Mellow Velo
First thing well do is put air in the tires, then we put oil on the chain, and then we see what we need to do after that. Since opening in 2005, Mellow Velo has been known for its world-class service shop. From vintage road bikes to long travel carbon fiber models, we understand the nuance and possibilities of repairing and restoring nearly anything.

Gravel bikes have quickly become the most requested style of bike in Mellow Velo. They allow a more curious road rider to venture off the perfect pavement. We sell a wildly diverse number of these bikes from the lightest of weight to the most indestructible. As for our more traditional road riders, we continue to offer the finest options from brands all over the world.
Services
These guys are great, not only do they have some of the best bikes in the world, they know exactly what these machines are capable of and can steer you in the right direction. Elegance, style, history, and quality are some of the words we choose to describe ourselves and our work. Mellow Velo is an independent bicycle dealer in the heart of downtown Santa Fe and has been operating in Santa Fe since 2005.

Nicest guys. Extremely helpful. Made some worthwhile recommendations on what my old bike needed. No hard sell. Tuned up my bike and got me out the door in record time!

I've been bringing my road and mtn bike here for about 5 years. Always quality service. The last time I brought my mtn bike for a tune up, i got the best ever tune. Bike worked super good and allowed me to have a great trip exploring new trails with total confidence. Thanks Pedro and all of you at Mellow Velo. You guys are the best!

I found the team at Mellow Velo to be friendly and helpful. I had a pedal issue on my bike that they were able to fix on the spot. The shop is very clean and organized as well. I will be a regular customer there!

The best bike shop ever. I became friends with Dave, the owner through the shop. He has hooked me up- traded old bikes for a baby trailer, let me trade in a bike I bought there that was never quite right. Let me be honest to everyone on the planet, women hate bike shops. They are usually full of Peter Pan like "men," who splain every thing under the sun to you. Not this place, I love the people that work there. It's the least Broish gear store ever. Thanks y'all- huge kuddos for being the best.

Such a great crew, all bike enthusiasts, that ride every day, super friendly, this is the shop for high quality bikes, and that hard to find Italian Steel, and rare bikes you don't see anywhere else! Custom builds are their specialty. Dave is a great guy, and that reflects through his employees, the crew downstairs are the best in town!!

What a great shop. They carry quality gear and interesting collection of vintage road stuff. We rented eBikes one day and MTB another and the routes they suggested were perfect. Thanks Dave, Jonah, and the rest of the gang.

Ok it has only taken me several months to write this review because I am that kind of person BUT here I am still fondly reminiscing the experience I had at this shop. My stupid rear tube had been going flat randomly every couple of days and despite changing the tube/taking it somewhere to get looked at etc. it was still effing being a brat. OPEN SCENE...me, downtown, running errands. Amy, my bike, being baller as ever dodging confused, slow-walking tourists, mouths agape, in the middle of the road...all is smooth...BAM! FLAT! I'm like well I will die before I WALK anywhere ever again BUT I

I've rented bikes on vacation at various Mt bike destinations. Melo was by far the friendliest and had the most varied demo fleet, especially considering the size of the shop-- on the smaller side. David, Rossen, Jonah, thanks for your attentiveness.

Owen setup my bike like a champ (Santa Cruz Bronson). I've never ridden a bike I would consider trading for my bike (carbon stumpy) at home. With the care and expertise with which it was setup, I immediately felt at home on it.

The rail trail is great, they put me on a new carbon gravel bike, wildflowers and cacti blooming in late

I do a lot of destination mountain bike trips and therefore deal with a ton of local shops. So I don't say this lightly: Mellow Vello rocks for rentals. Incredible selection of my favorite bikes, perfectly tuned. Owen set me up like I was buying the bike... tweaking every adjustment. They let me swap bikes in the middle of the multiple day rental so that I could really get the feel for what's out there. Great advice on trail selection and the price was very reasonable. They don't offer insurance, which I found slightly concerning but then they didn't charge me for some noticeable

If 10 stars were possible, I'd happily award them to Mellow Velo and its staff. Echoing all of the rest of the reviews here: knowledgable, friendly staff who'll point you in the right direction of where to go based on your skill level and the type of riding you want to do. Great selection of bikes to rent, some of them on the higher end. Really nice crew. Can't say enough about them, honestly.

We had such a great experience with Mellow Velo. We rented the cruisers for the day. The guys gave us great recommendations for where to go. Up Canyon Road was our fav. Comfy bikes and just super nice people who work there. Was a blast and a highlight of our trip.

Every summer I visit Santa Fe, and rent a bike instead of a car. It’s a great way to get around! And every summer Mellow Velo comes through with the best wheels for my stay. They’ve got a great selection of bikes for rent or for sale. Their customer service is excellent. I highly recommend this nice shop located conveniently in the heart of Santa Fe Downtown.

Once again... Mellow Velo to the rescue... my brakes were making a lot of noise, so I took my bike in to Mellow Velo and one of the fellows fixed it right then and there. Thanks again! D

Loved this place from randomly chatting to David the owner after we'd grabbed a coffee to finally dropping back in and renting a CX bike for a day and getting expert friendly advice on where to ride. You wanna ride in Santa Fe (and you should) then just come here

I rented bikes with my family today and was thoroughly impressed with the service! I called before I got there to reserve 4 bikes and they had them ready to go. I wish I could remember the guys name who helped us (he had very long hair) and was excellent in every way. He helped us map out the trails, set us up with fabulous new bikes, helmets and even locks so we could lock-up our bikes when we stopped for lunch. I was real concerned that they would not have a bike for my 10 year old but they had a perfect brand new one for him. These are the best, most high quality bikes I ever rented so we felt

Never again!
I've had two bad customer service experiences and will not be back. It sucks to get your bike returned to you after a $200 service with a broken light and an excuse --no apology --or offer to replace it.

Need to rent a bike when you're tired of hoofing it around Santa Fe?


Come to this store! Wide selection of bikes, and the staff is extremely helpful and patient in helping you to find a bike suitable for your needs.


Located just off the Plaza at E. Marcy, I found just what I needed to bike around downtown and surrounding areas. The rates to rent are reasonable, and you can keep your bike with you overnight, if you wish.
