Market Street Cycles

As the messenger community works to secure a permanent memorial for our lost I think this is a great start.

Hey lovely riders, we have 750 sq/ft of two-level retail/office/work space available immediately next door to the shop. Due to covid and some help from my landlord the rent will be ridiculously cheap for the foreseeable future. Rent and terms are flexible depending on what you want to do in the space. Call the shop during business hours at 415-255-2453 and talk to John. Please pass it on! Cheers.

415-255-2453. Book a spring tune up!

This is soooo long overdue. Let em know!

Things are not as simple as they seem. Owning and maintaining your own bike is the greenest alternative of all.

Riding while black!

Hey y’all, just a heads up that we are constantly under attack from thieves these days so if you happen to be going by and see some shit happening when we’re not there please call the cops. You’re also welcome to just run them over on your way by. It’s a free country, after all. Merry Holithings!

What gift would any cyclist want that you can’t buy online? The labor and love of a tune-up from your people at Market Street Cycles! Gift certificates available in any amount you wish. Share the two wheeled love!

Maybe not the best Black Friday purchase you could make.

Hey Riders! We’ll be closed this Sat. & Sun., Halloween weekend. Otherwise, we are OPEN for repairs and sales to keep you rolling. Call 415-ALL-BIKE (415-255-2453) for an appointment. (Online booking may be temporarily unavailable as we are short staffed, just call us for fastest turnaround.) Thanks, ride your bikes & STAY SAFE!

Happy Messenger Appreciation Day to all my people still holding down the best job in the world! Much love, be safe and carry on! (Interbike mostly sucked, but sometimes you got to party with Richie Ditta, Nelson Vails and Squid all in the same night.) Rubber side down...

Hey riders, it's Bike to Wherever Day! Come by and pick up your free musette bag (it's a tote)! We got plenty. :)

We are OPEN for repairs and sales to keep you rolling. Call 415-ALL-BIKE (415-255-2453) for an appointment. (Online booking may be temporarily unavailable as we are short staffed, just call us for fastest turnaround.) THANKS & STAY SAFE!

So this happened in front of the shop today. Market Street is KrAZy these days, yo!

WE ARE CLOSING TODAY DUE TO UNHEALTHY AIR CONDITIONS (AND ZOMBIES, LOT’S OF FREAKIN’ ZOMBIES). On normal days (what are those?) We are OPEN for repairs and sales to keep you rolling. Call 415-ALL-BIKE (415-255-2453) for an appointment.

WE WILL BE CLOSING FOR THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY FROM THE 5TH THROUGH THE 7TH. HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!! We are OPEN for repairs and sales to keep you rolling. Normal hours 11-6, Tue-Fri, 12-5 Sat, 12-6 Mon. Call 415-255-2453 for an appointment. (Online booking may be temporarily unavailable as we are short staffed, just call us for fastest turnaround.) THANKS & STAY SAFE!

They should be offered in urban areas as a paint option. Excellent camouflage and we could ride our nice bikes around town instead of our beaters!

Things you (well, maybe not you) can do with a bicycle.

Thanks to Mike Chen for the share! This looks great... We’re still plugging away down here, 11-6 Tue-Fri, 12-5 Sat, 12-6 Mon. Be safe, wear a mask, ride your bikes!

Hey riders, we will be closing for the holiday weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. See you back regular hours on Monday and have a great break!

Hey riders, some bad news to report. Some low lifes cut our locks and smashed our glass security door last night to steal some bikes. We are missing a 46 cm black Bianchi Nero, a 46 cm Celeste Bianchi Via Nirone, and a 50 cm Bianchi Infinito XE. If anybody sees somebody on one of these bikes who you suspect it does not belong to please call the shop immediately. Be safe and ride your bikes! Peace.

Hey riders, we are open and cranking as hard as we can but suppliers are running low on things, so if your essential transportation vehicle needs some love the time is NOW. Call us at 415-255-2453 for fastest service, we are understaffed so email and internet appointments may get by us! WE GOT THIS! https://www.ktvu.com/video/686069

The most bikes I've seen on Market Street since the mid-90s Critical Masses by far.

Asshat in Chief is about to make things harder than they already are. https://www.npr.org//intensifying-u-s-china-tensions-could

Tip of the day! See everyone at 11 tomorrow for more craziness. Be safe!

