Great Santa Cruz Bike Shops

Santa Cruz is a great place for biking. From pump tracks to road riding along Highway 1 or on the new Rail Trail to any one of the fantastic mounting biking trails, there something here for everyone.

But if you don’t have the equipment you need (or are just looking to invest in a new kind of bike!) Santa Cruz is also well set to get you on two wheels in style. Here are some of our favorite local bike shops:
