What a wonderful experience renting a bike for a day. The transaction of picking up the road bike was seamless. I am training for a crit race and Im so happy that I chose Bike Revolution for my rental in the city. I was also given a recommendation to bike around Fiesta Island Park which was absolutely phenomenal! Caught a beautiful sunset. I cant wait to come back.

Great bike, great rates and stellar service. The delivery is an excellent addition. They cut me a great deal for a weeks rental and having a bike for most of my time in the fantastically bike-friendly city of SD made all the difference on my vacation! Would definitely recommend these guys! And biking is the very best way to see the San Diego paradise!

Patrick was easy to work with on getting a bike. He seemed to be more than happy to bring the bike to my hotel and also pick it up.The bike worked awesome! I biked the pacific coast highway from San Diego north to Oceanside. It was a ride on my bucket list and this place made it easy for me to complete! I will definitely be renting him again!

Patrick was excellent. He replied promptly to all texts and phone calls. He delivered bikes to our hotel and offered to let us have them an hour early. He was also very prompt in picking up the bikes at the pre-appointed time. Bike rental included helmets and Cable with lock.We rented twice from Patrick during our one week stay in San Diego because he was so friendly and efficient. Kudos to Patrick. We will definitely rent from him again next time we are in San Diego.

I would 100% recommend renting a bike from here.We rented 2 bikes, which were delivered with bottle cages, locks, helmets, tools, and a basket - everything we needed to get out of the city.We missed the delivery time, and Patrick, the owner, met us where we were. Really cool guy, and cares about the cycling community.

We recently rented two road bikes. Patrick is very responsive and quickly arranged for delivery and pick up in different locations. The bikes were properly tuned and he double checked them before we took them. Patrick is passionate about cycling and his local knowledge is helpful for planning your ride. The Bike Revolution is our go-to for renting bikes when visiting San Diego.

I rented a road bike from The Bike Revolution for a few days while I was staying in Cardiff by the Sea. They brought me the bike at the arranged time, and then picked it up again a few days later.Well organized, nice people, locally owned. This is the sort of business Im happy to support!

I rented a bike for Bike the Bay and was coming from out of town, so needed a reliable good fit bike. I got that as well as extra attention and a bike exchange. bike Revolution was great and made my weekend activities go very smoothly.

Great place to rent a bike - very reasonably priced, bikes are in excellent condition, and free curbside drop-off and pick-up. Owner was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in answering my questions and providing the right size and type of bike for my riding needs. Bike drop-off and pick-up services were super convenient, quick, and easy. I simply texted the owner my address and when I wanted the bike in the morning and then again when I was done riding and he dropped off and picked up the bike within 20-30 minutes. The bike was in perfect condition - the tires were full, adjustable seat, gears and brakes worked well, and free bike lock with the rental. Highly recommend the Bike Revolution for bike rental.

I had a great experience with Bike Revolution! My bike was delivered to and picked up from my hotel, so it was real easy. When the first bike was just a tad too big (Im quite short), it was a quick switch and a new bike was brought. The proprietor is a super genuine guy who just wants to share his passion for bicycling with others. If youre in town for a few days, I definitely recommend giving him a call!

St
Review №25

I agree with the other posts here: very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful staff. They were very friendly and gave good suggestions about where to ride. Your rental comes with a helmet, lock and repair kit. I feel good about renting from a place that clearly takes care of their bikes and their customers. We had a great ride on Coronado Island today. Thanks for setting us up.

Patrick is awesome. I was traveling from Dallas and my flight was delayed. He brought my bike rental to my hotel at 10:00 at night so I would have it early the next morning. He then met me at the hotel to pick it up the next day. The bike was in perfect condition. I ended up with a great 30 mile ride to La Jolla and back.

Rented a Giant road bike with Tiagra groupset from The Bike Revolution while I was in town for a wedding. The bike was great but the customer service was even better! Fantastic experience overall. Patrick dropped the bike off at our hotel in Mission Bay and picked up within an hour of calling despite HEAVY traffic coming over the bridges. Highly recommend!

