In 1983, when we opened the doors to Elliott Bay Bicycles, we were driven by a single mission – to help Seattle cyclists find the best bikes and experiences they could possibly have while riding. Over time, this local bike shop grew to become the go-to place for area cyclists who wanted top-quality bikes, high-quality repairs and personal service built around a genuine enthusiasm for cycling.
To put it simply — whether you’re commuting to work in downtown Seattle; exploring some of the many beautiful trails along the city’s waterfront; or planning a trip across the country, we believe there’s just the right bike out there for you. The right bike will turn all of your trips into memories.
We understand that no two riders are alike. This is why we ask questions about how you plan to use your bike, what type of terrain you’ll be riding on, and what kind of experience you’ve had with biking so far. And then we get down to business — finding a bike or offering the service you need.
Each and every bike we sell includes the finest parts available. Every repair we perform is done with precision. And every fitting we do ensures that your new bike fits perfectly.
For decades now, Elliott Bay Bicycles has celebrated the artisanal craft of building bikes by hand. To us, a well-made bicycle is more than just a tool – it’s an investment in years of enjoyment. That’s why we stand behind each and every custom build, repair and tune-up with a focus on excellence and outstanding customer service.
Seattle is known for having a thriving cycling community. For years, we’ve taken pride in being able to contribute to that community by providing excellent assistance, reliable service and great bikes that can withstand the rigors of riding through the region.
As a result of our focus on serving a wide variety of riders including commuters, family riders, recreational riders and competition-level athletes (just to name a few), we’ve created strong bonds between our staff and our customers based on mutual respect, honesty and a deep connection to cycling.
When you bring your bike into our shop, regardless of where it came from, you receive the same amount of care and consideration as if we were working on our own. At Elliott Bay Bicycles, we believe in providing transparent service, making honest recommendations and doing our best to educate you so you can make the most informed choice regarding which products will meet your specific needs as a cyclist.
Whether you’re purchasing your first bike or replacing your old favorite, our ultimate objective is to create an experience that leaves you looking forward to your next ride.
The story of Elliott Bay Bicycles is one of tradition, craftsmanship and community. Our legacy celebrates those core values that have made us a trusted name in Seattle’s cycling community — superior service, high-end bicycles and a true love for the cycling lifestyle.
And today, we continue to draw inspiration from the idea that every ride should be an opportunity to discover something new, connect with others and appreciate the freedom provided by a bike.
At Elliott Bay Bicycles, we feel proud of both the relationships we’ve formed with our customers over the years and all of the journeys we’ve helped create. If you are looking for knowledgeable advice, experienced service or a custom-built bike designed specifically to meet your performance goals, we look forward to assisting you to confidently enjoy each mile of your next ride.
