Topping the list is Criterium Bicycles. Located at 6150 Corporate Drive in Northwest Colorado Springs, the store and bike rental spot is the highest-rated bike shop in Colorado Springs, boasting five stars out of 47 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Sam W. offered this enthusiastic review: "This place is awesome. It was recommended by a few of our friends and, as a bonus, this is the only shop in the Springs open on Sunday. We've been working with AJ, and he is very knowledgeable. The highest compliment I can give him is that he always meets us where we're at in terms of our knowledge and ability."

2. Ted's Bicycles

Next up is Central Colorado Springs' Ted's Bicycles, situated at 3016 N. Hancock Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 25 reviews on Yelp, the bike shop and bike rental spot has proven to be a local favorite.

Yelper Nameer K. raved, "If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I am from out of town; the owner went far and beyond my expectations to make sure I got what I needed. The prices are very reasonable. The owner took the time to suggest to me where to go and what to do while in Colorado Springs."

3. Ascent Cycling

Ascent Cycling, a bike shop and bike repair spot in Powers, is another go-to, with four stars out of 28 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5928 Stetson Hills Blvd. to see for yourself.

We've been buying accessories from Old Town Bike Shop for years and also have had multiple bikes serviced there for the past 18 years (ours and our kids). Friendly staff and knowledgeable techs there. The owner even works in the shop and stays active with the customers."