I was working in San Diego and on a whim decided to see about a MTB rental over the weekend. Im really glad I did as the process was quick and easy. The staff was great to deal with and they even recommended a few riding areas. I opted for Nobel Canyon and am extremely glad, I had a great time there, it was awesome.

Excellent place to rent a bike. I borrowed a Giant Defy Advanced for the day and set about exploring around San Diego. 120+ miles later, I rolled back down 6th to drop off the bike. The Guys in the shop were excellent, fitting my pedals and adjusting the bike to fit. It was well maintained and perfect for a day in the saddle. 100% recommended.

I was riding my bike downtown when I suddenly got a flat tire. I reached out to Patty and literally within minutes, he was there with his amazing mobile operation. He repairdmy flat tire and also educated me a lot about bikes. He was super friendly, professional, funny and helpful. He had me back riding on my bike in no time, and provided excellent customer service with reasonable prices. I highly recommend using Patty and his services, for he is the shining example of true small business magic.

Review №38

This is likely the best place to rent a real bike in San Diego. They rent high end carbon road bikes. High end carbon mountain bikes and city cruisers and all types in between. Fast friendly service. I walked in. Rented a city cross bike for 4 hours ($20) and it literally was in and out in 10mins. Including helmet and lock. i rode it around to Coronado and came back via the ferry. Like 2hr ride. It was a pretty good rental. They also do in city pick up and drops offs as well. If you want a good bike or if your a serious rider this is the place to rent. It’s a great bike shop. Thanks very much!

This review is about an employee. While visiting my Marine, I stopped in a Dunkin Donuts in San Diego. A rude patron viciously verbally attacked my daughter- completely unprovoked. While my Marine remained calm, cool & collected, I was visibly shaken & terrified. I adamently refused to leave until a gentleman offered to escort us to our car. That man then drove away in a vehicle with The Bike Revolution logo on it. Shout out to his mom for raising a decent, kind man. We need more good people like you in the world. Thank you again ❤

Review №41

The guy told me it was a mobile service and he would come to me. Seemed sketchy at first but he rode up in a nice wrapped vehicle and did the repairs right outside my place and for a very reasonable price and fast service. He fixed a flat on my Xiaomi m365 scooter which are very difficult to fix so if he can fix those he can probably fix anything. Highly recommended!

We rented bikes from Bike Revolution for two days while in San Diego. The service and communication was stellar! Patrick gave us maps and some tips on where to go. We took his advice and rode to Point Loma and had lunch there. The ride along the harbor was beautiful!The second day, we rode to Balboa Park and went to the zoo and the Japanese Friendship Garden. It was a great way to see the city and the park. The bikes are well-maintained and easy to ride.Patrick delivered the bikes, helmets and locks to our hotel and picked them up when we were finished. We couldn’t have asked for better service!

Patty was awesome. He delivered two bikes for my friend and I to ride around San Diego with and also gave us a great recommendation to ride from downtown to Pacific Beach. Absolutely had a blast exploring. We were easily able to text him and let him know to come pick up the bikes from the hotel. Will definitely be renting if I come back to this beautiful city again. Thanks for the laughs, Pat!

I highly recommend this bicycle rental company if you are visiting San Diego. Their customer service was excellent, they delivered the bike for me free of charge and even had different options for me to try. The bike was lightweight and well maintained. If you are visiting from out of town, this is a much better option than going down to the beach/boardwalk and renting one of those heavy, clunky beach cruisers. These bikes will actually get you places. Thanks again, I will be a repeat customer!

This business is open!! Thank you Patrick! Such great customer service! We came out to Diego for a mini staycation. And wanted to enjoy the city, the weather and the outdoors. Although the shop was closed, we called the number and Patrick picked up immediately, answered all our questions, and even gave us a great 24hour rental deal. He met us where we were to deliver the bikes - within 20 mins. He picked up the bikes the following day while we were having lunch. And he just had the best attitude!! For sure we will be renting from Patrick again...we already have his number saved!

Had a flat on Coronado, rode the ferry across to the city and Patrick was at the ferry terminal waiting for me to fix my tire. He was very knowledgeable of his trade and was a super cool dude. Got my tire fixed on the side of the street in under 15 minutes ! If you need some bike maintenance done give this guy a call !

