The owner and the manager are awesome. Helpful and honest. Whenever i go there ill sure get a good conversation and smile to those gentleman. Very knowlegeable bout bikes and they will try help you the best possible it can be. 👌👌👌👌👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been coming to fast bikes since I was a kid bought my first bmx at fast bikes! everyones there is incredibly awesome, been the same family owned shop for decades. they’re services are awesome, they’re bikes are always keeping up with the times and trends they’ll treat you like family.
Great store… friendly owner.. we’re able to get my bike ready in 1/2 hour out of the box.
Great help and they pretty much had all I needed to repair my trike. Supporting our local bikeshop.
They are cheap bike shop, They dont know how to fix the bike. I tried two times and it was still the same problem. and owner was really rude and he said, we can fix that much only and you have to pay full price. Looks like they even dont know how to fix the bike.Now this owner is stating that i didnt paid my bill. I came there to fix some wheel balance issue. It was told it will be fixed.at the end both wheel were still not balanced. I came for some problem and at the end the problem is the same( i will say 10% better). The problem didnt fixed, what should I pay for.Once i asked the owner why should i pay for. Instead of explaining he started abusing and stating you have cheap bike get out from my shop blah blah ...........and keep abusing. I dont like to write what all he said. If i write everything, i think no one will go there. I dont think these kind of business should exist, who promise and not deliver and then abuse the customer by just asking questions.
Touts to have many accessories available online, but has nearly nothing in stock. We were looking for either a basket or a set of panniers and they didnt have anything in stock. They stock a grand total of 2 types of cable locks, both the same brand.Service is below average; I said I was dealing with some saddle soreness I was looking to remedy and (aside from only carrying Specialised saddles), didnt receive any assistance in finding the right saddle for my build.Thoroughly disappointed with my visit here.
Good selection of bikes to purchase, good price for bike repairs. Would recommend.
Great expirence. The staff are well aware at what theyre selling. Very informative.
My nephew has a bmx elite.he strip the shaft and pedal well doing tricks. Fast bicycle 🚲 service are all aces. Thanks Ricardo
I was in the market for a beginner entry Mountain bike and I was set on the Giant Talon 2. I searched around and no local shops had my size and color preference in stock. Finally after searching non stop for days i landed one at Fast Bicycle in San Jose. I called them right away and spoke to Tom, he said he had just received the bike a day ago and that it was still in the box. The bike shop was an hour drive from me so i told him I wanted the bike for sure and that I will go the following day to purchase it. I asked him if I can put a deposit so he could hold it for me, he said there was no need for that. He would hold it for me until the next day and I had priority if anyone else tried to purchase the bike. Im new to mountain biking, as a matter of fact this is my very first bike that i bought brand new so when I went in to the shop I asked a lot of questions and he answered them all without being annoyed or anything, he gave me pretty good information. Once I purchased the bike I asked if he had a kick stand in stoc, he said he had kick stand for the bike but that he recommended me not getting one if I was going to use the bike for trails. He said the kick stand could get stuck on a jump or something and cause it to kick out and possibly injure me. Its good to know that hes not just trying to sell everything he can to its costumers to make more profit. Overall I had a really good experience buying my firts bike. Thank you Fast Bicycle
Ive been taking my bikes here all during Covid, Mike is great with customer service and the guys are great putting things together and tuning up my bikes. I wholeheartedly recommend.
This place is great! The owner and staff were very helpful. The owner was very knowledgeable and patiently answered questions. My father and I ended up purchasing 2 new bikes. We couldnt be more pleased. Thanks Fast Bicycle!!
I went there to fix my bike it was very nice customer service. They fixed my bike quick and was affordable.
