About Coastal Cycles

Sister and brother team Kim and Bob operate Coastal Cycles and have a passion for bikes and dealing with the public. When you walk into the shop you’ll feel welcome and comfortable. You won’t find any pressured, commission sales people tailing you around. Just knowing and helpful staff. There when you need help, out of your way when you don’t. This is a very down to earth operation. Another shop owner referred Coastal as “So Base”.  You’ll find all that you need in parts and accessories in recognizable brand names, as well as some items you won’t find in other shops. With years of experience in the bicycle industry they have a good handle on what you need and want.

Bob, who’s from Victoria, spent a few decades in Vancouver learning the bike business at Cambie Cycles, where they specialized in recumbent bikes and trikes, and even built their own Long Wheel Base model called the Recumboni. In 2005, Bob returned to Victoria and worked with a number of local shops before going it alone.  His years of experience gives him the ability to talk about all types of riding. He works in sales and service and guarantees customer satisfaction.

Kim , also a native Victorian, has many years of business experience. She knows exactly how to keep a business going strong. A keen eye for detail and fair play ensures a smooth operation. She also maintains the POS system and the front-end inventory levels, hoping to always have what you want or need.
