Shipping & Returns

We stand behind everything we sell.  We are committed to your having the best solution for your cycling needs.  If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, simply return the item within 30 days and we'll replace it or give you a refund. Please read "Returns" below for more information.

Before You Order
Bikes:  We suggest that you visit Bike Tech and get a bike sizing before ordering a bike — which will guarantee your satisfaction with the bike's fit and feel.

Clothing, Shoes, and Components:  Before you place an order, refer to the sizing chart available with many item descriptions — including various components, cycling clothing, and shoes — to determine the correct size.

Color choices and availability: In some cases, website images may not match the actual color choices of products shown. Please contact us if you are unsure about color choice or availability for a particular product.

Shipping

In-Store Pick Up
Get FREE SHIPPING when you place an order for pickup at Bike Tech.  Orders requesting in-store pickup will be notified within 24 hours by phone when the item is ready at the store. We are happy to accommodate quicker pickup times if you would kindly call us by phone to confirm the order prior to picking it up.  Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders requesting in-store pickup need to be picked up within 10 days or a 10% restocking fee will be charged.  

Packaging

Products being shipped may be put in boxes/packaging that is recycled, re-used, or re-sized.  We do this to preserve natural resources as well as keep our cost of shipping & handling as low as possible.  If you require a 'clean' box please request one at time of checkout.