Supposedly won a raffle for a bike I wanted. Went to go pick up...Website says they open at 10am, but they actually didnt open until 11am. Guy said they havent updated their website in months and they let yelp take care of business hour updates...Then the bike they had for me wasnt even ready. After waiting outside for almost an hour, they guy said I needed to wait another 30 mins to finish assembling the bike. On top of that, it was a totally different bike. They are a joke.Edited after response: There was no miscommunication. My sister was certain that the bike she won a raffle for is the olive Sunday C-High color. She has been looking for that color for quite some time so there was no confusion there. Whoever called her to let her know she won the raffle told her they have the olive colorway in stock for her and to come pick it up.10-15 mins assembly time, it doesnt matter. I waited outside because your website said your hours of operation is 10-7. Plus, there were identical bikes sitting on the floor already assembled (2-3). Why do I have to wait for another one to be assembled. My day started out great until I visited your shop.
Great service with excellent history background. I take all my bikes for service here and recommend my friends and family to this store.
Great service if you have a bike in need of work call them forsure.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and solid service. A much needed bike shop in the SJ area.
Been going here for 10+ years in/out with my bike needs and problems.What sets them apart from most bike shops?•They are super kid friendly and remain professional to children and parents.• They are very informative, even if your clearly not going to make a purchase, they will recommend you different areas and resources if they cannot fit your needs.•Always polite, Never rushed and straight to the point.• Fairly cheap compared to most local bike shops throughout SF/SJ/ Bay Area.Highly recommend for your next bike need(s).
Great, honest service. I recommend them.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place and would give 100 stars if possible, Tom has always greeted us with a smile and compassion to our needs and is a expert in what he does, customers always come first and it shows, its people like this that make a company so great ! i would recommend going here for all your bicycle needs ! Thanks Tom:)
I live in the north bay and have only needed a shop in the south bay twice. First time was on my way to do a road ride Id been wanting to do for a long time: Nacimiamento Fergusson Road. Id switched pedals on my bike and had the wrong cleats. I called a regionally big retailer who was absolutely not helpful. I called the folks at FB and they understood that I needed a onetime affordable solution. Dropped in bought the pedals and installed them for me, 5-minutes total. Time #2: Found a frame and wheel set I wanted (on CL), setting up a gravel bike for my son. The owner Tom said hed be happy to box it and ship it up to me. Gave me a quote on the phone and seller dropped it off. I offered a bit more than he quoted, just because and he would not let me tip him. Stand up owner and very helpful folks. Old-school shop and I recommend them to anyone.
Awesome, honest, reliable...I can go on and on about my positive experience about this place, but youll have to go there and experience it for yourself. I highly recommend this place for bicycle related issues.
Best bike shop everIf you shop another your going to #2 3 4. 😬
Our family has used fast bikes you years for spare tubes and various bike repairs, this time our bikes needed a full tune up but since they were 35 years old . Tofan the ownerexplained the new bike technology and showed us new affordable bikes which would be more comfortable for us, fitting our needs without any pressure, no rush, he even let us try the bikes before purchasing. I felt relaxed and trusted his advise but left did a little research on the internet returned and purchased the bikes he had advised!!!! We both are happy and we highly recommend fast bikes. ( very Covid safe)
Went in for a new tire and some brake pads for my drift trike but guy gave me hella attitude and said if its not a bike youre at the wrong place last time I come here or tell any of my friends or family to come here. Theres no need to give a customer attitude even if its not a bike its the same tire and brake pads thats all I asked for. Not only that I was the second person he dealt with as I was there right at opening. This guy needs to get his attitude in check or a lot more customers wont be returning like me and everyone Im gonna share this with.
So helpful and very kind
Very good attention .great atitude... thanks to all teamwork.
Nice to customers best bike shop in sj
Great bike shop. Quick service and they are very helpful if you have questions. My go to bike shop.
All I gotta say Just like other comments, owner rude af & very douchy
The owner is so rude. This happened to like 3 years ago but I didn’t write anything until now he basically pushed me out of his shop no reason if you guys wantEd a better service and price go to a different bike shop like (sun bike shop ) Is by Alum Rock a totally awesome people
Great customer service, got honest recommendations and did not feel ripped off in any way. This was just my initial experience as I wait for my road bike to be serviced. If my service experience changes in anyway, I will update ;)
Great customer service. During pandemic 1 person allowed at a time.