Review №62

Excellent business trip road rental experience! I travel for business often, and always try to rent a bike to explore the area and get in a workout. Patrick (the manager) was great, personally delivering the bike to my meeting location and fine tuning the fit, although it was already perfect with the measurements I had previously emailed. I was happy to see the computer mount and the seat pack/pump, both of which came in handy with my inevitable flat tire. Ironically Patrick had texted to check on me just as I got the flat, and offered to come pick me up or fix the flat, I refused as the city is so bike friendly! The routes on the website are excellent, I highly recommend the Bayshore Bikeway and Cabrillo National Monument rides. All around an excellent rental experience and a great value!

Rented a Giant TCR carbon road bike for a day. Staff was super awesome, helpful and friendly. Paid 75+20 in insurance which seems steep for a ~$2k bike.Maintenance wasn’t bad but could’ve been a little better.Overall great experience and I’d rent again.

Rented a bike for the day for $40. I managed to cycle to Old Point Loma Lighthouse and Ocean and Mission beaches. The bike had the necessary gears and good brakes. They provided lock, tools and cycle helmet. Unfortunately I did get a puncture. I would recommend this place if you intend to do some serious cycling.

Convenient, great price- can’t beat the service. We were staying in Imperial Beach and wanted to bike up to Coronado. Pat was so friendly and communicative and delivered two quality bikes (and locks) to us at our hotel and picked them up when we were done. So nice to have them delivered vs needing to go pick them up. Will absolutely rent from here again!

Review №66

Perfect if youre looking for a great deal on a used bike. Military discounts, too! There are plenty to choose from, and they are super affordable. Just make sure you call or go in, the website is not up to date with every bike available.Patrick, the owner, really cares a lot about his customers and business. The store has a feel similar to that of a local branch of a larger chain; as a marketer I noticed many small things that add up to give it a very professional feel. But in reality, this is the only store. Its very impressive.Theres not much else to say than go here if you want high quality service, fair (and affordable) prices for both renting and buying, and an easy buying experience. Fellow service members, hell take great care of you.Tl;dr: Great service, great prices, great location, easy buying experience. Do it!!

I wanted to write up a review for Patrick at The Bike Revolution. I rarely write up any reviews, but Patrick was an absolute professional. He assembled my brand new Himiway ebike cruiser and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. I plan on hiring Patrick for any and all bike repairs or services moving forward. He came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. If you need a repair or assembly, Patrick is who you should be hiring.

I recently discovered a flat tire on my Trek bike front tire early one Sunday morning but could not remove the tire.I googled bike shops near me and saw a bike store listed on sixth ave near our condo. I called the number and was surprised to hear some one named Pattty answer. He came to our place in 30 minutes and showed me the anti-theft nut that Trek uses, then removed it and fixed my tire. Incredible service and very reasonableprice from an outstanding young man.

Saw an ad online for some rental bikes for sale, the bike we went in for had already sold but the sales staff and more specifically the manager, Patrick, were great to work with! He made us an amazing deal buying two bikes, made sure they’re both ready to roll and we’re comfortable and confident with our bikes. Felt like being apart of the family and working with a friend rather than a salesman. So happy we went here than anywhere else! More importantly my girl has a killer bike that SHE is comfortable with and so excited to get riding!Thank you Patrick, and thank you The Bike Revolution!

BIKE REVOLUTION ROCKS!! I had flat tires on two bikes and it was so convenient for him to come outside my apartment building and repair both of them since I couldn’t fit the bikes in my car.

I had a great experience with Bike Revolution. Pat went out of his way to make sure I had the ride I was looking for. As a tall person its not easy finding a fit and he came through for me with a 61 cm road bike. Even swapped out pedals to fit for my SPDSLs. Pick up and drop off was simple.I know where Im going for my next ride in San Diego.

If you want a great riding experience, this is the place to go. They have excellent bicycle selections and the pricing is great for the types of bikes offered. The team is extremely friendly and helpful. I was not familiar with biking in the area, and they reviewed the different options, distances, and difficulty so I was able to go on some amazing rides with confidence. They provide helmets, locks, and a flat repair kit. Renting here made my weekend trip amazing! I recommend this place if you are in the area and want to go for a ride.
