Joshua Tree Bicycle Shop

Recently just took my performance Bianchi road bike to JTB for a tune up prior to participating in the Tour de Big Bear a few weeks ago. I couldn’t be more pleased with the attentive, friendly, knowledgeable service. Usually, I take my bike to get serviced by a local bike shop that has just been named #1 bike shop in San Diego and I feel JTB’s service is in par with them. The bike has never ridden better too. I have also taken my performance full suspension mountain bike which they tuned up and fixed a pesky rear derailer problem too. They also can tell you a lot about road and mountain bike routes in the local area. Highly recommended.

This place is great. The owner is incredibly knowledgable about not only bikes but the area (he’s a Joshua Tree native) and is more than happy to give advice about paths and places to go or anything you need, free of charge of course. Go here!

I thought I was totally done when my bike was messed up right at the start of our week-​long stay in Joshua Tree while on a road trip. JT Bicycle Shop not only helped me out, they stayed late to fix my bike. Mike’s a wizard. The owner, Jima, also pointed out local single track riding and gave us some great tips on where to ride in the park as well.
So nice to find a down-​to-​earth and well managed bike shop in such a small town. These guys are doing it right and I’d trust them with my bikes any day, which is not something I say about any shop!
Keep up the great work.

I am a local and I really like this shop. I have purchased many items for the roady and the MTB there and I keep finding the prices are as good or better than I can get online. They have a good supply of necessary items like tubes, tires, lights, etc but if they don’t have it they can probably get it. This is a small shop so they order once a week so I just don’t get in a hurry. My grandson loves his new Redline BMX bike.
I ride quite a bit and like the fact that the owner is an avid rider as well and gets out with a lot of people. The service guy, Mike, is incredible with a wrench and knows his way around bikes. He is a trustworthy man if you need some help. If you need some info on local rides, call Jima at the Joshua Tree Bicycle Shop.

This place has given me awesome service. They have even fixed my kids scooters.

Just came back from a 4 day biking/​backpacking trip in Joshua Tree. On the way down there from San Francisco (presumably when we stopped to eat at night) somebody tried to steal my bike off the back off the vehicle and managed to f*%k my rim up and tweak my rear breaks. I didn’t even notice it until we got into Joshua Tree. I figured I was screwed because JT, 29 Palms, and Yucca Valley never have a real bike shop and you have to drive all the way down to Palm Springs. But we found out by asking somebody at Coyote Corner that there is one now! So I headed over and much to my delight found that it was true. It’s a little off the beaten path (it’s back behind the post office on the left) but still downtown.
Besides the fact that they fixed the bike up no problem at all, the owner of the place Jima was awesome. He has a ridiculous amount of knowledge of trails (on and off the map) in Joshua Tree National Park and even suggested an awesome place for us to camp out (Pushawalla Canyon near some awesome old mining sights). He had a map in there so he could show us right where it is. Bike problem solved, destination idea taken. Backpacking was amazing, biking was beautiful, and three days later on the way out of town met back up with Jima and we went on a mountain bike trail ride in Yucca Valley (in the Yucca Mesa section). Which was super rad in it’s own right, plus you could see Pioneer Town. This place was awesome.
Plus he said a few months down the line he’s going to try and get a bike rental program setup, which after the 3^rd time I’ve had something shitty happen to my bike either in transit to Joshua Tree or in Joshua Tree, I might just leave mine at hope and rent from there. 4 stars

I really wanted to like this place, mainly because it is the only option for serious bicycles in the High Desert. I walked into a disorganized garage with a few bikes in it and found a group of people talking; I can only assume the ones behind the counter worked there, because I received no other indication.
I walked around this store with my wife and daughter for about five minutes and nobody said a word to us. I saw at least one employee (I think he was an employee) look right at me and not even recognize my existence. We looked at the bikes they had on display, occasionally looking over at the small mass of people who continued about their business as though we never walked in. We walked out, still without a word uttered in our direction.
The only reason I gave a generous second star is that they had a bike I might have wanted to buy, at a reasonable price. They obviously didn’t want to sell it to me that badly. I’m going to have to drive down to Palm Springs to do my bike shopping, but that’s better than going back to this place. If you like to feel like a valued customer, this store is not for you.
