Eric Berg and the staff at JRA Bike Shop have been helping their neighbors in Greenwood, Ballard, and Crown Hill get on their bikes and ride since 2008.

We take our reputation as "Seattle's Friendliest Bike​ Shop" seriously. We're here to help you ride your bike happily and safely, whether you're a fair-weather, down-to-the-coffee-shop rider or a deep-winter daily commuter. If we can help add a bike trip to your transportation options, we've done our job.
Picture

Business is not as usual. Please Read.

HOURS: 10am - 5pm, daily.

Appointments for service and bike sales are required.

We are trying to help as many people outside as we can. All in-store shopping is one household at a time, and supervised. Appointments for general shopping will be prioritized, and appointments are mandatory for bike shopping and repairs. Please see below.

Current Operating Procedures:
Bicycle Repairs & Service
You are welcome to drop off your bikes for maintenance, as well as repairs. We are, however, not doing on-the-spot evaluations or repairs as we did in ye olden days. You need to plan to leave your bike here for work. Please email jrabikes@gmail.com to begin setting up a service appointment. Include the following in your email:
         1) your name
         2) your phone number
         3) the make, model, and color of your bike
         4) a description of the problem/symptoms your bike is experiencing, or the services you hope to
             have performed.
Once we've notified you that we've started you a work order, you are ready to drop off your bike. We are doing repair drop-offs and pick-ups outside. We will evaluate your bike within 1-4 days. If your repairs can be completed for under $50, we will see to them at that time. If they will cost more than that, we will email you an estimate and expected date of completion. Please get back to us as soon as you can to approve, ask questions, make clarifications, or decline work. If you approve the work, we will complete your repairs on the designated date (booking out about a week right now), and will text or email you when your bike is ready with a final total that can be paid when you pickup, or via PayPal.

Bicycle Sales

We are still selling bikes, but we are doing so by appointment only, and we have a VERY limited selection. We are still in the middle of a major international bicycle shortage. Some 2021 bikes have started to arrive, and, our distributors are telling us, they will continue trickling in through the Spring and Summer of 2021.

Our bike inventory is currently LIVE online. See ADULT BIKES and KIDS BIKES to see what we have.
Alternatively, please email us at jrabikes@gmail.com and let us know what style of bike you are interested in, or what kind of riding you'd like to do. Please also provide us with your height, and a measurement of your inseam (in shoes, to the floor), or your frame size, if known. We'll let you know what we have available. If you are interested, we'll arrange an appointment for you to come take a look and test ride during a one-hour block with a sales associate.

In addition to a bike shortage, we are also still in the middle of a pandemic. All bikes are cleaned and sanitized to the best of our ability before and after test rides, and working on an appointment system allows us to do this cleaning as well as to offer some form of contact tracing and physical space as the shop will be closed to other shoppers during your appointment.


Other Retail Shopping
The same manufacturing shortages that have resulted in a bike shortage have also resulted in a lot of shortage areas in bike parts and accessories. Emailing ahead will help us best ensure we have what you are looking for, and potentially save you a trip if we do not.

We are happy to answer questions and to help find parts you may need for home repair work, or accessories to make your rides safe and comfortable. We will do our best to help with your and your family’s cycling needs, while also maintaining a clean shop, and following responsible social distancing practices.

We are trying to help as many people outside as we can. When we can't, supervised in-store shopping is available by appointment. We are only having one person/household in the shop at a time, and shoppers with appointments will be prioritized.

 
Contacting us & reminders
Email is by far our preferred method of communication. Please email us at jrabikes@gmail.com, and please be patient. We are trying to help as many people as we can.

This should go without saying, but if you are ill, especially if you are showing symptoms of Covid-19, or have had close contact with someone who has been symptomatic in the last few weeks, we ask that you please do not come to the shop.
 
Finally, try to stay safe, and to be kind to one another.
 
Thank you all for your support now, and through the years.
