Fat Tire Cycles - Montano

I came in from out of town to ride a demo/rental bike for the 47 mile Day Of The Tread bike ride. I reserved a medium Mondraker Dusty R e-gravel bike ahead of time. I'm riding a large e-gravel I bought in March in SoCal. I'm in the middle and can ride medium or large. I brought my own pedals and helmet. Erik and the crew set me up and even supported the ride the next day. One seat adjustment at the sag stop and the bike ride went great! I returned the bike to the new shop off Tramway and they were great to work with too. In all a really good experience with great equipment. Highly recommend a demo/rental if interested.

My husband and I had an excellent experience purchasing bikes here. They were very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we bought bikes that fit us well. Matt Kenny, the store manager, was great to work with. It was such a treat to have him fit us for the bikes and listen to our concerns, and was able to answers all our questions.

After experiencing hand numbness, when riding my MTB, on the Bosque trail, from Alameda, south, past the Biopark, I visited Fat Tire Cycles, on Montano, to inquire about a bike fit adjustment. Matt helped flip my handlebar stem post and raised by seat height, so that I had the proper knee bend. Before the adjustments, I would start to feel the numbness after about 3 miles, now I can ride for over 10 miles without any need to shake my hands. I was very impressed with my first visit and the complete lack of attempts to upsell me to anything I didn't need. It's nice to know there are still genuinely sincere bike shops willing to earn repeat customer business. Matt also provided some advice on swapping my gravel tires, with tubes, to offroad tubeless tires, to allow for riding on more diverse terrain.I'm happy their new Alameda location is now open, as it's much closer to my home and on the way to/from the Bachechi open space, where I do my Bosque trail rides.

Very nice and helpful. I came in right before closing wasn't exactly sure what I needed for my shoes. They didn't hesitate to take their time and help me. I will return.

My wife and I purchased two bikes last week at Fat Tire Cycles. Initially thought about going to Costco to look for bikes. Wife said, let's support something local and Googled local bicycle shops in our area, top of the list was Fat Tire.We were greeted immediately after walking in by Matt, and told him what we were looking for. Inside of 30 minutes we were purchasing two new bicycles. He recommended riding them for a week and bring him back in for adjustments if needed. Did that today and are so impressed with the service provided by Matt and the entire team in the shop. When n the market for a bicycle, we highly recommend Fat Tire on Montano next to Trifecta Coffee. Support local. Eric and Matt!!

I dedicated more than thirty minutes to rectify a loose brake issue on my disabled spouse's 3-wheel walker. Visiting Fat Tire Cycles on Montaño, I encountered Mike engrossed in bicycle repairs. Describing my predicament, he promptly assessed and fixed the loose brake handle, exhibiting courtesy and a genuine eagerness to assist. I also conversed with the store manager, Matt, who showcased an electric bike that piqued my interest. The impressive selection of essential bicycle parts and stellar service at Fat Tire Cycles ensures I'll be a loyal customer.

Awesome people at this local spot. They completely went out of their way checking inventory for me and patiently educating this novice on bike care as I picked out a gift for my husbands Birthday. Thanks guys for making me feel confident in this gift and how to use all the goodies. I know he will LoVE it!

I have been going to Fat Tire for many years, usually to have some very hard to install tires put on my wheelchair. I recently brought my handcycle there to have an issue with my front fork, wheel and tire sorted out. Eric the owner, personally showed me the issues that were causing the problem and rather than having me leave my bike for a couple of days, which I had expected, he had Mike (big Mike!) the mechanic, do the repairs right on the spot, not only saving me another trip to the shop but allowing me to be back out cycling the next day! Also, they had a replacement tire in stock, an unusual size that most shops would not have, and everything was done at an extremely reasonable cost, less than I had expected. Both Eric and Mike were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and the service was top notch! As in the past Fat Tire has never disappointed me!

I had a minor issue with my road bike brakes, they knew exactly what to do, and fixed it on the spot. Great service!!!

Fat Tire and Matt - really knowledgeable, friendly, good advice, and super timely service. A great bike shop!
