The shop also has a diverse range of the newest bikes and equipment, all in the heart of the downtown San Diego Gaslamp Quarter.

“All bikes available are priced according to rider experience. From basic to experienced we want to make sure the bike fits the customer”, said Patrick Creveling, manager of The Bike Revolution where every rental at their shop comes with a bike sized to fit your needs, a helmet, repair kit, bike lock map & guidance from their experienced team.

The team at Bike revolution has been riding the San Diego trails since they were kids. When a guest comes into the shop, they want to make sure their customers reap the benefits of all of their local knowledge and cycling expertise. They even have a special section of the shop called, “the Riders Corner” when enthusiasts can find maps, cool routes and talk to the staff or each other on great new rides, and ideas. “I’m hoping to work with some of the restaurants and coffee houses around Gaslamp too, and maybe we can serve coffee from Mattarello or Spill the Beans, or tell guests to pick up a sandwich at HUB Market before you go on your ride? Finding ways to cross promote with our neighbors is always fun!” said Creveling. Whether guests want to hit the trails quickly and be back for happy hour or disappear into the mountainous ether of a sunset over the Pacific, The Bike Revolution team has you covered.

The Bike Revolution staff guarantees that the bike they suit you up with will withstand the journey ahead. They stock only the latest mountain, commuter, road, tandem and kids’ bikes including Thule bike racks and kid trailers! “Our clients love this because our used bike shop is packed to the gills with the latest models, so you are able to try out a bike and maybe even purchase it for your enjoyment.” Said Creveling.

Want to get wheels spinning but in a time crunch? The Bike Revolution can deliver bike rentals to your home, hotel, or vacation rental too.
