History

Established in 1953.

Walt’s Cycle is a bike shop and bicycle dealer serving Sunnyvale, California and the South San Francisco Bay Area since 1953. We have seen several generations that we have watched grow up. They bring their children in for their first bike and marvel that the store is just as they remembered when they got their first bike. Unlike other bicycle stores, we try to establish relationships with our customers and their families.

Although we always try to give 100% customer service, we maintain a friendly atmosphere, with knowledgeable staff and mechanics.

Business Owner

Jim has been in the biking business since he was a small boy. At 9 years old, he began sweeping floors and dusting bicycles for the cool hourly rate of $ 0.50. What started as sweeping floors, soon led to assembling tricycles, to big time mechanics.

At 20, he began his successful career as a whole sale representative for 13 years with Nishiki Bicycles. After, Jim worked for Schwinn bicycles as a district representative for another successful career of 16 years.

In 1989, Jim became owner of Walt’s Cycle until 2006. He retired from 2006 to July of 2008, but came back as owner again to save Walt’s Cycle from going under. Since then, Jim has tried to gain back customers trust into Walt’s Cycle but hiring new faces that knows customer service.