Now that’s a plan! We are OPEN for repairs and sales to keep you rolling. Call 415-255-2453 for an appointment. (Online booking temporarily stopped as we are short staffed, just call us.)

Hey riders, we're closing up for Memorial Day weekend but we'll be back hard at it 11AM Tuesday morning. Have a great weekend, stay safe and RIDE YOUR BIKES!

Hey riders, we know your bike needs work and we will get to it as soon as we can. Worst case scenario we will reopen at 11 tomorrow, Thursday the 30th. We are juggling several staffing problems right now and are doing our best. See you all as soon as we can! Sorry for the delay. -MSC Peeps

Hey riders, we are dealing with staffing issues during this time and will be closed for a bit. We’ll be back open very soon, please stand by!

Vittoria Tires is partnering with shops to direct ship to consumers! Use coupon code VittoriaU6AI on Vittoria.com for 10% off + FREE SHIPPING sitewide. Rubber side down!

Hi all, due to unforeseeable circumstances we will be opening a little later today (not Covid related, thankfully). See you all around noon.

Keep Monday weird! We’re open 11-6, Monday thru Friday, noon to 5 Saturday. Be safe, stay healthy, and ride your bike!

Hey riders, we're back in the saddle after an Apocalyptic Easter Sunday, so if you need anything to zombie-proof your End-of-Days-Mobile come on down or give a call at 415-255-2453! All distancing and sanitizing protocols are in effect.

Hey riders, Matt and Sophie The Indispensable Sanitizing Machine are keeping the shop open 11-6 for your essential transport needs! Be smart and safe, protect them and yourselves. Oh, and check this out for a laugh:

Hey riders, hope you are all well and staying safe during the Great Apocalypse! We are still at it down here, 11-6 M-F, 12-5 Saturday, BUT... It's gonna rain all weekend so we're gonna give Matt "Han Solo" Palmer and his trusty sidekick Sophie "Cutebacca" a couple days off in a row for a change. Closing Saturday and Sunday, back to 11-6 hours on Monday. Be safe and ride your bikes as needed! WE GOT THIS!

Still open. All anti-zombie protocols heavily enforced. The revolution is not motorized.

Hey riders! We are still open so come down if you need us! Meanwhile check out a great video on safe shopping and food take out.

If you come in to Market Street Cycles today we promise not to let Stephen Colbert work on your bike. Be safe! 11 to 6 today.

Thanks SF Hoodline for helping to get the word out!

Here we go again, 11 to 6 today for all your essential transport needs. Come by and show Matt & his elves the love (from a safe distance )!

Just checking in here with a reminder that we are still open. Reduced hours, 11 to 6 Monday through Friday, 12 to 5 Saturday. If you go, be extra nice to Matt Han Solo Palmer who is flying the ship by himself for the time being. He has kept us open single-handedly during a very rough spell. Actually, he has a trusty assistant who is not a bike shop person but has been invaluable. (Thanks Sophie!) They are cleaning as they go like crazy people, so when you go please show them the same courtesy regarding distance and clean surfaces. WE CAN DO THIS SAFELY! Peace!

It’s just common sense! We’re OPEN 11 to 6 today for all your repair, accessories and new bike for the apocalypse needs. WE CAN DO THIS SAFELY, SO RIDE YOUR DAMN BIKE LIKE YOU LOVE TO!!!

Well, I guess they know we’re open now!

We will be open at 11 today! Dropping your bike off for a tune-up can be done at a safe distance. Official vehicle of the Apocalypse! Come on down...

OK, new plan. We are declaring ourselves an essential service much like auto repair shops which are allowed to remain open. We will be operating on a more limited schedule, 11 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, and as for now, regular noon to five on Saturday. We will keep you posted if this is not working out for any reason. Ride your bike, it’s social distance!

"The Union of Concerned Scientists study, however, concluded that ride hailing is even worse for the climate than air quality officials found. That’s because riders aren’t only taking Uber or Lyft instead of their own private vehicles, they’re taking them when they otherwise would have used lower-carbon options such as public transit, biking or walking."

Can you do any fixie tricks? Hold my beer...

Hey riders, in honor of President's day (you know, the good ones) we're going to be closing at 4 p.m. this Monday. Regular hours after that and hope everybody has a great weekend!

These folks do great work, help em if you’re able.

Apparently this guy wasn't done giving cyclists a bad name. What a complete d-bag.

Etiquette matters.

Be like Mike. please!!
