These guys are awesome! We limped in with a broken bike chain. Sergio fixed it in a couple of minutes and oiled up our other rusty chains; then they gave us dinner recommendations, pointed us toward their favorite breweries, and made us laugh. And they didn't charge us for all the help!
Connor and the fellas were so friendly and engaging that we wanted to sign up for a tour right then and there. Highly recommend these guys for tours, rentals, or to just to hang out :)

We were well taken care of by Connor and Tyler at Santa Barbara Bikes to go. We popped in the day before to select bikes we wanted as we were renting premium road bikes. Tyler was super friendly and efficient organizing four of us. Connor was energetic and very thorough creating a route for us. He sett it up on the Garmin so we had step by step directions since we were visiting the area. When we came in the next day they had the bikes already to go, the mechanics personally worked with each of us to dial in the proper fit. The route created was stunning and fun! They have a vast awray of bikes. Definitely check them out! Next time I’m in town I look forward to trying their Mt bikes!

Our eBike tour with Connor and Cooper was the highlight of our weeklong trip in Santa Barbara! We had a private tour where we saw highlights of the city in 2.5-3.0 hrs. Connor and Cooper were really good explaining how to use the eBikes and were committed to safety first. But they were also really fun to talk to and knowledgeable about the city as well as other things we were interested in such as hiking and wine tours and places to eat. We saw all the sites we wanted to see including a ride along the beach and visit to butterfly beach, the Presidio, State Street, the FunkZone, Montecito, and a beautiful view from a hilltop. We loved our trip and our guides. You rock Connor and Cooper!

We were looking for a fun and contact-less adventure in Santa Barbara! Great service and thoroughness by Cal Coast Adventures! We were able to book the type of bike online and pre-pay (optional). Lots of street parking near the shop which made it easy and convenient. When we received our bikes, they gave us sanitizing wipes to clean down (they already sanitize after each use). They made sure the seats were adjusted and the tires had adequate air. Gave us a map highlighting a few routes and a bike lock - we were on our way!

We did a group surfboard rental and had the best experience with Cal Coast Adventures. I forgot the name of who we worked with but he was very professional and one of the nicest gentlemen I've met. We rented ~15 surfboards and scheduled a drop-off location/time and pick-up location/time and they were on point with all the details. Everything went smoothly for our special paddle-out event and we won't work with any other company in the future. Thank you for taking care of our family during our special event, we are so very grateful.

My wife and I have rented road bikes from Cal Coast four years in a row. That should tell you something. We aren't racers but we take our cycling and hardware seriously. The brands, models, components, and pedal selection are excellent. They've always had a nice bike ready for us, completed a good fit and adjustment, and have us on the road quickly. Someone on the Cal Coast crew is always available to give a bike a tweak if we stop in. I've rented road bikes all over the country and I cannot say enough good things about this shop, it's management and personnel. Use them, you won't be disappointed.

We did a fantastic tour with Connor. My 12-year-old said this was a "12 on a scale of 1-5!" Connor was a great leader and was also really careful to make sure everyone was following and safe. We were all disappointed when the tour ended. Great way to see Santa Barbara! Plus, we later went to a restaurant Connor recommended with a great outdoor patio and it was amazing (Zaytoon). Wonderful afternoon!

This e-bike tour was super fun. We were lucky
enough to get Collin for our guide and laughed a lot.
He has lots of interesting local knowledge, and his
passion is contagious. The e-bikes are easy to use,
and Collin's signals and communication made us
feel safe even in busier traffic. The route and views
were beautiful. He's a self-proclaimed foodie, too,
so we got lots of great recommendations for
restaurants. We were so glad we decided to book
this tour. Not expensive and worth every penny.

We rented 5 bike cruisers from Cal Coast for our family over the weekend. The team there was very prompt, friendly and knowledgable of the area. I would highly recommend using this company for any type of rental you need in the SB area.

These guys were awesome. We needed SUP boards for a couple of weeks for vacation. Very professional pick-up/drop-off service with respectful observance of COVID cleanliness. Equipment was top notch with nice helpful service. I'll get bike rentals next time too.

Hey, Matt so glad that you were impressed with our customer service and COVID-19 cleanliness. We have had to change a lot of how we operate but we seem to have smoothed everything out now! We can't wait to see you next time! Take Care.
