Hello Bicycle

I bought a Stryder bike for my 2 year old and after only two weeks the handlebar split in two. I brought it in expecting to drop it off to be fixed but the employee just exchanged the whole bike. No questions asked. That was a relief because my boy loves his bike and we avoided the agony of being without it for a few days.(he rides it everyday and parks it next to his bed). Friendly staff with great service. Thank you!

Sam and Cory were the best! Nice, friendly, fun and helpful. They answered all of my newbie bike questions with patience and skill and Sam showed me how to change my tire, step by step! I would give them a 6 out of 5 if I could. I walked out with a bike good to go and the knowledge of what I needed to do to maintain my bike. They even gave me advice about my commute route from Beacon Hill to Downtown.

I’m so happy to have Hello Bicycle in the neighborhood. I’ve had a lot of maintenance done on my bike here — they’ve always done a great work and answered all of my questions.

Super friendly and down to earth customer service. I was looking for a new bike shop because the one in my neighborhood is pretentious. I was just going in for something small, but I got a good first impression.

The only annoyance that experience is fiddling with their old door to bring my bike inside. Otherwise, this is a magic house of bike wizardry that amazes me every time I walk inside! Great place to pick up on bike wizardry if you have any questions about anything. Hello Bicycle got me into bicycling for good the moment they lended a bike to me just to try it

This bike shop gets a 5 out of 5 in my book because they have amazing customer service and work hard to help out their customers. I came in with a Shimano 105 shifter that broke and they worked on it for awhile and called Shimano twice to get them to cover it under warranty. Without them advocating for me to Shimano I would have had to spend 150 dollars on a replacement part. Again this place deserves top ratings and have gained my loyalty as my go to LBS.

Hello Bicycle delivers Great service, has friendly staff and overall makes a very positive contribution to Beacon Hill. Sam and crew have been super helpful with several repairs/​mods to my ride over the past few months. Plus they always play good soul music — Definitely my go to bike Doc!

I ended up bringing a bike in here for a tune up after a getting a tune up quote of 300.00+ dollars from a bike shop in white center. Hello bike folks were super helpful and not pretentious. Did the tune up for around 80. I would definitely go back.

Why can’t I get these guys to be nice to me! I had read all these reviews and I was so excited to stop in and then… nothing.
I’ve tried twice. Both times I’ve come in and said Hello, I am a bike novice. Please help. …And then I asked what they must have thought were inane questions (granted, they probably were [note the aforementioned novice-​ness]). I say this because there were long pauses after my questions in which they stared at me blankly, followed by a very short reply that echoed faintly of «duh.» I felt foolish and couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Three stars because they weren’t outright rude or anything.
Ok, I’m steeling myself to try again someday soon because these other reviews are so stellar and I want that out of my local bike shop!

They tried to charge us 12 $ for air. Just kidding. The owners have a great sense of humor. On a more serious note, their service is great and for a reasonable price. If you’re in the neighborhood and you need something or just want to ask a question, you should check this place out.

Awesome service! Stopped by randomly to get the front wheel off my bike so I could drive it home, and the bike guy didn’t hesitate to help. Very appreciative!

My girlfriend and i had a bike emergency the other day and needed a pedal fixed. The two guys working were extremely friendly, found the most inexpensive way to fix the bike, and completed the work right then in front of us. I highly recommend this place. Furthermore, they were extremely focused on detail contrary to one review i read. Not only did they fix the pedal, but they also checked the other pedal for issues and conducted some minor preventative maintenance.

Hello bicycle is everything you want in bicycle shop. The staff are friendly, the service is fantastic, and you walk away with a better appreciation for bikes, and humanity. Of course, their selection could be larger, but the store is small. I wouldn’t trade a larger selection for the shop to change at all.
They are very flexible in getting my bike back to me as fast as possible, because they understand how much some people like to ride.

how the heck have i not reviewed this place already??? i better get on my Unilocal game, shoot. i been coming here for a few years now. a bunch of my buds have had custom bikes created here so i felt more than comfortable bringin’ my regular old trek through for service. they are a tiny space so they have to choose their products wisely, they only carry a handful of quality options for whatever you might be looking for. they’ll also be happy to order stuff for you too as their storage is limited for stock on hand. service is where they really shine, tho. super friendly, really knowledgeable, extremely patient. they look like they love what they’re doing and love the neighborhood they’re in. i’m born and raised on beacon hill but live on the east side now. i still trek my bike (no pun) here to have them service it. support your (old) neighborhood.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys! This place is great. Prices are good. They make it clear they’re in the bike business because they LOVE biclycling and they love taking care of the bicycling community. They don’t look down on newbies, have the experience for the experts and are Super great guys in general. This is by far my LBS for life!

I have been going to Hello Bicycle since it opened in 2008 so this long over due. Seattle is full of good bike shops, I have been to all of them, but… HELLO Bicycle is my absolute favorite. They are incredibly knowledgeable about all styles of bicycles. I have a couple mt bikes, a road bike and an adventure touring bike and do all of the day to day maintenance on them myself but I take them all to HELLO for everything else. I have taken a bike in there countless times and Sam or one of his well qualified mechanics will drop what they are doing and help me out. They are very reasonably priced to boot! So support a great small business and get great service in return… GO TO HELLO BICYCLE!!!

Sam is an awesome mechanic & he has saved me during my bad luck with flat tires. Love him & the staff!!! Best tuneups, too. Reynaldo is fantastic at showing how to change a flat without a rim tool. Who knew?

Hello Bicycle is a community oriented shop that is nowhere of the corporate flavor nor the ghetto slap together so called business either. The staff are beyond amazingly friendly and usually will bend backwards for you on special requests such as ordering high end parts of a road bike such as a Litespeed Siena.
I usually do the arrogant move of name dropping a few parts and technical terms to see how well they know their parts and I can’t call BS on them. And it is appreciative the staff does recommend other bicycle shops that specialize in things they might do better on such as working on gravity or freeride mountain bikes.
The store merchandise hold no promise of finding FSA SLK cranks or Rolf Élan rims but it guarantees that it will always do its best and that’s not too shabby.

Hello Bicycle is my favorite bike shop in the area, and a HUGE resource for Beacon Hill! Sam and Miki will fix your bike up quickly and inexpensively.
They just became a Kona dealer and became a Specialized merch dealer for 2012.
I picked up a Jamis mountain bike up for the missus this year as well.
Check ‘em out!

Again, I experienced great service and great prices on a repair.
BTW Hello Bicycle has grown and is much more organized since my earlier review.
Time to get your bicycle tuned up folks!