Great fast service, got my bike fix in less then two hours....
Quick, professional, and polite. The guy who helped me already knew what I needed.
Bought a new Giant Medium frame mens hybrid bike. Totally happy with my experience here. He helped me decide on a frame. A quick test drive and I was out with the bike in under 10 min.
Excellent Service......Common mans paradise.... Competitive prices
Perfect customer service and very helpful 👌
Very helpful. They dont try to upsell you stuff or make you feel bad. They can get busy sometimes but its for good reason. Reasonable prices.
Worst staff ever. Kick you out right away when you get there telling you have to wait outside. Rude, disrespectful staff
Its a nice little bike shop! young guy behind the counter verly friendly and helpful. Older man working on my bike, seemed quite friendly to. Happy w the price to buy and install a new tube. :)
Bad Customer service!More than ten days waiting for small adjustment to my bike rear wheel, then when I went to pick it up they said I have to wait for four more days. Really what if I give then big job. How long it’s going to take? A year. Please be serious if you can’t handle don’t waste your and customer time.
Great service. Picked up a Giant talon 3 29, put about 20 miles on it today, and I am really pleased with the bike, its a entry level mountain bike, but has some nice components for the price range. Wayne
These guys are top-notch and I am so pleased to have them in our area. I used to go to Reeds Sporting Goods, but they are gone, now. Fast Bicycle is even better than Reeds. They are very knowledgeable and their prices are very reasonable. I give high recommendations to Fast Bicycle.
8$ chain installation. Cheapest out of all bike shops. Tom/Tim gave it a check and was honest instead of taking my money and saying no work was needed. Anyone who wants a honest business to care for your bike, this is the place!
Quick affordable service
Poor service.drop off bike for check over and got bike back missing parts. Called them and they said Powell its my problem.ill never go back.
Fast Bicycle is one of the best bike companies I can recommend to friends and family. Employees are very kind and courteous to their customers. Their prices are right. If I ever have a problem again, I would choose fast bicycle.
I have purchased multiple bikes from Tom because of the customer service and competitive prices. Tom will make sure that you are educated and well informed before you make a purchase. He made sure I had a chance to test ride multiple bikes, making sure that the sizing and fit was a match.On my last visit, I brought in a friend who was looking for a road bike. Tom spent an hour educating us on frame manufacturing, components, and geometry without pushing for a sale! This is a shop that you can go to purchase a bike, get repairs, or just talk about the latest trend in biking. I would reccomend this shop to all my friends.
The best bikes and the best service and good quality
Do you guys have any se bikes
I see the stellar reviews and wonder where the disconnect is. And I think it has to do with who is providing the customer service when you walk in. Recently I needed a derailleur adjustment and chose Fast Bike. I dropped the bike off with a fairly pleasant hispanic gent. But when picking it up I had the displeasure of dealing with a very curt person, who may have been the owner. Perhaps his discourtesy was due to my tan. I dont know, I dont care. All I can say is good luck running a small business in East San Jose with an attitude like that.Response to the owner:Nothing you said has changed my mind about what I saw and how I was treated. And what youre saying about an order I cancelled 2 months agomakes no sense. Because I saw another bike that I preferred elsewhere,I canceled my order. And I was so outraged that you fairly charged meshipping fees that I brought my new bike in to be serviced??? You say youre not a racist, glad to hear it. Then you are just unpleasant.Let me give you some advice, in case you are in business for another 40 years. Let the other guy do the customer facing. Honestly, you are not good at it.
