The owner and staff here are amazing. I have been a loyal customer for almost 2 years now and they never fail. From having to purchase a new bike, to needing repair work, to just general answers to my questions, this place is the best.

In 2021 it's pretty rare to have an awesome experience involving anyone trying to sell things, but Bike The Planet has given us the exact opposite treatment. THEY ARE FANTASTIC! Super patient, very knowledgeable and unbelievably friendly people who have a super cool little shop with a 1990's Memphis feel about it. I can't wait to go back! Please don't change a thing about the way you do things, Bike The Planet, because you guys are freaking AWESOME!

Listen to the good reviews on here. I was here to talk to Mel about a new bike. He was so patient with me and told me everything single thing I needed to know about each bike that he thought would suit me.
He explains why each bike is worth its price and he’s absolutely right. He is so knowledgeable he’s basically a bike Wikipedia. Mel is a bike guru!
He’s an engineer by training and understands the geometry, mechanics and materials in bikes. I ultimately walked out buying only a bike rack today but I’ll be back!

Love to shop there and very good customer service. When I went there to sell my bike I had no transportation home and the owner asked one of his employees to give me a ride home! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I don’t write many reviews but had such a good experience I thought I would. I took my old bike in for a tune up and the difference was significant. I strongly recommend everyone take advantage of this service because of its affordability. Thanks Mel and his better half. I would use her name but Mel has not gotten her business cards printed yet 😉

Just got a bike and needed an air adapter for the tires and there was a few small issues I needed help with. I walked in and Mel stopped what he was doing and did at least 5-6 different things for me and had me out within 20 min. Very knowledgeable and was more than generous with information and hospitality as I waited. I won't go anywhere else other than Bike the Planet.

I'm new at bicycling and bought a couple of used bikes that needed adjustments. I am more than impressed with the owner Mel for his expertise in all things bikes. I will be a loyal customer of his and Bike the Planet. I highly recommend him!
