I seriously love Ride On Again Bikes.
Not only did I score a sweet vintage 1969 Raleigh bicycle for a very fair price (and rattan collapsible basket as well!), but the shop also loaned me a lock to use without even asking! All second-hand bikes receive a tune-up and safety inspection before they are available to the public so you feel safe putting tire to pavement straight out of the shop.
It is clear that the staff are passionate about cycling - not in the elitist way of some bike shops though. They're passionate about getting "ordinary" folks like me on a bike and on the streets.
I highly recommend Ride On Again Bikes to someone looking to get a reliable second-hand bike at a decent price. The great customer service is just gravy. -

These guys are good. They know what they are doing, knowledgeable, provide a fair deal not only with sales but with service as well.
On their other side of the business, Don has a bicycle recycling business to donate to charitable areas of town that need bikes the most. Instead of throwing that old bike in the bin, come here first. -

Probably one of the best business cards I have seen in a while.
Hint... "chaffing"
Over the years I have bought three bikes off these guys, unfortunately two of them were stolen in lovely Vancouver. But my latest is still in my possession and runs pretty smoothly.
However, it was in need of a little spring tune-up, so I took it in yesterday.
$45 and less than a day turnaround and it is looking like new.
The price seemed a bit high, but I don't care. I know they took good care of my ride.
The staff are still pretty chill, and know what they are doing.
Great sales on bikes right now too.
See you on the seawall. -

Just wanted to do an update since it's been a couple of years and I'm on to my second attempt at biking in Vancouver. I got a bike from a friend, and came here for all the servicing and upgrades. My (new to me) bike went from disgustingly black dust, gears seizing up every few steps, and scaring people on the sidewalk by popping a tire while sounding like a shotgun, to riding all over Vancouver from Pacific Spirit Park to Jericho looking a little more pimp. I trust every one of the staff here because they know wayyyy too much about bikes and have never let me down.

The young girl that helped me and my girlfriend was extremely helpful. She found a bike which my gf loved right away.. below her price range (she didn't even try to upsell us).. my girlfriend then went on to buy a helmet, basket and new seat. She threw in a free light and gave her a very generous discount on everything else. They tuned the bike within the hour.. Having experienced snobby know it all attitude in a lot of other shops this place was a breath of fresh air.

A misaligned back wheel was misdiagnosed as a bent frame. It turned out to be a bent axle. Only found that out halfway through replacing the frame. The owner was condescending to the point of insult. Won't be back!

these guys are rad. lots of help; no pressure sales on new bikes over used, affordable options.
they helped me customize my single speed with used parts and really kept the price down.
the dude with the big curly red hair was awesome. these guys aren't snooty bike rats. -

This store gets lots of points for their efforts at refurbishing and recycling donated bikes and then selling them as "cheap student bikes". So, they have a pretty nifty selection of different types of bikes that you can pick up for a reasonable cost, and the service here is pretty good too. Don't forget your helmet!