Great bike shop. These guys know their bikes and a very good at fixing whatever problems you may have. Would highly recommend
So far, Ive had nothing but good experiences with this bike shop. The guys working there give great recommendations. Their prices and selection are quite competitive with other shops and online, despite their small size. They may not have every last model that interests you in stock, but Im pretty sure they could order and assemble just about anything from Giant and Specialized (apparently no Trek though). While Im no pushover, Im typically pretty easy to deal with, and I dont mind paying a fair price for something if I have the money. But my wife is an obsessive compulsive bargainer (shes Chinese, so yeah, its part of the culture), and she only recently immigrated, so it can be a bit of a shock for American stores to have to answer her constant pleas for discounts. Being her husband, Ive tried to explain to her that sometimes, if she expects to have quality service down the line, its better to accept a fair price and develop a relationship than to haggle for every last penny, but theres only so much I can get through to her. Thankfully, the guys at Fast Bike were firm but respectful, and understood that she was just doing her due diligence as a consumer. They dont seem to take anything personally, and I respect that. The quality of assembly is second to none. This is the type of bike shop where you wont necessarily get the best combo discounts or post-purchase service deals, but what you can count on is quality service and maintenance at reasonable prices. I would not hesitate to come back here for maintenance visits. There are some bigger bike shops in the area that have amazing discounts and bonuses when you buy a bike from them, but their ratings are consistently much lower, and they seem to get a lot of complaints. My guess is theyre only willing or able to provide a lower level of service for what they make, and they rely on volume to stay open. I think its a case of getting what you pay for. 6 months of free service excluding flats may not seem like a big deal from Fast Bike, but I feel confident that they will take care of our bikes without ripping us off going forward. The one major con is that they dont seem to carry very many accessories. They might have 1 or 2 choices of each accessory type that youre interested in, and the prices are hit or miss compared to online. I realize that comes with being a small shop, but it does unfortunately mean I will typically start my search for accessories online first and then wander into the store to see if they have any comparable products and/or prices. This makes it somewhat unlikely that I will do much accessory shopping from them. Whether or not you need accessories is a very personal thing. I like to ride at night, lock up my bike, go camping, vlog, and carry groceries, so obviously I need a few accessories to make all that happen. But if you just want to ride on trails during daylight, youll probably be fine without accessories, in which case this bike shop will have everything you need.
Ive been going to fast bikes since I was a kid buying my first Schwinn from the old man . I returned often to buy patches tubes or stickers to fix my friends bikes. I loved talking to the old man about bikes or just hanging out. I took my son to get his first bike from fast bikes. I noticed the change of attitude once the old man stopped working but looked past it. Today that legacy ended . I took my bike in to tru the front rim . I was told to return in six hours and so I did. Upon receiving my bike it seemed they worked on the back rim . I was told to return in another hour and a half. I returned and as I was told while dropping the bike off that the rim might be damaged unrepairable so it was. As I observed the rim I noticed at the base of thetwo spokes close to the damage area were two identical twists . I questioned why these were there and I was told that a stick might have done that and thats why its bent. Sticks dont bend a spoke in two different directions with the same space between the bends on two different spokes. Now I might have been born at night but not last night. I know that twisting a spoke with pliers is a quick fix or its a way to tell if the rim will repair without taking everything apart and wasting time. Let alone the plier marks on the spoke nut. Id post pics but its not an option here. It saddens me to think someone would misjudged my knowledge of bikes enough to mislead me. I wasnt charged but eight hours to accomplish nothing along with driving from Newark to visit the old shop. Take care fast bikes, I wish you the best . Ill miss the old man and the great memorys but times have changed.
Great customer service speedy and efficient. And prices are awesome! A rim and tire were going to run me bout $120 the owner fixed my rim and tire for $20 thank you and it was ready in less than 2 hrs.
The name doesnt do this place justice. Not only was the service fast, Tom and his team kept me under budget while going above and beyond to ensure top performance. I highly recommend this shop for routine maintenance and will be going back for more complicated fixes in the future.
Very friendly and helpful! Been dealing with them for five years now... No complaints!
Love this shop. I bought two bikes from Tom. The price is lower compared to other shops. Great service.
