Urban Bicycle Gallery

The owner is on the board of Bike Houston and also organizes several evening and weekend rambles. If you see people having fun while riding, it's probably the Urban Bicycle Gallery crew.\r \r On October 23, 2010, Urban Bicycle Gallery will be hosting registration and packet pick up for the 38th Annual BikeHouston Moonlight Ramble. Last year, more than 2,000 cyclists participated, and this year, BikeHouston has added a 10-mile course which will attract new participants. \r \r The Houston Moonlight Bicycle Ramble, founded in 1973, is the longest running bicycle ride in the Houston and will take place at 2:00 AM, on Sunday, September 24, 2010, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. BikeHouston volunteers have kept the 20-mile course tradition alive, and now, more than 2,000 bicycle enthusiasts participate in this fundraiser. BikeHouston is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cycling in the Houston area. Their programs include “share the road” advertising campaigns, helmet donations for disadvantaged kids, supporting police bicycle patrols, rallying cyclists to promote bikeways, bikes-on-buses, bayou trails, and making bicycles a priority in planning studies.\r \r Urban Bicycle Gallery is also hosting a fundraiser and pet adoption event for homeless animals in the inner city on October 23, 2010...which is way cool. \r \r The location is off of Nett Street which is two blocks north of Washington Avenue, between Shepherd and Durham. more

The staff is great bunch of guys that are very friendly and helpful. They work with you to get you what you need and they don't try to sell you what you don't need. They have always had a one day turn around on all my repairs. So pay them a visit you wont be disappointed : ) Pros: Very helpful and knowledgeable staff more

I have been using this bike shop for quite a few years. After having them repair an old bike I owned, I went ahead a decided to buy a new bike from them. The staff was very knowledgeable on what kind of bike I should be riding for my particular style. They have been very quick with any repairs that I have needed done. Pros: Helpful and knowledgeable staff more

We moved to 4814 Nett Street which is just right around the corner form the old location. The new building is bigger, nicer and has better parking. So check us out. Pros: great new facility more

Where should I start? Well, I went on a Sunday afternoon to see if they could put a lamp on a cruiser bike for me because I could not figure it out. That's what bike shops are for anyway, right? The guy that helped me was not rude, but he just was not friendly. He said that he would have to ask a mechanic to see what they could do and that he would call me on Monday. After I left the bike, I already had regrets of taking my cruiser bike to Urban Bicycle Gallery. Well, Monday came, and there was no call. I waited until 6:15, since the shop closes at 7:00. When I called the guy said my bike was ready. So, I went to pick up the bike. It was the same guy from Sunday that helped. Again, he was just not friendly. He gave me the bike and I was out of there. Here I am as a customer giving the shop buisness and they treat me like that. That is the LAST time that I go there. I still do not know why the shop did not call me back on Monday because when I went to the shop on Sunday and Tuesday, I was the only customer. They did not seem busy to me. Cons: Not Friendly more
