Great little (but packed) local bicycle shop. Actually stopped in to sell my bike which I have not used in the past 18 years. They offered me a very reasonable price for my bike, which I accepted and promptly received a check.
Great doing business. with them.

I just happened to be in Diamond Springs to get my ears lowered and had time to spare, so I walked down the street and saw a sign for RALEIGH bikes which I happen to have 2, and with an interest to part with one, I walk around the corner to see a massive truck! Military! Now, I gotta meet him. What an amazing experience.

I've known Rufus in the Bicycle industry for years. He is highly knowledgeable and a great mechanic. His newest shop is a great place to find great all you need. If you need repairs, he's the man. From one bike bike mechanic to another, he is highly respected by me. And I've run an service shop also. Glad to call him Comrade. You will not be disappointed.

Rufus is such a neat, hard working guy. I have so much respect for his knowledge in bike mechanics. He has been very helpful in customizing my bike. I also like that he explains everything and provides options in choices and costs. He has a unique bike shop...check it out

In late July I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rufus, the shop owner.
It was kind of funny, as I had driven up to the front of his store on Main St., Diamond Springs - across the street from the Fire Station; just to look at the many varieties of bikes he has outside on display.
Before too long a guy came out the front clearly heading toward my car. I recognized Mr. Rufus from the write ups in our local papers.
The papers covered a lot of info about him and the shop, but they couldn't possibly describe how outgoing, friendly, knowledgeable, and customer oriented that Mr. Rufus

I have been a serious cyclist for 50 years, and I feel that I know a lot about cycling and bicycles. Rufus really knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

Rufus is the best! I have bought new bikes from Rufus for many years, when he was an employee at Golden Spoke (GS) in Placerville. GS has retired their store, and Rufus now runs his fun little shop in Diamond Springs as his next step. That's great news for the West Slope, since so few bike shops exist "up the hill". Rufus provides great bike repair service a good selection of value parts. He has a small selection of Raleigh bikes and beautifully reconditioned bikes. Rufus's knowledge and experience is highly trusted by many. He has a great dog too, Snoopy who is always up for some LOVE.

My daughter's old bike needed a tune-up, was embarrassed by condition when I brought it in. Rufus treated it like a high end bike, he's no bike snob. He did a fantastic job, and took just a couple of days to have it back in working condition. I trust his workmanship, I feel reassured my daughter can ride her bike safely around town. His shop is awesome, it has bikes for just about anyone at any level. He is very knowledgable about the bike industry, trails and other tidbits, and cares about customer satisfaction. We have purchased two bikes from him before, and happy with his recommendation

Visited Rufus Cycles because I was told they sell used bikes. Needed a larger one for my 5yo daughter.
There is was; an absolutely beautiful, can't tell its used girls bike!
Owner added training wheels & a handlebar basket, adjusted everything to perfect fit and my little screamer was riding ALL OVER their huge parking lot! She be VERY Happy!
Took the toddler-sized bike in for partial trade! I be very happy!
I recommend patronizing this business.

Great little shop with a surprisingly good selection for it's small size- one of the few local shops with a strong BMX presence! Owner is a nice guy who's been in the industry for decades. The photo currently shown on Google is not the storefront- it's across the parking lot.
