Americancyclery

American Cyclery started in 1941 when Oscar Juner, a former Six Day track bicycle racer, opened the doors at 510 Frederick Street in San Francisco. Eighty years later, it's still the oldest bike shop in the city—and they're not coasting on that history. The shop carries classically styled bikes alongside cutting-edge cycling tech, everything from $399 hybrid commuters to high-end carbon road bikes.

"Our service department is currently open but at limited capacity."

Their staff spends "countless hours carefully selecting a wide range of products that are functional, easily serviceable and enduring." They skip trendy marketing hype. They're direct access dealers for Surly bikes (Straggler, Preamble, Bridge Club, Disk Trucker in stock), authorized Cervélo retailers, and carry Salsa bikes.

They've been featured in Bicycling Magazine, Outside Magazine, and won Bicycling Magazine's America's Best Bike Shop (October 2011). They were named a National Bicycle Dealers Association Top 100 Dealer multiple years (2012, 2014-2018) and won the Interbike 2017 Retail Innovation Award. They're even in the book Oldest San Francisco by Alec Scott.

Notable customer: Robin Williams picked up a SOMA Rush custom build here in 2006.
