Buying a bicycle in Tel Aviv is a particularly painful task. They get stolen left and right, require hundreds of shekels of repair, and let's not get started on all the "necessary" accessories. It's par for the course though – biking is still the best way to get around. We've collected recs from local experienced riders to gauge where to purchase or rent your next wheel-mobile.

The Best Bike Shops in Tel Aviv

Puncher TLV

The young, urban shop on HaNevi'im Street offers a variety of city bikes within a comfortable budget, and the aim is to provide clients with local and dedicated service. In addition to selling bikes, the store also hosts "beer-riding" events every month, during which they leave the store for a 15 km ride in Tel Aviv and end up having a nice drink to regain those lost calories.

Bike Garage

The garage, as its name implies, is a sort of neighborhood bicycle warehouse on the outskirts of Florentine. If you arrive on a busy Friday morning, you will encounter a trail of neighborhood riders, both electric and regular, waiting to deposit their loved bicycles in the reliable hands of Yehuda, the store's owner. Apart from repairs (the main reason for going there), the Garage also has a basic supply of new and second-hand bicycles.

Slalom

The shop, which opened more than 20 years ago, was the first of its kind on HaHashmonaim Street, where many similar stores are now located.

For the city's riders, the store also offers a variety of new models and sometimes also publishes second-hand bikes.

Matzman et Merutz

Like Rosen and Mintz (and with a rather confusing similar name), Matzman et Merutz is also ideal for the big brand enthusiasts. This is one of the largest bike stores chain in Israel, and in its flagship store, close to Azrieli Mall, you can choose from a rich variety. On the website you can use a very convenient feature that filters a bicycle for you according to your needs.
