Calistoga Bikeshop

How do you know a shop is awesome if you don’t have a problem? I picked up an E-bike to do the Oat Hill trail and had an issue with the motor 3mi up the trail, then a flat while I was trying to get back to the shop. I called the shop and Marshall jumped on another e-bike and rode 3mi uphill to swap out my bike and get me moving again. Incredible service that save my ride and my day! I returned my bike after an awesome ride and dropped off a 12-pack for Marshall, Jim & Dave. Those guys made for an awesome day on 2-wheels!

I had a one day rental from Calistoga Bikeshop this past weekend. Ahead of my trip Rob contacted me for measurements so the bike fit perfectly. Once fitted with my pedals; the Cervelo was a wonderful bike. The pick up and drop off were seamless as was the communication. This will be my go-to bike shop when I require a rental in the area. Thank you !

My guide was a congenial chap named Trace Denna, a special education therapist who works with autistic children and who, on the side, does endurance cycling events (the kind that are way above my pay grade). We proceeded southeast from Calistoga along the valley floor, riding a well-built bike path all the way to Oakville. The day was pleasant, with minimal wind and temperatures in the low 70’s. After stopping at the Oakville Grocery for a water bottle refill and a pastry, I soon found out how we were going to grab the desired elevation in an otherwise flat area. Turning off of the highway, we ascended the Oakville Grade, a popular hill training route with a gain of 700 feet and an average grade exceeding 10 percent. Trace repeatedly reminded me that it was ok to turn around at any time, but I was too stubborn to give in. Reaching the top proved to be hugely satisfying while the subsequent descent was somewhere between exhilarating and terrifying. By the time we returned to the valley floor, the temperature was well into the high 80’s. We continued to Yountville before crossing to the Silverado Trail, then turned back toward Calistoga. Silverado Trail skirts the hills that define the east side of the valley, resulting in a pleasant succession of rollers that provided variety and pleasant views of the seemingly endless vineyards laden with grapes nearly ready for harvest and the distant tan hills dotted with dark green oak trees. We arrived at the bike shop not quite four hours after we departed, just as the temperature cracked 95 F. Trace was an excellent guide – he could have hammered me into the ground, but you never would have known it. My legs felt good the whole time. It was a very good day.

Staying at Solage turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Since no bikes were available on-site (and honestly, the Solage bikes aren’t great), we were “forced” to book with Calistoga Bike Shop — and I’m so glad we did. From the start, Brad and Rob were enthusiastic, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their business is extremely customer-focused, and the bikes themselves are A+ quality. My family and friends rented six bikes, and the curated trail routes and recommendations made our day unforgettable. A huge thank-you to Brad (the owner), Rob, and the rest of the friendly and helpful team. If you’re staying in Calistoga and want your family to have a true A+ experience, skip the hotel bikes and rent from Calistoga Bike Shop. Who am I? This is coming from someone who doesn’t hand out 5-star reviews lightly. I’ve traveled to Calistoga more than five times, and I can promise you’ll love their curated bike experience.

Wife & I have been searching for a specific Specialized size small e-bike for her. Calistoga Bike Shop happened to have just the one in stock. So we took the 1.5 hour drive to have a look. Marshall took the lead on our sales experience, but he and the entire staff did the absolute best job of setting up my wife’s bike along with all of the pink & purple accessories she desired. They literally spent most of Saturday letting us try different options & setups, before dialing & installing everything exactly how she wanted it. No over sell, no pushy sales. They even did a quick tune up on my bike I happen to have along for the ride at no extra cost. Excellent shop, couldn’t recommend more.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Calistoga Bike Shop. From start to finish, their professionalism and communication were second to none. I rented a Specialized Tarmac for my ride, and the bike was in pristine condition—tuned perfectly and ready to deliver an exceptional performance. The real standout, however, was Rob. Not only did he make the rental process seamless, but his positive outreach ensured I had everything I needed, when I needed it, regardless of the somewhat limited store hours. If you’re in the Calistoga area and looking for top-tier bikes and even better service, Calistoga Bike Shop is the place to go.

We were given the best suggestions on where to go! The attendant was detailed and attentive. The bikes were in great condition and price included helmet lock and satchel. Excellent experience! .

Visited from out of town. We packed our bikes and flew with them. When we unpacked them, one of the bikes wasn't shifting. Glad we found this local shop. We dropped it off, it was diagnosed and fixed within 2 hours, and we were ready to roll again. Fast and easy. And awesome bike selection.
