Readers' Choice: What's the Best Bike Shop in Marin?

Marin — the birthplace of mountain biking — is a cycling hub for hundreds, if not thousands.

We’ll skip the debate of road vs. mountain biking and jump to a subject that applies to all: bike shops. Where do you go when you need a new bike or cycling maintenance?

In our latest edition of Readers' Choice, we've given you the keys, letting you primarily formulate the list of nominees and then select the winner. We solicited nominations from June 18 to July 9.

Voting began on July 23 and continues until Aug. 17. Some Readers' Choice categories span across all of Marin and others dig deep into individual towns and cities. Visit our topic page for all the Readers' Choice information.

Here’s who readers said should be in the running for best bike shop in Marin:

• Studio Velo in Mill Valley
• The Village Peddler in Larkspur
• Green Lite Bikes in Corte Madera
• Tam Bikes in Mill Valley
• Sunshine Bicycle Center in Fairfax
• 3 Ring Cycles in San Anselmo
• Classcycle in Novato
• Old Town Sports in Novato
• A Bicycle Odyssey in Sausalito
