Why Buy Your Bike at Sprockets?
Whether it's the color of the bike or the fact you think the shop dog has a nice face, there's a wide range of reasons why people choose the bike and the store they do.
We hope that as you shop, you compare quality, value and service and find that Sprockets has the most to offer. (And we do have a great dog!)
Experienced staff:
We have almost six decades of combined experience in selecting, fitting, building and repairing bikes.
Choosing a bike to fit your riding style is the first step. Whether you're preparing to do your first century or just want to cruise West Cliff in style, we can help you find the right bike.
And we'll make sure the right bike is the right size. Bikes are offered in a variety of frame sizes and finding the one to fit your body makes cycling safer, more efficient and of course, more fun. We'll properly set the saddle height and positioning and make sure you're comfortable with the operation of your bike.
Sprockets also offers a free 30-day check over on your new bike as well as a year free adjustments. That gives you peace of mind.
If you're looking for gifts we can provide you with a variety of suggestions to make every cyclist happy. We all ride and we know what riders want.
Bike shop vs. big box:
You can buy a new bike at a toy store or mass merchandiser for less than $100 but you will be sacrificing quality and safety as well as adding to an overflowing landfill.
Sprockets' bikes are built for longevity. We have customers who bring in bikes they bought for their children and years later are having them tuned up to hand down to younger siblings, cousins or friends.
With lifetime warranties on the frame and quality, major-manufacturer components throughout, a quality bike will last for generations. Toy store bikes are built for short-term use and are meant to be discarded. Environmentally we all pay much more for this mentality.
Our bikes are built for fun and safety. When you buy a bike a Sprockets, it comes properly assembled and adjusted by people whose passion is bicycles. That means when you put your brakes on at the bottom of a steep hill, you know they've been adjusted by a professional – not by someone who stocked Fruit Loops in the morning and assembled your bike in the afternoon.
