Alan’s Bike Shop

This is the best place for all you beach cruiser needs. Top quality bikes and top quality staff makes this the only place i buy bikes from.
if your not into cruisers, they have road bikes and BMX too.

Bought my first road bike here and they helped me pick it out and recommended what was best not was just to most expensive. They actually took the time to answer all my questions and help me with the basics and show me all the ins and outs about the bike and riding. Such great customer service they really care about you and are not just trying to get you to buy something.

The more bicycles I bring into Alan’s for tune-​ups, the happier I am :)
I absolutely love riding bikes, we do it often, and I have become somewhat of a hobbyist. I always figure out a way to justify picking adding another ride to the pack. In the past, I’ve brought a couple of vintage bicycles (Nishiki/​Schwinn) in for new tires, tubes, chain, and general bike tune-​up stuff.
Alan’s is located on the 101 in Oceanside, and you can usually find parking pretty easily curbside. They carry mostly Electra bikes, fixies, and cruisers, also be sure to check out their selection of baskets, bells, lights, and other fun accessories to roll with. They have stuff for all ages and interests.
Something I’ve greatly appreciated is their customer service and selection of tires. Vintage bikes often have what are now considered odd-​sized tires, and I like to keep ‘em as true to original as possible.
Always enjoy coming back, thanks for letting me test all the bells! :D

Great service! Rented a terrific hybrid 21 gear bike. Before I left with the bike, they put the bike on a rack and totally inspected it! Very impressive. I’ve been riding for years and found this bike even more comfy than my own. Great bike seats as well. The helmet was the most comfy I have ever worn!

These guys were terrific. Not only did they fix my bike properly and quickly, they carried it out to my truck (it really would’ve been too heavy for me). The prices were more than fair. The gentlemen with the accent (sorry, didn’t get his name,) is awesome! Don’t think twice… Go there.

Disappointed in the service. They didn’t carry a tire for my bicycle. They did not offer a solution or where to go to get a new tire. I know Alan’s bike shop has been part of Oceanside for a long time but I feel that they’re slipping please improve your customer service Alan!

Was a little worried after reading reviews. Went in looking for a bike for my son. Called first and they had exactly what we were looking for. Went in and we were helped by Bobby. He was super helpful, he was also the one that helped me on the phone. We got exactly what we were looking for at a price we expected to pay. I’d recommend Alan’s.

I really like this shop, bought a lot of asserories over the last couple months. Went in last week to buy a new bike, then shopped around and came back here to get the bike. Staff is friendly and full of information, no pressure sales. I spent a lot more than I wanted, but feel it was the bike I wanted.
I do recommend this place,

Walked into this place and no employee came out to see if I needed help. I even waited around the counter where I found 1 employee helping a customer and 2 employees joking around with themselves. They seemed completely uninterested in selling any bikes. A shame because I was looking to buy a nice road bike. Took my business to Trek in San Marcos and never looked back.

My husband and I bought our bikes back in July, they were super accommodating for my free 6 month tuneup and I went in today to get fit for my bike! The guy who helped me, Jim, was wonderful! He taught me basic things, that in my 9 months of riding didn’t realize/​pick up on yet. He was really knowledgeable and super attentive. I will definitely recommend this bike shop to anyone who is looking and be back when I am ready to upgrade my bike!

A bit pricey, but quick. Needed a spoke replaced on a rear wheel and $ 26 and an 1 ½ hrs later I have a trued fixed rear wheel.
However, they could have at least cleaned it up a bit.

Being so close to a military base, I cannot believe this shop does not give discount to retired military.
I will not come back to this bike shop for that reason. All the other bike shops in oceanside gives retired military discount.
I don’t expect military discount everywhere but I’m just posting this negative feedback because this shop is so close to the base.

Went here (Oceanside) yesterday looking for a bike rack and helmet. The guy helping me seemed to really know his stuff, and was an avid bicyclist himself. But he didn’t spend hardly any time with me. Another customer asked him for help while he was talking to me. He went to help them, which was fine … The issue is he never came back. I never did ask about bike racks. And when I walked out the door, a little bell dinged, notifying employees that someone walked through the door. I hesitated to see if anybody would look my way. Nobody batted an eye.
Also, I just looked up the helmet I found there on amazon, and it was 30% less. So just as well they didn’t come back to me.
All in all, this place has a pretty good selection, but I didn’t find them particularly helpful. Not horrible, but not great. And the prices are a bit high.
There are soooooooo many great bike shops in the San Diego area, I’d skip this place and find someplace else. I just prefer to shop where employees are more interested and intuitive about the customer needs.

I went to their new location in Murrieta. It is right next to the Albertsons off of California Oaks Rd. I bought a new Electra 7 Spd cruiser in Matte Green. The staff was very friendly and didn’t try to up sell me on a more expensive bike. They were also very helpful in fitting my son for a new helmet. Best part they not only offer military discount on the accessories, they even include military discount on the bikes. I have shopped around other local bike shops in Murrieta/​Temecula and this was the only one I have found so far that would give the military discount on the bike as well, to top it off the purchase includes a free tune up after 6 months. Thanks to the friendly staff, I will definitely be making my future bike purchases at Alan’s Bike Shop!!!

I went here about 2 – 3 months ago. Finally writing a review. I just got a road bike from a friend and went to get it «fitted.» They didn’t charge me anything and fixed alignment and pumped up tires and all that. Michael (I think) was the name of the guy who helped me. He was super nice! It only took like 10 minutes, not even. What they did was something probably not worth charging for, or maybe 10 bucks, if that. But in this day and age it was really nice for them to help and not charge. It was genuine! I will def come here for future tune ups or bike help. They won over my business with their kindness and help! Just wanted to spread the word!

Went in and got a new tire from them which worked out fine. But they weren’t able to fix the pedal on bike correctly, not sure why, but I took it to Pacific Coast Cycles and Chuck fixed it up just fine. Nice shop and pretty good service.

This bike shop is down the street from my house and charges very reasonably for bike tune-​ups and repairs. They also get it done fast which makes it really convenient. The guys here were really helpful and didn’t try selling me on a bunch of stuff I didn’t need. For any basic bike stuff you may need, I totally recommend visiting Alan’s.

I had taken my jogging stroller in to Alan’s to get a punctured tube replaced, and the tube popped the very next day, even before I had a chance to use the stroller. The guys at Alan’s replaced it, no questions asked (well, one question was asked, but you get my point) and free of charge.
I really appreciated that they did the right thing, and graciously.

Alan’s has been around a long time. I don’t know how! Their customer service is terrible!
They barely want to acknowledge you when you come in and shop. When I finally was approached by a young man, he was full of bad information.
Their selection of road bikes is terrible. I asked if there were any entry level bikes for around $ 600. He said all road bikes start at $ 1000. When I asked if they had any women’s road bikes, he said their was no difference, all road bikes unisex.
I won’t be back, nor will I recommend this LBS

This is an awesome bike shop! I’ve been there a few times now, to look for a bike and to get a bike fixed. The employees come right up to you and help in any way needed, they’re super knowledgeable and aren’t pushy AT ALL. Thank you! My hubby and I wanted to look for bikes to purchase for ourselves, but weren’t ready to buy just yet. The employee who helped us knew that, but still stuck around to answer all the questions we threw at him. And there were a lot! I really appreciate that, because when we ARE ready to buy, we’ll be back! (Don’t worry Alan’s, it’ll be soon!)
I didn’t realize they also rent bikes too. Cool!
