Ladies Night
Join us and Specialized for a "ladies night," at Tip Top Bike Shop
Wednesday 04/30/08 6:30pm. Please RSVP if you would like to attend.

Ladies night will involve a bike identification talk. A flat fix session —there will be lots of wheels and a whole box full of tire levers for everyone to practice with --so expect to get a little dirty! Helpful discussion on what tools to bring along on a bike ride and the best equipment to wear. Finally there will be talk about women’s specific design and why it is beneficial. Of-course there will also be plenty of time to ask questions and discuss the joys of riding!

'07 Bike Blowout to celebrate our first birthday!
Only a few models and sizes left. Come in and adopt one today!
All '07 bicycles (except Dahon), will be on big sale starting Saturday April 5th and continuing thru April. They will be priced as low as we can go. We have full suspension, road, and commuter style bicycles available in some sizes.

Try it you'll like it
We have new 'try before you buy' programs to help you improve your ride.
FSR Test Ride Center--we have Specialized Stumpjumper and Safire full suspension bikes to demo. Take 'em out and get them dirty for the whole day. More sizes and models coming soon.
Roval Wheel Test Center--do you ever wonder why people always recommend wheels as the best upgrade for your bike? Try a set of Rovals and find out. We have road and disk-mountain wheels to try, and once you do, you'll understand what a great difference they make.

   

Who we are

We are a couple of Bay Area immigrants who LOVE Oakland and Bicycles. As people who ride every day, we want to share our enthusiasm and knowledge with people who want to start riding bikes, keep riding, or ride something new. The shop is thoroughly enjoying being open & we look forward to helping more people find the perfect new ride, fix up a loved old ride, or help you find the perfect bicycle accessory. We look forward to meeting you all soon.

Richard & Charlotte.
