7 reviews for Wine Country Bikes
A great shoppe, staffed by very friendly, helpful people!
We arrived at the shop a little before 11am and were smilingly greeted. As another group preceding us was being prepped for their ride, I walked around a bit, admiring the art/decor, the fleet of rental bikes, and browsed the wares; Wine Country Bikes doesn't just rent bikes, but is also a proper bicycle shop selling apparel, gear, nutrition, whatnot.
After seeing off the previous group, the owner turned his attention to us, reintroduced himself, and chatted with us very conversationally about what we'd like to do for our bike tour, how intense/casual we'd wanted our cycling, what to expect, etc etc... He mapped out an excellent route for us and estimated our time from stop to stop, making key suggestions (lunch at Dry Creek General Store!) and recommendations (Quivira Wineyards).
We walked through an overview of the bikes (Trek 24-speed hybrids for us - they also have bikes for the more leisure or more intent cycler), were outfitted with helmets, bike locks, and packs (one specifically for wine bottles), and sent on our merry way...
And although we were a little late returning the bikes (5:00-ish?), they were very accommodating and understanding... (that last seven mile stretch takes longer when you've been drinking all afternoon... go figure!)
Excellent service! Fantastic experience!
Definitely coming back to do this again!

Last year, we'd parked in downtown Healdsburg and walked from tasting room to nearby tasting room. It was a fun day, and an efficient way for our party of 8 to wine the day away. But this year, our smaller group of 4 decided to tour/trek through the vineyards by bicycle. Inspiring, exhausting, altogether indelibly memorable...
Super friendly staff, cannot underscore that enough. They have a good variety of bikes, from basic comfort bikes up through high-end road racing mounts. All appear to be well maintained. Being unsure of the area from a cycling perspective, the person that helped us out suggested several routes. The shop is very clean and organized, with a good selection of apparel and accessories (including an unsurpassed inventory of bike bells). Highly recommended.
My friends and I decided to go bike riding to the wineries and Wine Country Bikes was very friendly, warm, and professional. Their shop is very clean, the staff is very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. They even suggested a good route since half the day was gone already.
Plus there's cute, friendly dogs running around in there. :)
Super friendly owner who spent the time to explain multiple bicycle routes when all we bought was a granola bar (and a map). If you're new to the area, it's a great starting point. Plus, they have a great selection of jerseys, bikes and more. I just felt guilty I didn't need more!
This is the most amazing bicycle rental shop. Ever. When my parents and brother were in town last week, they rented bikes from Wine Country Bikes for 3 consecutive days. My parents rented hybrids, and my brother rented as carbon, Trek, road bike. The people at the shop recommended routes for us, and gave us maps and cue sheets.
The physical shop is very nice. They even have art on the walls! The best part, though, is that they have showers for when you are done with the ride. The showers were clean, the towels were fluffy. They even let me and my boyfriend use the showers, even though we had our own bikes, and did not rent from them.
I would highly recommend this shop for anyone who wants to rent bikes up in Healdsburg.
This is one of the best bike shops I have ever been in. I had bought my Electra before moving to Healdsburg. The people that work there have helped me time and time again. They go way above the call of duty, and are so incredibly friendly. I have not yet rented bikes from them, but I have recommended it to others and would do so again and again.
We rented from them today. Did anyone notice the 98 degree temperature outside? It was HOT. But renting from the nice guy who made sure we got maps, helmets, water and showed us how to adjust everything was a good start. Even when we got totally lost on the way back (thanks to Brendan and Nina for rescuing us) and were late to return they were really cool about it. I would definitely do the bike winery thing again, but maybe not on such a hot day. Inner tubing and kayaking on russian river plus that great beach right near the bike place looked awesome.