I went there to buy some new bike parts the only person who nice to me was the young guy the 2 guys in the back had an attitude with me. I dont know if they treated me like this just because im young but they made me feel unwelcome. And they also forgot to give me my seat
Sabotage. I went in to get a new rear wheel. got them to change the tube and ruber to the new wheel. after weeks of the tube moving on me while I ride. I took it apart. not only were there gritty substances in the wheel Im completely missing my thorn guard.
Great and prompt service. I took my son bike to be assembled and it was done quickly and right.
Used to come here alot when I was younger and was the go to spot but the guy now was rude giving attitude for simple questions. lost all my respect for fast.
Great costumers service, and best prices on anything you need done on your bike. Support your local bike shop.
Got a flat with no money nor credit card on me. The shopkeeper helped me replaced the front tire without a question! Real fast too! Will definitely go back as promised!
Rick & Tom rock. Super quick, price great, and were glad to help. Had flat, replaced inner tube in no time. Great service.
Great service. I came here looking for a bike to ride to work. They helped me get the right bike for my purpose and in my price range. They also helped me load it in my car.
I brought in my bike with a broken freewheel. They fixed it quickly, and for a price that made me happy. The upshot: They saved me a frustrating afternoon of DIY repair, and at a bargain!
Best place to buy a bicycle Tom really is knowledgeable and not gonna upsale you
Fixes your bike for a good price and doesnt take long.
Excellent serviceRicardo its a very professional, good care of customers
It was a good experience, good prices and good service. I would definitely go for another bike.
I have purchased three bike from this shop over the past five years and had all my service on them performed here. I have always been given excellent customer service and never had a complaint about the work done to my bikes.
They try to sale old tires to customers...and people return right after that they try to force to keep it and said it will works the same with brand new...bag customer service.
Good guys and good service. Know what they are doing.
Terrible service, was a very bad first impression. Not professional at all, took my bike to get a tune up and when I picked it up, turned out the bike was in these same place I had left it with no work done. Going to have to take my business someplace else.
Very good service, very helpful, and same day service
Employees are super nice and kind and have great quality bikes
Great! Love the shop! They know what they are doing!
Great employees! Awesome prices! Awesome service!
Very efficient and fast service, customer service on point, good pricing.I walked in with a punctured front wheel and without any hassle, got the tire replaced in under ten minutes.
Very fast service, knows what he is doing, and a reasonable price. I went here today because my rear wheel wiggle.
This is my LBS. I have good experiences with them, and the repair prices are reasonable.
Very rude, and was had a dismissive attitude to us. Would not go here for any reason whatsoever. Do not go here!
This is where I bought my bike 4 yrs ago and its as tough as a tank! Im an avid mountain biker and I beat the crap out of my bike-it takes a lickn and keeps on tickn! Then when it comes time for a tune-up the mechanic here always does a great job-comes out of the shop riding like the first day I bought it; bran new! A few times the issue was so minor and took only a few minutes he didnt even chrage me. This is a great and honest bike shop and they are only a few minutes away from Alum Rock Park where they have some of the best biking trails. I highly recommend Fast Bicycle!
Da spot for the bmx parts!
I took a bike in to get the front crankset replaced. I asked for the same model crankset to be put on my bike. I think the guys in the shop thought I wasnt the most knowledgeable about bikes so they replaced my crankset with an extremely cheap and non compatible crankset. The front derailleur was now shifting very poorly and had almost an inch gap over my largest chain ring (its supposed to be 2mm gap). Its almost impossible to adjust to get to shift and wont cycle more than half my gears. Ill have to buy a new crankset to replace the junk they put on my bike. Wasted 60 dollars on parts and labor at Fast Bicycle...
What we needed at the price we needed, happily served
Walked in to the store and immediate received attention. Great selection and advice for a last minute purchase plus quality bike compared to Walmart and Target junk.
Good service, got my tire pump for free here
Real nice bikes
The staff member who I asked for info about a bike was rather rude and I didn’t appreciate that at all. I won’t be shopping here.
Good service at varying prices
Nice ppl and decent selection
Great place
