Rath Bicycle

I have the unfortunate incident of experiencing a popped tube recently. I didn't have a spare on me and was no where near home, luckily I was within walking distance of Rath Bicycle. They managed to swap out my tube and fill both my tires and gave me tips on bike maintenance. They were incredibly friendly and the service was top notch. I am definitely adding Rath to the list of shops I will go to if i need to get any work done in my bike in the future.

Great customer service! It was easy to communicate with Lori and Tom from Rath Bicycle. I ordered a bike on Saturday night (even outside their work hours) and got it delivered to our front door the very next day - all built, no box and packaging to worry about, to test ride, to purchase, and to be given quick tutorials on. Appreciate their suggestion to register our bike as well. Glad to support a local Calgary business specially during these uncertain times! Best of luck on the move to a new storefront location to Rath Bicycle! :)

Tom and Ruth (owners) are so, so lovely, knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. My partner and I felt totally at ease, and comfortable asking questions without feeling like dummies. They patiently explained the work they’d done to our bikes and why (we had two box rebuilds and some parts replaced), and gave use some great tips for future improvements should we wish.They also gave us some fun recommendations since we’re new to Calgary! Thanks guys, you’re our new go-to shop!

I stumbled upon this shop on a summer stroll and Lori offered a test ride and I absolutely fell in love with their bikes. I couldn’t stop thinking about them and ended up going back to purchase the new bike. The bike I purchased was adorable and functional with comfy seats, 7 gears, and it came with a light and a bell. They also have other accessory you could purchase. Lori was very professional, helpful, kind, and friendly both times! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a new bike.***edit: a year later and still loving the bike! Got a tune up with Rath bikes and they did an amazing job and went above and beyond my expectations and it’s completely fair placed. Highly recommend their services as well.

Got grandpas old bike, and wish you could ride it again- But don't want to take up vintage bicycle repair as a new hobby? Rath Bicycle is the place to go!I had them do a full restoration on my grandpa's very unique old bike and Tom and Lori where more than excited to take on the project. They had a genuine enthusiasm I don't think I could have found anywhere else.I can't believe how good of a job Tom did restoring the corrosion damage to all the chrome. The bike rides as good as it looks too, with all new cables, brand new (not easy to find) tires, and a full rebuild I couldn't be happier.The project came in on budget and was done even faster than expected. I know if I had tried to do this job myself it would still be a pile of parts, because of their expedient work I am super grateful I can ride it this season.If you are on the fence about an old bicycle restoration do not hesitate to bring it to Rath Bicycle, these guys will pour the love into your heirloom peice that it deserves and give you back something you can love for years to come.

Tom is clearly very knowledgeable and is in it for the love of old bikes. He had mine and my bikes best interests in mind. Very personable. Thanks!

A great place to have your vintage bike restored to its former glory. It was a pleasure doing business with Rath Bicycle.Awesome work!

SUCH a great bicycle shop! Tom and Lori are absolutely AMAZING and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for high quality service provided with passion and integrity. It's clear that they are passionate about what they do, and they understand the sentimental importance and value of the restorations they complete. I recently had my mom's CCM bike from her childhood (which I also rode as a teenager) restored with Rath. The bike was in rough condition as it was stored in a farm quonset for 50 years. Tom worked with me over the phone and in person to create the restoration I wanted for this precious memory. They even built a new bicycle seat for me as I wanted to retain the original blue and white seat, but it was no longer salvageable. I don't know how they did it, but they restored the bike to perfection, even preserving the original decals! Working with them was such a fun and pleasant experience, they even delivered the bike for me as I couldn't pick it up in person. If you are thinking of getting a bicycle restored, I would highly suggest you get in contact with them, you won't regret it! Thank you Tom and Lori for taking such care with my bike and delivering it back to me better than I could have imagined!

Lori and Tom are the best!!! I have not bought a bike from them (yet)...but have got to know them from East Village Junction.They are so warm, honest and kind. They are the type of people that build community and entrepreneurs that contribute and add to Calgary.And they have the cutest bikes that I have my eyes on. Great cruisers at a reasonable price. They also sell great accessories to go with you bike.You can also rent bikes for various lengths of times at a very reasonable rates.I really hope they set up a permanent shop in East Village or nearby.

Tom and Lori are amazing! They are so nice and knowledgeable at what they do!I purchased an older road bike off Kijiji and was looking for a shop that could do a tune up in a short period of time as I wanted to get riding ASAP. I looked at other shops in Calgary and the wait was about 3-4 weeks!I am so happy I stumbled across their page, I dropped it off for a full service/tune up on Friday and got it back Sunday!!! Amazing service, very thorough with what they do and they are so reasonably priced, not to mention they do drop offs and pick ups in East Village, Inglewood, and Ramsay which was so convenient for anyone downtown!I will definitely be going back to them for any repairs or maintenance work on my bikes and definitely recommend them to anyone I know! I’ve found my new shop!!
