Policies and Shipping

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind everything we sell. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, simply return the unused item within 10 days with receipt and original packaging and we'll replace it or give you a refund. For bikes, we take great efforts to understand your riding goals, style, and fit you with the proper bike. However, if you still aren't satisfied, we offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee for bikes.  We will give you a merchandise credit within 30 days of the purchase date. Merchandise credit is in the form of a Johnny Velo Bikes gift card.  Returned bike must be in like new condition.  Special order bikes require a 100% payment before ordering.  If at any time before the bike has been shipped from the manufacturer you wish to cancel you will be able to return the bike minus a 20% restocking fee.  Please read "Returns" below for more information.

Shipping Options

Shipping options are available for most apparel and accessory items. Orders typically ship within one business day of being placed. Occasionally, we are able to ship a bike depending on circumstances and approval from out manufacturers and in market dealers. Shipment prices and insurance are billed at cost to the customer.

Due to our dealer agreements, some bikes may not be eligible for shipping.

Information Security

We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all of the information you provide to us and prevents outside parties from being able to "see" your transaction information. When your account information is displayed on your screen, we only display the last five digits of your credit card numbers. You also have the choice of whether or not to save credit card information with us in your Online Account.

We sometimes use other companies (third-party service providers) to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders and delivering packages. They need access to some personal information in order to perform their duties but may not use this information for other purposes.

Returns

If there’s a problem with a product that you purchased from us, please bring it back to us. We will refund the original purchase amount within 30 days of your purchase for items returned in new condition or are defective with original packaging. Some merchandise may be subject to a restocking fee. 

You may also ship an item back to us if it is defective or not to your satisfaction. Ship returns via Ground UPS or insured US Mail (we do not accept CODs). We will refund shipping costs on damaged or incorrect merchandise. Merchandise returned that appears used will be subject to a restocking fee. 

Labor fees, such as custom wheel builds or other services, are non-refundable.

Outside Parts Policy

Would you take a steak to a restaurant and ask the chef to prepare it for you?  How about bringing your own hair dye or shampoo and have your hair stylist use that instead? Of course not!  That's how we feel about people that buy parts online and bring them into a bike shop and ask them to have us install them.  Therefore, we will not install parts you buy from the outside in most cases. If we do make an exception, the following apply:

  • We will not warranty any of the parts even if we are an authorized retailer of the manufacturer.
  • We cannot guaranty outside parts will perform as expected.
  • We cannot guaranty outside parts are original and not counterfeit.
  • If outside parts are the wrong size, type, model, etc. we will not install them and will install them with original parts we provide without waiting for approval from the customer. We will return them to you when you come and pick up your bike.
  • All service orders where outside parts are involved will be billed at the shop rate of $75.00 per hour.  Menu pricing does not apply.
  • You will be charged an outside parts fee between $10 to $100.

Service Policy

  • Completion dates are estimates.  We will do our best but as we work on service orders other issues may arise and require more time or additional parts that may have to be ordered.
  • A $15 contingency fee will apply if needed on all work orders. This prevents us having to call you and wait for approval thus delaying when you get your equipment back.
  • You must provide a working address, phone, and email address that we can reach you at.  Should you not respond to our attempts to reach you additional fees may be incurred. 
  • It is your responsibility to pick up your equipment within one week of completion of work.  If you equipment remains at the shop within 30 days of either completion or lack of direction on your part as to what needs done, your bike will incur a $25 monthly storage fee each month it remains at the shop.  Equipment may have been moved to storage and may require additional time to retrieve it if not notified in advance.
  • If your equipment has not been picked within 180 days  we reserve the right to sell it to recoup storage costs, parts and service labor rates of $75 an hour.
