Refried Cycles was a favorite bike place in the heart of San Francisco’s Castro district, known for bike love for fixing up old bikes from the golden eras of the ’80s and ’90s. Started by Aubrey, an ex-bike messenger crazy about bikes, Refried Cycles quickly became a hangout for bikers of all levels, from everyday commuters to seasoned enthusiasts.
Beyond its impressive collection of used bikes and parts, Refried Cycles was a biker meetup spot, fostering a lively bike scene through group rides, bike events and classes. The shop’s really good at fixing and bike care was legendary, with its expert fixers earning a reputation for super careful fixing and dedication to keeping San Francisco’s bikes on the road.
While Refried Cycles closed its physical doors in 2017 due to the rising cost of rent and the increasing popularity of online bike sales, its memory still kicks in the hearts of countless cyclists who loved its vibe and all about bikers. Today, Heyden Camden continues to create blogs and share knowledge about bicycles, carrying on the torch ignited by Refried Cycles and making sure that the passion for cycling remains alive and well.
