The Bicycle Tree — Local services in Santa Ana

These guys are so awesome!! =)

Came in here after having some trouble with my bike. Paul & Christopher here was so patient & helpful with fixing & teaching me so many different things about my bike.

I learned so much today that i would have never known if I had to take it to an expensive bike shop & having someone fixing it for me. Yay! =)

The people here not only help you with any problems that you have with your bicycle but they also teach you how to fix & answer all your questions about your bike.

It's ONLY $7/hr to use all of their equipment & space & they provide the expertise to help guide you in fixing your bike. =) They won't turn you down if you down have $$ either.

They also hold classes & have maintenance sessions where you can bring in your bicycle for help to get it fixed.

They even have Sunday morning group rides which you can participate in also. Check out their website 4 more info.

Feel free to call them if you have any questions. =)

They give back so much to the community; it's amazing that one small shop can make such a positive difference in a neighborhood.

Tip: This place is great if you're a newbie cyclist/ student/ cyclist on a budget. They won't charge you an arm & a leg to help you fix your bike but you have to be willing to learn & be hands on in fixing your bike. =)

Pro Tip: If you have any bike parts/ accessories / old bicycles that you want to get rid of please bring it here & donate it so that they can use it to help...

I can't begin to talk about this place. It's something you really have to just feel and experience. You'll lose faith in buying new bikes. But it's not just the great selection of fantastic used bikes they have. It's the environment and the vibe. I haven't felt this is a very long time. I had the option to pick up a brand new bike from Walmart but I chose to go the used bike route because I knew the experience my little girl would get would be impossible to get elsewhere. They are such kind people and clearly know what they're doing. If you're looking for a bike, any bike, go here first. Spend some time and I can assure you that you'll find what you're looking for. The fact that you can get your hands dirty and they help you do it is just something that has to be experienced. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone who's remotely into biking. For yourself or for your kids....

It was suggested to visit The Bicycle Tree because of how they are different than most bike shops. The mechanic on duty will assist or teach you how to work on your own bike. They take donated bikes and do no buy bikes (because the bikes could be stolen). It is a non-profit organization and they do sell used bikes. I went with a pastor friend who bought a part for his bikes brake system and I needed a seat post and saddle.

I believe the attendants name was Paul. He listens really well. Even though I did not bring my bike in, but knew the year and model, he found the correct circumference for my seat post and a I had a selection of two really nice saddles. If I bought the same at a standard bike shop I would have paid upwards to $90.00 or more. Here the sticker price was $35.00, but he gave it to me for $30.00. :- )

Thanks a lot, and of course...
