The brainchild of Lance Armstrong, Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop opened in 2008 in downtown Austin’s historic warehouse district. From day one we've served as a riders' destination and a place of social gathering. The shop’s urban setting, near the epicenter of Austin’s burgeoning bicycle lane network, adjacent to the Shoal Creek trail and near Butler Trail along Lady Bird Lake, is based on our commitment to and belief in cycling as viable transportation, as well as riding for fun and fitness. Our in-house café, Juan Pelota,is a social hub for riders, downtown residents, and those that work in our neighborhood. Serving coffee, smoothies, snacks, wine and beer, Juan Pelota’s patio and indoor space is welcoming to all—cyclists or those just looking for a friendly neighborhood café. To further cycling's growth in Austin we support local groups and initiatives that increase local ridership. Be it Bike Austin’s push for new cycling infrastructure, sponsoring Austin’s oldest cycling club Violet Crown or working with like-minded groups that spread the joy of cycling is part of who we are. We want to be your bike shop. With gear for every type of rider, from kids just getting started to experienced cyclists of all stripes, our entire inventory was curated with one goal: to make you love riding your bike. And our award-winning service department is committed to keeping you rolling—with most repair work done in 24 hours. From bike purchase to next bike adventure, we'll make sure you have what you need to make the most of it.
