Great team at SDBS, rented a well maintained road bike, they supported me in route finding and recommended an amazing taco shop to stop at mid ride. Thank you! Cost effective and quick turnaround in shop - worth a visit if looking to see SD off the beaten path.

I would get the store negative if I could the lady at the front desk with the nose ring and the bruises all over her arms threw away my son‘s bike. Now they say that they called me multiple times never called me. Never gave me any inclination that they were gonna throw away my son‘s bike. I spoke with a gentleman their name Jake, and a gentleman their name Andy both did nothing to Remedy the situation the long haired girl with all the bruises on her arms, and the nose ring with the hat backwards was the rudest person I’ve ever met not only that she claim that I was trespassing. She got loud and threatened me several times if you want to keep your bike, do not shop here or deal with these people.
