Could not ask for a better neighbourhood bike shop - they are the best. Ken and Rick (owners) are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, helping me get into a new Rocky last year and keep our other bikes tuned up and maintained for my wife and I. Professional with good prices and quality work tou can count on (and when you need it most out on the trails)! A great local business to support!!

I bought a Marin trail bike from Lynn Valley a year after they opened about nine years ago. The bike has served me well I have returned to them for service every year. Rick and Ken have treated me and my girlfriend very fairly. Their work is quality, it’s an honest bike shop they only do what’s really needed. I took my bike out of there today after a major overhaul and the bike feels new. Thank you guys!

Extremely helpful proprietor and staff. These guys know their stuff! Starting prices at $700; good selection of Rocky Mountain (hybrid and mountain / suspension) bikes and a standing selection of Opus comfort bikes.
Repair shop at back. It was a pleasure talking to Rick, co owner of the store. I will definitely come back for a Rocky Mountain commuter as a reward for myself once I get in shape!

Great store. Tough to find but trust Google maps. It's worth finding. They don't have the largest selection on the floor but had what my daughter wanted. Best of all it was $60 less than Obsession. I will update this review after the first tune up.

Rick and Ken are awesome! Service is great and there is zero attitude, just friendly guys who want to help.

Being a professional mountain biker (almost as good as Bart Gould) having an awesome local mountain bike shop is a must have, and Lynn Valley Bikes is just that shop.
Ken and Rick eat, breathe, and sleep mountain biking (and road biking too). Totally awesome repair shop. I have had at least ten full on repair jobs done, and never dissapointed! Plus, they have got my wife mountain biking, which is helping my mid-life crisis in a major way! Ride for another day (that's Joff''s quote, but I use it a lot)
