best, friendliest, most inviting, most creative, most fun bike shop ever - hands down!! Wont take my bike anywhere else.

Nice and helpful sales people.

They no longer have the products I need I willl have to go else where

Went in to buy a new hydrosack they told me they no longer carry my brand. Shopping elsewhere.

Super friendly and helpful!!!

They never seem to have what I want and their prices are way to high.

The spot for bikes for ladies

Good place to buy very friendly super amazing I am very happy.
