8 reviews for Outback Bikes
These guys really know what they are talking about and truly want to help you find the bike that is right for you. I recently bought a bicycle from Outback and couldn't ask for better service.
I went in completely clueless about what I wanted and I left with the perfect bicycle. Granted, I didn't just walk in and 15 minutes later have purchased a bike. The guy who helped me out (man, I wish I could remember his name) really took the time to find me the perfect bike. And that indeed took some time. I'm really short and the shop had to build smaller bikes and eventually special order the right size. I paid a little bit more than I wanted, but I'm totally glad I did. I want this to last me a while! The most amazing part, free maintenance on the bike. Forever!!! That's a huge plus for me, since I totally anticipate running into a tree or parked car.
But they have an enormous selection of bikes for every different type of rider, plus all the accessories and a repair shop. Oh, and go during the week if you can. They have more bikes built and more time to spend with you finding a bike.
Now only if it wasn't 90+ degrees outside, I'd be set!
Last year, I decided I wanted to buy a bicycle. At the time, I hadn't been on a bike for well over a decade (my last bicycle was a Huffy my parents purchased from Sears when I was 12), so I walked into the store knowing absolutely nothing about what I wanted to buy. The staff at Outback humored me by answering my silly questions and then helping me choose a bike to fit my height and riding needs; I even test rode several before making a decision... I was there pretty much all afternoon, and nobody lost their patience. I will admit I did have a little bit of sticker shock, because I was not previously aware that bicycles could cost more than what I pay monthly for rent. However, I do feel that some things are worth an investment, and a bike is one of them!
I am forever in debt to Amber and Outback Bikes. I had a beach cruiser that needed to become "ride-able" again, and they did a great job, had great advice and made me very happy as I actually RODE away from the shop. If you have bike issues, questions, maintenance or are like me and have no idea what to do with your bike besides ride it, this is the place for you.
I have a shiny pink beach cruiser that I adore, but with 26-inch tires and tons of treads it was impossible to get the bike up any hill, no matter how tiny. I was about to chalk it up to Craigslist and buy a city bike, but then thought "what the hell?" I'll see if Outback can help me. After borrowing a friend's larger car to transport the thing (yes, cruisers are huge and heavy), I wheeled into Outback and Amber had the solution to get new tires with smaller treads and even grease the chain and kickstand so they would work better. After an hour, my bike was literally riding again and I couldn't be more grateful or happy.
Watch out for me cruising the streets of Poncey Highlands--I dont have a helmet yet--I'll be the one with a huge smile because of Outback Bikes!
To be honest, I haven't bought a bike from Outback...but I have purchased accessories and used their repair service.
Their repair service is efficient and very competent, albeit my repair needs were very minor. But I'd certainly trust them with something more complex.
Also, I like their selection of bikes and imagine that when I go shopping for a new one, I'll go there first.
If you want to be a cool, eco-friendly biker and you don't have a clue about bikes, Outback Bikes will take care of you. I recently bought an AWESOME bike there and I'm super happy with the service I received and with my shiny new purchase.
Don't be overwhelmed by the vast selection of bikes- just find someone who works there (if they don't find you first) and tell them your budget and what you want a bike for. Then you sign a waiver and you can test out the bikes in the large parking lot next door.
Now, these aren't Walmart bikes. Expect to pay anywhere from $250-$1,000+, depending on what your biking needs are. But I don't want to be pedaling down a busy street and have the bike fall apart on me, you know? You can also get all your other biking gear and tools here. Wear helmets, people!
Best part of all - free maintenance for the lifetime of the bike! Yup, just bring it in whenever it needs a tune up. And even if you move out of state and sell the bike to someone local, they'll still honor the maintenance agreement.

This store comes equipped with a completely confident staff both in sales and mechanics. You will not get sold anything you should not have, in fact you will sometimes get talked down to ensure that your purchase is the right thing for what you want. The shop is owned and led by a man whom seams to have a strong spiritual sense that he implies in all the teams business practices. If you are a first timer, go here and get what you want and need. If your a pro at this biking thing than you will know as soon as you enter Outback, this is where its at.
Also you can rest assured that only quality products are what they carry. I am a shrude shopper who makes a practice of only supporting good people and will send everyone here!!!
Don't trust your wheels to some putz trying to sell you a flashy night light.
Outback has a whole crew of bike experts ready to fix your bike or give advice. They're the only shop in town I've been to where they seem genuinely interested in talking about biking rather than just selling you on stuff.
If you live in Atlanta and are in the market for a bike (AKA you have no fear of death by hummer) then check out the selection here. They have a sweet deal - buy a bike and have free maintenance for life.
Prices are steeper than what you'll find online, but worth it for being able to rely on what your buying and who's installing it for you.
the people that work here have a elite-ist holier than thou attitude ...
i tried to order a bike from here and they said "we may get that in" " we'll give you a call when the specialized shipments come in "
i never got a call ... i went down there and got the same story about possibly getting a Specialized Langster in ...
The staff just doesn't give a shit about helping you or ordering anything for you .. whether you have the money or not .....
i hope the owner cleans house .. and hires a staff that actually gives a fuck .. otherwise, this place can disappear for all i care ....
this bike shop royally sucks ...
you would get a bike you want quicker if you ordered it from italy and had it shipped parcel post on a camel's back .....
i hope peter wicker, owner of outback bikes, sees this and contacts me .. i will glad to express my disdain for his terrible, unhelpful, holier than thou staff !!
