This is not your local spandex wearing, time trial riding, leg shaving shop. This is a down to earth spot owned by a couple of crusty dudes who ride bikes. The folks (Garf in particular) at ZenCog are awesome, love bikes and do everything they can to allow you to share that experience. Weve all been to bike shops and dealt with bike snobs, of felt judgement when weve brought in your commuter (which may have skipped the last several maintenance periods) to the mechanics. So its refreshing to have the guys at ZenCog identify your budget and offer solutions (and possibly a beer) to your bike shop woes. I have purchased two bikes (including a frame up carbon mountain bike), purchased countless parts/tools and been pleased with the experience every time.

Unfortunately my experience wasnt so pleasant. I called ahead and asked if they could install my new brake and gear cables. I was told it would take 20-30 min and would cost $10-15. Not only did it take all day until right at closing(dropped it off at 11:30) but was told I owed them $40 for parts and labor. I brought my own cables. I was informed that they had trouble with the front gear cable and couldnt install. Um, its a bike shop. And I didnt even get my cable back. Yet was charged for some if theirs. A 9" piece was left dangling from the rear gear mechanism. It doesnt look as if the front gear was even attempted to be installed. Sadly enough I see why they in a pinch over a 6 hour period while their competitors are a month and a half behind.

The people here @ ZenCog are probably the coolest youd ever get at a Bike Shop. Always friendly and always willing to go the extra mile for you. I had a buddy that needed lights for his bike for a ride he was doing that night. Although the store was closed, they were willing to stick around long enough to sell him some lights, pretty much saving the day. That and the fact that they give great advice on bicycle selection and are always entertaining to talk to in general, make this place one that i will always support and buy from. They also usually have a good amount of used bikes so definitely check them out if youre in the market for one. Overall, amazing shop and amazing people, Thanks, Garf!

Garf, Milan, Nick, the entire crew are friendly & extremely knowledgable. Purchased a new set of handlebars & had Milan install them & wrap em in grip tape. Havent had a single issue & theyve held up great! I could spend hours inside Zencog & quite frankly, I have. This bike shop offers all sorts of bikes from fixed to road to mountain to cruisers. The selection of accessories is stocked to the brim for you to choose from to pimp out your bike & ride away feeling like a gangster. These guys are like family, its a bike thing. Ride Bikes!

Favorite shop in Riverside. Got my first "grownup" bike here in 2011, and they knew before I did what I needed. Came away with a Surly CrossCheck thats taken me all over town, commuting 20 miles round trip to work, across New England and Nova Scotia, and all over the (relatively mild) Florida mountain bike trails. Great service, great folks.

Cool shop, cool people behind the counter! Swung in yesterday, after getting a flat tire in the neighborhood. By the time I caught my breath and finished my smoothie, my bike was back on the road. Based off the authenticity of the environment and experience, it is without a doubt I will return to this store. Thanks guys!

We had bought a back bike rack from them and upon getting it home realized it wasnt going to be easy to mount given her bikes style. We brought the rack and bike to Zencog and they installed it for free while we had lunch. They even outfitted the light on the back custom. Good group of guys with no pretensions.

This is not the place to come if you want a massive selection of obscure bicycle parts and accessories. This is the place to come for great advice, professional service, basic bike parts, good conversation, and a community of bicyclists dedicated to the sport/hobby/way of life.

Garf is the man! He helped me purchase my first new road bike, a KHS Flite 450, and keep it maintained for the last few years. He is very knowledgeable about all things bikes and a huge advocate for increasing bicycle safety and awareness around town.

Took an old crusty mountain bike in that I had not ridden in a decade and asked them to tune it up, swap some parts to make it more street ready and make any repairs necessary. They did a great job and I love riding my bike again!

Mitchell Sweetz

Great shop, cool and fun owner. Looks like a road bike shop at first but he does work on and sell stuff for all bikes, knowledgeable about all kinds of bikes, including my mountain bike, great help, extremely reasonable prices!!!

Kristen Holcomb

I dont think I have stepped foot inside of that shop and not see a smile on Garfs face. Pleasurable purchase experience all the way around. Sweet local spot for all of your cycling needs.

Andrew Bilello

Stopped by for a handlebar screw and cap, wound up having it installed, chain lubed, and a quick walk around my new bike free of charge. Will be back!
