King Kog

They’re always super nice and accommodating here, not just trying to get sales, they see you as a you

Incredible nice people and they did AMAZING work on my bike!!! I swear, my bike was a ratty piece of crap when I brought it in for a tune up. They finished the tune up and re-​wrapped my handlebars in less than 24 hours.
When I rode away after leaving the shop, I gasped audibly because of how different my bike felt. Seriously, it was as if I just rode out of the store with a brand new spanking bike.
SHOUT OUT to Sean for staying late to get the job done, being super friendly, and for restoring my bike from the dead for such an inexpensive price. THANK YOU!!!

I am not a bike aficionado. Nor do I have deep pockets. I bought my current bike off a guy willing to sell it for $ 80 to make room in his garage. That being said, it is my main mode of transportation, and I didn’t realize how much it mattered to me until it started breaking down. When I walked in to King Kog to ask about a tune up, it was with all the wariness of someone ready to be ripped-​off. Three days later, I came to retrieve my bike, and I can honestly say it doesn’t feel like the same machine. I paid exactly the price they told me I would pay. It was neither cheap, nor exorbitant, and it was definitely worth the money and a five star rating. Thanks, guys!

My friend needed some help setting up his bike after a year of inactivity. The guy here was so friendly and so helpful. It was really refreshing to walk into a bike shop without worrying about shade being thrown your way.
Great location, great service, and a fair price. I now have a home bike shop in downtown Oakland.

I had a cable bust out of some split housing, and brought my beater bike in. The mechanic was done the same day, and tuned up my rear brake too! Helpful and genuinely friendly people. Quick and competent repairs. Good selection of merch. Everything I need in a bike shop. I think I just found a new fave. :)

In a town full of bike shops, this shop gets top stars!
Did some work again on my bike the other day and needed some professional fine tuning. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and within 10 my bike was up on the stand, adjusted and back in my hands all for $ 10, (yes in Oakland that’s a deal for labor). What’s better the adjustment was perfect.
I’ll be back!
Props!

Good people offering good service. They know their stuff. We are lucky to have them in the neighborhood!!!

Best, most affordable and honest bike shop in Oakland. I highly recommend them from fixing a flat to tuning or any bicycle maintenance issue. They are courteous, fast, efficient and solid through and through.

I love King Kog. These are some of the kindest people around. They are extremely knowledgeable and are always willing to help me with issues I have with my bikes. I recently bought the most reasonably priced new bike in town from them. Always, I enter king kog to very friendly, knowledgeable, and open people who are always willing to help. Three cheers!!!

Shawn and the folks at King Kog are as solid as the steel holding together the beautiful bicycle frames that adorn the shop. I recently purchased a new road bike from KK and he composed one of the most beautiful bicycles I could ever have the pleasure of riding. I have an affinity for lugged Italian steel frames (which are hard to come by, and are usually in the $ 1k range when new) and King Kog had just the frame for me, along with a nice selection of other bike frames and parts. It’s a pretty small shop but they can order just about anything in.
I especially appreciated that Shawn didn’t try to convince me to buy top-​of-​the line *cough*campychorus*cough* when I was deciding how to build the new road bike.
I originally paid a visit to King Kog’s flagship store in Brooklyn and Oakland is lucky to have this wonderful new addition to the city, as Oakland is getting a much-​needed taste of Brooklyn authenticity and talent. Long live King Kog Oakland!

I love this shop. The guy who helped me the times I’ve been there is super knowledgable and the prices are fair for the service you get.

Took my bike in for a much needed tune-​up and new tires. They had it out in a day and I felt like I was riding a new bike. Very thorough work: they had trued the wheels, adjusted the brakes, made all my gears work, tightened up all the loose parts, put on the new tires — in short, converting my death trap of a bike into a solid vehicle. Fair prices too.

the best kind of bike shop. no upsells. smart people who know what they’re doing. fast. no frills. no BS.

Aight, I was in and out in just 5 minutes, no bullshit, no waiting.
Plus he already had the assembled wheel (wheel, tube and tire), which I was looking for and couldn’t find anywhere else. Plus price was fair too
Sean quickly replaced the part I wanted, tightened the handle, filled air in the tubes, told me about the locks that would be good and took the payment in 5 minutes.
One cool things was that they have this payment system where the receipt can be send to you via text. I like it.

I had some unfortunate things happen with my bike, where missing parts made it impossible to ride (theft). To add to that I also had a lock that was busted, and feared if that if I didn’t get my bike from where it was I would even have less. I called a few bike shops looking for assistance and tools, and this was the only place that did not give me a lecture about where I parked my bike. Additionally, they gave me suggestions in how to free my bike which was way more than other bike shopped I called previously did.
Once my bike was free, I took it there immediately. I think it was the owner who was working and he was super friendly and helped me get my bike up running and even better than it was before things went missing. I was also a little nervous about the price too, but the price was fair and he went out of his way to fix some other issues when he didn’t have to.
This will be my new bike store as long I live in Oakland. No bike attitude, just cool people who answer your questions and know there stuff.

Had to true four wheels so came into this shop. It was done in about 2.5 hours and was only $ 45. My wheels weren’t that out of shape, but I was still really pleased with the fast, super friendly service. Will definitely come back and really cool shop!

friendly.
nice, comfortable shop.
I really appreciated the demeanor of the two separate employees I came into contact with.
they listened to my inquiries and expectations and didn’t up-​sell or give snooty bike attitude like some shops can/​do.
my bike was ready when they said it would be and it looks and rides beautifully.
very cool.
I’m totally a fan.
