Start with a bike shop you can trust.

A local shop is a useful first stop for beginner cycling in Berkeley. You can ask questions, compare bikes and get advice about keeping a bike ready to ride.

Bring your questions.

  • What bike suits my riding plans, budget and local terrain?
  • What essential equipment do I need, including a helmet, lights and flat repair supplies?
  • What should I check before riding, and when should I book maintenance?
  • Where can I learn about local routes and beginner-friendly rides?
  • How can I prepare my bike for regular riding?

Bring a bike you already own if you want to discuss repairs or adjustments. Ask for an estimate before agreeing to work, and leave room in your budget for everyday essentials.
