1. Bike World
Multiple locations, bikeworld.com

When it opened nearly 40 years ago as a Schwinn shop, Bike World was one of the first to champion cycling in San Antonio. It’s now part of the patchwork of local cycle shops, offering a range of road bikes, cruisers, and hybrids out of its restored 1920s-era building in Alamo Heights, and a newer location on Loop 1604 near Bulverde Road. Eager to promote the growing bike community in San Antonio, the shop regularly offers tips on trails, group rides, and safety, and even played a role in bringing the B-Cycle public bike-share system to San Antonio.
