We came to UC Davis for a class and decided to stay at a hotel at least 1 mile away so that we could take advantage of the weather to bike. The hotel offered bikes, but mine was in "iffy" condition: I lost my brakes on the way to class (or never had them), and the handle bars were wobbly. Green Bicycle Depot was nearby so we decided to rent from them. The owner was terrific. I told him I needed nothing fancy as the bike would be parked during classes, but he unwrapped a beautiful, new beach bike. I was worried about it being scratched . "No problem," he said. "Things happen." He went on to explain that he bought better quality bikes so that customers didnt experience quality problems, and that he changes them out every 8 months to avoid problems that arise at inopportune times from normal wear and tear. I loved the bike. I loved the price. I loved the service. While we were talking, he quietly tweeked the loaner hotel bike to make it safer!! I loved the owner. Obviously, he needs to make a living, but he does it doing something he loves and wants his customers to love, too. (He even offered to inconvenience himself to accommodate us in a particular issue, but I felt that was asking too much.) Its totally worth someones time to check this place out!! The owner and staff are very friendly, and they truly want your experience to be hassle-free and enjoyable!

Great shop! I host international students each year, and always bring them here, but I think he does the same thing for everyone! Reasons for my 5 star review: Excellent prices. He is currently not doing rentals, but his "sales" compete quite favorably with "rentals" if for 3 months or more. Honest and reliable. Trustworthy. High quality. He does what he says. He also does repairs on bikes not his, and his rates are excellent. Could not ask for better. I read the two reviews that were less than 5, and I am sorry about that, but cannot figure how that could have happened. The owner is amazing.

Nelson is amazing!! I took a tumble on my bike a year ago and havent ridden it since. I brought it in to Nelson as a trade in, which he gave me a very reasonable price for, but more than that he found me a bike that "fit" me. I never knew there was a difference. He put me on a bike that I absolutely fell in love with!! I cant stop riding it!! Better than that was the AMAZING deal he gave me. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks Nelson for getting me back on a bike!!

I literally bought a bike from them yesterday, have not even ridden it, and they wont let me return it. I bought a bike from Target two months ago and it has scratches on it and theyre letting me return that. I feel jipped because the bike I got was way overpriced for the quality and realized my mistake later in the day. I feel dumb going here. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

I thought that the bikes were checked thoroughly given the high price for pretty old bikes. However, bike had multiple defects, amongst others a chain that kept falling off. The store owner knew the bike was flawed when I bought it, since I coincidentally met the girl who returned this same bike a week before as she was afraid to use it.

I ride to here from Sac on occasion. Great inventory of cool older bikes and they always have that used part I need. Tube prices are the lowest Ive found anywhere which is a plus. And the customer service is very good. My go to shop.

Bought a used bike, small problem with the cassette, they replaced it under warranty, no cost, no problem. Very fast and friendly. I love my bike! Good people.

Nelson is a great guy, willing to talk shop and help you find the right bike.
