The Bike Connection

Welcome to The Bike Connection, a leading destination for cyclists nestled in the vibrant heart of San Francisco, California. For us Californians, especially those navigating the unique terrain of the Bay Area, cycling is more than just a hobby – it's a lifestyle, a mode of transport, and a way to embrace our stunning outdoor environment. Whether you're commuting across the Golden Gate Bridge, tackling the challenging hills of Marin, or enjoying a leisurely ride through Golden Gate Park, having a reliable and perfectly-serviced bicycle is paramount. The Bike Connection is not just another bike shop; it's a cornerstone of the local cycling community, celebrated for its exceptional sales, comprehensive repair services, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. We understand the diverse needs of California cyclists, from those seeking a supercalifragilistic deal on a new ride to seasoned enthusiasts needing precise repairs and honest advice.

Our philosophy at The Bike Connection is built on trust, expertise, and a deep-seated passion for cycling. We believe in going the extra mile to ensure every customer, whether they're new to cycling or a long-time enthusiast, feels valued and fully supported. As one thrilled customer recounted, "Supercalifragilistic Deal... Excellent sale prices especially if you use large sizes... Just like with shoes! Product was perfect already assembled... Delivered by Van.. free within a 50 mi radius! Show rooms are fun... But it beats loading it onto your car! If you know what you like-you can check out on PayPal with a payment plan no interest-and they will deliver it for free within a week to your DRIVEWAY! Beats anything on eBay where you have to assemble it... And if you're going to have it delivered, save yourself a trip to the store! Especially if you're on the other side of the Bay from San Francisco. And then the first service is free in 11 months!"
