One of my favorite spots in Austin! Natalie is a mega babe and knows her stuff. I bought my first fixed gear here and just about all my bike accessories. I’ve had all my bikes tuned up here as well, not just my fixie and I’m satisfied every time. Now that they have coffee I have another excuse to drop in and hang out. Natalie always makes me feel welcome!

Natalie is great! Very kind, calm, and informative. I came in wanting a specific bicycle, which had to get ordered. It was no problem at, and the bike looks and rides perfect.
I’ll be back very soon!
Cheers!

Very personable and friendly staff. They’re welcoming and talk to you as equals. I went in for a new chain and ended up finding a cool tank top and the chain was put on in a couple minutes. Quick, cheap, plus they have coffee. Go!

Natalie took care of me and my bike like a true professional. This is what great customer service looks like and I couldn’t be happier with the performance of my bike. Got to try the coffee next time. :)

Natalie and team are a great way to start your day! The nostalgic coffee bar is a place to meet new people and enjoy conversation. Don’t forget to buy a bike while you’re there, or ride in for a tune-​up! They serve local coffee and treats, and the coffee is a spotlight!

This place is dope. Not only can you get great coffee and go online while you’re waiting for your bike to get ready, but Natalie who owns the shop is really great, and the mechanic is super sweet and knows his shit really well. I went to east side pedal pushers with my used bike I just got, and they told me they couldn’t do anything to get it rolling sharper. Here, the mechanic made it smooth like butter, and they’re always there for you if something goes wrong.

I’ve been here twice: once with a friend for coffee and once to get my bike fixed. The latter was super last-​minute as my tire literally exploded a couple of blocks away, but when I came into the shop right before closing, the staff were still happy to assist me and got me and my bike back on the street 10 minutes and $ 11 later. A lot of bike places in Austin have an air of intimidation, but not Fast Folks. You can tell that they genuinely care about building community. I will definitely be returning for more delicious espresso and friendly service.

Love love love only place I recommend to all my clients in town even those who come see me from out of town I have had ended buying their bike and gear at this one stop shop. Plus no need to chase the ice cream truck they keep plenty to go around

Great coffee, great staff. I walked in on my first day in Austin not knowing much about street bikes but wanting to start biking to work; the owner let me test drive a few bikes, then set up the bike I liked best for my height and handle bar preferences. The coffee is good too!

The bike folks at Fast Folks Cyclery are great, they walked us through some fixes (we moved recently and our bikes got trashed in transit) and what the costs were. Glad to find them on the East side of Austin

The only reason this place is getting even 3 stars is because their mechanics are amazing. Otherwise, I don’t see the hype about this place at all. They have some fun products, and an eh selection of fixed gear bikes. But overall I was not pleased with the service we received here and will not be going back.

I let a friend borrow my bike & needless to say it was returned a little jacked up. I took it over to Fast Folks because that’s where I bought my super kickass nutcase helmet… New location ROCKS by the way; You can have refreshments & munchies while you sit at the beautiful bar & chat with Natalie. Jared was super helpful. He explained to me what my friend had broken, the parts that were my own maintenance issues & he gave me some new ideas on how to make my bike lighter. Bike works even better than before !!!
