Great knowledge and service
ChainReaction's staff (family business) is the most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful of any retail establishment I've ever shopped at. Their store is well stocked with most anything and everything you'll need. And if they need to, they'll special order what it is you need. It's always a great experience walking into that shop.
Products and service are of top quality. They respond to all of your questions and concerns and offer great advice on future maintenance or products. Their goal is to get you on your bike as fast as possible, at the least possible cost.

Very knowledgeable staff. Kind, helpful and humble crew. Great products and great prices.
Helpful, friendly people, not much else to say but that is more than enough. Thank you for my repair.

Always friendly, prompt, ready to help, and a great value!
Very friendly, and the repair seems to have been done really well.
Burley Kazoo was given to us assembled, without any discussion about assembling, or an offer to assemble it. We would have been better off ordering online!
Professional thanks
Friendly staff. Great turnaround time on repair services.
Great service, knowledgeable, honest, and friendly people who care about not just customers but their bikes too.
The staff are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I've been a loyal customer for 30 years.
Personalized service, decades of bicycle knowledge, sales, maintenance and service of Trek bikes. I’ve known and patronized this family owned Peninsula bike shop since the mid 1980’s. Their bike maintenance and repair shop has been second to none for as long as I’ve known them. They take pride in all they do.
Dropped in by the shop because of the large inventory of size small frames and the gearing that caters to the hilly terrain on the Bay Area. I was working with Becky and she was very knowledgeable and polite. She even offered to swap out components to my preferred choices. I will be going back to this shop despite the longer drive.
The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I had a great experience with these folks and would recommend the shop to anyone in the area.
Very nice to get my bike serviced by a professional.
Great service, knowledgeable and dependable
Great service very nice people always very helpful. I had a part that broke on my wife’s bike which was less than a year old and they fixed it at no cost so they also stand by what they sale and do the right thing for their customers. They will always have my business and I will always refer them to friends and family. Thanks Rob
I brought my e-bike for repairs at the shop where purchased. The bike was not repaired, so I brought it in to Chain Reaction where I received prompt, excellent service. This is my go-to bike shop from now on.
You told me when to expect to get my back back and you completed repairs exactly on schedule. My bike was wonderfully cleaned and cared for. Thanks so much!
Friendliness, professionalism, reasonable prices

Excellent customer service... always!
The quality
best bike store in the bay area. thanks
Mike J may be the most customer oriented business person I have ever met. These people stand behind what they sell. I recommend them without hesitation!
Service was good and fast. They were honest which is so rare these days. I would definitely recommend them.
We love coming to see Mike and his son Kevin, as we have done for many years. They are kind, efficient and friendly. Recently we expected to wait a week for my bike’s repairs and yet it was available the next day!
They have an incredible collection of bikes and accessories, especially now where they have expanded into their beautiful new space. We’d never consider taking our bikes anywhere else, though there are many bike shops near where we live in Palo Alto.

Well laid out store and displays of bikes, parts, accessories. Steve was very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending options for upgrading my Trek.
