Book an Appointment - Test rides, Consultations

Location

Our shop, Cycle & Coffee, is located at 4013 Leary Wy NW, Seattle, WA 98107 in Fremont, near Ballard.

We are located right off the Burke-Gilman bike trail for easy test rides. 

We have parking but recommend taking the bus if you think you might want to ride your new bike home. We're very close to stops for the 40 and the 28.

Hours

We're open 6am-2pm on weekdays, and 7am-2pm on weekends. 

Bike Customization Consultation

Whether you have a bike already or you're buying a bike or frameset from us, you will likely want to customize it to suit your exact needs! We'll help you with a variety of customizations such as:

• Getting your helmet, lock, lights and bell setup for safety and security
• Adjusting the handlebars, stem, saddle, or grips for comfortable riding
  
• Swapping out tires to suit the terrain you'll be riding on
• Getting up fenders, racks, baskets and bike bags for commuting or touring

If you're booking a customization appointment, please share what bike you want to customize, and what kinds of customizations you're looking for, so we can come prepared with some ideas. 

Please note: we are currently closed for bike maintenance, and do not work on e-bikes or full suspension mountain bikes.

We are shifting our focus as a shop to align with our passion for restoring and customizing vintage bikes, and doing custom builds for folks getting into using bikes as transportation for commuting, bike touring and bikepacking.

Due to this shift and our limited space and labor capacity, we are not taking appointments or walk-ins for bike maintenance. If you happen to come by while Chris is in the shop (Fridays through Mondays 7am-2pm) for something urgent such as a flat tire on your way to work, he may be able to help you. For service beyond that, we'll direct you to another local bike shop. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Test Ride Appointments

If you're local to Seattle and shopping for a bike, we recommend booking a test ride to make sure your bike fits you and feels like what you want. Appointments must be scheduled at least a week in advance to ensure we have time to get the bike ready for you. If it happens to be ready sooner we can let you know!

Can I test more than one bike?

Yes, but please limit yourself to 2 bikes listed on our website to start off, and we can discuss further options from there if needed.

Why do I have to wait a week+?

Because we have so many bikes for sale, and most of them are used or older stock, we go through every bike before a test ride to make sure it's ready to ride. This can be anything from a safety check and putting on pedals, to a full tune-up, depending on the bike (the condition is usually mentioned in the bike's description).

Unless a bike has just recently been test ridden by someone else, a week is a quick turnaround for us to get you on a fully functional, affordable bike of your choice with a 30-day mechanical guarantee. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Bike Shopping Consultation

If you're not sure where to begin with bike shopping, we can help. Tell us a bit of information about yourself and what you're looking for (height, budget, type of riding, any known preferences), and we can put together some options to discuss with you.

We generally keep a well curated collection of vintage bikes on hand to restore and customize, but we can also order new complete bikes or frames and do custom builds.

Shopping consultations require 3 days notice to ensure we have time give your case the proper attention/advance research. 

Right now, Summer is handling all shopping consultation appointments, but if you happen to see Chris or Justin at the shop and they have a moment, they may be able to help you find a good bike too!

Reserve a bike

If you're eager to get a certain bike that you're pretty sure will fit you and want to take it off the market, you can purchase it for pickup via the product page on this website, and we can use your appointment time to pick it up, try it out and talk about customizations.
