Planetary saved us again this weekend! We needed an obscure special order part and they had something on hand to get us back riding immediately. Always above and beyond (and a must go to if you ride laid back).

Awesome customer service! They are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recently had an issue with a component that I bought there and had no issues with them honoring the warranty. This is the PREMIER bike shop in Meyerland. You will be pleasantly surprised with their selection and great customer service.

I called them on Wednesday at 3:00 in the afternoon and told them my bike wouldn’t shift and it sounded like it was on its last leg, the gentle man on the phone explained that had a big waiting list but told me to bring it by and he would look at for me which I did. He spent 15 minutes adjusting things and sent me on my way with a bike that rode like a new one! I love this place.

Went to Planetary Cycles uncertain about what to expect. David greeted me at the door, showed me several different options within my price range, took the time to answer all of my questions, and helped me make an informed decision. Great customer service and pleasant experience overall. Will definitely be back. Couldn’t be happier with my new ride!

Just bought a new bike from here and I love it. Tucker helped me out with it as he has a similar one and I’m so happy with the recommendation and that it’s doing exactly what I wanted it for.
This was my second bike from here, and I’ve been happy with both purchases and the service before and after I made them. I recommend this place for your biking needs!

David is a star. Expert advice, guidance and service! Didn't even think I'd get a bike today but he got me even more excited than I was before coming in, gave me the pros and cons between bikes, was patient and helped me get the perfect one for my size and needs.
10/10 Highly recommend!

Was given a service time estimate of almost two weeks. Went back the next day and just bought the parts and told them I'd do it myself. So of course a day later I take my bike to another shop, who took care of it in 48 hours, parts provided. Call first I guess.

Super helpful, gave me a better fitting seat for no additional charge.

They showed me several bikes and were willing to order, they also do a free one month check up.

Charlie and Adam have taken good care of us with warranty repairs and bike purchases! Wish they had longer hours but perhaps it's due to Covid concerns. Go see them, they will spend the time helping you find the right bike!

There are bike shops and then there is Planetary Cycles. People that own and manage and hire people like them - people that have spent their lives working on and with bicycles. And when I say they're in it - they have designed bicycles and had them manufactured to their specifications. They don't just know, they care - they aren't about selling you the most expensive bike in the shop - they're about listening and learning about what you're doing - so if you cruise the neighborhood or race on dirt or road and all in between - Adam and his crew are simply outstanding.
