About Black Mountain Bicycles

The Black Mountain Bicycles Story

Black Mountain Bicycles has been a fixture in the San Diego cycling community for the past 50 years, offering San Diego's premier retail cycling establishment. We proudly serve the greater San Diego County, from Chula Vista to Carlsbad.  Our convenient location off the I-15 in Scripps Ranch serves cyclists in 4S Ranch/Del Sur, Rancho Penasquitos, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, and Escondido very well.

We helped pioneer mountain bikes into San Diego as we sold Gary Fisher Mt Tam #33 and first generation Stumpjumpers back in 1982. We offer San Diego's largest mountain bike selection, proudly representing Specialized, Pivot, Santa Cruz, and Scott . The finest road and gravel bikes from Specialized, Cervelo, Scott, and Moots adorn our showroom. Let's not forget our first love, the BMX bike, represented by FitBikeCo.  And now as the electrification of cycling sweeps the world we are excited to offer the industries best Electric Bikes with Specialized Turbo Levo's, Vado's, and Como's, and more new tech on the horizon.  

Great accessories and clothing from Specialized, Pearl Izumi, IXS, Troy Lee, Shimano, and Kuat can be found in-store, plus much more. Our experienced and certified service department technicians repair all makes and models of bicycles. We are San Diego's premier Shimano Authorized Service Center, SRAM Service Center, and Fox Suspension Authorities.  And when you need to be fit see our Retuel Certified Fitters to be correctly dialed into your bike with a Retuel 3D Fit.

Thanks for reading our story, and we hope to see you soon at our San Diego bike shop.
